Memory Of Love
Part 48's

I don't know what Aaron was thinking, until he was just silent, seemed to linger propping up his chin, by leaning his elbows in the hands of a chair, while his eyes occasionally seemed to move up and down.

"I—"

"I—"

When Casey spoke, Aaron let out his voice at once, until they both looked at each other, and stopped talking.

"What do you want to say?" ask Lionel.

"I want to talk to you alone" Casey told Lionel, ahead of Aaron.

Steve was seen immediately standing from his seat.

Meanwhile, Aaron still remained with the same position, so Lionel reprimanded him by saying,

"Aaron! ... You heard what Casey said, didn't you?"

Despite seeming objections, however, without commenting, Aaron then walked out of the room, together with Steve.

In search of solutions and additional thoughts, as a matter of consideration for him, Casey then tells about what happened, and all parts of his memory that have returned, to Lionel.

Without exception, Casey tells everyone, both about his relationship with Steve, and what he feels now, after he can remember every detail of the incident he experienced.

Lionel doesn't seem too surprised when Casey tells him that he's actually dating Steve.

But there was another backlash when Lionel heard that Casey had seen Julie, who might have been intimate with Aaron, and what Aaron had said was his self-defense, to Casey.

"So, that night, you were going to meet Aaron's parents" Lionel said. "But why did you have to go down that road? Do you remember that?"

"I went to a xxx restaurant. That's why, so I had to take a spinning path, to go to Aaron's parents' house" Casey replied.

"So, can it be said that you accidentally went through that road?" ask Lionel, again.

"No. If I don't turn around, then I won't go that way" Casey replied. "Why are you asking that question over and over again?"

"Casey! ... Your Grandpa should have told you. But, I don't think it'll be a problem, if I tell you now" Lionel replied.

"Your Grandpa thought you were going to kill yourself" Lionel continued.

"Ugh?" Casey. "Why can Grandpa think like that?"

"Your Grandpa hired a special detective to investigate your accident. You must understand what I mean, right?" said Lionel.

"Of course, everything that is thought to be related to your accident, is examined without exception. Including your phone, which stores a contact history that you had contact with, before the accident occurred....

...Aaron and Julie, have been under covert investigation. But I don't know the details of the actual investigation. All I know is your Grandpa blames Aaron's stupidity....

... In addition, your Grandpa also came to the presumptive conclusion, that you did intend to lose your own life. Because no suitable reason was found, until you get through the streets," continued Lionel.

After hearing Lionel's explanation, Casey was finally able to understand a little, what Daniel thought.

If the investigation is detailed enough, then most likely, Aaron did tell the truth, that he never had intercourse with Julie.

So at that time, Daniel once said to Casey, that Aaron is reliable.

Daniel who still seems pushy, for Casey to continue his marriage plans with Aaron, it is not just forcing his will.

Instead, so Casey can be with Aaron, who according to Daniel, that Aaron is a man loved by Casey, until Casey intends to commit suicide because of heartache.

But all of that is still Casey's guess, and to be sure, Casey must hear it directly from Daniel.

"Please get the phone out of my bag!" Casey.

Without lingering, Casey's bag was placed on a small table beside the bed, then taken by Lionel who sat on the edge of the bed, and gave it to Casey.

Casey picks up the phone, then tries to contact Daniel's contact, blabbing,

"I'll ask the Grandpa directly."

Lionel made no comment, and just looked at Casey there.

After a couple of turns, Daniel, who was greeting from across the phone, said, saying,

"Hello, Casey!"

"At home ... Grandpa was in the study room" replied Daniel.

"I want to talk about something. Grandpa's not busy, is he?" casey said again.

"No, Grandpa is not busy ... Grandpa only reads books" said Daniel. "What do you want to talk about?"

Casey then tells Daniel that his memory has returned in part, and that it is most important, because that memory was the event before Casey's accident.

In detail, until what he saw through a video call connection on his phone, when contacting Aaron that night, Casey told Daniel.

And Casey wanted to make sure what Daniel was thinking all along.

In keeping with what Daniel said at the time, if he was going to tell Casey, if Casey's memory came back, Daniel then spoke openly, about anything he knew, which was more or less the same, about the same thing, with what Lionel said.

"I can confirm it, Grandpa! That I had no intention of killing myself. I just wanted to cancel our engagement, because of what I saw on my phone" Casey said.

Daniel then fell silent for a while, before he finally said,

"Aaron is watching you, and most likely he's interested in you. Then, do you still want to cancel your engagement?"

"The grandpa! Didn't Grandpa hear what I said just now?!" casey said, insisting.

"Have you talked about it with Aaron?" ask Daniel, who still sounds calm.

"Aaron is evasive, and does not admit that he has had an excessive relationship with Julie. But what about a confession like that, and then he can be trusted?"

Casey spoke on his phone, shaking his head, because Daniel still sounded like defending Aaron.

"Casey...! Listen first...!" daniel said, as if to appease Casey. "Did Aaron agree, if your engagement was canceled?"

For a while, Casey was silent, until Daniel continued to say,

"That means true Grandpa's guess, that he would definitely disagree."

"Casey...! We can't undo your bond with Aaron. Because later, our family will be considered as insulting to the Hamilton family....

... You must understand what Grandpa means, right?" continued Daniel.

"But, Grandpa—" Casey had not yet finished his sentence, but Daniel had already interrupted him by saying,

"Did you know? Grandpa made a ban on Aaron, so he can't see you in the hospital. Because in the meantime, Grandpa is investigating Aaron, to find out the real character....

...However, even though Aaron has been banned, Aaron is still desperate to visit you in the hospital, secretly....

... Therefore, so that Grandpa could assume, that he was actually interested in you."

"Why does Grandpa seem to still justify his behavior?" ask Casey, frustrated.

"Casey...! You might think that Grandpa just defended her blindly, because Grandpa does not want you to cancel your engagement....

... But that's not the real reason. Grandpa was just trying to understand Aaron a little bit, after Grandpa got most of his personal information" Daniel replied.

"What does Grandpa know, but I don't?" ask Casey, curious.

"Aaron's just too stupid in love. And the woman who has been her lover since they went to college, just used Aaron" Daniel replied.

"That's enough! Grandpa doesn't need to tell you everything in detail. Because if you let go while talking to him...,

...then it is not closed the possibility, if Aaron will suspect, that there are deliberately spying on him all this time....

... To be sure, according to Grandpa, Aaron spoke honestly to you.

"So, Aaron remains reliable!" casey said, speaking sarcastically, in a cynical tone of voice.

"That's it! Grandpa suggested, that you first consider it carefully! If you still want to cancel your engagement, then Grandpa will agree to it....

...But on a note, however, Aaron must also agree with your wishes....

... Thus, there will be no misunderstanding between our family and the Hamilton family" Daniel continued.

"Huuufft...!" Casey grunts violently. "OKay! Bye, grandpa!"

"Bye, my dear! ... Grandpa loves you" said Daniel, then the phone line was cut off.
