    Chapter 1519


    Marcus collected his thoughts, abandoning his initial n to get out of bed and close the window


    himself. In a calm and soft voice, he asked, “Would you mind closing the window? It gets rather chilly


    during the dark nights, and the child might catch a cold.”


    There was a long pause before the figure sitting in the shadow of a chair within the room finally stirred.


    She got up, closed the window, and then returned to her seat.


    It was hard to tell how long she had been sitting there, but through the silhouette that was briefly


    outlined when she closed the window and the flowing hair that was visible even in the dim light, it was


    clear that she was a woman.


    The wind had stopped, and the room didn’t feel as cold anymore.


    Marcus, with his limited mobility, didn’t get out of bed. He simply propped himself up against the


    headboard.


    He nced at his son, who was still sound asleep beside him, covered him with a nket, and then


    turned his gaze back to the figure in the darkness. “If I’m not mistaken, you must be the famed Miss


    Ellinor, aren’t you?”.


    Famed?

    Ellinor sat in her chair, appearing calm, but only she knew how icy cold she felt inside. She let out a dry


    laugh.


    “Yes,” she said. “Even though you’ve lost your memory, you’re still asposed as you were three


    years ago. You found an intruder in your room in the middle of the night, and yet you still asked her to


    close the window for you?”


    Marcus replied indifferently, “I had no choice. My body wouldn’t allow it. If I could, I would have done so


    myself.”


    Ellinor’s serene eyes bore into him through the darkness. Although she could only make out his vague


    silhouette, her gaze still pierced his heart.


    “Aren’t you curious why I’m here?” She asked.


    Marcus smirked, his tone indifferent. “I’m not curious, but I think you shouldn’t havee.”


    Ellinor was silent for a while before she stood up and walked towards him. Her steps were slow, devoid


    of any emotions, but as she reached the bedside, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his throat.


    She squeezed hard, showing no mercy.


    “Seeing you so indifferent makes me want to strangle you to death!” She spat.


    He was forced to look up at her, and under the moonlight, he could finally see her face clearly.


    There was a flicker of familiarity, but it was faint.


    However, he could clearly see the burning hatred in her eyes.


    She squeezed his throat, cutting off his air supply, but he didn’t fight back or make a sound. He simply


    let her be.


    Eventually, Ellinor let go, grinding her teeth as she muttered, “You bastard! I should have never trusted


    you!”


    Marcus coughed a few times, trying to catch his breath, before he finally managed to say, “I’m sorry. I


    don’t remember anything from the past, including you. I can’t apologize for something specific, so an


    overall apology will have to do.”


    Ellinor sneered. “Even if you did remember, you probably wouldn’t feel sorry. You’ve always been


    unreliable and shameless!”


    He raised an eyebrow. “And yet, we have a child together?”


    Ellinor’s face darkened. “You think I wanted this? The child was unexpected. I was never interested in


    you, an old man.”


    Marcus stared at her for a moment. “So, you became interested in meter?”


    Ellinor fell silent.


    Marcus chuckled. “Anyway, this isn’t the time to be settling scores. You should leave the way you


    came. If Sophia finds you here, she might take me and the kid back to M State. It would be much


    harder for you to find me then.”


    Ellinor paused, ncing at the sleeping child on the bed. “Why aren’t you sleeping in the same room as


    Sophia?”


    “Is that what you want?”
