Josephine’s brows tightened further, and she shifted half a step back, placing Skylar squarely in front of her.

“Junior Skylar, this person is really strange,” she said.

Jared’s fists clenched until his knuckles cracked. His nails dug into his palms, blood seeping through his fingers and dripping down.

He didn’t know what Skylar had done to her this time—only that she had forgotten him again. Completely. As if he had never existed.

Back in Cloudhaven City, she had shown signs of recovery. At the very least, she hadn’t attacked him—she had only turned and left.

But now… she was exactly as she had been the first time they met. Cold. Distant. Untouchable.

Skylar watched Jared’s reaction, a playful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
