Chapter 206 A Reward For A Mistake Impossible!


    "Promise me, Ca. Don''t put your life at risk the way you just did. You really scared me, taking Sean


    with you and leaving like this. You know I can''t bear to see you two get hurt," Terence sincerely told her.


    Terence didn''t want to me her. He was actually rejoicing inside for getting Ca back in one piece


    when the girl just drove a car out without having a license. But in all honestly, that was the least of his


    concerns. What was more important for him was she didn''t really know how to drive properly. Terence


    didn''t know what he could do if something happened particrly because Ca did it from


    misunderstanding his actions. He could really thank his lucky stars that Ca and Sean were both safe.


    Ca''s eyes red at him. She cocked her head to one side and stated, "Don''t try to avoid the topic. I


    wouldn''t have left if you hadn''t pissed me off."


    Her temper quickly boiled as she listened to Terence.


    However, if she were being honest, she also got scared of her recklessness.


    "Yeah, I admit. It was my fault," Terence softly said. Terence didn''t argue with her. He just apologized


    and carried Ca in his arms all the way upstairs.


    Once he managed to get Ca into his room, Terence locked the door really tight, in case she wanted


    to run away again.


    "I assume you''re thirsty. Here, have some milk..." Terence told her as he handed her the ss of milk


    that he fetched. Ca had been on the ne for the whole night and flew into a series of anger


    afterward. So her belly must be rumbling in hunger.


    Ca ignored his kindness. She just sat on the sofa, sulking, with her arms wrapped around her legs.


    Terence sat beside her and sighed very softly. He started to exin, "It was really a long story. I never


    wanted you to know about her at first, since I didn''t know about this at that time.


    And I didn''t think that I would meet her ever again.


    I didn''t know where she was until that time when I went to see you in HA City. I went to Entertainment


    Club first, and that was where I met her."


    Hearing this, Ca suddenly turned to Terence. She thought, ''Entertainment Club? Was she the


    woman who worked there?''


    "Don''t be too surprised. You''ve seen her before. She was the girl in the photo, remember that? Her


    name is Erica Su. Everyone in the Entertainment Club calls her Erica," Terence continued to rify.


    Ca''s eyes widened as words came out of Terence''s mouth.


    ''Erica? !'' The name rang in Ca''s head.


    "I assume you must know what she does for a living. So it must be obvious by now that nothing would


    ever happen between her and me. I went to see her because I found out that I had some responsibility


    regarding her present situation. Therefore, I asked my men to bring her here," Terence patiently


    narrated.


    As he carefully watched Ca, he realized that she hadn''t recovered from being in shock. So he stuffed


    the ss of milk into her hands and said, "Have some. It will help ease your mind. The rest of the


    things that I''m about to tell you will be more surprising."


    Indeed, it was too much for Ca. She took a sip of the milk and instantly felt a slight sense of


    satisfaction. Terence was right about her hunger.


    After seeing her reaction to the milk, Terence continued, "Back when I was serving in the army, my


    head got injured in a field training. Part of my memory was lost. I couldn''t remember everything about


    her and some other things for that matter. After that, my grandpa sent her away.


    Ever since then, I haven''t seen her until recently."


    Terence heaved a heavy sigh. All along, Ca thought that HA City was her bad luck since a lot of


    unpleasant things happened while she was there. She now realized that the ce was also Terence''s


    bad luck.


    "All those days, I went to see her because I wanted to know what exactly happened at that time. I don''t


    want to stay unaware of what I have done before. And I don''t want you to stay unaware either," Terence


    concluded.


    Although it had been ten years since then, he still wanted Ca to know everything about him.


    That was why he was so eager to know everything that happened between him and Erica.


    A moment passed before Ca could react. She raised her eyebrows and stated, "Do you think I''m a


    child? Like I''m two years old or so? We''re not in a TV show Terence. People don''t just get knocked on


    the head and lose their memory."


    Terence nodded. He didn''t say anything to defend himself. Instead, he stood up, grabbed something


    from the study and ced it in front of Ca.


    "What''s this?" She asked after ncing at what Terence had just brought.


    "The diagnosis. This one is from that ident. There is medical proof for partial memory loss. I didn''t


    make it all up. And I only lost a very small part of my memory. It was quitemon clinically,"


    Terence said as he pointed at the diagnosis to let Ca read it for herself.


    Ca took it and she started reading. There was a lot that she couldn''t understand in the diagnosis, but


    she looked at the date. It was ten years ago, which matched Terence''s story. So, Terence was telling


    the truth.


    With that proof, Ca''s temper slowly started to die down.


    "Are you sure this is the only woman that you forgot about?" she then asked as she watched Terence in


    doubt.


    She didn''t look forward to knowing another so-called "first love" of Terence''s.


    "Can you please try to remember carefully? Are you sure you remember everyone else except this


    woman? Or maybe next time, a woman will just bring one of your sons out of nowhere," Ca sternly


    stated.


    Terence was speechless. Then, he smiled at Ca and replied, "I think you''re the one who has


    watched too many TV shows and movies, Ca.


    But for your sake, I could swear I remember everything else clearly. I called it an ident because it


    couldn''t happen a few times."


    Ca rolled her eyes. She took another sip from the ss and asked, "So, what did you find out from


    talking with her the whole night?"


    Terence was silent for a while.


    Then, he looked down in shame and stated, "I''m sorry, Ca. We were indeed in a rtionship at that


    time. I was too young then, you know. After having spent a lot of time together, we just developed some


    affection for each other."


    Hearing this, Ca spat out the milk all over Terence''s face. She wiped her mouth before questioning


    him.


    "Say it again? You had some affection for her? Are you sure you didn''t do anything else with her?"


    Terence dragged his palms into his face and then he started to straighten his clothes. His fair eyes


    squinted and then he spoke, "I don''t get you. What else could I have done with her, Ca? Name one."


    Ca couldn''t help but look down, a little ashamed at what she had just implied. "Gosh, I mean, did you


    two— Don''t make me say it. You know what I mean!"


    Terence lifted his hand to wipe off the milk that was left over on his cheeks.


    "She was seventeen then. Neither of us was an adult. You think I would dare to do that thing with her?"


    Terence calmly stated.


    Ca pushed him back as she told him, "Who knows? Boys often know about things like that at a very


    young age. I didn''t know you at that time so I wouldn''t know if you will hesitate to do it with a sixteen-


    year-old girl, not to mention a seventeen-year-old girl!"


    "Ouch! Why did you pinch me?" she blurted out when she felt Terence''s fingers on her side.


    She red at Terence.


    "Okay, that''s enough jokes," Terence said as he pinched her on the cheek. He raised his eyebrows as


    he continued, "Back then, we were a little more than friends."


    He was trying to tease her. But on the contrary, he was the one who got a little annoyed.


    "Both of us lived in the Ans when we were young. We were of simr ages, so we often hung out with


    each other. I liked her very much at that time. That was why I often yed with her. When we were


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    climbing the mountain together, the elders thought we were in a rtionship.


    At first, I also thought we were in a rtionship. It was Erica who set my mind straight. She made me


    realize that we were only good friends. We just had moremon interests than everyone else. But we


    were never intimate," he exinedprehensively.


    He sounded honest. But still, it was just one side of the story. He described Erica as nothing more than


    a close friend during his childhood days. They lived under the same roof, so it was natural for them to


    y together.


    Should Ca believe him? It was his story after all.


    It was very likely that they had some feelings for each other then, more or less.


    Yet so many years had passed by. There was only a small chance that their feelings still existed.


    Additionally, he had long forgotten about that.


    Ca watched Terence and sneered. "Be a man, Terence. Admit it. You can tell me if your rtionship


    with her was more than that. But actually, I don''t care. You have made such a long and twisted story,


    only to show me that you''re innocent. Don''t bother..."


    Hardly had she finished speaking when she heard him flick her forehead.


    Terence then stated, "I''m serious, Ca. I''m picky about women. She came from a servant''s family of


    my house. No matter how much I liked her, there wouldn''t be a good ending between us."


    Terence was clearly aware of that. It was the unwritten code of the Ans: no one should have a romantic


    rtionship with the servants.


    The reason why Terence''s grandpa didn''t forbid him from ying with Erica was that he knew Terence


    could restrain himself.


    "That''s moving. So you wouldn''t like a servant, but you like me, a poor girl from a normal background?"


    Ca questioned him. Ca sighed really deeply. Then, she poured the rest of the milk into her mouth,


    ced the ss on the table, and stared at Terence.


    "If the servant was not Erica but me, what would you have done then?" Ca challenged him.


    Terence''s eyebrows trembled slightly. He should have expected odd questions like this from Ca.


    "I have told you everything that you should know, Ca. It''s gettingte," Terence stated as he


    glimpsed at the clock on the wall. Then he continued to say, "It''s already two o'' clock. Let''s get some


    rest. We can continue talking tomorrow if you like."


    He couldn''t expect Ca to process all of what he just said in such a short time. It would take a while


    for her to digest everything.


    Ca didn''t disagree with his suggestion. She stood up and walked towards the door.


    "Where are you going?" Terence asked.


    "Going back to my room to sleep," Ca inly stated as she walked to the door and tried to open it.


    She found out that it was locked. She tried to unlock it so that she could leave.


    Terence had ruined her day. But after all that he had done, he still expected her to act as if nothing


    happened and sleep with him. A reward for a mistake? It was impossible!


    Totally impossible.


    However, as she was about to open the door once again, the man behind her rushed over to where she


    stood in a sh.
