Chapter 26


    " Xander used to hate me because he was unaware of everything. Sofia and I know Veronica''s hanging


    out with Peter without Xander''s knowledge. But we couldn''t say it. He would never believe me. And I


    liked you, Henry. That''s why I kissed you back and we don''t have any chance to take our rtionship to


    next level. Even if we got the change, I don''t think I could have done it. All these years, I still love


    Xander."


    " I loved you, Madison. But then you went far away. But I''m d you told me now. I don''t want my


    expectations to get high."


    " Do you still had any expectations when you came here?"


    " Maybe. Just a hope. But if you love Xander, I''m okay with it. I want things to work out with you and


    him. Actually, it''s kinda unbelievable that you love Xander. All these days, I thought you both hated


    each other."


    " I wanted to hate me. I tried to but I couldn''t. But he hated me until the day a car hit him."


    " Yeah, I never asked you this. But how did you met him after many years? I know Veronica''s going


    abroad for a business meeting. Did you follow them? That''s how you found him when he got hit by a


    car." Henry imagined something stupid.


    C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    " No. I''m not studying in school anymore. Why would I follow them instead of working for my life? I was


    a waitress at dinner. They both showed up. Veronica and I had an argument and I just poured the juice


    on her suit and I resigned before the owner fires me. I was refreshing my mind by walking on all nearby


    streets. I spotted Xander again on a road. When Veronica departed, Xander got hit by a car. If she went


    five minuteste, nothing would have happened." I exined to Henry.


    The alternative situation would have not changed my life at all. By this time, Xander would have been


    preparing for his wedding while I would have been earning my living as a single woman.


    " All these things happened. I''m sure you wouldn''t have told anyone except Sofia and now, it''s me,


    right?"


    " Yeah, who else do I have?" I can''t share it with Xander even if he''s ready to hear it all.


    " That means you haven''t told anything about his past to him, right?"


    " No. I didn''t and I won''t until he gets his memory back."


    " That''s stupid, Madison. We can''t be sure if he will get his memories back or not. You should tell him


    before anyone else does. You know what I mean?"


    Veronica?


    " I can''t dump him with everything. There''s no use in it. I''m not saying anything and I know he won''t


    believe Veronica''s words. When the right timees, I will tell him"


    " It''s your decision, Madison. But you should have told me all this when we were in school. Xander will


    believe my words. I would have told him whatever Veronica did to get him. We could have prevented all


    the problems and you wouldn''t have left the school. Why didn''t you told me anything? Is your trust in


    me isn''t enough?" Henry let out the words in anger.


    " I trusted you. I still trust you. That''s why I''m talking to you now. I don''t know what should I do. The


    next day after the dare, I tried to tell Xander that I never knew Veronica was his girlfriend. I failed in all


    attempt because Veronica didn''t let him hear me. I gave up and left. I don''t want to talk about this


    anymore."


    " Okay. I won''t ask any question about it. I just told you what you should have done. It would have


    saved your life and Xander''s too. Veronica wasn''t good enough for him. He suffered a lot due to her.


    She hurts him and tries to get get back to him asking for forgiveness. There will be problems in the


    rtionship. There will always be a reason for a problem. With Xander and Veronica, the problem is


    nothing but her. She doesn''t deserve his trust and love. All I can say is, he wasted his love for a wrong


    person." Henry said, feeling sorrow for his friend.


    " Now, what can we do? We can''t change the past but we can prevent the future. Xander''s stubborn


    that he doesn''t want to marry her."


    " Like I already said, that''s the only good decision he ever took. By the way, I''m not mad at you for


    telling me all this. I won''t kick you out of my house or ignore you. I''m happy that something works out


    between you and Xander. You both are important in my life. You will be perfect for each other." Henry


    said. The only person who''s happy for me and Xander.


    Henry stayed silent for some minutes, taking everything in mind and then he''s back to being himself.


    Being cool and funny sometimes. We talked like how we used to be years ago.


    " I had a good time here. I will go back to the hospital. Are youing?" I asked Henry.


    " I don''t think it''s a good idea. He''s going to talk to me like a stranger. It feels weird to hear him talk like


    that."


    " Xander has no hatred towards you. You can introduce yourself and start a new beginning."


    " Or maybe I can wait till he gets his memories back. That will be more convenient."


    " Are you sure?" I asked him twice but he''s stubborn in his answer.


    " Okay. I will see you tomorrow," I waved at him as he smiled. I reached the hospital and Xander was


    using hisptop.


    " What are you searching for?"


    " Just looking at my photos. There''s a lot of photos here. No matter how much I concentrated on it, I


    can''t remember a single thing. Not remembrance of the ce in the picture. My mind is literally nk."


    Heined, tapping the key furiously.


    " I told you not to stress it, Xander. Let go of the attachment, it will happen." I told him, leaning down to


    kiss him. He opened his mouth slightly to kiss me back. I pushed theptop away from hisp and got


    on top of him. A sudden notification sound from hisptop distracted us.


    " It would be nothing but Amazon rmendations, Reddit or something. Who cares?" He said, as his


    hand goes to close theptop. But my eyes caught something in the email. It''s from the person.


    " Don''t close it," I turned it and clicked it to open the full email.


    Hello,


    This is me, Veronica. I know all you have is theptop. Please don''t ignore this email. I know you want


    to cancel the wedding. You don''t how much I''m worried about it. Give me a chance to change your


    decision. You once loved me. I know you still love me even when you can''t remember it. I have a lot to


    say to you. I will visit you tomorrow.
