“Are you trying to avoid Martin Weiss?” asked Grace.
After all, if the case was to be reversed, she would probably have to meet Martin Weiss again.
“I can’t take the risk. I can’t let him know of Nelson’s existence. If he finds out, even if it’s a one in a million chance that… He wants Nelson, I’ll go crazy. Grace, Nelson is my life!” said Kyla Corbyn.
Of course, Grace could understand Kyla Corbyn’s feelings for Nelson!
Though she had never been a mother, she thought that if she was in the same position as Kyla Corbyn now, she might have made the same choice.
It was better to keep the child than to clear their name!
“I saw Martin Weiss again yesterday,” said Grace.
Kyla Corbyn’s eyes immediately widened as she looked at Grace in shock.
“It was at a trade fair. Martin Weiss remembered Nelson and wanted to see him again,” said Grace.
Kyla Corbyn’s body could not help but tremble. ‘He… Wants to see Nelson again? The baby he said he wouldn’t want if I got pregnant… He wants to see him?
How ironic!
“Kyla Corbyn, you listen to me well. You’re not even qualified to bear my child. If you’re really pregnant, then this child wouldn’t have the life to be given birth by you!”
Both his cruel words and his handsome face were indifferent and contemptuous.
His words were like a sharp sword, cutting her self-esteem, pride, and love to pieces.
“Then you…” Kyla Corbyn, with a pale face and quivering lips, looked at Grace with great tension.
“I didn’t agree with it. I said Nelson and his family don’t like to be disturbed, so I refused his request,” said Grace.
Kyla Corbyn breathed a sigh of relief.
“However, the fair will be held in Emerald City for three days, Kyla. Perhaps Martin Weiss will remain in Emerald City these days. If you really want to avoid him, be careful these days and try not to go out.” Grace reminded.
Kyla Corbyn nodded. “Got it.”
She escaped the last time Martin Weiss came to Emerald City. Could she be so lucky this time?
When Mrs. Corbyn came back from the park with Nelson, Kyla Corbyn looked at her son’s young face with a restless heart.
She kept feeling like something was going to happen and destroy the quiet life she finally managed to have.
However… She took a deep breath and picked her son up. “Nelson, whatever happens, Mommy is going to be with you.”
No matter what, she could not lose Nelson.
After leaving the small restaurant, Grace hesitated before taking out a sticky note with a name and a string of numbers from her bag.
Then, she took out her phone and dialed the number.
After a moment or two, someone picked it up at the other end. “Who is it?”
“Is this Dr. Leng? I was introduced by Dr. Guzman and I’d like you to help me study my situation to see if hypnosis is necessary,” said Grace.
She had been hesitating, but yesterday, there was a risk that her headache and the disorderly images in her mind would lead to a misunderstanding.
It seemed that she needed to get to the bottom of her dreams and headaches!
Grace made up her mind and arranged the appointment with Dr. Leng on her phone.
Just after Grace ended the call, Terrence knocked on the door and entered Jason’s office.
“Young Master Reed, Miss Cummins has just contacted the psychiatrist with the last name Leng. The appointment is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.”
Jason lowered his eyes. His long fingers held the pen in his hand, still signing smoothly on the papers. “All right, got it.”
Then, Terrence withdrew from the office.
It was only at the moment when the door was about to close that he heard a faint crack in his ear.
It was as if something had cracked.
The door of the president’s office closed and Jason sat on a sofa chair, still in the same position, but he had stopped signing.
The pen in his hand had broken in two, and his handsome face was clouded with gloom.
‘Is Grace… Still trying to get her lost memories back? Is she trying to retrieve the memories a**ociated with Brian?
‘Why? She said she wanted to grow old with me, but why would she want to get back the memories a**ociated with other men?
Could it be that no matter how much I love her and crawl at her feet, there’ll always be a place in her heart for Brian?’
“You’re so heavy. Carrying you is tiring.” The little girl seemed to be complaining.
“I.. I’m sorry…” It was the boy’s sobs. He sounded embarra**ed.
He had never thought that one day he would let a girl carry him like this. However, now his feet hurt so badly that he could not walk.
If they did not leave this hill as soon as possible, the bad guys would find them sooner or later.
Even if they were not found, they would not be able to find food or water on the hill.
She had mentioned that she would run down the hill to get the police, but he was afraid-afraid to be left alone in this strange place, and afraid that she would never come back.
He was older than her, and he was a boy. He should have been the one to comfort her, but in the end, she saw his fear and comforted him instead, saying, “Let’s get off the hill together!”
Together… What a beautiful word!’
For the first time, he felt that these two words were so rea**uring.
Her little body carried him on her back and she walked over the thorny hill.
Every step was so hard, and her floral dress had more holes in
He knew how much she liked the dress.
He said, “If you like this dress that much, then when we get off the hill, I’ll ask my dad to buy you an exact one.”
‘Even if I can’t buy one, I’ll ask Daddy to find someone to make one that’s the same!’
“It’s all right. Didn’t you say you were going to get me a purple dress? I’ll just wait for your purple dress!” Then, she mumbled, “However, I won’t take it if it’s too ugly!”
‘The purple dress…’
Brian was now standing in front of a wardrobe, looking at the purple dress with the same tiny flowers on the hem as that dress.
However, this dress was naturally much more delicate than the dress the little girl wore.
Brian raised his hand and gently touched the dress. Every year for years, he made a purple dress. They were of different styles, but the only thing that stayed the same was the little flowers on the dress.
Because ‘she’ liked these little flowers.
However, after finding Stella Lindsay, he did not give her the dresses.
He did not know why. Just like the little silver bracelet, he did not give it to Stella either.
It was as if once he gave them to Stella, then all his years of thinking would come to an end.
‘What the hell is… Going on?’
For two days, all he could think of was the remark she made the other day when she had a headache.
‘Was that really nonsense?’
The red marks on his wrist had faded, but the feeling of being gripped by her hand seemed to linger there.
“Grace, tell me what’s the truth!” murmured Brian as his hands gently wrapped around the long purple dress hanging in the wardrobe.
It was like he was hugging the most intimate lover…
“Ah!” Grace woke up with a start. What struck her eyes was darkness, but when she touched her forehead, it was all cold sweat.
She had been dreaming again. In the dream, the little girl carried the little boy on her back as she walked on the hill. She could even feel the little girl’s struggle.
However, the little girl in her dream persevered as if she would not leave the little boy no matter what.
Recently, the dreams seemed to happen more and more frequently, and the scenes in the dreams were like playing a movie, changing each time.
‘Or is the dream really a forgotten memory?”
Suddenly, as if sensing something was wrong, Grace turned on the bedside lamp and looked over at the space beside her.
