Chapter 1222
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
A heated discussion sparked in the crowd, and the woman had a horrified expression.
âGoodness gracious! Who is the person I offended today? Since he dared to speak to Mr. Gunner in that manner, he cannot possibly be of ordinary status!â she exclaimed inwardly.
Meanwhile, outside the bar, Calvin watched as Warren, with his bruised face, prepared to get into a car alone. He said, âWhy donât you ride in my car? I can send you back. Youâre injured right now, and it might be inconvenient for you to drive.â
Warren declined, saying, âNo need.â However, as he opened the car doo he suddenly turned and asked, âDo you really love Rosalie that much?â
Calvinâs expression subtly changed. âSince when did you become interested in someone elseâs personal feelings, Mr. York?â
âWhat if there is a way to hypnotize you into forgetting your feelings for her? Would you be willing?â
Warren continued.
âMr. York, I donât understand what you mean,â Calvin replied.
âThere is a type of hypnosis that can make emotions fade but not erase memories. Those memories will become like a movie, and you will be a mere spectator, no longer experiencing the emotional ups and downs of an unrequited love. Would you like to be hypnotized?â Warren inquired.
Calvin coldly responded, âI wouldnât want it. I do not know what is left of me if even this deep and unforgettable feeling I bore for her is gone.â
âSo, even if you canât be with that person in this lifetime, you would still hold onto this meaningless feeling?â
âDo you think this kind of feeling is useless? It would be truly pitiful if I lost even this kind of feeling. For me, even if itâs painful, at least it allows me to know that I can love someone in this way.â Calvinâs gaze landed on Warrenâs bruised face, and his eyes seemed to carry a hint of sympathy.
After hearing that, Warren remained silent. Calvinâs response was unexpected.
âMr. York, since you donât need a ride, letâs part ways here,â Calvin said, turning to leave and getting into another car not far away.
11:28 Inside the car, Calvinâs phone rang. He answered the call, and after listening for a moment, he furrowed his brows. âKeep a close watch on them, and find out everything about the surroundings, including the security system and the number of people inside.â
âUnderstood,â the person on the other end of the phone responded.
Next, Calvin put his phone away and looked through the car window, seeing that Warren had also gotten into his car.
Calvin watched as Warrenâs car left and went into deep thought. He never expected Warren to ask such a question.
âA way to make me forget about my feelings for her?â he pondered.
In fact, he had never considered abandoning his feelings for Rosalie.
His feelings for her lasted throughout his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and he expected them to last until the end of his life.
âI cannot bear forgetting my feelings for you, Rosalie, and how much wish life could start over. If I had a second chance, I would never have le go of your hand. I would ask for your name and address, and then we could grow up together. I would make you fall in love with me before you fell in love with Jonathan,â Calvin muttered softly.
Those wishes, however, would never come true for him.
Once a person had passed up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it could never be reclaimed. Some regrets were destined to last a lifetime.
While Warren was driving back to the hotel, he couldnât help but think about Calvinâs words.
âWhatâs left of me if even this deep and unforgettable feeling I bore for her is gone?â he repeated in his mind.
Even without the pain of unrequited love, he could not shake the feeling of emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost something vital.
When Warren pushed open the hotel room door, he noticed that the lights were still on and Amelia was leaning on the couch, not yet asleep.
âYouâre back,â she said. As soon as her gaze fell on the bruises and injuries on his face from the fight, she was taken aback. She hurriedly approached him, her face filled with concern. âW-What happened to your face? Did something happen? Did you drink?â
11:28 The scent of alcohol emanating from him reached her nostrils as she got clokoser.
âI had hittle. You should go to sleep first. Iâll freshen up,â Warren replied.

She continued to squeeze some ointment on her fingers and spread it evenly across his face.
The warmth of her fingertips seemed to seep into his heart through his skin, and Warren felt himself becoming somewhat disoriented.
It was at that moment that her fingers suddenly moved to undo his bathrobe. He snapped back to his senses, grabbing her hand firmly. âWhat are you trying to do?â
She stammered, âWell, I just wanted to see if there were any injuries on your body. If there are, we can apply ointment to them as well.â She reasoned that if he had injuries on his face, he should also have injuries on his body.
