A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 971

At this point, Adam smiled in an embarrassed manner; he lowered his head and said, “But you haven’t promised me yet! Others say you’re a flirt, but I don’t think so. To me, you’ll always appear pure and loyal! Even though we aren’t lovers, but we turned out to be best friends!”

Rae didn’t expect things to turn out this way; if Rae and Adam were best friends, then how did he end up in a car accident?

“When we were together, we’d go out drinking, partying, and sometimes, we went drag racing! Rae, you even drove up to 180 km per hour, don’t you remember?” Adam seemed to be deep in thought, nostalgically recalling past memories.

Rae stuttered, “180?”

“Yeah! You haven’t sped like that afterward, have you?”

Rae nodded, “Nope, never again!”

“How about we-”Adam stopped speaking; he looked down at his legs in an upset manner.

Rae burst out, “Adam, go do rehab; it’ll be difficult, but I think if you keep at it, you’ll definitely be able to walk again!”

“Rae!” Adam sounded a bit emotional, “I-”

“I believe in you!” Rae cut him short. She knew that he needed encouragement right now.

Rae continued, “I still want to go speeding, so let’s make a deal! If you don’t mind, I still want us to stay friends!”

“Of course!” Adam immediately shook his head, “Why would I mind, as long as you’ll still have me around!”

Rae laughed.

Adamthen said, “Back then, even with your cheerful personality, for some reason, you always seemed to burst out crying after drinking. You’d hold onto me and bawl, saying how you still missed him and how much your heart hurt over Reuben, that man you loved! You would madly think about him and wanted to go find him, but I don’t know why you didn’t. You were always so depressed that I didn’t know what do but put on a smile and try to console you…”

Rae sank into thought; it appeared that the real Rae really was in love with Rueben, but then they separated in the end?

Adam continued to talk, “You said it then, that man who went overseas was the only one you wanted. So you tried hard to follow in his footsteps, but then, out of the blue, you stopped mentioning it one day, and you even seemed a bit self-destructive. You seemed to have lost that shine and glimmer, and became like an empty shell compared to your past.”

Rae pondered a bit, then asked, “Did you know how many friends I had then? For example, do you happen to know how many intimate male friends I had?”

Adam froze at such an unexpected question.

He looked at her in a puzzled way, “Why do you ask? Or did you suddenly remember something? Do you think you had a lot of male friends then?”

Rae shook her head, “No! I didn’t remember anything, but I just had a feeling, but I can’t remember. When I came back to City B, a lot of people mentioned it to me. Since I couldn’t remember my past, I was especially afraid of someone using that against me and slandering my name. You know how it is with my family; it’s tough for my father, and I’ve got to uphold the family reputation. Even if I can’t bring any honor to the family, I sure can’t bear to ruin it. So I just want to know, just what happened back then?”

As she spoke, Rae seemed rather depressed; she recalled to her mother, who was still lying on the hospital bed, her life hanging by a thread. All these things that are happening to the Baxter family was really out to come after Rae.

She felt like the responsibility was a huge burden, so she asked in a serious manner, “This is also how I make up for my actions in the past, so I hope you can tell me everything you know!”

Adam nodded in understanding. Looking at Rae distressed like this, he thought carefully and seemed to remember something, “Rae, for a while, you were really out of it and completely not yourself. Once, I thought I saw you get into a Rolls-Royce Phantom. I know your family’s wealthy, so I didn’t think much of it and thought it was your family’s car. But now that I think about it, I think there was an elderly man in the car. I didn’t see his face clearly, but I never asked you about it either. But thinking back, it looked like you two were fighting; you looked pissed, while he was smirking! I didn’t get a good look at him, and I thought it was your personal business, so I never asked and you never mentioned anything about it.”

Rae was surprised, “Anything else? Do you remember anything else that seemed out of the ordinary, like this event?”

Rae was quite concerned that she sped up talking.
