Chapter 337 Love Him With Her Heart And Soul


    Carlos suddenly remembered the moment he finally regained consciousness after being in aa for


    so long. All of the people around him told him that he had gotten involved in a tragic car ident and


    had been in a vegetative state for over two years. And they also let him know that Stephanie, his


    childhood friend, was the one who had been staying right by his side and taking care of him in those


    two years.


    James had told him about how he and Stephanie had been deeply in love with each other, and given


    that he had already woken up, he should then be responsible for her.


    From that moment onwards, Stephanie had started reducing the workload she had and devoted most


    of her time to looking after him as his girlfriend. Regarding the issue of whether he truly loved


    Stephanie or not, for some reason, it had never really crossed his mind.


    There would be times where deep down his heart, he would feel that she wasn''t the woman he longed


    to be with. And it was not like he hated her or anything. In fact, it was quite the opposite. He never


    really felt sick of her. Because if that had been the case, then there was no way they could''ve stayed


    friends since childhood.


    He would always tend to reflect about who on earth could the woman he desired possibly be. Where


    could he find her? What was going on with her life? To be precise, he had second thoughts whether


    such a woman even existed in the first ce. It was also possible that he was just getting so worked up


    over nothing.


    Debbie was so pleased to see how Carlos had been at such a loss for words after hearing her


    question. Were he to have tly answered that he loved Stephanie, then she probably would have


    been left with no choice but to give up on trying to win him back. But fortunately, he didn''t say anything


    like that. He had been reluctant to give her an answer for about two minutes now, and still, she was yet


    to receive any response out of him. That period of silence helped her keep her hopes up.


    Debbie''s eyes became bloodshot and began welling up with tears. Leaning over and resting her cheek


    over his shoulder, she told him, "Mr. Handsome, I know you won''t fall in love with her, because you


    promised me that you would love me for the rest of your life. And even though you might be suffering


    from memory loss at this moment, I can feel that I''m still there somewhere deep inside your heart. After


    all, I''m the one you love the most..." It should go without saying that she loved him just as much.


    Despite the fact that she had been deceived into thinking that he was already dead, the love she had


    for him never faltered one bit even after the past three years.


    As time passed by, the love she had been keeping within never faded away, and rather, it actually even


    became much stronger than it ever was. She sincerely loved Carlos with her heart and soul.


    Pursing his lips intensely, Carlos had been so astounded by the way her words kindled his heart. He


    had been so deeply moved.


    At that moment, he realized that she might''ve been telling the truth when she said that they had been


    so in love with each other in the past.


    The car then pulled over close to one of the most well-known ces in Z Country, always brimming


    with activity due to its breathtaking views. And as soon as Carlos made sure that the car was locked,


    Debbie went closer to him, hooking her arms around his.


    He tried to refuse her, but Debbie wasn''t budging at all, not wanting to take no for an answer. "Back


    when we were still together, every time we would argue about something, I wouldn''t let you touch me


    but you still wouldn''t listen. There were even times where you just went ahead and hugged me and


    kissed me. And right now, all I''m doing is holding onto your arm. I''m not asking for a lot. So, please let


    me do at least this much," she asked him earnestly.


    "We should keep a safe distance between us," he said coldly.


    ''Keep a distance?'' Having a bit of a hard time believing what he just said, Debbie furrowed her


    eyebrows a little. ''You''ve already asked me out. Why should there be a need for us to keep some


    distance?''


    "The truth is that we have never really visited Z Country together before. I actually enjoyed going on


    trips back then, but sadly, you''ve always had your hands full with lots of other things. At one point, you


    nned a trip to Maldives with just the two of us, but we got in a fight so the trip had to be cancelled.


    Later after that, I had to go to Ennd, and we lost any opportunities to go traveling..."


    As they took a stroll by theke, Debbie gave him an ount of all the things that happened in the past


    before the ident. The handsome man was attracting a couple of stares from the women they passed


    by. Be that as it may, as soon as they saw the woman walking right beside him and holding his arm,


    they got frustrated and lost any interest they might have had in trying to approach him.


    "Ennd? What business did you have there?" Carlos asked, giving her a baffled look.


    A smile crept onto Debbie''s face. She began to reminisce about all those memorable moments that


    they had been through as if it were just yesterday. "If I may say so, you''ve treated me quite well back


    then. In all honesty, you did all of that for my sake. That''s what pushes me to keep going after you right


    now. Would you believe that you even wanted me to stop practicing taekwondo, saying that you would


    be the one who would protect me? You had me learn how to dance, practice yoga, and you were the


    one who personally taught me how to speak English. You had everythingid out for me and had me all


    set to study abroad. But for a number of different reasons, I had to go to Ennd and study there


    before the intended schedule you had arranged."


    Carlos didn''t feel a hint of doubt as he listened to this bit of her story. All the things that wereing


    out of her mouth sounded and felt so very real. Everything seemed to be makingplete sense that


    there was no way she could have just been making things up.


    "Oh, right!" Something came to her mind, so Debbie suddenly stopped in her tracks. Peering straight


    into his eyes, she intently said, "There was something I forgot to tell you. As a matter of fact, I''m


    actually your ex-wife."


    ''Ex-wife?'' Carlos was caughtpletely off-guard; a trace of astonishment visibly glimmered through


    his deep eyes. All this while, he had been wondering what his rtionship with Debbie could have


    really been. He had an idea that they might''ve been dating in the past or maybe they used to live


    together as lovers. But he never would''ve thought that they had ever gotten married at all.


    "Are you interested in finding out the reason why we had to get divorced?" she frankly asked.


    Without dy, Carlos nodded his head along. Indeed, his curiosity got piqued even more.


    With a bit of yful look in her eyes, she teased him, "If you give me a kiss, I will dly tell you all


    about it!"


    All Carlos could do was roll his eyes at her as he felt so irritated. Rather than kiss her as she


    requested, he tugged his arm away from her grasp and walked ahead of her.


    Looking at her empty hand, Debbie felt a tinge of pain in her heart. But she was able to instantly shake


    away the heartache and scurried to catch up with him. Swiftly getting a hold of his hand once more, she


    told him, "Alright, alright. That was just a joke. Please don''t get upset."

    Carlos red at her with his eyebrows deeply knitted. And in a somber tone, he gave her a warning,


    "Until I regain my memories, it would be best for you to get your act together."


    "Gotcha! I understand how you feel, but Mr. Huo, you shouldn''t be so harsh with me. You might end up


    scaring your lovely ex-wife away. Once before, you told that if I were to leave and go somece far


    away, you wouldn''t be able to find someone as charming as me no matter how hard you looked,"


    Debbie remarked while swinging his arm around, like such a spoiled girlfriend.


    The way she was being so intrepid and daring made Carlos wonder whether he had truly been treating


    Debbie like she was his queen in the past. Any person around him would be scared to death once they


    saw him starting to get upset. But she wasn''t like that in any way. The look on her face was telling him


    that she wasn''t afraid of him at all.


    Prior to telling him what caused them to get a divorce, Debbie had to ask him one vital piece of


    information. "Tell me. How are you... getting along with your dad now?"


    ''How am I getting along with my dad? Why would she be interested in that?'' Carlos was a bit perplexed


    after being asked such a weird question out of the blue. But in spite of that, he still gave her a


    straightforward answer. "We''ve been on good terms from the moment I regained consciousness."


    ''The two of them are actually on good terms right now?'' Debbie wasn''t really expecting to hear


    something like that. But she immediately realized that James might have done a good job acting like


    such a good father in front of Carlos while he suffered from an amnesia.


    If that was how things had been recently, she knew that right now probably wouldn''t be the best time to


    unveil the truth to him. "The main cause of our divorce was that a bad guy actually got me backed into


    a corner and pressured me into doing it while you were still in aa. And because he knew my


    weakness, he got in the palm of his hands... I have one big weakness...and it''s something I hold quite


    dear, so I had been left with no choice but to make a deal with him. After that, the bad guy informed me


    that you didn''t make it. That shattered my heart into a million pieces, and I even went to your supposed


    ''funeral.''" A contemptuous smile slithered onto her face as she recalled that so-called funeral. She


    couldn''t stop herself and ended up asking, "Was I really that foolish? It''s just now that I realize how


    foolish I had been back then. I was the most stupid person in the world. He managed to deceive me."


    "And who might that guy be?" Carlos'' heart began pounding quite hard the moment he came up with a


    possible answer.


    Debbie didn''t have it in her to tell him the bad guy was James, because in his eyes, James had been


    such a good father to him now after the ident. If she said something that could displease him,


    Carlos might take it the wrong way and think that she intended to drive a wedge between the father and


    son. For that reason, she just casually said, "For now, it doesn''t really matter who that guy is. It


    wouldn''t make a difference if you find out about it or not. I''ll just tell you some other time."


    Given that it seemed as though she really had no intentions of spilling the beans, Carlos decided to just


    let it go for the time being. That being said, he asked her a different question, "So what was that


    weakness you mentioned?"


    "I was..." ''No, no. that''s not right. I shouldn''t be telling him anything about that now. If Carlos doesn''t get


    his memory back and finds out that Piggy is actually his daughter, we will probably end up having a


    battle for her custody. What am I going to do if that happens?'' Debbie panicked, feeling so anxious.


    "Why are you suddenly so hesitant to give me an answer?" Carlos had his keen eyes deeply fixated on


    her face, looking closely at every little shift in her expression.


    "No, it''s not like that. I''m just worried because you''re suffering from memory loss right now. So, you


    might have a hard time taking all of this information in. Once you finally get better, I''m going to tell you


    all about the truth. Alright? I promise you, I won''t be keeping anything from you by then! Okay?"


    Loosening her grip, Debbie intently looked right into his eyes.


    Recognizing the sincerity and truthfulness written in her eyes, Carlos decided to just let go of the topic


    for now and simply continued walking forward.
