Chapter 295 Mamie was waiting for Agnes in her lounge room, obviously.
Agnes put down her handbag and said, âIs there anything you want from me?â
âAgnes, I still want to apologize to you.â
âYouâre here to apologize on behalf of your brother, right? Let the past be the pastâ
Mamie seemed to be in a complicated mood, âI now finally get why Jared is so into you. Your tolerance is really something not everyone has.â
Agnes chuckled, âActually, I can be quite petty too. I just let you guys owe me a favor intentionally, in case I need something from you down the line.â
Mamie also laughed, âNo worries, Iâve already figured it out over the past few days. Jared has never actually loved me. Seeing his attitude towards you, thatâs when I realized he only treats me like a brother treats his sister, and you and him, youâre the real deal. Do you know what? Even though weâve been together for years in name, heâs never been jealous for meâ
Agnes sat quietly, listening to her story.
A hint of helplessness showed on the corners of Mamieâs mouth, âI know it in my heart, but I just canât bring myself to let go. Do you know why I like Jared? When I was five, I was pushed from the top of a villa and fell into a swimming pool. I almost drowned.
It was Jared who saved me. Actually, I was unconscious at the time I couldnât see his face clearly, only remembering the feeling of drowning. I remember grabbing his collar, like grabbing a lifesaver. When people are desperate, they form excessive dependence. He is my hero, so Iâve always loved him.â
Agnes suddenly frowned. Thereâs something I probably should tell you.â
Mamie paused, âWhatâs that?â
âAbout your drowning incident when you were five. I later asked Jared, and what he said seemed to be a bit different from what you remember.â
Mamieâs face changed, âWhat did you say?â
âJared said, the one who saved you from the water wasnât him, but your brother. He was a step too late. When he arrived. He saw Ivan trying to resuscitate you like crazy. You were underwater for four minutes. Your brother thought you couldnât be saved, and almost went crazy.â
Mamie was stunned.
How could this be possible?
Mamie, incredulous, said, âBut my brother canât swim.â
âJared said, he also didnât know how Ivan got you out. He definitely couldnât swim then, but he was soaked to the bone. Who else could it be?â
Mamie seemed to be greatly shocked.
For all these years, in her memory, that shadowy teenager was always Jared Mamie muttered to herself, âBut when I opened my eyes back then, the first person I saw was Jared.â
Agnes sighed, âThatâs because Ivan, seeing you regain consciousness, couldnât control himself and ran into the yard crying. He thought he had lost you.â
Mamie was completely stunned, as if enchanted. How could this be? For so many years, Jared had always been her superhero.
Because of this, she could never convince herself to give up chasing him.
Even though she was only five then, but up until now, she still remembered the feeling of drowning vividly. Every time she thought of that moment, she still felt the deep despair and fear Rather than saying she loved Jared, itâs more accurate to say that she saw him as a life-saving support.
But she had mistaken the person. Her superhero was actually Ivan, her brother who had always been protecting her with his life.
