Chapter 295
Mamie was waiting for Agnes in her lounge room, obviously.
Agnes put down her handbag and said, “Is there anything you want from me?”
“Agnes, I still want to apologize to you.”
“You’re here to apologize on behalf of your brother, right? Let the past be the past”
Mamie seemed to be in a complicated mood, “I now finally get why Jared is so into you. Your tolerance is really
something not everyone has.”
Agnes chuckled, “Actually, I can be quite petty too. I just let you guys owe me a favor intentionally, in case I need
something from you down the line.”
Mamie also laughed, “No worries, I’ve already figured it out over the past few days. Jared has never actually loved
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme. Seeing his attitude towards you, that’s when I realized he only treats me like a brother treats his sister, and you
and him, you’re the real deal. Do you know what? Even though we’ve been together for years in name, he’s never
been jealous for me”
Agnes sat quietly, listening to her story.
A hint of helplessness showed on the corners of Mamie’s mouth, “I know it in my heart, but I just can’t bring myself
to let go. Do you know why I like Jared? When I was five, I was pushed from the top of a villa and fell into a
swimming pool. I almost drowned. It was Jared who saved me. Actually, I was unconscious at the time I couldn’t see
his face clearly, only remembering the feeling of drowning. I remember grabbing his collar, like grabbing a
lifesaver. When people are desperate, they form excessive dependence. He is my hero, so I’ve always loved him.”
Agnes suddenly frowned. There’s something I probably should tell you.”
Mamie paused, “What’s that?”
“About your drowning incident when you were five. I later asked Jared, and what he said seemed to be a bit
different from what you remember.”
Mamie’s face changed, “What did you say?”
“Jared said, the one who saved you from the water wasn’t him, but your brother. He was a step too late. When he
arrived. He saw Ivan trying to resuscitate you like crazy. You were underwater for four minutes. Your brother
thought you couldn’t be saved, and almost went crazy.”
Mamie was stunned.
How could this be possible?
Mamie, incredulous, said, “But my brother can’t swim.”
“Jared said, he also didn’t know how Ivan got you out. He definitely couldn’t swim then, but he was soaked to the
bone. Who else could it be?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMamie seemed to be greatly shocked.
For all these years, in her memory, that shadowy teenager was always Jared
Mamie muttered to herself, “But when I opened my eyes back then, the first person I saw was Jared.”
Agnes sighed, “That’s because Ivan, seeing you regain consciousness, couldn’t control himself and ran into the yard
crying. He thought he had lost you.”
Mamie was completely stunned, as if enchanted. How could this be? For so many years, Jared had always been her
superhero.
Because of this, she could never convince herself to give up chasing him.
Even though she was only five then, but up until now, she still remembered the feeling of drowning vividly. Every
time she thought of that moment, she still felt the deep despair and fear
Rather than saying she loved Jared, it’s more accurate to say that she saw him as a life-saving support.
But she had mistaken the person. Her superhero was actually Ivan, her brother who had always been protecting
her with his life.
