My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 723 What’s Wrong With Flirting?

Was that why he was afraid of making me angry, that my name was exactly the same as that little girl's in his memory?

Ezekiel didn't remember my face.

But, he remembered someone called "Ree."

That could explain why he treated me differently even though I was his servant whom he had only met a few times.

"You said your name is Ree."

His words almost made me cry. The pain in my shoulder seemed to have disappeared at that instant. I felt as if I could endure his torment during the day as well as understand him now.

I always seemed to know him.

I had been through times when Ezekiel treated me extremely nicely before, so I knew this was just temporary no matter how much he had changed. He would recognize me again someday.

Just then, my phone rang.

I picked it up and saw a text message.

It was from Edward.

"Guide him through his emotions by helping him remember good memories slowly. I will discuss the rest in detail with you tomorrow as I still have patients to tend to here, Mrs. Xenos."

That girl named Ree whom Ezekiel had a crush on must be part of his cherished memories.

I put down my phone and looked at him who was sitting on the doorstep, resting his head on his knees with his gaze fixed on the scenery in the courtyard.

He seemed more gentle in the night than during the day. At the very least, he was willing to come over and talk to me, and he had just apologized to me as well.

I said, "You don't need to worry about me because I won't get angry with you, Mr. Hastings. I have a question..."

"What is it?" He asked softly.

"Is that girl named Ree important to you?"

I asked another question boldly.

I didn't want to bring up anything that might upset Ezekiel initially, but Edward told me to help him remember good memories.
