“I don’t know. It’s just my gut feeling,” Felicity said. “He fell into the water but didn’t hurt his head at all. How could he suddenly lose his memories? And, he remembers every other thing and people, except you. It’s just too surreal.”
Stella fell silent for a while and said, “But, why would he do this? I don’t understand.”
Felicity frowned, pondered to herself, and slapped her forehead. “I figured it out!”
Stella looked at her.
Felicity then continued, “Think about it. Keegan was severely injured, and I’m sure that he’s unable to take care of himself. That way, that pretentious witch can easily control him. He must’ve threatened Keegan and forced him to break up with you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t save him. In order to survive, Keegan would have no choice but to play along with her and pretend not to remember you.”
Stella was speechless.
“Keegan lost his memories; he didn’t lose his mind. It won’t be that easy for Jaylene to control him.”
Felicity scratched her head. “Then, what’s the reason for him to pretend?”
Stella fell silent for a while and suddenly said, “I have a way to find out if he’s really pretending or not.”
Felicity’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”
Stella looked at the small bottle of complimentary wine that the winery manager gave them when they made their purchase earlier, and she smirked. “Let’s wait until he’s recovered first.” 1 Felicity did not know what she was planning, but she just somewhat trusted her.
“Stella, I admire you for having such a good mindset. If Stinky Cucumber disappeared for a month, came back with another woman, and kept ignoring me, I would do everything in my power to ruin their relationship without a doubt.”
■ Stella replied softly, “I’d rather have him not remember me than never come back. Jaylene may have other motives, but she brought him back alive, after all.”
