NovelEnglishChapter 1070: The three-year lapse in her memory felt like an insurmountable barrier. She had a gut feeling that everyone she needed to confront three years ago had already been dealt with. Yet, the explosion had happened suddenly, without warning.
Moreover, Caiden had escaped from the asylum, Joyce had resurfaced, and Alexander had seamlessly risen to the position of association president. Each of these events felt undeniably suspicious.
"But I believe you're in even greater danger," Carol muttered to herself, knowing that, regardless of the circumstances, Daniela always prioritized the safety of others over her own.

Cedric stopped at the entrance, pausing as he looked around.
Then, Alexander emerged from inside the restaurant. He had planned to catch up with Daniela but was momentarily distracted when he spotted Cedric.
Alexander cto a halt.
Even though Daniela had shut him down without hesitation, leaving no room for negotiation, he still radiated unwavering confidence. Clad in a tailored black suit, his features mirrored Cedric's, yet his presence carried an undeniable air of arrogance.
"What brings you here, Cedric?" Alexander sneered. "If I were you, I'd be at hfocusing on recovery-far away from Daniela. We're back in our country now. You wouldn't want people whispering about her being married to a cripple, would you? Tell me, do you honestly believe you still belong at her side?" Cedric's gaze turned ice-cold as he locked eyes with Alexander.
Alexander let out a low chuckle. "I know about your leg, Cedric. A man like you won't heal anytsoon, and even if you do, you'll never be the same. Daniela has a soft heart, but that doesn't mean you can manipulate her emotions for your own gain. You should step aside. Every relationship has its course, and yours with Daniela ended. It's tto move on. In the end, I'll be the one standing beside her." With a hearty laugh, Alexander turned and strode away.
Cedric remained at Elite Lux's entrance, his gaze lifting toward the building.

A wave of emotion crashed over Cedric.
The woman the world had declared dead was alive, standing just within reach. He expected nothing more-only gratitude filled his heart. Whatever choice Daniela made-even if it led to divorce-he would accept it without resistance.
If it was what she needed, he would endure anything.
Many times, Cedric had convinced himself he wasn't worthy of Daniela. He had stared at his reflection, at the injured leg, at the scars that carved stories into his skin.
It wasn't just his leg-the burns stretched across his body, leaving his hist skin rough, uneven, ruined.
He hid beneath high collars, his gait unsteady, trailing her from a distance. His pride lay in pieces, but he still couldn't walk away. Not until Daniela demanded a divorce. Otherwise, he would cling to the illusion, pretending he still had the right to stand beside her, pretending he was still her husband. That night, Cedric's car remained parked outside Elite Lux.
