Chapter 206
try had lost his memories and was replaced by a younger ersion of himself because he couldn’t cope with what he had done. However, the same held true for his younger version too.
He was the reason I had suffered tech grave injuries, and yet he wasn’t aware of it. Neither version of himself was able to deal with this fact
He couldn’t believe he had tried to beg for my forgiveness, because even he couldn’t forgive himself for what he had done to me.
Plus, I had laid in a hospital bed for so long because of my injuries. It had taken almost three months before I could move again. And he hadn’t even visited me once the entire time, let alone cared for me.
Irvin shouldn’t have ignored me like that if he truly loved me, especially when I was in that condition. It didn’t matter how angry he had been at me.
So, hew could I possibly believe his claims of true love given the way he had acted? Forget me, even the judge wouldn’t believe him. Even he couldn’t believe he truly loved me, because how could he have acted this way if he did?
Iryn’s gaze was full of despair as he looked at me from where he was lying on the floor.
He knew it was useless for him to do anything. He knew nothing he did would atone for his actions, and he also knew he no longer had the right to .
Irvin was also lost. He didn’t understand how his older self could allow our relationship to turn out like this.
How had things gotten this far when he loved me so dearly?
No one knew how nervous he had been on our wedding day–how excited and how emotional he was. He would have rather stabbed himself to death than harm a single hair on my head.
So how could this be? How could it have come to this?
I was no longer his and we wouldn’t be together till our final breath. Not only that, how could he have hurt me like this?
Irvin couldn’t handle it. He couldn’t accept this outcome.
He was in despair and utterly miserable that he couldn’t breathe. His anguish dragged him down into unconsciousness, and I slowly faded from his sight as his vision went dark.
Joy and sorrow were emotions that didn’t mix in the human world.
Thus, Irvin fainted from the agony he was in.
Despite this, my heart didn’t even stir as I looked at his unconscious form on the floor. Instead, I was bored and fed up.
I had reluctantly exposed my pain to the court. I had even emotionally weaponized the scars I had kept. en by showing them to everyone. It was all just to win over the judge and jury so I would finally be divorced after this hearing
And based on the sympathetic reactions from Judge Trudy and the jury earlier, I would have undoubtedly gotten

my wish this time. I would have been walking out of the courtroom with my divorce certificate in hand.
Bueno, Irvin just had to pass out, so we couldn’t continue with the hearing. We would have to reconvene at a later *date.
However, there was no guarantee the court would still have the same sentiment as they did right now. Plus, I didn’t want to have to repeat the process of exposing my scars.
So how could I not be frustrated?
Mark was frowning too. Clearly, he had hoped for a successful divorce verdict this time.
That being said, Irvin was completely unconscious, and it wasn’t the kind where he could be medically revived on the spot.
Hence, the hearing had to be postponed and rescheduled.
I was frustrated as I left the courtroom when Landon stopped me.
“Irvin genuinely regrets everything he’s done, Emilia, so you should follow him to the hospital-”
Landon tried to order me but I didn’t let him finish. With a straight expression, I said, “How about you go stab yourself, instead? 50 sounds like a nice number, so why don’t you stab yourself 50 times? And once you’re done, I’ll go see him.”
“You can’t be serious, Emilia?” Landon naturally responded.
It was absurd of me to tell him to stab himself, after all.
I sneered. “What? Don’t tell me you can’t even stab yourself for your close friend? Then how could you even demand I see him, Landon? How dare you tell me to put aside all the hurt he has caused me and go see him?”
I raised my voice. “What right do you have to tell me what to do? Where did you find the nerve to order me around?
Landon was speechless by my outburst.
Not bothering to wait for him to collect himself, I continued, “Get out of my face! I’ll have you beaten till you’re broken if you dare stop me again!”
I was already in a bad mood, and Landon stopping me had made it worse. I would have had my bodyguards give him a violent thrashing if we weren’t in a courthouse.
He looked like he had more to say. However, he recalled the evidence he had seen in the courtroom and was suddenly at a loss for words. He didn’t know what else he could say right now.
I walked out of the courthouse and entered my car. Noah, who had been following closely behind me soon as we were in the car, he hugged me tightly.
too. As
I was caught off guard by the sudden embrace. Coming back to my senses, I was about to push him away and scold him. But then, I heard him speak.
