Chapter 1046

"Although you have forgotten about us, if I had not left, the possibility of chasing after you, clinging to you, and becoming your spouse would have been me."

"You always said that I 'trapped myself in the past,' but I really couldn’t accept it. Esmeralda, I really couldn’t bear it.”

He was smiling at me, but there were tears in his eyes. I really hoped that he could move on from the past, but I didn’t know what to do. Sometimes I also hate myself, why can’t I remember that past? Because there was still hope in my heart, that’s why I couldn’t accept it. If I had remembered, maybe he wouldn’t have been so unwilling.

Anton looked at me deeply, then turned away suddenly, and said with a smile, “Sorry, I said something that made you uncomfortable again.”

“No,” I said quietly.

Anton lowered his gaze and said with a faint smile, “You can go now, don’t keep Reynaldo waiting for too long.”

I really didn’t know how to comfort him anymore. I got up and said to him, “Don’t overthink it. Your father cares for Kimberly and surely loves you too.”

“Kimberly has always been good at pretending to be weak. Who knows if this whole illness scam was her idea, getting your father to go along with it."

Anton shook his head and disagreed, saying, “It’s unlikely, she was still so young at that time.”

I chuckled. “Some people are just born bad, with deep and malicious intentions, regardless of age.”

I said to him seriously, “Anton, never underestimate your dear sister. After all, the reason I forgot about that memory back then was also because of her masterpiece.”

Anton shuddered all over and said incredulously, “How… is this possible?”

Look, Kimberly just has this kind of magic. Even though all the bad things were done, even though the lies were exposed, no one dared to believe that she could be so malicious.

I smiled at Anton and said, “She admitted it herself. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her later.”

That’s enough said here. As for whether Anton would believe what I said, that doesn’t matter anymore.

When I returned to the entrance of the outpatient department, I did not see Reynaldo. I thought he had left, but as I was walking towards the outpatient department, I suddenly heard his voice again. He was leaning against the pillar by the door making a phone call, and the pillar happened to block my view.

“Kimberly’s attending physician, please investigate thoroughly. If you find anything, inform me immediately.”

I was stunned. Was Reynaldo finally going to start investigating Zackery? Could he follow Zackery to find out about the incident four years ago? Thinking about Kimberly’s constant lies, deceitful ways, and so many supporters, I felt a bit anxious. The truth about that incident four years ago is probably not easy to uncover. After all, the physical evidence was in Zackery’s hands, and the eyewitnesses were all willing to protect Kimberly even to death. Even though Reynaldo suspected Kimberly’s involvement in the incident four years ago because of Zackery, without concrete evidence or witnesses, it was unlikely that Kimberly could be brought to justice.

“What’s wrong?”

I was thinking when Reynaldo’s deep voice suddenly came. I came to my senses and looked up. He had finished the call and was walking towards me.
