Chapter 3524: Chapter 3526

His voice paused, slowly turning his head and his gaze landed on her face. “And then, I understood why.”

In an instant, Veronica felt as though all the blood in her body was freezing under his gaze.

She could only hear his voice continuing to speak, word by word. “Because when you love someone too much, you see them as more important than your own life. If that person disappears, then your own life becomes insignificant.”

She struggled to swallow the saliva that suddenly accumulated in her throat. “But…what does this have to do with the misunderstanding between us?”

“Because I don’t want to love you too much anymore. I don’t want to end up with no hope, only despair,” he said. “So, Veronica, this is where we part ways.”

She froze, is this the end? Is he really going to distance himself from her completely?

From now on, he won’t be her brother or family anymore, he’ll just be Mason from the Reed family!

In an instant, a feeling of fear surged from the bottom of her heart! This fear and discomfort even surpassed the feeling she had when she broke up with Daniel.

No! She didn’t want this! If he was doing this because she only saw him as a brother, then she could even…

She took two steps forward, wanting to grab his hand, “But what if I don’t want this?”

But suddenly, he pulled his hand away, leaving her hand empty.

“What makes you think you have the right to want or not want anything right now?” he asked in return.

“Veronica, not every time do you hold the power to make the decisions!”

“Mason!” she cried out. “Can you really just end it all so easily? Can you just throw away all those years of our relationship?”

All those little moments they shared together were what had once supported their bond and strength throughout the years.

At this moment, Veronica tried to use their past emotions to dissolve the distance between them.

But his next words shattered all her hopes, “I can.”

He said this, and her eyes dimmed a little, her lips trembling as she asked, “Can you…?”

“Yes, I can, because those long-standing feelings you mentioned no longer exist in me now,” he said.

She stared at him blankly, feeling like he was a complete stranger. “What do you mean by that?” she asked.

“Do you know hypnosis?” he abruptly asked.

“Do you know about hypnosis?” he abruptly asked.

She furrowed her brows, feeling increasingly uneasy.

“Once, my mother and father were separated. My father thought my mother was dead and he was on the brink of madness. At that time, Secretary Wylie, who took me away, had my father hypnotized to forget about my mother’s existence. This way, my father didn’t go completely insane.”

Veronica didn’t understand why Mason suddenly brought this up. After all, he hadn’t forgotten about her! He knew who she was and remembered everything between them!
