Chapter 773
Rosalie couldn’t help but blush as she recollected her bold actions in the car earlier.
Truth be told, she never anticipated behaving that way. It was as if everything had felt so natural after meeting with
Jonathan.
However, she had entirely forgotten that there was a group of people waiting outside the car!
Consequently, when she stepped out of the car to bring Jennifer with her, the expressions on those people’s faces
carried a hint of suggestive curiosity, clearly speculating about what had transpired inside the vehicle.
Jennifer was quite straightforward. She immediately asked, “Mommy, why were you and Daddy in the car for so
long? Were you telling Daddy stories?”
Rosalie was so taken aback that she nearly choked on her saliva. Whenever Jennifer used to feel upset, Rosalie
would tell her stories to divert her attention, and it had become a habit.
Jennifer probably figured that Jonathan was tearing up from sorrow, so Rosalie went to tell him stories to cheer him
up.
“Yes… um… I was just telling Daddy some stories,” Rosalie replied awkwardly. Upon Rosalie’s words, the people
around her began to cast even more suggestive glances her way.
Now, as Rosalie returned to the Youngblood residence, the former housekeepers who had served her before were
all taken aback at the sight of her. The butler, Gary, was particularly overwhelmed, stumbling over his words. “Mrs.
Youngblood, you’re alive… you’re truly alive! This is wonderful, you’re not dead, you’re not dead!”
“Yes, Gary, I am still alive,” Rosalie replied. “I’m sorry, I promised you back then that I wouldn’t leave Jon, but I
still…”

Jonathan headed straight upstairs upon returning to the Youngblood residence. Meanwhile, facing the butler and
the one who had accompanied her back to the Youngblood residence, Carlos, Rosalie asked, “Jon keeps mentioning
that I left him back then. What exactly happened?”
As Rosalie spoke, both Gary and Carlos widened their eyes and stared at her in astonishment. “You don’t
remember?”
“Well, I… I had amnesia for quite a while. It was only in the past two years that I gradually started recalling some
things from the past. And just a week ago, I finally remembered Jon, so I returned to Strico,” Rosalie explained her
situation

briefly. “The most recent memory I recovered was spending New Year’s Eve with Jon, but afterward, I have no
recollection.”
It was as if her memories had fragmented, just like when one had been drinking and couldn’t remember certain
parts.
Gary and Carlos exchanged helpless glances, and eventually, Carlos asked Rosalie, “You lost your memory too?”
“What do you mean ‘too’?” Rosalie furrowed her brows. “Did Jonathan…”
“Yes, Mr. Youngblood lost his memory too. However, up to this point, he hasn’t recalled anything on his own.
Everything he knows about you, he learned from us later,” Carlos explained.
“But, is it just a coincidence that we both lost our memories?” Rosalie couldn’t help but find it unbelievable.
“Mr. Youngblood losing his memory was not a coincidence,” Carlos explained. They were currently in the living room
with only Carlos, Gary, and Rosalie present, which gave Carlos the confidence to speak openly.
After all, only a few people were privy to this matter.
“Back then, when you fell into the sea, Mr. Youngblood nearly went mad. Later, Mr. Wilmer brought a child and your
ashes to Mr. Youngblood. Mr. Youngblood held your ashes and was tormented by grief. If we hadn’t made him forget
you at that time, he might not have been able to continue living!”
Rosalie was astounded by Carlos’s words.
With a heavy heart, she couldn’t help but ponder, “What kind of memories did I leave behind? Did Jonathan truly
come close to losing his sanity at that time, to the point of being unable to move forward with his life?”
“What exactly happened? Why did I fall into the sea?” Rosalie asked anxiously. She desperately wanted to know the
nature of the memories she had yet to recover. Carlos proceeded to explain in great detail the circumstances
surrounding Rosalie’s fall into the sea, and then he continued, “During that period, when Mr. Youngblood was left
holding your ashes, he appeared utterly lost and disconnected from reality. Ultimately, Mr. Wilmer suggested
erasing Mr. Youngblood’s memories of you as the only means for him to move forward and rebuild his life.”
“Erase? How do you erase memories? Only the memories related to me?”
“Using hypnosis,” Carlos explained. “At that time, Mr. Wilmer found a skilled hypnotist who successfully erased the
memories concerning you. However, occasionally, there are still some fragments of your past in Mr. Youngblood’s
mind. It’s just that his feelings for you might…”
At this point, Carlos seemed somewhat apologetic as he cast a sympathetic glance toward Rosalie. Despite
Jonathan’s deep love for Rosalie in the past, the current amnesiac Jonathan probably no longer held the same
sentiments.

Nevertheless, this was all theoretical.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmToday, when Jonathan and Rosalie encountered each other, he surprisingly shed tears and even willingly offered
Rosalie a ride in his car. These actions led Carlos to believe that, despite the memory loss, Jonathan’s feelings for
Rosalie were still unique.
Rosalie took a deep breath, finally understanding why Jonathan’s attitude had been this way today.
“Jon… He’s forgotten everything about the love we once shared. But as long as he’s alive, that’s what truly matters.
Even if those memories are lost, it doesn’t matter,” Rosalie whispered to herself.
“If I fell into the sea back then, why did Jon believe I had left him?” Rosalie asked, her confusion evident.
Carlos’s expression grew even more uncomfortable. “Well… at that time, Mr. Wilmer believed it was best to avoid
triggering any strong emotions in Mr. Youngblood, who had been hypnotized. If he were to learn about your fall into
the sea, it might have been too emotionally overwhelming for him, potentially even driving him to madness. So, we
told Mr. Youngblood that you left him directly after giving birth to your children because you had discovered the
truth about the old case. However, you met with an unfortunate accident while leaving and tragically passed away.”
Rosalie pressed her lips together and thought, “So that’s what they told him! No wonder Jon had been behaving that
way.”
In the days to come, it appeared that Rosalie had a lot to contend with. Nevertheless, even if Jonathan had
forgotten her and misunderstood her, she was resolute in her determination to reignite his love for her while he
remained unattached.
“By the way, does Jon have someone he’s interested in now?” Rosalie asked.
“No, absolutely not!” Carlos quickly stated. Over the past five years, even though Jonathan had forgotten about
Rosalie and had no intention of committing to her, he had refrained from romantic entanglements, leading a
celibate life.
“What about Ms. Sabatini? Online rumors are suggesting that Jon adopted Wrenna because of Ms. Sabatini,” Rosalie
asked.
