Forgetting You Was the Best Ending novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

After a car accident, Lily Cooper lost her memory.

She remembered everyone except Victor Scott.

After keeping vigil for days, her best friend Emma Scott abruptly changed expression upon realizing Lily genuinely couldn’t recall that name.

“Lily, it’s just the two of us here. Tell me honestly–is this some new trick playing hard to get? Are you just trying to catch my brother’s attention?”

Lily looked utterly bewildered, her eyes full of confusion. “No, I really don’t remember. Who is he?”

“You’re not lying? Then swear it!”

Faced with suspicion, Lily didn’t hesitate and swore a solemn oath.

Seeing her dare to swear such an oath, Emma was stunned as if struck by lightning. She shook Lily’s shoulders desperately.

“You really lost your memory, and forgot only my brother?”

Lily didn’t understand why this was so shocking and pressed further, “Who exactly is Victor?”

Emma’s expression turned complicated. She massaged her temples and explained slowly: “Victor’s my brother. Years ago, you visited our Manor House, fell for him at first sight, and chased after him for seven whole years…”

As Emma rambled on, Lily’s mind went blank.

“So… is he my boyfriend now?”

Emma looked a bit awkward. “No. He’s always been cold to you. He rejected you and every other girl who liked him. He’s hung up on someone else–Sophie Harrison, his first love. When they broke up, he drowned himself in alcohol day and night, and ended up in the hospital, nearly lost his life. He never got over it. And this time? He left you all alone on the highway in the pouring rain because he had to pick up Sophie, who just got back to the country. That’s why you got into the accident and lost your memory.”

Those few sentences left Lily speechless. Her expression turned complex and conflicted.

“So let me get this straight–your brother treats me coldly, loves someone else, even hurt me for her… Why would I ever like him? Are you lying to me?”

“Why would I lie? Everyone knows you were crazy about him.”

Emma shook her head and quickly handed Lily her phone, urging her to unlock it.

Skeptical yet curious, took the phone and typed in a familiar password, but it didn’t work.

“Your password isn’t your idol’s birthday anymore. It’s my brother’s- 0715!”

Following Emma’s words, Lily unlocked the phone.

As soon as she opened the photo gallery, thousands of photos of an unfamiliar man flooded her vision.

She stared at that devastatingly handsome face for a long time, slowly realizing Emma spoke the truth.

Victor’s looks perfectly matched her ideal type.

Yet in every candid shot, taken from various angles, his gaze toward her was icy and detached.

A suffocating ache settled in Lily’s chest. She opened her notes app next.

Dozens of memos detailed everything about Victor—his preferences, his tastes, his pet peeves.

And beneath those, daily diary entries poured out her unrequited love:
