Chapter 295 I Don't Mind

The Pain

"It's not what you think. You've misunderstood." Freya said, her voice calm but edged with urgency-though she hadn't been given the opportunity to explain the whole situation

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not doesn't matter. What matters is getting Kristian out of here," Ethel insisted, her tone brimming with fierce resolve. She had no clue what had unfolded between Freya and Kristian on Butterfly Island, nor did she know Kristian had nearly lost his life trying to save her sister.

Tl go talk to him," she announced, flinging the door open and marching out, trying her best to sound authoritative-but managing to come off more adorable than intimidating.

Freya reached out instinctively to stop her. "Sheila!" she called, but it was already too late.

To Ethel, her sister was the whole world.

The last time Kristian had visited, neither she nor Hugh had any idea what had happened between Kristian and Freya. But now that she did, there was no chance she'd let Freya suffer again.

Even if Kristian came across as daunting, Ethel had already made up her mind- he had to go. Who knew what he might do to her sister if they were left alone together?

Fueled by that thought, Ethel hauled over the suitcases and thrust them into Kristian's arms just as he finished setting down his jacket.

Kristian blinked, bewildered. What in the world was happening?

"Take your things and leave," Ethel declared, forcing a brave expression onto her face despite the fluttering nerves twisting in her gut. "You're not welcome here, and I hope you'll stop bothering my sister from now on."

In an instant, Ethel's words shattered the fragile happiness that had flickered inside Kristian from Freya's earlier concern. He turned toward Freya, who had just stepped out of the bedroom, his eyes clouded with helplessness and confusion- silently pleading for an answer. Hadn't Freya brought him here herself? Then why was he being asked to leave?

"Sheila," Freya murmured, tugging lightly at Ethel's arm.

"I have to do this!" Ethel insisted.

"He's lost his memory," Freya explained curtly. "He doesn't remember anything from before. Right now, he's just a child inside-a five-year-old, mentally."

Ethel was utterly stunned. Amnesia? Five years old? No way. He had to be faking it.

She was just about to protest when Kristian's soft voice cut through the tension.
