"So, you remember everything now, right?" My father reached out and gently stroked the top of my head, his eyes revealing a deep concern and paternal love. I tilted my head slightly to look at his weathered yet kind face, and a complex emotion surged within me.
I bit my lip and then nodded gently in response. A flicker of relief crossed my father's eyes, but it quickly turned serious again.
"Tell me the truth, what are you planning to do now?" His voice was low and firm, as if waiting for an important answer from me. My throat felt dry, and the words I had prepared suddenly caught in my throat. I hesitated for a moment, a hint of worry rising in my heart. I didn't know how to express my true feelings, fearing that I might disappoint or worry him. However, I also understood that at this moment, I needed to be honest and face this issue together with my father.
So I gathered my courage and said softly, "Dad, I've made my decision. This time, I think I won't be wrong."
My father patted my shoulder and said gently, "Child, I know this isn't easy for you. But you must trust your heart. No matter what decision you make, I'll always be by your side to support and encourage you."
"Dad, during this time, I don't want to go back to B City. I'll submit my resignation. I want to stay in City Z."
"Alright, I'll talk to your aunt about it; we'll go home tomorrow."
While my father and I were talking in the room, the people in the living room were not idle either. Shen Yulin sat on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another, while my aunt sat quietly without speaking. Uncle broke the silence: "Is everything settled at the company?" Shen Yulin replied affirmatively.
"The agreement was that once Xiao Fan regained her memory, you would leave. Now it's time to fulfill that promise!" Uncle's words were like a cold wind on a winter night, chilling and merciless. His indifferent gaze seemed to tell Shen Yulin that nothing could change this.
However, Shen Yulin was not crushed by this chill. He straightened up and responded without backing down: "What was said that day doesn't count!" His tone was firm and powerful, as if declaring his determination to Uncle.
"It was originally agreed that I would help restore Xiao Fan's memory; after that, I would leave. But now her memory has recovered on its own due to stimulation; it has nothing to do with me. I'm not leaving!" Shen Yulin's gaze was piercing as he fixed his eyes on Uncle, seemingly trying to see into his innermost thoughts.
"Nothing to do with you?" My aunt suddenly stood up, her voice rising slightly. Her face was filled with surprise and anger; she clearly found Shen Yulin's response very unsatisfactory. She never expected him to so resolutely go against their initial agreement.
"If it weren't for you, would she have become like this? A girl who was once vibrant like a flower—innocent and lovely—has now turned into this; how can you still say it has nothing to do with you? I've known you for many years since marrying your brother; how have you become so detestable now? Is it that you're too good at disguising your true self or were we all too foolish and blind to be deceived by your false appearance?" My aunt spoke in a torrent of anger and disappointment.
Uncle was about to add something when he saw my father walk out of the room. "Go in; she wants to talk to you alone." A glimmer of surprise flashed in Shen Yulin's eyes as he quickly got up and walked into the room.
