“Alright, don’t work here anymore. Switch to another job.” Rory looked at Rodney as he asked, ” What do you think?”
Rodney frowned. He said, “She has nothing to do with me anymore.”
Sarah gave a small smile but still looked depressed. “I’m fine with working here. Although it’s a bit tough, this kind of life makes me feel more down to earth.”
After she finished speaking, she left without even turning her head back.
Rodney sat at the table with a cold expression. His good mood was utterly ruined.
He took out his phone, wanting to call Shaun to tell him about Sarah.
However, Rodney suddenly recalled Rory’s words. Rory said that Sarah found President Yard to agitate Rodney on purpose and make him leave her. She did that so he could reconcile with his parents.
It was true that after Sarah hurt Rodney, he realized his mistakes and returned to the Snow family. As Uncle Nathan had become the prime minister, Rodney’s status changed as well.
If it was really true, then he would not have what he had today if not for Sarah’s sacrifice back then.
His thumb stiffened on top of the screen of his phone for a moment.
Rory stole a glance at Rodney’s expression. “Should I not have called you here? I just did that because your status has changed. In the past, you kept pleasing Sarah, yet she only had eyes for Shaun.
People will always want to have their first love. Look, Sarah has already become like this. You can easily take her to bed and have fun with her. It’s okay even if you secretly keep her by your side as your mistress. With your status, it’s not like you don’t have the right to keep a lover. You can afford it too.”
“Enough. I don’t care about how you choose to fool around, but you should know that I’m different from you.”
Rodney found Rory’s words jarring. He grew furious. “Since I’m already married, I won’t do anything that will betray my wife and child.”
“Oh, please. We’re both guys. When Mireya was pregnant, you didn’t want to take responsibility and still chose to be with Sarah.” Rory was unconvinced.
Bang!
Rodney hit the table and got up. His handsome face was filled with anger. “I didn’t like Mireya back then, but I like her now.”
Rory raised his eyebrows. He was pissed, but he understood that Rodney was not someone he could offend.
“Fine, just take it as me being nosy. Alright, I won’t say anything more. It’s my birthday today, so do me a favor. Let’s eat,” Rory said as he forced a smile.
In the end, the meal was unpleasant and ended early.
After arriving at the parking lot, Rodney and Rory bid goodbye to each other. When they were about to leave, Sarah suddenly approached them nervously.
“I’m guessing she’s looking for you. I’ll be leaving first.” Rory flashed Rodney a profound smile, then got in his car and left.
Rodney had an icy expression and did not say a word until Sarah stood in front of him with her pale face.
It was almost winter. A gust of wind blew, and Sarah was shivering under her thin clothing.
Rodney gripped his car keys tight. He asked coldly with annoyance, “What do you want?”
Sarah’s body trembled. She said while holding back her tears, “Rodney, I beg you not to tell anybody that I’m here.”
“You mean Shaun and Cate, right?”
Rodney sneered icily. ” It seems that you’re capable of feeling fear too. Then why did you help Wesley target Shaun? He was the person you used to love. Shaun became so miserable because of you. Ha, forget it. I almost forgot that what you had for Shaun was most probably not love. When you went to the mental hospital in the past, it was probably a scheme to approach him, huh? How many benefits have you reaped from Shaun throughout these years? I’ve never seen such a greedy woman like you.”
“No, it’s not like that. I truly loved Shaun back then. I loved him for so long, but how did he treat me in the end? I wasn’t satisfied. I really couldn’t accept that.” Sarah broke down in tears.
Rodney was utterly disappointed. “You finally admitted it. Sarah, you’re too scary. Maybe you’ve been this scary all along. The three of us might’ve just been tools to you—“
“Rodney, whether you believe it or not, it was indeed a coincidence that I met Shaun in the mental hospital back then. I didn’t know who he was. I was just a little over ten years old at that time. How would I have known all those things? I studied psychology so diligently because I wanted to cure his illness. I even went overseas for my studies to make myself good enough for him, yet I experienced the worst nightmare of my life. But I still wanted to be with him. In the end, the man who said he loved me wasn’t faithful anymore after I was gone for only a few years.”
Sarah smiled miserably. “That’s right. I did something when I was giving him treatment. I made him remember that he loved me alone.”
“You’re really crazy.” Rodney found it hard to tolerate and shouted, “Do you know Shaun could’ve become mentally retarded if you had failed?”
“I just thought that it would be fine even if Shaun became mentally retard. At least he would be by my side. It was better than him being with another woman.”
Sarah cried out painfully and said, “I went mad for Shaun’s sake, but he still abandoned me after Cate came back three years later. During the period he said he wanted to marry me, he would go to Cate’s place every night and sleep with her. He lied to me again and again. I hated it, so I tried hard to hold onto his money to make him lose his status. At the same time, I wanted to let him know that Cate wouldn’t be with him if he lost everything. I was never aiming for his money. I just… wanted to make him miserable.”
Rodney was confused. He did not know which of Sarah’s sentences was true and which of them was false. “What about the things that happened afterward? Shaun got hurt again from falling down the stairs. Security footage showed that you went to that place. After Shaun got hurt, you escaped from Canberra. Who else could’ve done it if not you?”
“I did it.”
Sarah was exhausted from crying. She nodded her head numbly. “That’s because after I left you, I was trapped by Wesley. He got to know what I had done to Shaun from Cate. He wanted to use me.”
After she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and revealed her scars.
Rodney widened his eyes in shock.
“Wesley locked me up. ” Sarah smiled bitterly. “I was living in darkness every day. I couldn’t even commit suicide when I wanted to. When he wasn’t in a good mood, he would whip and hit me. He said that if I didn’t help him, he would strip me naked and throw me out onto the streets.”
Rodney’s head was buzzing. He kept asking himself if all of these words were true.
However, if they were not true, why would there be so many scars on her arms?
“So… you did the same trick again and made Shaun lose his memories?”
“Wesley was aiming to have me make Shaun a complete retard. I followed his order to deceive him. However, I did some tampering during the process. You might’ve sensed it too. Shaun didn’t really become a retard. He regained his intelligence later on. Toward the end, he would gradually recover his memories, ” Sarah said in a low voice.
“Recover?”
Rodney was stunned. “That’s impossible. The doctor said that he…”
“That’s a very ancient forbidden skill. Other people will say that the chances of recovery are very slim, but that’s because too few people truly understand the skill. I might’ve made Shaun seem like a retard, but in truth, it was for him to walk out of a dead end. His intelligence will grow slowly from a young age. Maybe after half a year, he will completely regain his memories.”
Sarah said calmly, “The memories will include the whole process of him and Cate falling in love in Melbourne. It’ll be complete, without any missing pieces.”
Rodney’s heart was in a mess. “Don’t try to lie to me.”
” I’m not lying. Maybe it still needs a month or so. Then, you can ask Shaun whether any familiar memories have been coming back to him on and Sarah said in a self-deprecating way, “If I really wanted to destroy Shaun, he’d remain a crazy retard right now.”
Rodney went silent.
He was half convinced and half suspicious of Sarah’s words.
However, it would be easy to verify her words too. All he had to do was ask Shaun after a month.
“Rodney, the reason I’m approaching you today is that I hope you won’t tell Shaun I’m here.” Sarah looked toward Rodney with a pleading gaze.
“If what you say is true, you can explain it to Shaun “But I did alter his memories before this as well, which separated him and Cate for three years. With his personality, he’ll kill me if he finds me. ” Sarah’s lips curved helplessly. “Moreover, I was the one who gave Sheryl’s medicine to Wesley. I had no choice. If I didn’t, I would be in a living hell.”
Rodney’s brows were knit in a tight frown.
Indeed, if Shaun and the others were to find out, Sarah would not only be killed by Shaun. She would also be tortured to death by Titus.
Rodney heard that after Wesley was brought to Neah Bay, he was tortured to the point of pure misery.
At the end of the day, Sarah deserved to be hated. However, she was still quite pitiful.
After all, she used to be the woman he loved, and Rodney could not bear to see her like that.
After a long while, Rodney said, ” I can give you a month. If Shaun recovers some of his memories after a month, I’ll sneak you out of the country to start a new life. However, if you’re lying, I can only hand you over to Shaun.”
“Okay.”
Sarah smiled and thanked him with tears in her eyes.
Rodney’s lips moved. His heart felt a little heavy, but he did not say a word. Instead, he opened the door of his car and was about to get in.
“Rodney, can I have your current phone number?” After that, Sarah quickly explained, “Don’t worry. I won’t disturb you for no reason. I just think it’ll be more convenient for me to contact you if any urgent situation arises. I know that you have a new life, and I’m happy for you.”
Despite saying that, her eyes were filled with sadness.
