Chapter 375: His Greatest Act of Selfishness
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the inbox was an email address that she was familiar with.
It was Alan’s personal mailbox, not the one that was used for business affairs, so the emails he sent and received were also private. What private matter would Alan have with the person who sent her emails from that email address?
She could not help but glance at the date and time. It was three years ago, just a day before she was taken away by the killer.
There was a vague feeling in her heart and Samantha could not restrain herself anymore. Her hand had already held the mouse and she hovered the cursor on the email before clicking to open it.
By the time she snapped back to her senses, she had already laid eyes on the contents.
It was a very brief sentence: [Samantha is in danger.]
Samantha stared blankly and could feel a slight hum in her head.
In that case, Alan’s claim that he could only save her in time was because he happened to be in Aharramoggh and rushed over after receiving Vincent’s call…was untrue.
He had received the email in advance before going to Aharramoggh.
After Alan finished the phone call, he walked back from the balcony just in time to see Samantha sitting blankly on the sofa while staring at the laptop screen.
He was stunned for a moment but took two steps forward. When his eyes turned to the screen, his footsteps suddenly stopped again.
After a moment’s silence, Samantha finally lifted her eyelids slowly and looked at him.
She stretched out her hand, turned the computer screen toward him, and asked slowly, “You never told me about this email reminding you.”
Alan looked at her silently for a few seconds and said softly, “Because I didn’t know at first whether the email’s contents were true or false. I just went to Aharramoggh just in case. Of course, I’m very glad that I went because otherwise...I’d never be able to see you again.”
After a pause, he added, “Too many things happened after that and I forgot about that email.”
Samantha listened quietly and did not say anything to refute his explanation. She merely asked, “Then...do you know who this email ID belongs to?”
BandL.
The email ID was something Samantha came up with for Timothy at the time, adding the first letters of their surnames together.
Timothy said he disliked it, but had since been using that email ID as his personal mailbox. That was why she was so familiar with it.
Alan’s hand clenched slightly as he held the phone and he replied, “I don’t.”
Samantha’s long curly eyelashes trembled slightly. Rather than accepting his answer, she said, “No, you do.”
Alan was very smart and the email ID could not be more obvious. It was impossible for him not to know.
Moreover, if he did not know, he would not have refrained from mentioning that email even once in the past three years.
Alan’s lips twitched. “Sammy, there I times I wish you were more confused and ignorant.”
He knew.
Or perhaps, a better description would be, he guessed it.
That was why he rushed to Aharromoggh as soon as he received the email, and the first thing he did when the plane landed was to find Samantha to save her life.
When Samantha woke up after that, she told Alan that she had divorced Timothy and that Timothy sent the killer to take her life.
For some reason, Alan could not tell her anything even though his words had already reached his lips.
He found all sorts of excuses for himself: ‘Samantha’s body needs peace and calm to recuperate’ or ‘Samantha is living so happily and peacefully now and there is no point in me telling her to disrupt her thoughts’ or ‘she’s already forgotten about Timothy and whether or not she knows about this isn’t important’.
He felt that there was no need to mention the past since the boundaries had already been drawn.
He has been deceiving himself for so long that he could not find any way to deceive himself any further when Samantha exposed it in front of him.
That was his greatest selfishness.
He chose to hide it because he did not want Samantha and Timothy to have any more contact.
In the end, however, God did not fulfill his wishes.
Samantha still found out about it and contacted Timothy again.
Alan swallowed his saliva and felt a trace of bitterness in his mouth.
Samantha glanced back at the email and her emotions were conflicted for a moment.
She never would have expected that Timothy would send a warning email to Alan.
After learning that Timothy suffered from multiple personalities, she kept thinking about when the second personality appeared.
Was it the main personality who loved her or was it the second personality in disguise?
Who is the one who filed for a divorce with her and defended Harmony?
What did Timothy’s main personality feel about her?
If the main personality truly loved her, why would the wedding five years ago be broken off?
There were too many unsolvable questions in her mind and she was afraid to step rashly into the current situation.
Judging from that email, she at least knew that Timothy’s main personality did not want to kill her.
The person who gave the order to kill should be Timothy’s second personality.
As for the personality who agreed to the divorce...
She suddenly remembered that the back of the photo on the divorce certificate were the words ‘I love you’.
If she guessed correctly, the person who agreed to the divorce was Timothy’s second personality, but the one who failed to go through with the divorce was Timothy’s main personality.
It was the main personality who wrote the phrase ‘I love you’.
During that time, the main personality and the second personality were fighting to get control of the body.
Milton said that the transformation of personalities sometimes only took a few seconds. The main personality generally might not realize the presence of multiple personalities, but the other personalities will retain the memory of the main personality.
It meant that the main personality was fundamentally at a disadvantage and was being swallowed by the second personality.
However, the arrangements made by the main personality showed that he was at least in part aware of the second and was thus able to make those arrangements in advance.
However, he did not consider his predicament and thought only about her.
He ensured that she was still Mrs. Barker, caused the second personality to be apprehensive of her, and saved her life by making Alan her shelter.
It was a failsafe plan.
Only…he had no way out of it.
Samantha finally realized what the mysterious man meant when he said that the comfortable life she had was at the expense of Timothy’s life.
Tears had somehow streamed down her face.
She did not even realize that she was crying, but she could not stop her tears at all. She raised the back of her hand to cover her eyes.
Timothy was the dumbest idiot she had ever met.
Samantha once told him that he had to tell her if he loved her because she would not know otherwise if he did not verbalize it.
Many years had passed since Samantha told Timothy that, but he never seemed to have learned from it....
