The Silent Wife

Chapter 262

“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong, though. Could it be that you fractured a bone or something?”

“It’s not that serious, I guess.” Justin stretched out his hand toward Rachel. “Let’s go back with you helping me. I think Charlotte must’ve gone back by now.”

Rachel wanted to search for Charlotte, but she couldn’t leave Justin here in such a state. Having no alternative, she decided to take him back to the campsite first. If Charlotte didn’t return to the campsite, she would come back to search for her.

“Just rest assured, Rachel. Charlotte fears the dark more than anything else, so there’s no way she’ll wander outside on her own for such a long time. She must’ve gone back.”

“Let’s hope so.”

With that, the two headed back with Justin’s arm resting on Rachel’s shoulder as she supported him. As the man was nearly 190 centimeters tall, it didn’t look like Rachel was propping him up. Instead, it looked more like he was holding her hostage. In fact, there was no way Rachel could help him up if he didn’t hold himself upright.

“Actually, I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you.”

“Talk about what?”

“I’d like to formally apologize to you for what has happened in the past. I know that I used to be mean to you, and I can never make up for that, but I’ll do my best. Just give me a chance for Charlotte’s sake.”

Rachel frowned. “How much do you remember about the past?”

“I asked Frankie about it, and he told me part of the story. In short, I was mean to you.”

“Not really” Rachel sounded frosty. “It was normal for you to resent me back then. After all, I wasn’t the person you wanted to marry at the time.”

“So, can you forgive me?”

“Now that we’re divorced, everything that has happened during our marriage doesn’t count anymore.”

“In that case, in the future.”

Did you lose your sense of shame along with your memory?” Victor had become even angrier with Justin ever since he learned about the latter’s amnesia. He hurt Rachel so much at the time, only to forget about all of it thanks to a car accident, he thought. “I’m warning you, don’t keep after Rachel like a fly, or I’m gonna beat the shit out of you!” He put out his fist and waved it before Justin with
