When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 39 A Questionable Lapse In Memory

Nathaniel had once seen Cecelia’s medical reports and was aware that she suffered from severe depression.

He had also researched the illness and knew it resulted in memory loss, but his research never mentioned anything about forgetting someone entirely!

They had known each other for over a decade!

Seeing that Nathaniel remained silent, Cecelia looked at him and asked, “You’re not who has hurt me in the past, are you? Otherwise, why wouldn’t I remember you?”

Those words pierced Nathaniel’s heart.

His lips slightly parted, and his voice was laced with a hint of frostiness as he replied, “Ms. Smith, you’re overthinking. This is but a chance meeting.”

Nathaniel came to a conclusion. If Cecelia wanted to act, then he would play along.

After all, from beginning to end, he never really felt as though they were a married couple.

Before leaving, Nathaniel had someone sign a collaboration contract with Cecilia.

After returning to his office, Nathaniel started smoking incessantly again.

The thought of Cecelia’s words lingered in his mind. You’re not someone who has hurt me in the past, are you? Otherwise, why wouldn’t I remember you?

He felt as though his heart was suffocating.
