Catherine did not show any other reactions, but Shaun was emotionally agitated.
In the past few days, he had found himself in a difficult dilemma about whether to see her or not. He dreaded seeing her, but he dearly missed her at the same time.
"Cathy, I'm sorry. I really didn’t know..."
Shaun began to explain like a lost kid, "I didn’t mean t o behave like that. I never thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen to me either. Sarah’s hypnosis was so powerful that it rewrote all my memories and made me hate you so much. That's why I was unaware of it..."
"So are you asking me to forgive you?" Catherine suddenly turned her head around, her tranquil eyes settling on his handsome face.
"I..." Awkward, Shaun did not know what to say. His eyes reddened in agony. "Cathy, I love you. My love for you has never changed..."
"Hah!"
Catherine finally laughed. "Shaun, even if you hadn't been hypnotized by Sarah, we might've already divorced by now."
Shaun was dazed. "That wouldn't be the case."
"It's funny how I'm the only one who remembers that relationship of ours. In truth, we started having issues with our relationship before that. When you were still clear-headed, you completely ignored me and would spend time with Sarah every day. When you guys went for gatherings, I would occasionally join but I was the most unwelcome person in your circle."
Catherine recounted the past happenings, "You simply let your friends throw mud at me and attack me. You'd forever stand up for Sarah rather than me. You thought that I was making a scene. When I got pregnant later, we hardly talked to each other.
Moreover, you were often not at home. I couldn't feel your care at all."
Shaun’s lashes fluttered weakly.
He had been under the impression that the two of them were very loving before this and it was Sarah who changed everything through her hypnosis.
It turned out that he had already been treating Catherine unreasonably before that.
Catherine continued, "I've long since known how cruel and wicked Sarah is. I had reminded you countless times to keep a distance from her, but you assumed that I was trying to tear you guys apart. You had too much trust in Sarah, which was also why she managed to hypnotize you.
