Chapter 1814 Deceived By His Own Memories
Frida pondered for a moment, but she was still worried about Shermaine. “His wife, his children, and his friends will tell him the truth when they see you with him. Have you—”
“I’ve thought about this before I changed his memory. He won’t suspect anything. Even if something unexpected crops up, I can handle it.”
Frida sighed. “I hope you get what you want and be happy with him for these remaining three months. Make your sacrifice worth it.”
“Thank you. When I’m gone, all of you have to protect the treasure for me.”
“Don’t worry. We’ll protect the treasure well.”
Shermaine nodded. When she walked out of the secret chamber, she saw Evan chatting with Elias over tea.
Elias was telling him to treat Shermaine well.
“I will!” Evan replied.
Elias let out a sigh of relief. He never thought that the secret technique of altering memories would actually work. Evan now regarded Shermaine as his wife, and his friends would probably be shocked when they saw him with Shermaine later.
“Evan, let’s go.” Shermaine walked to his side and looked at him affectionately.
“All right.” Evan stood up.
Watching as the two walked away, Frida asked Elias in a soft voice, “Do you think Shermaine will get what she wants?”
“Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise and vice versa. I guess it depends on her fate now.”
There was a look of sorrow in Frida’s eyes. She thought that Shermaine had done something foolish because the man was not worth it. “Shermaine has always looked down on men. I never thought she would give up her life for a man. This is really surprising.”
“Life is full of surprises. We should respect her decision. Whether it’s worth it or not, it’s still her choice.”
Frida inhaled deeply and went to Shermaine’s room. She noticed that Shermaine’s old dresser was quite nice, so she decided to use it for now to remind her of Shermaine.
Walking down the mountain, Shermaine told Evan about the journey of getting the antidote.
She said that Elias, her senior, could not bear to see her suffer for the antidote. Hence, after some persuasion, he had agreed to give her the antidote.
She also said that since she had been with Evan for many years, she thought that her relationship with her senior would grow distant. Yet, they still treated her well.
While listening to this, Evan recalled having a one-night stand with a woman. The woman had regarded him as a gigolo, and she was Shermaine.
Later, Shermaine had given birth to his child, and many things had happened between them.
Shermaine had altered every memory he had with Nicole, causing him to think those things had happened between him and Shermaine instead.
Evan could never have imagined that he would be deceived by his own memories one day.
Looking at Shermaine, he uttered plainly, “I don’t remember you being acquainted with them. If I hadn’t seen them today, I wouldn’t have known that you have such a relationship with them.”
“Yes. We’ve been together all these years and have experienced many things together. I’ve never gone back for so long.” Shermaine forced a smile, a complicated look in her eyes. “Now that we have the antidote, what are you going to do next?” she asked, quickly changing the topic.
“After detoxifying Jeremy, we’ll leave and go back to detoxify Faye.”
Go back… Shermaine was still concerned about going back with Evan. Although his memories had been altered, those who knew him would definitely tell him about the past once they went back. Will he suspect me?
“What’s wrong?” Evan asked curiously, seeing that she was silent.
