Chapter 457


    Right now, Matthias hadpletely lost hisposure and confidence. He was no longer his usual


    self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get


    away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.


    “Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man,


    yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.


    “No. There is no winning or losing when ites to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently.


    Recalling her previous rtionship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.


    Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather.


    With mixed feelings, Heather felt ufortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old


    her in his eyes.


    “You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease


    the tension.


    At this time, no matter what she said, Matthias would not care much. In the past, he certainly could not


    stand such words from her.


    “Yes, all these years, I pretended to be strong, but in fact, I am a coward.” Matthias seemed to have


    changed back to a past version of himself, who was timider.


    Looking at this side of Matthias, Heather even felt some shame in her heart. During that year, it was


    indeed wrong of her to have treated him like that. When she thought about it, she was the one who had


    killed him with her own hands, so she hugged him tightly, as if to convey the guilt.


    “Don’t talk about yourself like that. You’re already strong.” Like a gentle sister, sheforted him.


    Previously, Heather could not understand that kind of weak mentality, but now, she seemed to


    understand some of it. Sometimes, she herself was weak too. Revealing an ironic smile, she thought to


    herself that, if she could turn back time, she would not make that kind of decision. Now, nothing could


    be changed back to what it once was.


    “I’m still frustrated about why she could not remember me.” This was a persistent issue in Matthias’


    heart, and perhaps if it was resolved, he would not be in so much pain.


    “You are concerned about the fact that Myra can’t remember you?” Heather asked tentatively. If it was


    because of this, then it would not be easy to deal with.


    At least in such a short period of time, it was impossible to unravel the problem of Myra’s memory;


    even Heather did not know why Myra had forgotten Matthias, so she was afraid that it would be difficult


    for anyone to know the reason for it.


    With that, there was no way to find out the reason behind Myra’s loss of memory at this time.


    Nevertheless, Myra and Tony’s wedding was imminent, while Matthias was anxious for an answer, so it


    was a time of contradictions.


    In short, Heather could not think of a better way to solve this. She had tofort him as well, so it was


    a rather uncertain time for her.


    “If she can tell me that she no longer loves me and that the past is in the past, I might be able to let go.”


    Matthias really longed for a clear answer, rather than Myra’splete loss of memory of him.


    He had told himself countless times that Myra had long forgotten about their previous rtionship, so


    he should not be so insistent about those memories created when he was younger. But asionally, it


    still popped into his head that Myra might have forgotten him because of some external reason, and


    perhaps when she recovered that memory, the whole situation would be very different.


    However, the second possibility was improbable; besides, even if Myra remembered the rtionship


    they had when she was young, it would hardly affect her current feelings for Tony.


    After all, Myra was not one to give up on her current long-term rtionship for a past one. Although


    Matthias knew this, reason always escaped him.


    Time and time again, he had tortured himself, but he still could not be freed from it. That rtionship he


    had with Myra had be an obsession, and with such an obsession in one’s heart, it was a happy


    yet terrible thing.


    “Myra is pregnant, so many tests cannot be done,” Heather rather hesitantly said. She felt that she


    should be clear with Matthias because she was really afraid that he would do something bad.


    However, Matthias looked at her in confusion as he didn’t understand what she meant. So, Heather


    had no choice but to continue, “I once suspected that there was a problem with Myra’s memory, so I


    deliberately took her to the hospital for tests. However, the doctor could not make a sound judgment


    because she’s pregnant, so he couldn’t conduct many required tests.”


    Heather carefully exined to Matthias so that he could understand.


    “You suspect she has problems with her mind?” Matthias asked, pointing to his own head.


    “That’s pretty much what it means.” Heather inexplicably felt a pang of guilt because Myra had been


    losing memory of Matthias little by little.


    At that time, Heather was around Myra, and when she discovered thetter was behaving abnormally,


    she went along with it. She wanted Myra topletely forget Matthias, so naturally, she did not help


    Myra to remember him. If she had, perhaps Myra would still remember him.


    Nevertheless, the responsibility was not all on her because it was a sudden situation for Myra to forget


    Matthias, so even if Heather had any intention to help her, the effect might not have been great.


    After all, at that time, the doctor had also made a lot of efforts, but in the end, nothing worked. All they


    could do was only to watch Myrapletely forget Matthias.


    After being discharged from the hospital, Myra never mentioned Matthias again, and at that time, it was


    good news for Heather.


    In fact, she did not feel any guilt during that time. But now when she recalled it, she couldn’t help but


    shoulder the me and feel guilty about it. At that, she became quite confused.


    “You mean we should wait until Myra has given birth in order for her to be thoroughly examined. Only


    then the doctor can prescribe the right solution.” Matthias stared at her; he was reluctant and was even


    more upset when he heard this.


    “Yes.” Heather and Matthias stared at each other. The former felt that this version of Matthias gave her

    the chills.


    “But before we can do that, Myra is about to get married to Tony, so even if sheter remembers


    everythingter on, she will not have anything more to do with me,” Matthias said reluctantly as he


    really could not give her up. In his opinion, Myra was his woman.


    “Even if Myra now remembered everything, she would not have anything to do with you either. As a


    bystander, I am very certain that Myra really loves Tony, who of course also deeply loves her. The


    feelings between them is true love. Think carefully and tell me—back then, was that puppy love


    between you and Myra really true love?” Heather hoped Matthias could calmly think about it. Perhaps


    there were certain ws in their rtionship that had caused him to hold onto it for such a long time.


    At that time, Myra and Matthias did have feelings for each other, but that did not necessarily mean


    anything. Anyway, feelings had to develop until a certain stage to be called love.


    If they had really gotten together naturally, nobody knew whether they would be separatedter, and


    what would have happened down the road. Hence, Heather wanted Matthias to try to think about it


    properly. Perhaps in his mind, everything from the past had been beautified too much. After all, they


    were forced to separate from each other during the infatuation period.


    Most people would remember such a rtionship, let alone one’s first love. Myra and Matthias were


    also considered to be each other’s first love. They did not make their feelings known to each other, but


    they did pour their sincere feelings into the rtionship.


    Hearing this, Matthias’ expression changed a little. With a stony look, he stared at Heather. It was really


    bold of her to say something like that at a time like this.


    “What you mean is that Myra and I have no future at all, right? You’re saying that the rtionship


    between Myra and me back then was insignificant, and that Myra and Tony’s rtionship is true love.”


    Matthias’ icy voice caused rm bells to ring in Heather’s mind.


    Solemnly nodding under his re, Heather answered, “Why deceive yourself and others? Myra did not


    fall in love with you back then, and now, it’s even clearer that she won’t have any kind of rtionship


    with you.” Heather really couldn’t bear to see Matthias continue with this self-loathing, so it was better


    to coldly shove the cruel reality in his face.


    Heather’s wordspletely enraged Matthias, and reason gradually left the emotionally unstable man.


    He stood up and looked down at Heather from a high position with a look that chilled her to the core.


    “Are you mocking me?” he asked slowly.


    “I’m not. I only hope you can ept the reality since I understand Myra better than you do,” Heather


    shot back.


    “If it weren’t for you, Myra and I wouldn’t have been forced to separate in the first ce. Perhaps she


    and I would have gotten married long ago and would even have a child now.” Matthias began to me


    Heather, thinking that if she hadn’t interfered in the first ce, things wouldn’t have ended up this way.


    “There is no ‘if’.” Heather’s words were like a dagger fiercely stabbing into Matthias’ chest. She


    continued, “Back then, you two couldn’t even make it out of my level of hindrance together, so how do


    you think you’re qualified to imagine a future with Myra?” Heather was determined to no longer go


    along with Matthias. In fact, she had to make him understand that arge part of the reason for what


    happened back then was because he was not strong enough.


    “So, all the fault is mine. It was because I was too cowardly that I lost Myra.” Matthias pointed at


    himself and spoke, his smile bing more and more ruthless.


    “Yes. Every rtionship has to go through various tests, and I was just one part of the test of your


    rtionship. You didn’t pass that test, so you were out. It makes perfect sense.” Heather’s face was


    cold and heartless; she wanted to make Matthias understand that what was lost was lost forever, and


    there was no useining about it.


    “Very well. I see that you are unapologetic by pushing the me onto others.” Now, Matthias had


    transferred all the anger onto Heather, thinking that she was shirking her responsibility for what


    happened in the past.


    “I’m already taking responsibility for what happened back then. At that time, I was just a child who


    inevitably made mistakes. Seeing that you keep clinging to this issue, do you want me to take my life to


    imposing.


    “Very well. Well said, in fact. As you were just a child, I guess anything you did should be forgiven. It


    doesn’t matter if it ruined someone else’s life or rtionship. In the end, it’s my uselessness that has


    led to this situation.” Matthias spoke self-deprecatingly as he stared at her. At this moment, no one


    could guess what he intended to do.
