Chapter 565:
Nearby, Josue and Jacob heard the commotion and rushed over, stunned by Eileenâs disheveled appearance.
Josue immediately moved to help her, asking, âWhy do you have to go through thisâ¦?â
He trailed off, not because he was lost for words, but because Eileenâs tear-filled, piercing gaze silenced him. It was as if she could see through him, exposing all the lies he had ever told her.
With a deep sigh, Josue said, âLetâs go back to the hotel for now.â
This time, Eileen didnât object, though she didnât accept Josueâs help either. She pushed him away gently, walking unsteadily toward the car. She opened the door and got inside without a word.
Josue and Jacob exchanged a look, their faces filled with mutual resignation.
At the hotel, Josue paced back and forth across the room.
Jacob massaged his forehead, muttering, âStop pacing. Youâre making me dizzy.â
âEileen finally found Bryan after searching for him for three months,â Josue said, sitting beside Jacob. His voice was filled with despair. âWhat do we do now?â
Josue sat down beside Jacob, his voice filled with despair, saying, âI can stand to see her so heartbroken.
âBut Bryan canât go back with her. How can we convince her to give up?â
Jacob responded, âGo talk to her.â
âStop!â Josue interjected bitterly. âIn her eyes, Iâm the villain. She wonât listen to a word I say now.â

He stood, left the room, and knocked on Eileenâs door before entering.
To his surprise, Eileen appeared composed. Her eyes were slightly swollen, but her face was dryâno traces of tears.
He took this as a positive sign, though his heart sank when he noticed the untouched dinner on the table. He sighed.
âThereâs no need to sigh,â Eileen said calmly, though her voice carried a hint of sorrow. âFinding him is a blessing. Iâm actually very content.â
She was quiet and despondent, her words tinged with sadness.
Jacob felt a pang of empathy. Bryan knew Eileen well. He must understand the pain she was enduring. What turmoil was Bryan experiencing now?
After a moment, Jacob spoke softly, âEileen, just give up.â
Eileen didnât respond. Instead, she fixed her gaze on him, silent.
Jacob continued, his voice full of concern. âYouâve seen Bryanâs condition. Itâs not just badâitâs terrible. He doesnât want to remember anything from his past and resists anything related to it. If you continue pushing him, I fear it will only make things worse.â
When Eileen remained silent, Jacob added, âThe doctors said his memory loss is due to extreme stress. If you keep pressuring him, it could be fatal.â
âDo you think Iâll make him die?â Eileenâs voice was quiet but filled with emotion.
Jacob started to reply, but she interrupted him, her tone steady but filled with sorrow.
