Chapter 777 They Once Loved Each Other
“Before your hypnosis, your husband was dead for a year and a half,” Micheal said.
Stella frowned. “What do you mean by that?”
“Jasper was shot through the head and he even had a funeral. After that, you disappeared. When you came back, you asked me to hypnotize you. However, after you returned to the United States, there were rumors saying that Jasper was not dead. You know how you are, not wanting others to know about you, so I don’t know much either,” Micheal explained.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Are you saying that I couldn’t bear Jasper’s death, so I hypnotized myself?” Stella frowned suspiciously.
“That’s what I suspected. Your husband’s death was a big blow to you. Because of Jasper’s death, you were once in the political circle of A Country. The former president, Sean Yaleman, was your friend, and the current president, Bellamy Chuck was your husband’s older brother. You became a legend in the political circle. You fought against Christian Saltzman and defeated Quin Zellweger. They were two of the three giants, and the other is your husband, Jasper,” Micheal explained.
Stella looked to the front in a trance. “I don’t remember these things.”
“You sealed off all information about Jasper to prevent yourself from thinking of him. Do you remember Frederick Addington?”
“Frederick?” Stella thought for a moment and said, “I don’t remember him. Who is he?”
“Your ex-husband. Stella, you really are cruel. In order to forget Jasper, you even forgot everyone related to him. Your memory only consists of memories before you met Jasper,” Micheal sighed.
“Jasper came to look for me,” Stella said.
“As long as he is alive, he will definitely look for you. After all, you are his wife, and you have two children together.”
“He said that he wanted me to help him forget me, so I need your help,” Stella said flatly.
“Do you really want me to hypnotize his memories? If he too forgets you, then there will be no hope between you two anymore. What about your children?” Micheal was worried. Ever since he had children, he would always think about the children.
“Jasper said that he would raise them. He wanted me to hypnotize his subconscious to make him think that the children’s mother is dead,” Stella said. Inexplicably, her heart tensed.
“Well, it seems that he is better than you are. In order to forget him, you gave up everything, including your responsibilities. I will go to the United States next week. When the time comes, I’ll try. You know, my hypnotizing skills are far worse than yours. Most of your hypnosis is done by yourself,” Micheal said gloomily.
Stella hung up the phone and recalled what Micheal had said.
She didn’t think that she was such an irresponsible person, so why did she hypnotize herself?
Her head started to ache, so she lay on the sofa and closed her eyes. She didn’t want to think about anything. She just wanted to have a good rest.
The phone rang.
She opened her eyes, got up, walked to the table, and picked up the landline.
“Doctor Grace, Mr. Harrison is here,” Archer said over the phone.
“Okay, let him in after five minutes,” Stella opened the window to let the fresh air in and at the same time, blow away the lingering presence of those who were once in the room.
All of a sudden, she thought of Jasper again and her heart felt sour and uncomfortable.
A lot of people were arrogant and would never lower their heads as they thought that their dignity was greater than anything else. As long as the other party said that they should break up, no matter how painful it was, they would pretend to agree, even if that might only be a test. Just like that, they would be separated from their soulmate.
A person’s heart could not stand tests, feelings, and time. Love would always only last for an instant, just like a blooming flower. What was sustainable than love was the painstaking effort of managing and protecting each other, to bear compromises, to get along with each other, and to live with each other for the rest of their lives until they were old. That was the best kind of love.
She and Allen had skipped love and went straight to managing and protecting each other.
She was confident that she could manage it well, but why didn’t she manage it well with Jasper? Was it because she loved him too much?
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
When Stella finally recovered to her senses, she realized that her face was wet.
She was not a person who liked to cry, her heart was not as soft as an ordinary person either. So why? Why did she cry?
She pulled out a paper towel and wiped her tears away. Then, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath to calm herself, and said, “Come in.”
A beautiful Caucasian girl walked in. Her name was Jessica. Her face was very pale, and her eyes were filled with sadness.
With a glance, Stella could feel her sadness and decadence.
“It seems that you didn’t get better.” Stella said softly.
Jessica’s tears instantly fell, “I know my parents are worried about me, but I really can’t let him go. He is going to marry another woman soon. I really want to die in front of him, so that he will remember me for the rest of his life.”
Stella poured a glass of water for her patient habitually and put it in front of Jessica, “What do you think you could get after you die? Do you really think that he will remember you, or that he will always love you? If you die, you won’t be able to see anything. You wouldn’t be able to see him changing his mind, you can’t see your own happiness, you can’t see everything you want, and you will only leave with resentment.”
“But my heart hurts a lot. I can’t sleep at night. Whenever I think of him, I feel like I couldn’t breathe properly. I really want to ask him why he’s marrying another woman,” Jessica said anxiously.
“Why didn’t you ask then?” Stella asked in return.
“He turned off his phone and went abroad with the girl. I couldn’t find him no matter how hard I tried. He didn’t even come back and see me after I tried to commit suicide,” Jessica was overwhelmed with sorrow.
Stella said, “You’ve done all those things in order to retain him, but if you don’t cherish yourself, how do you expect others to cherish you? What you have done could only be a topic for him to brag about in the future, the fact that there’s a girl who tried to commit suicide over him.
If he had any affection for you, he would have appeared after you tried to commit suicide, but he didn’t. Perhaps, he turned off his phone and traveled abroad with the girl to avoid you. That is to say, your behavior annoyed him, and you would only make him hate you by clinging to him. Even if you committed suicide in front of him, he would only hate you.”
“At least it’s better than him forgetting me completely. I want him to remember me, even if he hates me,” Jessica said.
“This kind of hatred and disgust will disappear after you die. Are you sure that you want to choose death?” Stella asked again.
Jessica stopped talking, and tears streamed down her face.
Stella explained, “If you want to keep him in your life, you should first make yourself a better person. Work hard every day for the sake of your own excellence, instead of making yourself worse. If you do the latter, you would only make him want to stay away from you.
If you want to take revenge on him, then, find a better man and lead a happier life.
Other things that don’t benefit you at all will only make you feel inferior, petty, detestable, and degraded,” Stella said sharply.
Jessica looked at Stella with reddened eyes, “Have you ever loved someone? Do you know how it feels to love someone? Do you know how it feels to be abandoned?”
Stella stared at Jessica’s upset expression. She then smiled and said, “I once loved someone to the point that I hypnotized myself to forget him completely.”
