No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1511

Alfred's heart sank as he realized that the worst had really happened. "You can't think that! This is exactly what Carl wanted to happen, so that you'd stop looking for Noelle."

Carl's plan would have succeeded the moment Cedric began to forget about Noelle. Even though no one wanted this to happen, they were unable to prevent it after three years.

Cedric smiled bitterly. "I've been reminding myself over and over again not to forget her for the past three years.

"But every time I wake up in the morning, my feelings for her, as well as my memory of her face, begin to fade a little more. I've told myself to never forget her, but I don't know how much longer I can hold on."

He poured himself a glass of wine and continued, "Only alcohol could remind me to keep holding onto this feeling. The more sober I am, the faster I forget about her!"

Alfred was left speechless. He had witnessed Cedric's struggle for the past three years. They had all truly done the best they could.

But the worst-case scenario had still happened. Cedric was gradually forgetting about Noelle.

Alfred did not realize that Cedric had long been aware of the changes to his memory, and yet still decided to bear it all alone. Now that Cedric had spoken it aloud, it meant that he had reached the point where he could no longer bear it.

Seeing how much Cedric was suffering, Alfred asked, "Then, what's the reason that's keeping you going now?"

He wondered why Cedric still spent all these years searching for Noelle if he was already starting to forget about her.

Cedric replied, "Hatred, of course. How could I not get my revenge after what the Liddells had done to me? Even if I forget about my feelings for Noelle, I'll never forget about how the Liddells had ruined me."

Sure enough, hatred was the only thing that could make someone remember something forever. Cedric's personality had completely changed. He was not the man he was before.

Perhaps hatred really was the only thing keeping him from giving up on the search. Perhaps Cedric would only remember his feelings for Noelle when he finally found and saw her in person again.
