The young man’s ability to stand again had filled his family with overwhelming Joy. Coincidentally, it was also his 17th birthday, so they threw a grand birthday party and invited me to attend.
I couldn’t refuse. I was genuinely happy for him, so I went.
Since his family was acquainted with William, they were undoubtedly influential figures in Lestoria. Therefore, the Hardwells were also invited.
When I saw Grace pushing Irvin’s wheelchair into the venue, attending the party as a married couple, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
I must really be a hopeless romantic.
I had planned to use the time spent treating Irvin’s legs to treat my withdrawal symptoms from him. I wanted my final decision to be cutting him out of my life completely.
But instead of letting go–as I had hoped–the time we spent together only reminded me how good he once was to me. Even though I knew he had no choice, my heart still ached to see him with another woman.
I truly…
I really hated how I was. It made me long for the time when I had lost my memories.
When I looked at Irvin, he also turned to look at me.
Yesterday, when he had come to my work studio pretending to receive treatment, I had mentioned that I would be attending a birthday party, and he said that he also had one to attend.
It turned out to be the same one.
So, the moment he entered, he was instinctively scanning the crowd for me.
When he finally spotted me, his first reaction was to flash me a bright smile. He even almost stood up to walk toward me.
But just as he was about to move, he remembered his identity now and that he had to pretend his legs hadn’t healed yet.
The smile at the corner of his lips disappeared instantly, and his eyes darkened.
At that moment, Grace leaned down and looked at him. “Tim , isn’t that your therapist, Ms. Quill? Should I push you over to say
hi?”
Seeing her gentle smile, Irvin was reminded of how she had already known he was faking his hypnosis, yet she had flawlessly acted as if she had no idea.
At that moment, he found her terrifying.
Before he could respond, Grace had already wheeled him toward me.
She looked at me with a smile. “Ms. Quill, I heard you’ve almost healed Hugh’s legs. That’s so impressive! Is my husband close to a full recovery as well?”
I pushed those unnecessary thoughts aside and answered with a faint smile, “Mr. Hardwell is recovering very well. I be be able to stand on his own very soon.”
“Thank you so much, Ms. Quill!” Grace looked at me gratefully. Her gratitude seemed so genuine that everyone around us believed she truly meant it.
Just as I was about to say something, her phone suddenly chimed, she took it out, glanced at the screen, and her expression changed dramatically.

Her reaction was so intense that the people around us immediately sensed something was about to happen. Everyone turned
their eyes to us.
Before anyone could guess what it was, she raised her phone toward me. “Ms. Quill, I entrusted my husband to you for treatment. And yet, this is how you repay that trust? How could you do this?”
