Miles Sterling explained, "It’s not that I don’t believe what you’re saying, it’s just that I have no memory of what you’re talking about."

Gwen Grant squatted down, covered her face, and burst into tears, murmuring to herself, "You loved me so much before, why have you become like this now..."

Miles Sterling looked at Gwen with a pained expression, his voice softening a bit, saying, "What I mean is that we should take a break for now. Once I regain my memory, you’ll be the first person I come to. Okay?"

Gwen raised her tear-streaked face to look at Miles and asked, "...What if you never remember?"

Miles thought for a moment and said, "Give me some time to adjust. I know you’ve worked hard to take care of me during this time, but I feel that the current me doesn’t deserve your care. I’m not a good husband right now, so we can’t keep going like this. It’ll only make our relationship worse."

"Then who will take care of you if I leave?" Before Miles could answer, Gwen pleaded through tears, "Please don’t push me away, Miles. I want to be by your side. I’m not trying to pressure you to respond to me; I just hope you can be calm and gentle with me at least."

Miles remained silent, watching Gwen’s tears, finding it hard to say words of rejection.

Gwen, through her sobs, continued, "You can pretend I don’t exist most of the time, go wherever you want, but if you need me by your side, you can call me. Being kind to you isn’t meant as pressure, forcing you to treat me as you did before. I said before, after such a serious accident, just being able to see you every day makes me happy."

"But sometimes I can’t control my emotions."

Gwen shook her head and said, "It’s okay. When you’re in a bad mood, do whatever you feel like. Your legs have almost healed; you can go out on your own now. I’ll also work on not intruding into your affairs."

"But... this way, you’ll suffer."

Gwen wiped her tears and, looking up at Miles, said, "Miles, you’re the one who’s forgotten the past, but I remember everything. The person I love is you. Being by your side, why would I feel wronged? If you drive me away, only then will I feel wronged."

In the end, Miles compromised, his tone much gentler than before, saying, "I’ll try to adapt soon. Give me a bit more time."

Gwen smiled through her tears, looked at Miles full of joy, and cautiously asked, "...Can I have a hug?"

Miles was momentarily stunned, not giving a definite response, but nor did he refuse,

so Gwen tentatively spread her arms, took the initiative to hug Miles, and buried her head in his chest.

In that moment, she felt that Miles belonged to her forever, whether now or in the future...

"Do you want to eat now? If not, I’ll save the food for you and heat it up in the microwave later."

Miles gently shook his head and said softly, "No need for the trouble, let’s eat now."

Gwen smiled contentedly, feeling that her little act earlier had worked.

The amnesiac Miles was much more easygoing than before, at least not as self-willed, willing to make an effort to accommodate others, and no longer the flirt he used to be.

Gwen believed that as long as Vanessa Sterling didn’t come to stir trouble, her future with Miles would only grow blissful and beautiful.
