Eulalia was quite experienced with “escaping,” but she didn’t intend to run away this time. She found a phone booth, inserted some coins, and started dialing. She was always good with numbers, which probably had something to do with her job before she lost her memory.The call went through, and after a few rings, a lazy male voice answered, “Hello?”“Trent, I’m willing to go with you,” she said.There was a brief pause before Trent chuckled. “I heard Percival was hospitalized, and his left hand is half-crippled. Did you do that?”“Yes, and I poisoned him today,” she replied.Trent was surprised. He didn’t expect such a seemingly fragile woman to dare poison Percival. It was true that a cornered rabbit would bite.“My grandpa would be furious if he found out,” Trent commented.Eulalia didn’t want to turn to Trent either. She felt he was just as bad as Percival. But with her memory loss and no one else to turn to, she couldn’t fight Percival alone and had to seek help from his “enemy.”

Eulalia stared at the video. She was just one step away from regaining her memory, but fear gripped her. The terror she had buried deep in her soul suddenly erupted, screaming at her not to click on it, warning that something horrifying awaited inside.She took a deep breath, her hand trembling as she placed it on the mouse and clicked on the video. A man appeared on screen, kneeling in a strange position. His white shirt was soaked in blood, and his legs were twisted, obviously broken.The video had been edited down to five minutes. Eulalia sat dumbfounded in front of the computer. As the video played, her locked memories flooded back like a torrent, overwhelming her mind. They shattered into fragments, each piece a mirror reflecting the memories she had lost.These memories roared within her like demons, fighting to cover up the most terrifying ones. But as the video continued, the locks holding these demons broke one by one, revealing them in all their bloody horror before Eulalia'

“You think I’d still love the child tainted with your blood after all I’ve been through?” Eulalia’s words were cruel, but her heart ached fiercely, like a small hand was squeezing it tight.Her eyes were red and sore, but no tears fell. “You’ll never know how I counted every minute during that hour, or those ten calls... I called you ten times. Why didn’t you answer? If you’d just answered the last one, Vincent wouldn’t have died.”She wasn’t afraid of pain or disability; she just couldn’t accept losing the most important person in her life.For over ten years, Vincent had been her guiding light, one she silently cherished in her heart, only for Percival to extinguish it with a casual swipe.Percival’s throat tightened as he picked up Eulalia’s coat and wrapped it around her, covering her injuries below her neck. He held her tightly, tears falling onto her neck. “You should hate me. I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but Eulalia, I have only you left. Only you. I know I’m unforgivable,

Eulalia was taken to the hospital for an examination, and it turned out both her legs were indeed broken. When Percival heard the results, his temples throbbed slightly. “Her left shin is fractured, and her right ankle is injured. Both legs will need to be in casts, and they should heal in 3-4 months. She needs to rest well and remember to get massages for recovery...” The doctor said. Percival’s eyelid twitched. “What if we don’t treat her?” The doctor was stunned for a moment before saying, “If she doesn’t get treatment, her legs will become permanently disabled over time, and she’ll spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.” A lifetime in a wheelchair, unable to move her legs—that meant Eulalia wouldn’t be able to leave him. “Then we won’t treat her.”&n

That day, she had some big surprises lined up for Percival, things he'd never forget for the rest of his life.Eulalia touched her earlobe, where a faint scar was.Sensing her mood, Misty dropped a yarn ball beside Eulalia, hoping she'd play. When Eulalia ignored it, Misty nudged her fingertips and licked them.Eulalia's expression softened as she gently petted its head.Perhaps this little creature was the only one truly staying by her side now.Around noon, Ms. Hayak got a call from her daughter and anxiously asked the butler for a few days off.The butler looked troubled. With Christmas coming up, he was planning to take a vacation too. But if he left and Ms. Hayak also needed to go, who would take care of Eulalia?When Percival got home, Mr. Lee told him about the leave requests. If Percival agreed, they could easily go on their vacations. If not, they’d have to stay.Percival thought for a moment. Since Eulalia had a broken leg and couldn’t go anywhere, having one more or one les
