Chapter 76

When Angeline left the laboratory at 7:30 pm to pick Henrietta up from Cloudsville High School, she was surprised to find Ned’s black SUV parked outside the laboratory building.

As she wrapped herself in a scarf, she descended the stairs that led to the laboratory. She heard Ned call out to her when she walked past his SUV.

“Angeline!”

She paused and huffed before she turned around,

Ned leaned against the car door, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers. He put out his cigarette and strode toward Angeline, whose hands were still tucked into her down jacket.

“It doesn’t matter if you believe me, but I didn’t know Gregory was your cousin. I had no idea he was coming before I came to the lab.”

Angeline had a bad reputation. When she woke up from her coma, she’d tried to get close to Ned to make him recall his memories.

However, that wasn’t the case this time.

“I know,” Ned replied, standing only a step away from her.

“I’m very sorry about Ms. York.”

Angeline clenched her fists in her pockets. It was the first time he apologized to her since losing his memory.

Ned frowned under the dim street lights. He stared into her calm and indifferent eyes, reminiscing the look they held when he kissed her that summer. A pang of frustration struck him when he remembered how her eyes had gleamed.

“I genuinely didn’t expect how dangerous that push on the sidewalk would be,” Ned continued in a clipped tone.

“I was too harsh that day. I was indeed the one who pushed Ms. York.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you done?” Angeline asked.

Ned didn’t quite understand what she meant.

“Ned, we’re no longer in a relationship. The best thing for us is to treat each other as strangers when we meet again,” she stated calmly.

He grabbed her arm just as she spun around to take her leave.

“I need to ask you something!”

Wrenching her arm away, she said, “Go ahead.”

“We didn’t have sex that night, did we?”

Ned had been pondering on this over the past few days. The truth serum Tommy provided wasn’t authentic, so he wasn’t sure if Angeline was telling the truth.

Especially when he first asked her, her initial response was to question him if he wanted it to happen.

“How else should I phrase it so you can firmly believe nothing happened between us that night? Will you only be relieved if I have sex with someone else?” Angeline snapped, her chest heaving with

anger.

Ned parted his lips slightly.

“I understood what you and Tommy said and took the truth serum as you wished. I also left Oceanford and never appeared before you and Ingrid again. Ned, what else must I do to rid you. from my sight?”

Ned watched Angeline leave in silence. She left unhesitatingly, and although he wanted to say something, no words came out of him to stop her.

Feeling extremely frustrated, he turned around to open the car door. He slammed it shut once he got in.

He knew Angeline would be here. Nevertheless, he still complied when his mother requested him to send Gregory to Cloudsville College.

Ned obviously hated her. The last person he’d want to see was probably her. He found her pestering to be highly bothersome.

He reckoned that it must be because he was already familiar with her presence.

He was already accustomed to her following him around, so he suddenly felt uneasy without

her.

He wasn’t sure if it was because he suddenly regained fragments of his memories with Angeline, but he felt intrigued to learn about their past.
