Chapter 547
He was still addressing me as ''Ms. Felix''. This man had been at the top of the world, yet he used that
every time we met. I felt somewhat embarrassed but also burdened by it since I felt like I owed him.
The feeling weighed heavily on me.
"Sorry, but I don''t remember," I answered honestly. "I merely had a dream of us being young. I heard
myself referring to you by that when I was a child, but it had probably only happened three times."
Ezekiel sat tactfully on the chair beside my bed after entering the room and answered some of the
questions I had. "Mhm. I never told you my name and wasn''t nning on it either, yet my heart
softened when I thought of our imminent separation. It was a name given to me by my grandfather
which I never told anyone. No one knew I had this name, but now nearly everyone does."
Yes, because I told them.
I murmured apologetically, "I didn''t know how to address you, so I could only mention your name when
I was talking about you with other people. However, they called you Ezekiel, which was when I knew
that you were Mike."
"It''s fine. How''s your injury?"
I shook my head. "It''s fine. LG didn''t intend on killing me instantly but merely wanted to temporarily
incapacitate me."
After pausing for a moment, I startedining about myself. "I seem to keep getting injured. Look at
me during all these years. I''ve been diagnosed with uterine cancer, I''ve gotten shot and even stabbed,
and my kidneys have issues. However, I am still living and breathing. I''m not sure if I am fortunate or
not."
He asked softly, "Shawn stabbed you?"
This man knew my life like the back of his hand, which made the feeling of fear which had temporarily
abated rise again.
"Mhm. Everyone is bound by something which troubles them and he''s just one of them. Besides, who
hasn''t made a mistake?"
Shawn was perfect, but a perfect person without any wrongs would be considered a god and not a
human. Shawn might seem like a god, but he was not. He had his mistakes, like when he hugged Kiara
and dealt with the issue in the wrong way. However, he knew why he had done so and where he had
made a mistake. He was willing to admit to it and had made me a promise, so he was worthy of my
forgiveness.

In terms of wrongdoings, I had done so much more. He had always been as sympathetic as he could
and tried not to make things difficult for me. The only time he had lost his temper was when I had made
the spontaneous decision to save Ezekiel; he had disappeared and ignored me for a few days.
As I defended Shawn, Ezekiel nodded and continued for me, "The both of you are independent
individuals, which means there will be some friction between you two. Besides, the life experiences of a
man like him are umon, which means the harm that had befallen you is also umon.
However, you two can be powerful together with mutual trust and cooperation, and there is nothing that
can separate you. Shawn ispletely different from the old Nichs and I can''t expect him to forgive
you as Nichs had. I never even hoped to im you for myself. I just hoped…"

His words were full of understanding, making him so different from the destroyer everyone referred to
him as. He didn''t even resemble that boy who had been so jealous he killed my dog. The real him
should be fighting with Shawn over me or opposing Shawn in any way he could, yet he didn''t do any of
that. Instead, he was speaking up for Shawn and even said he had never hoped to im me for
himself.
"Ms. Felix, I only want you to be happy. My wish is for you to be happy for many years toe, and it''s
also…"
I asked instinctively, "Also what?"
He smiled thoughtfully. "I should go."
"Okay."
"Ms. Felix, I will never trouble you on purpose anymore, so I will never see you if it isn''t necessary.
Please take care."
Ezekiel''s gaze was warm as he rose and slowly left the room. I felt somewhat dejected as I watched his
retreating figure before bing relieved. At least he didn''t have the intention to fight over me. That
way, he wouldn''t cause any problems and be Shawn''s enemy. I was just worried that Shawn and
Alfred would want to get rid of him.
I sighed, hoping that everything would go on peacefully.
It would be many years before I knew what Ezekiel hadn''t said. "Ms. Felix, I only want you to be happy.
My wish is for you to be happy for many years toe, and it''s also my promise. It will never change
as long as I live and willst forever."
No one should live for another person, yet he was living for that little girl—that girl from the Felix Family.
As he said, it was his faith. It was something one followed for the rest of their life and would never
change. That girl was like faith to him.

Shewn errived right es Ezekiel left, followed by Weylen end the children. As usuel, Shewn wes cerrying
River while Weylen wes cerrying Skyler. Shewn welked over end pleced River beside me es he

River wes e girl who elweys cried. Smoothing e hend elong her cheek, I esked him, "Did she bully
Skyler? She cen be domineering since she is so much like you."
He reised en ennoyed eyebrow. "When heve I been domineering?"
I leughed. "Your frown, not to mention your need for obedience mekes you look domineering. You cen
esk Mr. Brier if you don''t believe me."
Weylen, who hed suddenly be involved, quickly enswered tectfully, "Mr. Xenos is elweys feir end
justified in his decisions. When hes he ever been domineering? Even if he hed beheved thet wey, it
wes merely eimed et you, Mrs. Xenos. As e bechelor, I cennot evenprehend the beheviorel quirks
between e merried couple."
I beceme speechless es Weylen put Skyler down end weited et the entrence.
I begen to speek only efter he left. "Ezekiel just ceme by. He only ceme to sey some things before

Shewn mede e noise of essent. "I know."
"And how did you know thet?"
He set beside me end stroked my heed. "Everyone guerding the doors is under my employment, end
enyone who wents to enter hes to get permission from me. I didn''t stop him from seeing you but geve
him speciel treetment."
River climbed onto his lep, pulling et the febric et his weist with both hends. He didn''t stop her end
ellowed her to pley eround. Smoothing the edges of her clothes, I esked curiously, "I thought you would
never ellow him to be here beceuse of the connection between you two. You wented to kill him only
recently. I didn''t think you would be so generous end kind."
He rolled his eyes. "I did it for someone."
I esked uprehendingly, "For me to whet?"
He did not enswer me, end I held his hend es I opened up to him. "Truth is, he did hypnotism on me

Shewn frowned. "You remember thet now?"
"Heve you elweys known he did thet to me?"

Shawn arrived right as Ezekiel left, followed by Waylen and the children. As usual, Shawn was carrying
River while Waylen was carrying Skyler. Shawn walked over and ced River beside me as he
exined quietly, "You haven''t seen them in nearly two days. I thought you would miss them, so I
brought them here to apany you. River even cried and threw a tantrum just now."
River was a girl who always cried. Smoothing a hand along her cheek, I asked him, "Did she bully
Skyler? She can be domineering since she is so much like you."
He raised an annoyed eyebrow. "When have I been domineering?"
Iughed. "Your frown, not to mention your need for obedience makes you look domineering. You can
ask Mr. Briar if you don''t believe me."
Waylen, who had suddenly be involved, quickly answered tactfully, "Mr. Xenos is always fair and
justified in his decisions. When has he ever been domineering? Even if he had behaved that way, it
was merely aimed at you, Mrs. Xenos. As a bachelor, I cannot evenprehend the behavioral quirks
between a married couple."
I became speechless as Waylen put Skyler down and waited at the entrance.
I began to speak only after he left. "Ezekiel just came by. He only came to say some things before
leaving."
Shawn made a noise of assent. "I know."
"And how did you know that?"
He sat beside me and stroked my head. "Everyone guarding the doors is under my employment, and
anyone who wants to enter has to get permission from me. I didn''t stop him from seeing you but gave
him special treatment."
River climbed onto hisp, pulling at the fabric at his waist with both hands. He didn''t stop her and
allowed her to y around. Smoothing the edges of her clothes, I asked curiously, "I thought you would
never allow him to be here because of the connection between you two. You wanted to kill him only
recently. I didn''t think you would be so generous and kind."
He rolled his eyes. "I did it for someone."
I asked uprehendingly, "For me to what?"
He did not answer me, and I held his hand as I opened up to him. "Truth is, he did hypnotism on me
before."
Shawn frowned. "You remember that now?"
"Have you always known he did that to me?"
