A Love Forgotten Novel by Webfic

To be fair, Logan wasn’t related to me. It was good enough that he had already done this much for me. Perhaps he only helped me for my family’s and brother’s sake.

With those thoughts in my mind, I shook off my unrealistic hopes.

The check–up results came out decent, and I showed signs of slightly reduced swelling in my brain. As for why I vomited last night, it was due to my post–concussion syndrome.

I picked up the health report and no longer felt a weight on my shoulders. I was still young, after all. I didn’t want to die this soon.

I didn’t know what gave me the impulse to jump off a building before I’d lost my memory. But if I could do it again, I would drag that scummy Elijah down with me!

“The doctor says you’re fine, so why are you causing such a fuss, Ariana?” Elijah’s dreaded voice that plagued me rang out again.

I frowned when I saw him. He approached me with broad strides, and chills tingled my scalp as ! instinctively hid behind Frank.

Frank defensively stood before me with the utmost dissatisfaction. He said, “Mr. Linden, the doctor says Ms. York is fine for now. But he didn’t say that she’s completely healthy. So, please refrain from triggering her any further.”

Elijah sneered. “I admit you’ve gotten quite far with your temper tantrum this time, Ariana. Jocelyn plans. on leaving now, so you must be pleased.”

Jocelyn? Jocelyn, again?

My expression soured. “What does her leaving have to do with me? Quit blaming me for everything, Elijah! I won’t take the blame for this.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Elijah snorted. “Didn’t you aim to force her away? You’ve achieved your goal now, so shouldn’t you be happy?”

That infuriated me, and I scoffed. “Is this even the first time Jocelyn’s leaving you? If she truly loved you,

wouldn’t have left you back then.”

Upon hearing this, Elijah stiffened from head to toe.

Surprisingly, he didn’t refute me with his silver tongue.

I hated saying things without having or knowing the full picture. But even so, I couldn’t stand seeing Elijah act like a know–it–all when, in reality, he had a concerning intelligence level too.

I didn’t recall why Jocelyn left Elijah in the past. Yet, according to what Teri described, Jocelyn could have married Elijah if she wanted to. But Jocelyn determinedly chose to further her studies abroad.

Anyone with good judgment would know Jocelyn valued her studies and future in her heart. Elijah could never compare to those things. After all, who would break up with someone they loved deeply over being long–distance?

There was a saying that love would prevail despite whatever obstacles stood in the way.

In that case, it could ultimately mean that couples who break up just don’t love each other enough.

Elijah was dumbstruck by my words. He stood frozen and unable to say a word.

I tugged at Frank’s arm. “We can leave now.

Frank shot the dazed Elijah a glance before coldly stating, “Please let us through, Mr. Linden.”

Only then out of his daze. His gaze darkened as he blocked our path. “You can’t go, Ariana.”

I suppressed my rage and asked, “What do you want?”

“Come home with me,” he instructed. It wasn’t a request, but instead, a command.

Still, I sneered. “I won’t return with you.

Elijah scoffed like he had heard a joke. “I won’t hold it against you because I know you’re still upset. I’ll give you three days. You have three days to be a good girl and come home.”

I questioned, “What will I do after I go home? Be the wife you loathe? Then, are we going to argue and make a joke of ourselves in front of others every day?”

Elijah was stumped by my words again.

After what felt like ages, he forced himself to say, “We don’t have to fight. As long as you stop your tantrum, we can still-”

I sneered. “Still what? Still be a loving couple in the eyes of others? Let me make this clear to you, Elijah–i refuse to be your wife. I’m unqualified to, I’m tired, and I’ve given up. Alright?”

Elijah’s expression turned a ghastly, pale shade. “Ariana…”

At that point, I didn’t want to waste my breath on him anymore.
