Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1038
“My condition is fine now, but lately… I suddenly realized that although I’ve forgotten a lot of things from the past, what I’ve forgotten most is the memories with my ex-wife.
“I always thought I didn’t love her in the past. All I remember are the bad things about her. I hate her a lot, but recently, subsequent evidence has appeared, proving I might’ve cared about her in the past. However, I don’t know why I can’t remember that I cared about her and some other things relating to her.”
Shaun muttered, “I used to hate going to places like KFC, but a while back, I heard from my friend that I accompanied Catherine there before. I even offended many people to get revenge for her. I also spent a huge amount of money on buying her a very expensive and meaningful diamond necklace.”
Professor Lincoln’s eyebrows knitted into a frown. He was deep in thought. “You just don’t remember things regarding her?”
“Not really. I can’t remember some other things too. That was why I didn’t take this seriously back then. However, I’ve noticed lately that the things I’ve forgotten seem… mostly related to her. I even… It’s very strange. If I really cared about her before, why would I hate her so much after that?
Furthermore, my memories of hate toward her are still complete. It was only until recently that I suddenly realized that a lot of my memories with her are missing.”
Shaun was confused. He really could not get his head around it.
“I’m sorry, Professor Lincoln. The way I put it might be difficult for you to understand. To be honest, I don’t really know how to describe that feeling myself either.”
Professor Lincoln nodded. Then, he took out a pen and drew a line on a piece of paper. “This line represents your current state. The spaces in between are the memories you’ve forgotten.”
“That’s right.” Shaun nodded.
