Chapter 1856 A Drink
Shermaine nodded and finished the glass in a few gulps. Putting the empty glass to the side, she said, “Let’s fill our stomachs first. Once we’re done, we can come back to rest early. We still have to continue our journey tomorrow.”
With that said, she rose to her feet to head out. Yet, to her surprise, her legs went weak, causing her to stumble and fall to the floor.
What’s going on? Why can’t I summon any strength?
“We won’t be eating anything, and you won’t be leaving this room.” Hearing that, Shermaine lifted her head to look at Evan before her eyes drifted to the glass.
“The water…”
“I spiked it,” Evan admitted.
That caused her to frown and stare at him in shock. “Why did you do that?”
“Shermaine, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I just want to ask what you’ve done to me. Why do I have issues with my memory?”
“You… You—”
No. No way. There’s no way Evan would find out about this. The book said he wouldn’t remember the truth.
“Evan, what are you talking about? I don’t get it,” Shermaine said, playing dumb.
Evan looked down at her and uttered, “I’m not a fool. Although my memory tells me that you’re my wife, my feelings, my friends, and my son convinced me that there’s something wrong with my memory. You’re not my wife.”
“If your memory tells you it’s me, then it’s me! Your feelings aren’t right, and your friends are lying to you.”
“I don’t want to waste any time with you. You’re now poisoned, and if you don’t take the antidote, you’re going to die. We can make a deal. Restore my memory, and I’ll give you the antidote. From then on, we’ll no longer be associated with each other. Sounds good?”
Shermaine was quiet for a while but eventually shook her head.
“I’d rather die than to have you think that I’m not your wife. I want you to remember me as your wife forever!”
Evan frowned, for he never thought she would refuse to correct his memory. “Are you really not afraid of dying?”
“I’ll tell you the truth. Your memory will only be reverted to normal after I die! So, you don’t need to make a deal with me. Just kill me,” Shermaine enunciated with a solemn expression.
Killing her will restore my memories?
Although Evan was doubtful of her words, he still reached out to wrap his hands around her neck. “Do you really think that I wouldn’t dare to kill you?”
At that, Shermaine closed her eyes and smiled. If she could die at Evan’s hands, then he would remember her forever.
I guess that’s a good idea too.
“Kill me.”
At the sight of her calm and fearless look, Evan hesitated.
Although Shermaine had messed up his memory, she had not done anything to hurt him. He was not sure if he should actually take her life.
Unable to make the killing blow, he decided to knock her out instead.
At the same time, he felt that keeping her alive could be useful since she was one of The Four Guardians of Daemonic Mount.
After settling Shermaine down, Evan promptly returned to Daemonic Mount. Then, he arranged for Jeremy and Jensen to keep an eye on her in the hotel.
In other words, he would have control over one of The Four Guardians of Daemonic Mount.
Nicole was particularly surprised when she heard about Evan’s return.
She scrambled out of bed and left the cabin to see Evan lighting a fire. “Why are you back at a time like this? You—”
“Do you not want me to come back?”
“No, that’s not it. It’s just so sudden. Evan, do you remember who your wife is now?”
“I don’t, but I’m sure it’s you,” Evan stated as he looked into her eyes with a resolute gaze.
Nicole’s heart warmed at his words. “It’s okay even if you don’t remember. I’ve found a hypnotist, and he’s currently living in the town. I’ll bring you to him tomorrow and have him give you a checkup.”
After some deliberation, Evan nodded.
In the next second, they saw Levant, Davin, and Juan returning.
“Mr. Davin, did you find anything? Have you gotten the key to the treasure?”
