    Chapter 225 Don’t You Remember?


    Liam kept telling himself again and again how kind and pure Erin was, that Erin would never do something like that, and it had to be some mistake.

    It felt like the only way to keep believing that-something he’d been clinging to deep down-was to repeat it until it blocked out everything else.


    But Tracy knew him too well.


    ‘You already know the truth,” she said sharply. “You’re just lying to yourself. Don’t you think that’s pathetic?”


    Then something seemed to click for her. Her eyes opened a little wider, like she’d finally figured him out. ‘Liam … you can’t admit Erin’s not perfect. Is it because you think she saved your life? Is that why, in your mind, she can never do anything wrong?”


    Liam’s eyes shifted away, his silence telling her everything.


    Yeah. Erin saved my life. So even if the whole family turns on me because of her, I’ll never have the right to turn on her.


    In my heart, Erin will always be good-so good that even if the whole world doubts her, I can’t.


    He kept warning himself. But Tracy’s coldugh cut right through his thoughts. “Liam, you’re pathetic, but I feel sorry for you.


    ‘You keep thinking Erin saved you on Suncord Mountain, but you don’t even know the truth. The one who risked her life-searching for days without rest,ing back hurt-it wasn’t Erin.


    ‘It was me. When everyone else had given up on you, I was still out there like an idiot, running around the mountains to find you. I ran into snakes and wild boars, and I almost died more than once-all just to save you, you ungrateful punk.


    ‘Liam… I really regret saving you back then.”


    With every word, the color drained from Liam’s face.


    No.


    …


    …


    no no way…


    “You’re lying!” His voice cracked into a hoarse yell, as if shouting was the only way to block out the truth he didn’t want to hear.


    It was Erin who saved me! You were traveling somewhere else! Erin’s hands even got hurt in the process- she’s the one who saved me!” His words came out rushed and messy,


    But even as he said it, a memory pushed its way in-something Franklin had told him.


    The search teams had looked for him for days with no luck, yet Erin just happened to walk in and find him. And she, a girl who couldn’t even carry much weight, somehow carried a full-grown man back? Except for a few scrapes on her hands, she wasn’t even injured.


    It didn’t make sense at all.

    Tracy gave him a half-smile that held no warmth. “This ‘traveling’ you think I was doing-who told you that? Did you even check? And Erin saving you-did you see it yourself, or just hear about it?


    “Liam, you’ve been impulsive your whole life. If I’m being nice, I’d call it straightforward. But really? You’re just stupid.


    “If you had even half a brain, you’d go find out who Erin really is. And if you actually feel guilty about what you’ve done to me, then drag Erin down for me.”


    She knew Erin cared too much about the Jackmans’ love. If one of them hurt her, it would cut deeper than if Tracy did it herself.


    And with that, Tracy was done talking. She mmed the door hard in his face.


    The rental was hidden behind a stairwell in an old building. Even on a bright, sunny day, not a single bit of sunlight reached here.


    As the door shut, darkness swallowed Liam whole. It pressed in on him as panic and fear crept into his chest, sinking into his bones.


    I don’t wanna doubt Erin. I really don’t. But… Tracy said she was the one who saved me.


    Every feeling-shock, confusion, anger-crashed over him at once, as if they were trying to tear him apart. He sank down on the flowerbed ledge in the courtyard, staring into space. He stayed there until the sun set and then rose again.


    Some of the old neighbors out for morning exercise saw him-pale, slouched, and lifeless. Thinking something awful had happened, they sat beside him and tried tofort him.


    Maybe it was their kindness, or maybe something just clicked in his head. Either way, Liam suddenly got up and rushed back to Jackman Vi. He didn’t care how messy he looked. He went straight to find Andrew.


    Andrew’s study was packed wall-to-wall with importantpany files. Over the years, even Erin, his beloved sister, had never been allowed to wander in.


    So when Liam barged in without knocking, Andrew’s face instantly darkened.


    “You’ve gotten way out of lely! First, you bullied Erin in front of us, and now you’re barging into my study? Looks like you’ve gone way too long without being taught a lesson!”


    Liam froze when he heard Andrew bring up how everyone used him of bullying Erin that day. The memory of being med and shut out by the whole family came rushing back.


    The anger and bitterness that had faded after Erin’s apology started to rise again. But this time, there was something else mixed in-resentment.


    For the first time, he actually felt resentment toward Erin.


    But that wasn’t why he was here. So he pushed it down and asked, “Andrew… when I was in trouble on Suncord Mountain, was it really Erin who saved me?”


    Andrew stared at him like he was speaking nonsense. “Did you get drunkst night? Erin got hurt saving. you-don’t you remember?”
