Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 346: Unbearable Memories

Adrian Holt suddenly opened his eyes wide, his deep and profound gaze dark and inscrutable, casting a shadowy glint.

He was silent for a long time before he spoke softly, "Actually, I’ve been in S City for the past two years. I only went back when they needed fresh blood."

Before meeting Serena Summers, he never suspected there was anything wrong with his memory.

Except for the one time when he woke up from a coma two years ago, which was the only time he sensed that something was missing from his life.

During that period, he was completely lethargic.

He had always thought it was a sequel of the car accident, but now that he thought about it, some details didn’t stand up to scrutiny.

"Do they... draw blood from you often?"

Serena Summers suddenly remembered the needle marks on his arm, so many and so dense, they looked somewhat frightening.

But Serena just felt heartache.

"At first, they drew a lot of blood, but when they couldn’t figure anything out, they began to doubt that my blood contained what they were looking for."

Serena Summers opened her arms and hugged Adrian Holt tightly.

"I’m sorry, it was me who discovered that your blood can detoxify. If it weren’t for me, perhaps you would not have suffered so much."

Adrian Holt shook his head indifferently, "What’s a little blood loss to a man?"

Serena Summers’ nose twitched, and instead of feeling comforted, she felt even worse.

Seeing this, Adrian Holt chuckled, yet he also felt sorry for her, "It’s all in the past, we need to look forward."

"Can’t get over it."

"Then treat me better in the future, make it up to me properly."

After a moment’s thought, Serena nodded in agreement, "Mm, that I can do."

Time cannot be reversed, but she could do her best to heal all his wounds.

After a while, Serena Summers slowly lifted her head from his embrace.

Her clear eyes blinked, her face full of curiosity as she asked, "Is there anything else? I want to hear it."

She wanted to know everything about him.

Adrian Holt was stunned for a moment, then tightened his grip on Serena’s hand slightly, "I’ll tell you later."

Those memories were too unbearable, and he believed Serena wouldn’t want to know about them.

Just seeing those needle marks made her sad and upset.

What would she look like if she heard what happened in his memories?

He couldn’t bear to see Serena cry, not even if the tears were for him.

Serena blinked, as if she understood something.

She hugged Adrian Holt tightly again, not saying a word, but it was as if she had said everything.

She was feeling sorry for him...

This realization made Adrian Holt’s mood brighten, and he comforted her in a hoarse voice, "It’s all in the past, you said so yourself, all of that was false."

Serena, with a stifled voice, said, "Dean Carter says that the doctor is currently treating a patient with very severe mental illness and needs a few more days, so please wait a bit longer."

That doctor is an internationally renowned hypnotherapist, with countless patients seeking treatments every day.

Normally, one would need an appointment to see that doctor. Thanks to Dean Carter’s relationship, the other party decided to make an exception to see Adrian Holt.

"It’s okay, it’s not an urgent life-threatening illness."

Adrian Holt and Serena Summers alike, didn’t care much about this.

After all, memory is just some intangible thing, and even if the old memories are gone, they can still create new ones.

This could also be a different kind of romance.

Moreover... Mason Parker probably never imagined that even if he forgot Serena Summers, he would still fall in love with her.

The interactions between the two of them haven’t changed much from two years ago. If there has to be a difference, it’s probably that they’ve become even more inseparable.

Now with the elder brother managing the Shaw Group, Adrian Holt finally has some free time. He sticks with Serena Summers every day as if he cannot get enough.

By contrast, Mason Parker is somewhat at his wits’ end. First was Adrian Holt’s betrayal, and then the two groups of men he sent out were both arrested.

Now even the National Security Department has been alerted, and the nature of the matter has suddenly changed.

Ever since the incident two years ago, their operations within the country have been limited, and now they are even more restricted.

Fortunately, over these two years, they have been expanding their influence abroad.

Moreover, he still has some small bargaining chips in his hand. Even if he can’t bring down Serena Summers and Adrian Holt, he can still cause them some trouble.

Just then, she received a phone call.

Seeing who the caller was on the phone, Mason Parker laughed scornfully.

—The bait has come to the doorstep.

"Hello? Mrs. Shaw? How’s it going with the task?"

In the Ryan house, Elena Ryan hid in her room, looking panicked and anxious, "Mason Parker, I’ve already relayed the message you told me to deliver to him. What should I do next?"

"You’ve done well," Mason Parker praised.

Elena Ryan, who had been tense all the time, slowly let out a breath of relief upon hearing Mason Parker say so.

She asked eagerly: "Mason Parker, when will you tell me about Vincent’s news? Please, let me see him."

Mason Parker’s expression suddenly turned dark, and he chided sharply: "What’s the hurry? Now is not the time. Do what you need to do, and I will naturally let you see him."

Elena Ryan was startled by his stern tone and dared not even breathe heavily.

"I, I won’t ask anymore, please don’t hurt him, I beg you..."

Mason Parker’s expression softened, and he laughed lightly in denial: "Mrs. Shaw is kidding. How could I possibly harm Mr. Shaw? I’m protecting Mr. Shaw."

"Have you forgotten what I told you before? Whose fault is it that Vincent Shaw ended up in this situation?"

"Lucas Shaw, it’s Lucas Shaw’s fault!"

Elena Ryan abruptly sat up from the bed, screaming hysterically, the well-maintained face showing a hideous and terrifying expression.

Upon hearing this, Mason Parker revealed a satisfied smile, coaxing gently: "That’s right, all your suffering is brought to you by Lucas Shaw, you were kicked out of the Shaw Family because of Serena Summers."

Lucas Shaw, Serena Summers...

Elena Ryan kept murmuring these two names incessantly, her heart filled with towering hatred, her hands gripping her skirt turning white at the knuckles.

Mason Parker chuckled, encouraging: "Yes, only by making them pay a painful price will you truly be free."

Elena Ryan, as if bewitched, followed Mason Parker’s instructions.

After hanging up the phone, Mason Parker’s face immediately darkened, casting aside all pretenses.

Elena Ryan’s mind had been stimulated, and during her most vulnerable moment, they had hypnotized her.

When she woke up again, she became an obedient dog, never going west if told to go east.

Lucas Shaw probably could never imagine that, from the moment he was born, his fate had been controlled by them.

All his struggles now are just the thrashing of a trapped beast.

Soon he would make him understand that no matter how hard he tries, he will never escape from the palm of their hand.

To the organization, he is just an ant that could be stomped out at any moment.

Elena Ryan felt as if something in her brain was roaring to burst out, frantically tearing at her nerves.

Eventually, she even lost the capacity for self-thought.

Her mind was left with only one thought: to make Lucas Shaw and Serena Summers pay the price!
