Chapter 1565
Ellinor saw his intention and gave the wheelchair a purposeful kick, sending it rolling perfectly to a stop right in front
of the man.
Marcus glanced at the wheelchair and raised his eyes to meet Ellinor’s, uttering a subdued “thanks.”
He then moved himself onto the wheelchair, inch by inch, maneuvering it towards her. He reached out for the
water bottle on the small balcony table, a bottle both of them had sipped from, and opened it to drink.
Ellinor was busy with her smartphone. She was sending messages, but her peripheral vision caught Marcus taking a
drink. She lifted her eyes briefly to watch him, then lowered them again to continue texting.
“Ellinor, you seem to actually fancy me, don’t you?” Marcus suddenly said.
Ellinor paused her texting, didn’t lift her eyes this time, and candidly replied, “Yes, I do fancy you. Is there a problem

Marcus was taken aback by her straightforward and honest answer. “I thought you would hate me more by now.”
Ellinor snorted dismissively. “I do hate you, too. These two feelings aren’t mutually exclusive.”
Marcus gazed at her thoughtfully. “Ellinor, you really are unlike other women.”
Ellinor smirked; her distaste was barely hidden. “How many women have you met since you lost your memory?
How would you know what’s different or not? In these three years of your pseudo-house arrest, haven’t you only
been in contact with one woman, Sophia?”
Marcus frowned as a hint of displeasure crept into his eyes.
Once she was done with her messages, Ellinor put her phone aside and calmly handed him a napkin to wipe the
sweat from his brow. “Do you want to take a shower and change your clothes? Or are you afraid Sophia will find out
you’re secretly doing physiotherapy?”
Marcus accepted the napkin and replied in a low voice, “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll shower after you
leave.”
Ellinor glanced at his powerless legs, then back up at his face, “Are you scared I’ll watch you shower?”
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Marcus’ lips. “What would I, a man, be afraid to show? Besides, haven’t you seen it
all already?”..
Ellinor rested her cheek on her hand, nonchalantly replying, “I have, but I was young then. I was too shy to take a
good look.”
Marcus fell silent.
This girl really had no shame.
Adrian sat quietly nearby, watching his mom and handsome Dad interact. He was both dismayed and thrilled. He’d
never seen his mom talk so much to anyone else, let alone-share a water bottle.

Ellinor didn’t hide it. “Yes, not only did I know him, but we were quite close.”
Adrian’s eyes lit up. “Really? How did you and handsome Dad meet? Can you tell me?”
Ellinor scoffed. “Why don’t you ask him?”
Immediately, Adrian’s curious eyes turned to Marcus.
Marcus, not knowing where to start and with no memories of those times, deflected the question. “Alright, Adrian,
let the adults worry about adult matters. Go run a bath for your dad, will you?”
Adrian, not receiving the answer he hoped for, pouted slightly but still obediently went to prepare Marcus’ bath.
After watching her son obediently leave, Ellinor maintained her casual pose while raising an eyebrow at Marcus.
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?”
Marcus replied, “No, but thank you.”
Ellinor shrugged. “Well, it’s okay. I’m not really into serving people anyway.”
Marcus gave her a pointed look. “Is that so? Your face tells me you’re quite interested.”
