He stared at Martha, expecting to see that she didn't mean it.
To his disappointment, Martha's face showed nothing more than a light smile.
He stiffened and looked painfully at Martha standing beside him.
"I don't believe that you don't care about me at all, if you didn't care about me, when I was in the car accident, how could you be so anxious?"
Martha's smile was wider.
She frankly answered, "If it were any other person who saved me like that, I would have been anxious."
"But you ... clearly said at that time that you would give me another chance."
Stefan stared intently at Martha in front of him, afraid to miss any difference in the latter's face.
Martha did not show any extra emotion from the beginning to the end, but only said lightly, "So, I forgive you for the things you did in the past."
Then, without waiting for Stefan to speak again, her gentle voice rang out again.
"Speaking of the car accident, I want to thank you. If you hadn't shown up in time, Jimmy and I would have been in trouble."
Martha said this, full of gratitude, as if she was saying "thank you" to a stranger, without any other emotion at all.
Stefan's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt sadder.
He had expected Martha to have other emotions, but never thought Martha would treat him like a stranger.
His eyes were downcast, a faint sadness lingered around him, and his thin lips were pursed without speaking.
Martha smiled, and her voice became more and more polite.
"Mr. Harrison, you should let go. There is no turning back."
After saying this, she turned around to leave.
Stefan hugged her from behind.
Not waiting for her to look back, his hoarse voice sounded in her ear, low and magnetic.
"Martha, I can't let go."
Her eyes dimmed as she returned to her senses, and her voice grew colder and colder.
"Mr. Harrison, what are you doing?"
"I really know I was wrong, and I promise I will never treat you that way again. Can you give me one more chance?"
After Stefan said these words, the hand holding Martha unconsciously tightened, he was afraid that if he let go, the woman in his arms would go away.
Martha frowned slightly, looking ahead with increasingly cold eyes.
"I can't. I can't act as if nothing has happened."
He stiffened, and his eyes grew dark.
The next second, his thin lips lightly opened.
"But memory loss is not something I want, and I didn't expect ... to forget you."
Martha's eyes flashed with mixed feelings, her smile getting bitter.
If she was important to him, he would not choose to hurt her when he had a memory loss.
She thought of this and disengaged herself from Stefan's embrace with force, but to her surprise, Stefan was so strong that she couldn't make it.
"I don't want to lose you."
