Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime-Chapter 769 - : The Source of Pain_1

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: The Source of Pain_1

Atra Blanc was startled, “Purple? What happened to you?”

Purple Summers closed her eyes and gently shook her head, “I’m fine…”

“Did you two have a fight?” Atra Blanc appeared helpless, anxiously looking at Purple Summers, “Did your brother scold you? Bully you?”

Purple Summers was still sobbing as she shook her head.

She would rather he scolded her, bullied her, so that she could hate him and resent him openly!

Knowing that he had ruined her marriage, her life, that he had done all sorts of wicked things for his own selfish desires, treated her like a doll to maneuver, yet she couldn’t bring herself to hate him! She had even fallen in love with him!

...

The source of her pain was her love for him!

Her heart felt as if it was being ground upon a blunt knife, the flesh worn ragged and bleeding incessantly, like a masochist trapped in a torturous nightmare!

At night, a light snow began to fall, silently drifting down.

The street corner light was old, and under its dim yellow glow, the graceful snowflakes danced, like fairies descending to the mortal world.

Alexander Summers’s car was parked in the shadow behind the light, blending into the darkness.

Before long, someone approached from a distance, their footsteps making a faint sound as they trod on the freshly fallen thin snow.

“It’s Miss Lily Howard,” Zack Wallace whispered.

The hidden gun was withdrawn.

Lily Howard looked around the street, front and back, nobody in sight. She lightly brushed the snowflakes off her shoulder and quickly stepped into the car.

“Is it him?” Alexander Summers asked her.

Lily Howard exhaled, nodding her head, “I’ve tested him several times, it should be my brother, no mistake. Though he’s lost his memory, many of his living habits remain ingrained in his body, which is very difficult to impersonate.”

Zack Wallace couldn’t help but say, “Miss Howard, please be absolutely sure, this is related to the future of the Howard Family! Master Xander is willing to compromise because of the thirteenth young master’s past kindness, but if someone is muddying the waters, that would be utterly disgusting!”

After previous incidents of possessions, they had to be this cautious.

“It is really my brother!” Lily Howard explained, “My brother hates wearing anything around his neck or wrist, I deliberately gave him a watch yesterday, he wouldn’t wear it, didn’t even try it once. Also, his habit of arranging bullets when taking apart a gun remains the same. When he was diagnosed as vegetative, the doctor also said there was hope for him to wake up, you all don’t have to be so suspicious.”

She was very frustrated, let out a sigh of vexation after speaking, “It’s really troublesome, why would he lose his memory? He doesn’t even recognize me now.”

Damian Howard’s awakening should have been a joy for them, but the amnesia immediately erected barriers and mistrust, even intentions of murder.

Alexander Summers could understand, if the person who had lost their memory was him, and upon regaining consciousness, he found that his position had been taken by someone claiming to be a good brother, he would also harbor suspicion, it’s only human nature, furthermore, Damian Howard was not of a particularly kind nature, and was even more suspicious by default!

If Damian Howard believed whatever other people said, that wouldn’t be him.

“Everything that should be returned to him, won’t be short.” Alexander Summers said indifferently.

“I believe you, but my brother is mad, he doesn’t trust you.” Lily Howard was distressed, caught between the two, “The few uncles who came today talked about setting up some ‘retirees meeting’ for you, as if to honorably retire you and let my brother officially take over as the family head. Ah, I feel it’s like setting a trap at the feast! You mustn’t go when the time comes!”

Alexander Summers wanted to peacefully retreat in one piece, but the Howard Family didn’t wish to let him go, because he knew too much about the Howard Family, and was too capable! Letting go of someone who was so familiar with them and so capable was like freeing a future great threat!

Alexander Summers understood this as well, so he had no complaints; if their roles were reversed, he would’ve done the same, eliminating the roots to avoid future troubles.

“Thanks, Lily,” Alexander Summers said his thanks.

“What’s there to thank for?” Lily Howard gave a rueful smile, “I’m doing this also for my brother’s sake. What if he regains his memory later and is filled with regret?”

Alexander laughed softly, murmuring to himself, “Maybe he hasn’t forgotten, he just sees no need to remember…”
