Chapter 215



I can barely remember how I ended up leaving the Pattersons'.

Mr. Patterson told me to hold off on panicking; he thought he could figure something out, maybe even talk some sense into Clyde.

But it was as if I was deaf to everything.

Rachel had moved in with the Pattersons, Clyde was defending her, and the disdain in Rachel's eyes...

It hit me then. Everything clicked.

If Clyde had accepted Rachel from the start, and she had used some trick or another, it's no wonder he wouldn't want to remember me.

I'm not sure if there's a psychological term for it, but something felt off.

I couldn't fathom why Rachel would do this. Clyde had to wake up to the truth eventually.

These thoughts haunted me as I went home.

I couldn't understand why Rachel would do such a thing, as if Clyde and I had never wronged her.
