Chapter 1584 The hidden reasons
Although Erin was mentally unhealthy, he was loyal and devoted to his friends. Even when his older brother instructed him to monitor Ryan, Erin never revealed any negative information about Ryan to his brother. He even tried many ways to help Ryan regain his memory, including sitting in front of Ryan’s grave, drinking and toasting to his tombstone for the whole day.
When Ryan returned to the Imperial Capital, Erin was
overjoyed and didn’t treat him as disabled despite losing his legs. Erin pushed him around and tried everything to help him walk again. However, Ryan, because of his unrequited love, lost the belief to stand up and repeatedly rejected Erin’s efforts.
Ryan thought that if he hadn’t rejected Erin, with Erin’s medical skills, he could have been able to walk again. But Erin was already living a miserable life, and Ryan couldn’t bear to let him go through the trouble of dealing with his legs and depression.
Unexpectedly, even though Erin was overwhelmed with his own issues, his last thoughts were still about Ryan’s legs and encouraging him to keep going. Ryan felt ashamed and lowered his head, unable to hold back tears when he touched Erin’s pale face.
“I will fulfill your last wish, Erin. Rest in peace…”

Seeing the traces of blood, it seemed like the writing stopped here, as if suddenly feeling that no one in this world would come to see him, and feeling that it was meaningless to continue. After all, for Erin, his father, who married his stepmother, only cared about her, and their conflicts caused his relationship with his father to deteriorate to the point of becoming enemies.

If it weren’t for his grandparents protecting him in the past, Erin would have been kicked out by his biological father and stepmother long ago. Unfortunately, his grandparents had passed away by the time he grew up, so he felt that there would be no one to take care of his burial. Writing more would be useless…
Did he ever think that she would come back? He probably did, but from this perspective, he, who could gaze at the sea from afar, never waited for her to turn around before his blood ran dry, so he knew she wouldn’t come back. Thus, his testament ended with the words “in the next life.”
Nobody knew what Erin wanted to do in the next life. Did he want to meet her again, or did he never want to see her again?
Stella couldn’t guess, but she wondered why, if Erin had some feelings for her when they were younger, he still sent people to harm the girl he liked. She stared at Erin’s ghostly pale face for a

while, then slowly lifted her head and looked at Ryan, asking, “Mr. Collins, do you know why he treated me like that back then?”
With reddened eyes, Ryan shook his head gently. “Erin never said much about the bad things between you two…”
The most he talked about was what Stella liked, where she wanted to go, whether she still had feelings for him, why she hadn’t called him yet, and if she no longer wanted him… But those were all things he said when he was drunk.
It was evident that Stella was precious to Erin in his heart, so precious that he carefully avoided mentioning her. However, the grievances between them were too great…
