Chapter 302
Chapter 302
There were two men standing outside the door. The one standing at the front was Howard, and behind him was Jimmy. Jimmy was wearing a black jacket, and his short hair was stiff. With his dark eyes, he looked into Ariah's eyes.
In fact, Jimmy and Ariah hadn't seen each other for two months already. This woman's face was ruddy, and it seemed that she took good care of herself when he was away.
After a while, Ariah came to her senses, and in the next second, her face darkened as she looked at Howard and scolded, "Hey Howard, didn't I tell you to come here alone?"
Half an hour ago, Ariah texted Howard, saying that Stanley was here and wanted him to come over. However, she did not expect him to bring along that sc*m, Jimmy.
In fact, Howard was aware that both Ariah and Jimmy were getting a divorce as she had discovered Jimmy's relationship with another woman. Although it was Jimmy's fault to deceive Ariah, Howard decided to stay on his side as Jimmy was his childhood friend after all. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Avoiding Ariah's murderous gaze, Howard felt a little embarrassed. "I met him on my way here, so I brought him along with me. Also, Stanley is Jimmy's friend, so there's nothing wrong if he wants to visit him. So, please don't blame me. Later, you can settle your problem with him in private."
As soon as he finished explaining, Howard quickly slipped away.
When he came to the living room, he saw Stanley right away.
Last time, he was not able to meet Stanley in Allgate City.
This time, he finally met him.
Although Stanley was right in front of him, Howard could tell at a glance that he didn't recognize him at all.
The way Stanley looked at him was like he was looking at a stranger.
Seeing that, Howard sighed and sat beside the two children. "Seamus and Sadie, why don't you call me uncle?"
Meanwhile, at the door, Jimmy and Ariah stared at each other, not wanting to give way. Seeing that, Sharon had no choice but to step forward, trying to be a mediator, "Ariah, why don't we invite Jimmy to come in and sit for a while?"
Immediately, Ariah sneered, "Sharon, can you leave us alone? You don't have to worry about us."
Ariah had always been assertive and would not change her mind easily. So, at this moment, Sharon didn't know what to say.
In the meantime, Jimmy was leaning against the door, narrowing his eyes. Then, he said, "During these years after we get married, you're slowly getting used to being aggressive, huh? And now, you even start to act like this in your friend's house?"
Jimmy's words stimulated Ariah, making her get angry even more. The next second, she stared at him coldly, "Of course I can't compare to your mistress. After all, she is the only one who can make you feel comfortable, isn't she?"
Jimmy's face darkened as soon as he heard her ironic words. So, he blurted out, "Of course you are no match for her. She's gentle and adorable. You're nowhere near as good as her."
Instantly, Ariah's face turned pale.
Seeing that, Sharon frowned and quickly pulled Ariah away from the door. Then, she glared at Jimmy, "Jimmy, that's so rude of you."
No matter how bad Ariah was to him, he should at least respect her. How could he tell Ariah that she was no match for his mistress?
At the thought of that, Sharon quickly comforted Ariah. After a long while of silence, Ariah turned her head and looked at Sharon again with a smile, "Since you have a guest, I won't disturb you anymore."
Knowing that she definitely did not want to stay here anymore, Sharon did not force her to stay. So, she nodded and said, "Be careful on your way home."
Ariah only gave a vague reply before she left, ignoring Jimmy as if he was nothing to her.
Meanwhile, Jimmy's face darkened as he stared at Ariah from behind.
"She's already in the elevator. Jimmy, what are you looking at?" Sharon asked. "Why don't you just let Ariah be? Since you know she is an emotional person, why did you insult her like that?"
At this time, Jimmy was in a bad mood as well, so he ignored Sharon by asking, "Where's Stanley? On our way here, Howard told me he has lost his memory. Is that true?"
Hearing that, Sharon only answered him with a 'Yes'.
Jimmy frowned upon getting the confirmation from Sharon. In fact, Howard had already informed him that Stanley had been found last week. At that time, he should have rushed over to have a look at him, but there were some things that he had to attend to, so that was why he was only able to meet him today.
"Is he inside?" Jimmy pointed at the living room.
Sharon nodded, and replied after thinking for a moment, "He doesn't remember anything at all now. He has forgotten all of us."
"Okay, I got it."
Jimmy nodded and went straight to the living room.
Meanwhile, in the living room, Howard was having a conversation with Stanley. When he saw Jimmy approaching, he looked at him, shaking his head, and immediately, Jimmy's heart sank.
Jimmy cleared his throat before coming to the front of Stanley. As an officer, he was used to questioning something suspicious. So, he asked, "Stanley, you have disappeared for four years. Is it because you have lost your memory?"
Seeing the people surrounding him, Stanley was getting impatient as they kept asking him if he had really lost his memory repeatedly, making him feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, Jimmy noticed Stanley's impatient expression as well. Although he didn't show it, he was not happy about being interrogated. Not only that, Jimmy realized that although Stanley had lost his memory, he had the same personality as before.
"Howard!" Jimmy suddenly called out. Immediately, Howard rushed over. "What's the matter?"
"You are a doctor. Can you tell us the reason Stanley loses his memory?"
"Yes, I'm a doctor, but I still need Stanley to go to the hospital with me for a checkup. Only then, I can find out the reason."
In fact, Howard and Jimmy were trying to persuade Stanley to go to the hospital with them so that they could think of a way to treat his amnesia.
However, Stanley was smart, so he smiled cunningly. "I have seen countless doctors from all over the world, but I ended up getting the same results. They couldn't identify any problem as I am healthy and my brain is functioning normally. My only problem is that I can't recall the past."
Hearing what he said, Sharon was stunned for a moment. He had seen countless doctors?
Since he had seen many doctors, it meant that he wanted to remember the past, but why did he tell her he didn't want to recall anything from the past?
Meanwhile, Howard circled Stanley and mumbled, "If everything is normal, why can't you remember anything?"
Annoyed by Howard, Stanley stood up with a poker face and was about to leave. "I still have something to do tonight, and it's getting late now. We can have a chat another time."
After he finished his words, he was about to leave.
Just then, Sadie suddenly wrapped her hands around Stanley's thigh. "Dad, didn't you say that you will stay with me?"
Realizing that he almost forgot about Sadie, Stanley sighed before touching her face and said, "I really don't have time today. I'll come and see you next time when I'm free, okay?"
Initially, Sadie didn't want to let go of him, but as soon as she saw his serious expression, she pouted her mouth and obediently let go of him. "Dad, you have to keep your word."
"I promise that I will keep my word."
"Goodbye, daddy."
"Goodbye."
After that, Stanley turned to leave. As he passed by Sharon, he was about to say something. However, he changed his mind when he saw Sharon's indifferent look as if she couldn't care less...
So, with a darkened face, he didn't linger any longer and strode toward the door.
However, as soon as he had just arrived at the door, everything in front of his eyes went black all of a sudden, and in the next second, he fainted and fell down uncontrollably before he could say a word...
