I comforted Mr. Holland for a long time before he finally felt better and ate some oatmeal.

When I got home that night, I pulled out Irvin’s medical records and the reports of his treatment with various devices. I analyzed his responses to the treatment to plan the next steps.
I wasn’t sure how I felt about Irvin, so I chose to ignore it completely and focus solely on treating his legs.
If his legs could recover and function properly again, we would be even. No matter what happened in the future, I would take it one step at a time.
Things would work out eventually.
By the time I finished comparing all the data and finalized the device frequency settings for Irvin’s treatment the next day, it was already past 1:00 am.
I collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep immediately.
Ever since my injuries from falling off the cliff, I needed sleeping pills to fall asleep every night. When I lost my memory, I thought my insomnia was due to the pain. But after my memories returned, I realized the pain had never been the real cause.
Before my injury, Irvin had been unpredictably hot and cold with me. His intimacy with Julianne had tormented me to the point that I developed severe insomnia, unable to sleep every night.
It had been a long time since I needed sleeping pills to fall asleep.
I couldn’t let go of my love for him, nor the pain he had caused me. Whenever I thought about the past, it would hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.
Sometimes, I wondered if it would have been better if I had never regained my memories. Without them, I wouldn’t be suffering in this agony.
The next day, when Irvin came to the work studio, he maintained his usual indifference and aloof demeanor.
But the moment the Hardwell family’s staff left, he immediately dropped his cold demeanor and became affectionate and playful.
He carefully reached into his coat, as if he was searching for a surprise, and pulled out a sunflower. “This is for you, babe! I hope you’ll always be as bright, cheerful, and happy as a sunflower.
His eyes sparkled with childlike sincerity. Even under such circumstances, he had smuggled in a flower just to make me happy, I suddenly felt my eyes well up with tears uncontrollably.
Sunflowers were my favorite flower. And the reason I loved them was because of him.
In fact, my first encounter with him wasn’t at the university. It was on my 17th birthday.
On that day, not only did my parents buy a birthday gift for my brother while completely ignoring me, but they also dragged me to the local court to change my name to “Millicent Quill“.
They wanted me to always remember that I had to give in to Julianne.
I resisted with all my might and ran away from home.
To make my parents regret it, I ran all the way to the seaside and called them , threatening to jump into the oce me to change my name. I told them they would lose me forever.

But instead of worrying about me, they dared me to do it. They told me that if I didn’t have the guts, I should go home and apologize to Julianne. Then, they said that whether I agreed or not, my name had already been changed.
I was still a minor, so they didn’t even need my consent. All they needed was my ID card.
