Chapter 787
It was at this moment that Gwen’s phone started ringing. She froze when she saw that it was Sean who
was calling her.
She couldn’t believe her eyes. How did he know that she had been about to call him? In her daze, she
missed the call.
A wave of panic washed over her. She hesitated, wondering if she should call him back. Just then, her
phone rang once again.
Sean was calling her again. Her heart swarmed with relief. This time, she no longer hesitated. She quickly
answered the call.
However, she regretted her decision the moment the call went through.
“Gwen.” It was obvious from his tone that Sean hadn’t expected her to answer the phone.
He was still in a daze as he realized that his call hadn’t gone unanswered.
“Yes?” said Gwen.
“Did you want to say something?”
“You…” Sean inhaled sharply.
“I-I want to apologize to you. I didn’t mean to snap at you when we were at the clinic that day.’
Gwen straightened her back, stunned at his words.
“Kirk lied to Caroline. He’s at fault, and I joined hands with him to lie to you two. I was wrong,” he said.
“That day-”
“It’s not your fault.” Gwen interrupted him.
“You weren’t wrong… under such circumstances at least.”
She continued, “Thank goodness Kirk went in that day. Otherwise, I would have hated myself for the rest
of my life.”
Sean fell silent for a long time afterward, and Gwen’s other hand subconsciously went to her phone so.
that both her hands were gripping it now.
“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

“No…” Sean finally came back to his senses.
“I… I thought that you were still mad at me. I never thought that you would-”
“What now?” Gwen pursed her lips.
“You didn’t think that I was reasonable enough to think things through, huh?”
“I didn’t say that,” Sean told her.
“You said it yourself.”
“You meant that, obviously.” Scoffing, Gwen stood up and walked to the balcony.
Her tone turned lighter when she spoke again. “How’s Kirk? He must have seen the news about Carol and Eddy’s engagement by now.”
“Yeah.” Sean sounded grim.
“He’s probably at the boxing gym right now.”
Gwen sighed. “How did things come to this? Do you think it’s a good thing that Carol lost her memories
now?”
Sean couldn’t answer. “Based on our understanding of her, she would surely marry Eddy out of spite after
finding out that Kirk lied to her.
“We anticipated this, after all. At least she doesn’t know that Kirk lied to her for now.”
He continued, “In a way, it seems to be a good thing.”
Gwen smiled wryly, but it didn’t reach her eyes. It was as though her eyes had lost its luster.
“Do you think Carol will remember Kirk in the future then?”
Sean couldn’t give her an answer. They both fell silent as they stared up at the night sky.
A while later, Sean broke the silence. “Gwen, can we get back together?”
He subconsciously held his breath after posing the question.
With her phone in one hand, Gwen quirked an eyebrow.
A moment of silence passed, and she said, “Sean, you have to be frank with me. Is there anything else,
that you’re hiding from me apart from Kirk’s identity?”
“No! I have absolutely nothing to hide from you!”
