Upon learning about the origin of the child, Alivia gently closed her eyes, blocking the bright light coming through the window. Although she couldn't recall everything clearly, she was still shocked by her daring self from years ago.
In an unfamiliar foreign country, she gave birth to a child for Huston. What courage did it take for an unsupported woman to make such a decision?
She must love him very much.
"At that time when you returned, I swore to protect you and Lucas for the rest of my life. But I never expected that so many unexpected things would happen afterward. Honestly, in my thirty-plus years of life, it's the first time I feel so useless, unable to even protect my own woman," Huston chuckled lightly, a self-deprecating smile on his face, "If one day you truly remember everything and no longer want to believe in me or be with me, I will give you everything I have and then disappear from your life."
Evelyn had seen him persistent and determined, but she had never seen him speak so despairingly.
Somehow, a feeling of discomfort stirred within her. She recalled Kevin's words:
"Even though you have amnesia now and can't remember anything, your potential mind will remember for you, and your brain will react subconsciously. These reactions might not come from your consciousness but from your instincts."
So, when she heard him talk about disappearing, her forgotten self deep down reacted with pain.
Evelyn couldn't describe this unique sensation, but she could strongly feel the profound love in it.
Perhaps, she should face this emotion head-on. Even if it was for her past fearless self, she shouldn't continue to escape.
