Chapter 443
When William returned, Winter had finally stopped throwing up.
Wendy had arrived a few minutes before him and was wiping Winter’s face. Mr. White stood nearby with red eyes, silently cleaning up the mess on the floor.
“What exactly is wrong with her p>
After Winter had fallen asleep, William pulled her primary physician and the consulting psychiatrist out into the hallway. The second he spoke, he realized his voice was shaking violently.

William slapped himself hard.
Based on how often she had filled the prescriptions and what the doctors had noted at the time, she had only been showing signs of depression back then.
The real trigger for her current breakdown was remembering the memories Chris had erased through hypnosis five years ago.

There was no such thing as a secret that stayed hidden forever, especially when Chris had people watching Winter’s every move. So by the time William stormed into the room, Chris was already out of bed. He hadn’t even put on slippers and was about to go
find Winter.
“Why are you so selfish p>
William rushed forward, grabbed Chris by the collar, and shouted, “Since you had someone hypnotize her and erase her memories, why didn’t you make her forget you too? If she had forgotten you, she would have disappeared from your life completely. She never would have remembered what happened five years ago!
“She is like this now because of you p>
William didn’t blame Chris for having Winter hypnotized five years ago.
He now knew Winter had already been depressed back then. Chris had erased her memories to save her. Otherwise, she might not have survived that year.
But William hated him for not going far enough.
He should have made her forget him completely.
“Your selfishness destroyed her!” William shoved Chris away hard.

If Chris hadn’t been selfish, if he hadn’t let Winter keep the memory of loving him, she wouldn’t have given up her chance to go abroad. She wouldn’t have stayed by his side to take care of him after he went blind. She wouldn’t have insisted on marrying
him.
And in the end, she wouldn’t have been left with wounds all over her body and soul.
Chris staggered back under the force of William’s shove, his badly injured body barely staying upright.
Gavin and Dominic immediately stepped forward to support him/
But Chris brushed their hands away, steadied himself, and walked toward the door without a word.
It was obvious he was going to Winter’s room.
William’s voice turned cold.
“Are you trying to kill her p>
Chris froze.
William stared at his back and said with finality, “If you can’t let her go, then don’t see her. Otherwise, you really will destroy
her. ”
Chris’s tall figure went rigid where he stood.
