I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 642

Steven’s scolding left my head spinning. My heart seized for a moment before starting to pound violently in my chest, and my eyes instantly welled up.

“Why are you yelling at me? Do you think I wanted to lose my memory? How was I supposed to know some medication would mess with my brain? I’m the one who’s in pain, helpless, and completely lost right now!”

“I’ve had enough of you! All you do is play games, lie to me, yell at me, and now you’re threatening me! We’re divorced. If you don’t want to help me, you can just leave. We can draw a line and have nothing to do with each other! Why do you keep helping me just to tear me down? You’re making everyone miserable. I hate you!”

My voice cracked with a sob as I spoke, the feeling of injustice overwhelming me. I’d been walking on eggshells around him for days, and nothing I did was ever right. He claimed to like me, but who shows affection like this?

“I’m packing my things and leaving right now. Whatever you paid for me—the medical bills, the room—I’ll pay you back every cent, even if I have to borrow the money! I never want to be near you again. You’re nothing but a bastard!”

With that, I threw open the car door and stormed out, not looking back. Gordon stared at me, utterly bewildered. “Ma’am?”

I wiped away my tears without looking at him, just fuming as I walked forward.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed my wrist. A sharp, masculine voice sounded by my ear. “Zephyra.”

I tried to yank my hand away, but Steven’s grip was too strong; it was impossible to break free. His fingers dug into my wrist, sending a sharp pain through me. I looked up at him, my eyes swimming with tears.

“What do you want? Are you going to yell at me again? Did I ask for this amnesia? I can’t imagine I’m the type of person who would willingly take a pill to forget everything. I hate this feeling of not knowing anything. Right now, I don’t even know if I ever went to college, how old I am, or when my birthday is. I don’t know if anyone besides you even cares about me, or if anyone is looking for me.”

“What’s the difference between me and an idiot right now? At least an idiot who manages to survive has a family to protect them. What do I have? Steven, I’ve… I’ve been trying so hard not to make you angry. You can’t just bully me like this.”

“If I really did want to forget everything, it must mean I hated my past. I must have been so disgusted, so heartbroken that I didn’t want to remember anyone or anything!”

“It must mean there was nothing in this world worth holding on to, nothing I cared about—including you!”
