Chapter 969 The Past Was Already History


    “Rae?” Adam noticed that Rae was just gazing at himself without saying anything, so he shouted at her


    again.


    Rae was shocked for a while as she quickly returned to her senses, “Adam, let me help you up first,


    let''s find a ce to sit down and have a talk, okay?”


    She tried to speak as gently as possible. This was because Rae was feeling a bit guilty in her heart.


    “Okay!” Adam immediately nodded his head in agreement. He then lowered his head in frustration


    again, seemingly feeling embarrassed.


    “Are you alright?” Rae asked.


    Adam did not say anything. His face was totally red with embarrassment.


    At that instant, Rae understood that he could not get up.


    She immediately straightened the wheelchair, then walked over and said to him, “I''ll carry you up, just


    give me your hand!”


    “No! There’s no need!” Adam immediately shook his head upon hearing this.


    Rae was shocked and continued saying, “If I were you, I wouldn’t care about my reputation right now,


    at least in this case!”


    When Adam heard what she said, his face got even redder.


    Rae had already walked over and squatted down to give him a lift.


    Adam wanted to refuse while he was blushing. However, as he thought of what Rae said, he hesitated


    again. Finally, he obeyed silently.


    Rae tried her best to carry him up. After sitting him on the wheelchair, Rae was panting from


    exhaustion.


    Adam replied while feeling embarrassed, “Thank you, I know I''m quite heavy!”


    “It''s okay!” Rae shook her head. After settling down, she said to Adam, “Do you want to have a talk at a


    cafe, or a teahouse?”


    “I’m fine with either one!” Adam whispered.


    “Then let''s go to a teahouse!” Rae thought that teahouses were full of older people. As there would be


    lesser younger people, Adam wouldn’t feel too humiliated.


    So, she pushed Adam to the nearest teahouse.


    On the way, Adam asked her, “Rae, how have you been these five years? I wanted to search for you,


    but I didn''t know you came to City B. I thought you had left the country, you said you were going abroad


    before!”


    “Going abroad?” So Rae really did wanted to go abroad.


    “Yeah! Yes, about the one you love...” Adam suddenly stopped talking. He was hesitating as he thought


    that talking about it did not feel right to him.


    Rae was also taken aback, did Adam know which person Rae loved?


    She then immediately said, “Go ahead, it''s okay!”


    Only then did Adam hesitantly speak, “The man you love, is he with you now? Did you find him when


    you went abroad?”


    This was the first time Rae got to know about the real Rae’s love life. This was also the first time she


    got to know who the real Rae loved from someone else!


    That person should be Reuben!


    “Yes, he is from the James family, right?” Adam asked again.


    Based on what he said, Rae had already confirmed that Reuben was the one Adam was talking about.


    When Adam said the first sentence, Rae already thought the person was Reuben. However, when it


    was confirmed to be true, Rae was still shocked. It turned out that the man Rae had really loved was


    indeed Reuben. The person Reuben could not forget was indeed none other than Rae.


    She really did not understand. Since Rae loved Reuben, and Reuben also loved Rae, why did the two


    of them break up?


    Why did they go to their separate ways in the first ce? One went abroad and the other went to study


    on another country?


    After years of separation, the past was already history and both of them was already in a new


    rtionship. However, they both still miss each other so much.


    What year was it when Rae and Adam met?


    If it was five years ago, then they both already had a rtionship with other people. Rae must have a


    rtionship with another man within two years after she had broken up with Reuben. Although she did


    not know who it was, but the child in her belly was definitely not Reuben’s. This was because they did


    not see each other at that time and had already broken up. Thus, the child in her belly belonged to


    someone else. So, who did this child belong to?


    After that, Reuben was in a rtionship with Ophelia. There was only a possibility that Ophelia was not


    the only woman he had rtionship with at that time, he might have another lover. Then, this meant


    that after they both got into a new rtionship, they still wanted to see each other.


    This all should have happened when Rae wanted to go abroad, which should have been five years


    ago, not seven years ago. If they could not forget each other? Why did they break up in the first ce!


    After they sat down, a pot of tea was served. So, Rae poured a cup of tea for Adam.


    Adam drank a sip of tea, and then he put the cup down.


    He looked very elegant as he was drinking the tea. It was obvious that he was well educated and had a


    good family background.


    Adam was still interrogating her.


    Rae hesitated for a moment, but still replied, “Adam, I''m sorry, in fact, something happened to me. I


    have forgotten a lot of things, including you. The reason I recognized you just now was because some


    other people talked about you. If it wasn''t for this wheelchair, I probably wouldn''t have recognized you


    either! I had a car ident five years ago, and I don''t remember a lot of things from the past, along


    with you and many other things!

    Rae was still a bit hesitated when she spoke. She then noticed Adam’s eyes immediately widen. Rae


    knew that having amnesia was a very unbelievable thing, but she was the only one who knew it clearly


    in her heart.


    However, Adam actually asked in surprise, “So, you have also lost your memory!”


    So? Also?


    Rae immediately remembered that Marcel had also lost his memories.


    “Rae, I''ve heard of this situation, my cousin also lost his memories. Before that, I always thought


    people getting memory lost only happens in novels or drama shows, and I had never encountered it in


    the real world before. However, four years ago, my cousin received a gunshot wound while on a


    mission and it caused his brain to be injured. Because of that, he also had amnesia. Only then did I


    realized that people do suffer from memory lost in the real world. So, I do believe you! Rae, how are


    you? You were not injured in the car ident, right? Was it serious?”


    When Rae heard what he said, she felt pain in her heart. After hearing that Marcel got a gunshot


    wound, Rae''s heart suddenly felt sad and heartbroken. She sighed to herself. Even until today, she still


    could not help but worry about Marcel and feel sorry for him.


    Adam noticed that Rae looked like as if she was reminiscing something. He thought she was unwilling


    to recall what happened during the ident. He thought that she was scared of what happened at that


    time. So, Adam did not dare to speak anymore.


    It took Rae a long time toe back to her senses. She thought about everything Adam had said and


    replied, “Thank you! It''s been a long time; it was like a nightmare for me. I didn''t get hurt badly but I did


    forget some things. I don''t really want to mention the ident ever again!”


    She did have a reason for saying those words. She wanted to learn something about Rae’s past


    through Adam.


    She was taking over Rae’s live. She went from being Natalie Graham to Rae Baxter. For her, this was


    the real nightmare.


    Adam asked again, “Have you made up with your ex-boyfriend?”


    Rae shook her head. What happened between Rae and Reuben was already in the past and she was


    not the real Rae. So, everything about Reuben had nothing to do with herself. The only thing she could


    give to Reuben was sympathy, and that was all.


    Moreover, Marcel and her would probably never be together again, so Rae shook her head. “I’ve just


    told you; I''ve forgotten a lot of things. I have forgotten almost everything that had happened in the past


    five years. This included, of course, the lover I used to tell you about! I even forgot about him!”


    A strange look could be seen appearing in Adam’s eyes. However, he then looked at his legs which


    caused the light inside of him to disappear again.


    Rae did not notice the look in Adam’s eyes. She only noticed the sadness in him. Rae let out a sigh in


    her heart. Seeing a young man who became disable and needed to rely on the wheelchair to move was


    just saddening for others to see.


    Even though she was not Rae, she still wanted tofort Adam, so that he could have a fighting spirit


    and live on.


    Rae said to Adam, “Adam, whether I remember you or not, when I met you today, I have a feeling that I


    may have owed you something. So, I hope you can forgive me and let go of the past. Then, you can


    keep on fighting to live your life to the fullest!”


    When Rae said this, Adam immediately shook his head, “No, no, Rae, it''s not like that! What happened


    to my legs has nothing to do with you! It was because I wasn’t good enough, I wasn’t thinking clearly


    and I kept drinking alcohol to drown my sorrows. This has nothing to do with you! Please don''t think too


    much about it! Oh, wait a second!”


    Adam suddenly remembered something, “Rae, how did you know that my leg was injured because of


    you? We haven''t seen each other for these 5 years, I haven''t heard anything from you, you shouldn''t


    have heard anything from me either. You also said you have forgotten about me, so why would you


    know that my leg was injured because of you!”


    Rae stared at his legs while listening to his words. She was slightly stunned. Adam, although his legs


    were crippled, but he was still extremely smart. He, being so observant and smart, was able to


    immediately grasped the crux of the matter.


    Rae smiled, "No matter how I knew about your leg injuries, it was me who caused it, right!”


    “You’re wrong! Just now you said that someone else mentioned me, who was it?” Adam still wanted to


    know the answer to this question.


    Rae lowered her head and did not speak for a long time. After pausing of about thirty seconds, she


    spoke in a soft voice, “I did hear about you through someone else! Adam, I don''t want to talk about it


    now, is it ok?”


    “Oh!” Adam felt a bit frustrated, but he did not force her to answer. He just replied in a very soft voice,


    “Rae, what happened to my legs has nothing to do with you, it only has to do with myself. I couldn''t


    handle it. Rae, you are still so sensible and you are still so loyal in your rtionship. I really admire that


    part of you, so I don''t me you, it is because I was not good enough.”


    Rae looked at him again, “Your leg, is there still hope?”


    She asked him directly.


    Adam also gazed at his own legs. After a long while, he finally spoke, “Five years ago when the


    ident happened, the doctor said my legs can still recover. Well, at least I do not have to sit in a


    wheelchair, but I did not have the determination, so... there is now probably not much hope!”


    After Rae heard what his said, she suddenly felt hope in her heart!


    If Adam was able to stand up and walk again. In turn, wouldn’t Marcel stop holding the grudge between


    them? Was it possible for him let go his frustration and live life to the fullest from then on?


    At this time, Marcel and his cousin were looking for Adam who went out from the hotel without greeting


    them. When Marcel and Ellen arrived at the hotel, he saw that there was no sign of Adam in the hotel


    room. He immediately got worried and started scolding Ellen, “Why did you leave him alone in the


    hotel? Don''t you know that he has been devastated even since the ident and don’t look well? What


    if he wasn’t thinking straight when he got out? What if something happens? You are already not a child


    anymore, why do you keep doing things like this, you never think of the consequences to your actions!”
