Just as how you confessed to me when we were little,” Stella

Lindsay said with fake concern as she came forward.

Of course, this was all what Grace had said to her when they were younger.

She was mentioning it now to remind him of the affection he had felt as a child and to treat her better.

“When we were younger…” Brian murmured. Then, he got up with a slight wobble, put down the wine gla** in his hand, and approached her step by step.

There were already signs of intoxication in his phoenix eyes.

As he stood still before her, he suddenly murmured, “Why you? Why not her?”

Stella Lindsay was stunned for a moment. She did not quite catch what he meant by that.

However, the next moment, as she saw him looking at the small. bracelet again, her blood suddenly froze.

‘What he means is that… Why am I the one who saved him when. he was younger and not Grace?’

“I…” She tried to say something but found her throat to be dry. His glance made her feel terrifyingly guilty.

“All right, you can leave. I’m okay, just a little tired. I want to be alone,” Brian said lightly. He sat back on the couch and lowered his head to stare at the small bracelet in his hand.

It was as if the bracelet was the whole world to him!

Stella Lindsay’s eyes were full of jealousy. ‘Given time, I’ll be able to take Grace’s place in his heart completely!”

She would make him completely transfer the feelings he felt for Grace as a child to her!

Having not read such professional law books in nearly four years, Grace thought she would be rusty and might not even be able to remember the legal provisions.

However, she seemed to remember them as easily as before. She was even like a sponge, looking at all sorts of case studies and absorbing the experience of her predecessors.

Perhaps it was the brain’s instinctive desire to fill in the gaps left by the last four years.

Grace enjoyed the two thick law books.

In the study next to Jason’s desk, another desk had been set.

aside for Grace. Grace read carefully, and if she had any doubts, she would habitually mark it in the book before using the internet to look up the relevant information.

Absorbed in her book, Grace did not notice Jason who was sitting on the other side. He was looking at her with his deep eyes.

He had never seen her as a lawyer, and he had not bothered to glance at her even when she was a prisoner.

The first time he met her, she was wearing a fluorescent sanitation service worker uniform and looked awkward.

He had seen much of her since, but only now was he seeing her so absorbed in something.

He could almost imagine her at her desk when she was still a lawyer, absorbed in the cases she was working on.

Right, she said she liked her job as a lawyer.

Her rapt attention at the moment seemed to prove what she said to be true.

It was as if all she saw were the case studies, legal provisions…

His eyes could not help being attracted to her. He only found her seemingly more beautiful at this moment. It was not like the usual serenity, but there was some persistence against the wind and snow.

It was like a blooming plum blossom raising its head alone amid the strong snowstorm.

‘Is this… The woman I love? No matter what kind of torture she has suffered, she still carries persistence in her heart and loves her career loves so much.”

Jason only felt some kind of shock in his heart.

At that moment, he even wanted to hide her so that only he could look at her this way and no one else could.

After Grace was done reading the case study, she looked up only to find Jason staring at her. “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I just think you look very beautiful when you’re absorbed in your reading,” he replied.

Her face turned red immediately, and at that moment, her phone rang. Grace answered it and heard a soft female voice coming from the phone. “Is this Miss Cummins? We’re XX Hospital. You’ve made an appointment with Dr. Guzman earlier. Are you coming at the appointed time tomorrow?”

Grace hurriedly replied, “Yes, I’ll be there on time tomorrow.”

“All right. Sorry for bothering you. Goodbye,” the lady replied politely.

Grace put away her phone while Jason’s voice rang in her ear. “What? Where are you going tomorrow?”

She bit her lip slightly, looked up at him, and said, “I’m going to the hospital. I haven’t been sleeping well lately, so I want to consult a doctor.”

Ultimately, she did not tell him the cause of her bad sleep was the series of dreams, lest he would think too much of it.

If she had amnesia and those dreams were of her meeting Brian when they were younger, then… That meant Brian had not mistaken her for someone else previously!

However, what was going on with Stella then?

If it turned out that her dreams were not related to memory loss but she might have dreamed it because she heard Stella talk about it as a child, then she was merely thinking too much.

If she told Jason, it would only rouse his suspicions.

At least… She would only tell him when everything was settled.

“Why don’t I find you an expert?” asked Jason.

The experts he spoke of were of course top-notch.

“I’ve made the appointment for tomorrow, so no thanks for now. Let’s talk about it after I consult the doctor,” said Grace.

“I’ll go with you tomorrow,” said Jason.

“No thanks. It’s not a holiday tomorrow. I can go by myself. I’m just checking out my headache. You don’t need to accompany me,” Grace said hurriedly. After all, she was going to the doctor tomorrow to ask about her dreams, so it would be rather inconvenient if he was there.

His eyes glistened a little, and his long lashes dropped slightly to hide the look in his eyes. “Be careful, then. I’ll ask the driver to take you there tomorrow.”

“Sure,” she answered softly.

The next day, Grace arrived at the hospital’s outpatient clinic at the appointed time.

When facing the doctor, she talked about her symptoms one by one, including her dreams and the occasional headache which was accompanied by some broken images.

However, she could not see what the images were.

After listening, Dr. Guzman pondered for a moment and said, “It could be that the memory is impaired and because of some stimulus, it has started to recover locally.”

Grace was shocked, vaguely recalling that she started having these dreams and headaches when Brian told her about his childhood.

Only at that time, she thought she had the dream because she was thinking about it all day and night.

‘Could it be that what Brian said was… A stimulus to me?”

“Has your family ever mentioned that you’ve lost some of your memory?” asked Dr. Guzman.

Grace shook her head. At least her father and stepmother had not mentioned this before, and as for Grandma… Now that Grandmal was dead, she could not ask even if she wanted to.

“Of course, memory loss is one possibility, but it could also be something else. If you want to know if it’s amnesia or fantasy, you can find out by hypnosis,” said Dr. Guzman.

“Hypnosis?” Grace did not expect the doctor to say the same thing as Lina Sweeney. “Can hypnosis confirm whether it’s amnesia?”

“Yes, but it needs to be done by an experienced psychiatrist. Ant experienced psychologist can make a judgment based on your reaction. If you need anything, I can refer you to a psychologist. Of course, you can decide whether to go or not,” replied Dr. Guzman.

As Dr. Guzman spoke, he took a note and wrote the psychiatrist’s name as well as contact information on it.

Grace took it and said thank you.

Coming out of the outpatient clinic, Grace was a little preoccupied.

‘Hypnosis…’ Hypnosis was the quickest way to determine whether the events in her dream were imaginary or part of a lost memory.

She had set her heart on finding out what the dream was all about.
