He had remembered a great deal over the past few days.

Every time a memory resurfaced, the pain in his heart intensified.

The memories that had steadily returned over just this past week were already causing him unbearable agony.

He could not accept that Marie was with Derrick…

Nor could he accept that they already had a child.

“Marie.”

“Tell me, what am I supposed to do?”

His sorrowful voice was filled with anguish and despair.

This was the first time since Marie and Dan had reunited that she had heard such an emotion in his voice.

This despair was practically tearing him apart…

Marie also understood.

After he faked his death, the effects of the drug must have caused him to forget a lot.

Later, he remembered himself, but he hadn’t fully recalled everything between them.

And now… he had remembered!

But what was the use?

Marie narrowed her eyes: “Only one thing: letting go.”

Dan’s breath hitched.

He looked up at Marie, only to meet her icy gaze, which held no warmth.

“Marie…”

Marie.

That was what he used to call her.

:

And the moment Dan reunited with her, he called her Marie, a name devoid of emotion.

Perhaps at that time, as Dan said, he hadn’t fully remembered.

Only…

“The moment you faked your death, you shouldn’t have expected me to wait for you.”

The single phrase, “faked your death,” shattered Dan’s despair and agony right there.

And it was shattered in such a sarcastic manner.

Faked his death…

She was reminding Dan of the method he had used to leave her.

After that kind of deception, how could he possibly expect Marie to wait for him?

No matter why he chose to leave that way back then, he should have known that if he was going to be a dead man in Marie’s heart, Marie would certainly move on and start a new life.

Dan’s face turned pale in that moment.

He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but facing Marie’s cold eyes, he couldn’t utter a single word.

Marie looked so clear–headed right now.

She didn’t seem to be moved in the slightest by his suffering.

Dan’s breathing quickened: “Marie, you…”

Marie forcefully pulled her hand out of Dan’s grip.

Then she pulled out a tissue and wiped her hand: “Dan, if I were you, I would remain a dead man forever.”

“Be a proper dead man. Change your name and surname. Make sure there is no one named Dan left in this world.”

If he chose to leave this way, he should have left completely.

Dan: “But back then, I…”

“What happened back then isn’t important. What’s important is that you chose to die in my

world!”

Dan: “…”

In that moment, Dan lost all strength.

Especially meeting Marie’s cold eyes, he found it difficult to breathe.

“Marie.”

Marie: “Turn around.”

She pushed Dan away and slammed the car door shut with a bang.

The driver nodded: “Yes.”

The path ahead was blocked by Dan’s car, but by turning around and taking another route, they could still get back.

The moment the car started, Dan instinctively reached out to Marie again.

“Marie…”

But the car window was already up.

Marie’s profile, seen by Dan at that moment, was utterly cold.

So cold, it was as if she had never been moved by him, never loved him.

Marie left.

Dan stood rooted to the spot, his entire body so cold his blood felt frozen.

Conan got out of the car and walked up behind Dan: “The old man called, asking you to return to Redwood.”

Dan closed his eyes.

He knew Dale was currently locked in a fierce battle with Diana.

What did he want by calling him back now?

He thought about how Dale had always favored Artemis and her three children over the years.

Even though everything was clear now, that deep–seated favoritism and prejudice meant Dan’s

trust in him was still zero!

So, being asked to return precisely when Dale and Diana were at their fiercest point of conflict…

Dan’s first reaction was…

How did he plan to use him in this conflict?

Dan closed his eyes: “Was that Butler Lenny who called?”

Conan: “Yes.”

“Did he say anything else?”

Conan: “He didn’t say anything else, but given the current situation of the Ashen Pact, we should be cautious.”

“Especially Diana. In Conan’s view, that woman was far from simple.”

After all these years of being secretly hunted by Artemis, she had returned to Redwood completely unharmed.
