But I do, he said.
Her heart seemed to be instantly
enveloped in something. Her nose
suddenly felt sore, and even her eyes
became misty.
It turned out there was somebody in this
world who would feel hurt because of
her injuries.
He would feel her pain.
Falling in love with him might have been
the best choice she ever made.
He wrapped the towel around her body, carried her out of the bathtub, and helped her change into clean leisurewear. Then, he carried her out of
the bathroom and treated her bruises.
Just yell if it hurts, he said.
Sure, she replied.
He treated her bruises gently as if he
was dealing with a treasure of great
importance-one that was even more
important than his own life.
When he finally finished treating the
ring of bruises around her wrist, he did
not let go. Instead, he kept staring at the
unfaded bruise around her wrist.
Tell me. What did Brian say when he put you down and grabbed your hand? His voice whispered out of his mouth, and
his deep eyes slowly looked up into her almond-shaped eyes.
Grace stiffened, feeling as though his eyes were trying to see right through her.

mind it?
Brian said luckily, Im not, taking a deep breath, she answered him truthfully.
Luckily youre not? His eyes narrowed
slightly as if pondering the meaning of
this remark.
Because Didnt Brian always think I might be the one he was looking for? However, he found her now. Its Stella.

Therefore, I think he meant to say that he
wont misunderstand me anymore. Im
not the one hes looking for.
Grace spoke. Her heart was beating violently when she said these words.
What she said was true, but now that
she had recovered her lost childhood
memories, she felt guilty when she said
His eyes were still fixed on her, and he
raised his hand to stroke her cheek.
What about you? Do you regret it?
The cold voice seemed to hammer every
word into the depths of her soul.
Regret? Regret that Brian made a mistake? Regret that partners who went through a life or death incident together couldnt recognize each other in the
end?
She probably regretted it, but she knew
what was most important to her.
I have no regrets, she said.
Is that so? He lowered his eyes gently,
his lashes concealing the gloom that
flashed in his eyes.
If theres no regret, why did she
hesitate for so long?
She and Brian
He got up and put away the ointment.
Youre probably hungry. Ill get the servant to prepare some food.
Grace just realized she was hungry. It
was almost after eight oclock at night
and she had not had anything to eat
since lunch.
