They claimed he didn't hate Joyce, as she was the love of his life.

However, he kept brainwashing himself by telling himself he hated Joyce and harbored no

feelings of love for her. Eventually, he was able to convince himself that he truly despised

Joyce.

He had refused to believe Shane and Sean at first.

It wasn't until he coincidentally encountered Joyce a second time that Sean's and Shane's

words began to reverberate in his mind. Suddenly, he found himself overwhelmed with the

realization that he truly loved her.

This time, Stanley discovered with a start that he no longer despised her as much. In fact,

he wanted to ask her why she forgot about him.

But before he could say anything, Jonathan's punch had come at him.

To his utter shock, he had seen Joyce standing rooted to her spot, staring at him as though

he were a stranger to her.

She was currently giving him the same stare now.

Stanley lifted his head and fixed his gaze on Joyce.

Sensing his gaze, Joyce trembled involuntarily as a chill ran down her spine.

She knew that this feeling of fear originated from her past self and did not reflect her

current state of being.

However, that didn't stop her from grabbing Jonathan's arm and hiding behind him.

Stanley's eyes narrowed in shock as panic crept up his heart.

I-Is she that afraid of me?

Jonathan knew that Joyce was afraid of Stanley, so he gave the latter a furious glare. He

stepped in front of Joyce, creating a barrier between her and Stanley.

Stanley pursed his lips and said nothing.

Right then, the doctor had already given Stanley a checkup.

Joyce asked in Ustranian, “Doctor, how is he?”

She pointed at Stanley as she posed that question.

Although Stanley was not facing her directly, a spark of interest lit up his expression when

he heard her inquiry.

Is she concerned about me?

The doctor pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, “The patient is awake

and out of any immediate danger. With a few days of rest and recuperation, he should be

ready to be discharged from the hospital.”

“Got it. Thank you, doctor,” Joyce responded gratefully.

After the doctor left, she recounted her conversation to Jonathan.

Jonathan nodded in acknowledgment.

His gaze then landed on Stanley. “You're lucky enough to survive, kid. You should thank

your lucky stars that this is a lawful society. Otherwise, I would've ended your life without

hesitation.”

Without saying anything, Stanley met Jonathan's gaze calmly. He showed no signs of being

afraid.

After all, he was prepared to die.

The so-called revenge he had clung to for more than ten years had been nothing more

than a huge lie. It had all been a colossal joke.

Everything he had done to the Riverses for the past decade or so had been in vain.

Recently, his parents had been appearing in his dreams, accusing him of repaying the

kindness that was shown to him by the Riverses with animosity.

Even his parents had been blaming him for hating the wrong family. They didn't show any

signs of hatred toward the Riverses.

Shane and Sean asserted that his animosity was not directed toward the Riverses, but

rather it was a manifestation of his own self-loathing.

His pride had prevented him from accepting that his entire life had been nothing more

than a cruel joke. He had come to the realization that the only way to put an end to this

torment was death.

In this way, the animosity that existed between him and the Rivers family, as well as any

debts owed to Joyce, would be resolved and cease to be a source of conflict.

He wasn't afraid of death, let alone Jonathan's death glare.

As Stanley remained unfazed, Jonathan was unsure what was going through his mind, and

he assumed Stanley had no regard for him. He huffed in frustration and snapped, “Joyce,

since he's awake now, let's go. There's no need for us to worry anymore.”

“Dad.” Joyce tugged at his sleeve and shook her head. “Dad, we can't leave. Don't forget

what we came here for.”
