My Fiancé who Pretended to Have Amnesia Panicked When I left Him

But Jocelyn just murmured, “Maximilian, it hurts.”

Maximilian then left without looking back at me. My tears finally rolled down on my face. I just looked at the back figure getting farther away.

The festive living room was laced with Rosie's mottled blood. I thought of when I first met Rosie, she was also lying on the ground like this.

When I first started graduate studies, I was under a lot of pressure. I couldn't sleep all night. My hair also fell out by the handful.

Maximilian was worried about me. It made him often take me out for a walk. 

During a heavy rainstorm, I found a dying blue cat lying in the middle of the road. I couldn't bear to see it and rescue it. Because my favourite flower was Rose, I named it Rosie.

Maximilian also loved Rosie very much. He liked to buy a lot of snacks and toys. Because he had the cleanliness fetish, he also shovelled the poop of Rosie.

Every time I stayed at home alone and felt anxious, Rosie would always be quiet. She then stayed by my side. She then rubbed my hand with her head. But now everything is ruined. I was admitted to graduate school but Rosie is gone.

Rosie’s body temperature slowly disappeared. I held on to my last ounce of strength. I then called 911 for myself.

When I got to the operating room, they actually sent me to the hospital where Maximilian worked. The one who operated on me was Dr. Benjamin Siegfried, whom I knew.

“Does Dr. Maximilian know about my condition? Do you want to ask Dr. Maximilian to come and do your cleansing surgery?”

I pursed my lips and answered, “No need. He doesn't know.”

The nurse next to me timidly spoke, “Dr. Maximilian is accompanying Nurse Edvina Vesper for her face-to-face consultation.”

The scene was awkward for a moment. I just tried to still calm down.

Dr. Benjamin said, “It's better to inform Dr. Maximilian. After all, he also has the right to know.”

I finally agreed. Then I took a breath for a while.

“Dr. Maximilian, Mrs. Pauline had a miscarriage, you have to…”

But just as Dr. Benjamin opened his mouth, he sneered, “Can a miscarriage occur just by a gentle push? How much did Pauline Moonstone pay you to put on an act? I said I don't know her well, So, please leave me alone!”

The echo of beeping and his relentless taunts echoed through the operating room. I signed myself out and closed my eyes.

I opened my eyes. There were several messages on my cell phone.

Maximilian: [Pauline Moonstone, if you have time to find someone to act out why don't you come apologize to Jocelyn right now? If you don't apologize, I won't marry you.]

I forced myself to endure the pain in my lower abdomen. Then I walked outside the hospital by myself.

But at the entrance, I met Maximilian's mother. She was carrying a food box in her hand as well as fruits and flowers.

I thought she was visiting me. So, I subconsciously ducked. But she walked around in front of me.

“Are you here to pester my son again, Pauline? Let me tell you, my son doesn't even remember you at all now. The only person I have in my heart as my daughter-in-law is Jocelyn Reverie. If you know what’s good for you, get out of here and disappear.”

Maximilian's mother, Milena Larkspur, has never really looked up to me. She always thought that I relied on her son to support me after I graduated without a job. I realized that I wasn't as good as Maximilian Reitman's childhood friend, Jocelyn Reverie, who knew each other well and was a good match for Maximilian.

If Maximilian hadn’t almost threatened to die, the two elders would have agreed to our marriage. Now, though he had lost his memory, it was possible for me to tell the truth. 

Just in time, Maximilian Reitman came out. He was stunned when he saw me first. Meanwhile, I then looked at the wrinkles on his eyebrows.

“Pauline Moonstone, shouldn't you apologize for pushing someone?”

I answered, “I didn't push her, Maximilian. Why should I apologize? You two killed my cat and caused me to have a miscarriage. Shouldn't you be the one to apologize to me?”

Maximilian shouted to me, “Why are you so vicious, Pauline?  How can an animal be compared to a human? You even lied about your miscarriage. Come on, you're still a graduate student of the University of Glasgow, now you dare not admit that you pushed someone? I really don't know how I fell in love with you before, Pauline.”
