CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1500

Natalie knew about the risks because she used to have a part of her memory erased.

Back when she was a child, she had witnessed the gruesome deaths of Shane's parents when she went out with her mother one day.

The gory scene was so traumatizing that she developed a high fever and kept having nightmares. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Eventually, her mother had no choice but to erase that traumatic memory with the help of a hypnotist.

Despite looking perfectly fine on the outside, the hypnosis had left a permanent side effect on her.

Because the hypnosis had caused some damage to her brain, Natalie would have headaches whenever she tried to recall memories from the past.

Joyce felt a warm sensation in her heart when she heard how worried Natalie sounded. “I know, but I don't regret it. I don't know what happened between Stanley and me now that I've forgotten about him, but I must've been in a lot of pain if I made that decision despite knowing the risks. I'm willing to deal with the consequences of my actions if it means I get to forget about him and be free from the pain.”

After taking a moment to calm herself down, Natalie sighed and asked, “Joyce, what made you decide to do such a thing?”

Joyce would never try to forget Stanley even though he hurt her countless times, so why would she do so now?

Joyce tilted her head as she replied, “I'm sorry, Nat. I have no idea because I don't remember it either.

Maybe I just couldn't stand it anymore. I may not know how much the old me loved Stanley, but I'm a lot happier now that I have forgotten about him. I've never felt so relieved in a long time, Nat! It's almost as if I've been cleansed! Do you understand what I mean? I really like the way I am now.”

Natalie couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh after hearing that.

One can only imagine the amount of pain Joyce must've been through if she feels this relieved after forgetting Stanley... Maybe Joyce has made the right decision, after all.

With that in mind, Natalie flashed a smile and said, “I understand, Joyce. Make sure to live a good life now that you've forgotten about Stanley, okay? Don't fall for him ever again!”

The smile on Joyce's face was slowly replaced by a look of guilt as she replied, “I will, Nat! I love the beautiful scenery here so much that I don't plan on leaving, so I won't be seeing Stanley anymore. I doubt I can fall in love with someone that I don't even see, can I? Still, I feel kind of bad for you, Nat. We promised to start our clothing brand together, but I won't be able to help you out now that I'm here.”

“Oh, that's what you're worried about? It's okay, Joyce. There are plenty of opportunities for us to work together in the future. Right now, you need to focus on taking good care of your health and giving birth to your baby. Everything else can wait. Who knows? I might set up branches where you live someday. You can manage them for me, then!” Natalie said with a chuckle.

Joyce nodded excitedly. “All right! I'll be waiting!”

The two of them then chatted for a little while longer before ending the call.

“So, what happened to Joyce?” Lina asked.

Natalie let out a sigh and told her everything that happened to Joyce.

Although Lina was shocked by what she heard, she was able to understand the reason behind Joyce's decision. “Joyce did the right thing. This is the only way for her to move on in life. She'll destroy herself if she continues to live with the pain that Stanley has caused her.”

Natalie nodded. “Yeah, you're right.”

“Still, I kind of admire Joyce's courage to put herself through something so extreme. People who are lovestruck don't typically want to forget the person they love, so I don't really understand her behavior,” Lina added.
