“President Weiss, your hand is still hurt from before…”
The scar on Martin Weiss’s hand, which he got from breaking the gla** at the fair, had only begun to heal over the past two days. However, as he punched the wall, the wound began to open again.
The red blood gushed from his hand.
The two bodyguards rushed forward to deal with the wound, but Martin Weiss did not seem to feel any pain as he merely frowned deeply.
‘Since she’s in Emerald City, I’ll find her even if I have to turn
Emerald City over!’
“Mommy?” Nelson did not call out to Kyla Corbyn until they got into a taxi.
Although he did not know why his mother had suddenly picked him up when he was picking out a birthday present for Aunty, he had always been an obedient child and knew there must be a reason for her to do that, so he kept quiet all the way.
“I… Saw someone I didn’t want to see just now, so… I ran away with you in my arms. How about I bring you to buy a present for Aunty Grace next time?” said Kyla Corbyn.
The little one nodded and asked in a babyish voice, “Is the person you don’t want to see a bad person?”
Kyla Corbyn suddenly found her nose to be a little sore. When Nelson was younger, he once asked her where his father was.
Each time he asked, she would say that his father was in heaven.
She wondered when Nelson would understand what it meant to be in heaven.
However, she knew that she could not tell him that his father was only a few dozen meters away from them, and she could not tell him that he had actually met his father before. It was just that his existence was never what the man expected.
The man had never even thought of having such a child.
“Mommy, why are you crying?” His tender little hand caressed Kyla Corbyn’s cheek. His pretty little face was filled with a precocious worry.
Kyla Corbyn finally realized she had burst into tears at some point.
“Mommy, don’t cry. I… I’ll be a good boy. I’ll work harder in learning to speak, to use the hearing aid, and learn a lot of words,” said the little one, thinking that his mother was feeling sorry for him again.
That was because before he could hear, his mother would always hug him and cry before saying something to
Grandma.
He only knew limited lip language, but he knew that his mother and his grandmother were talking about his hearing disability.
He could not hear, so his mother would be sad.
Ever since he put a hearing aid on his ear, his mother would look at him happily every day.
He did not like to see his mother cry. He wanted his mother to laugh happily every day.
He needed to work very hard to learn how to speak well. Then, he would make his mother laugh every day!
Her son’s sensibility made Kyla Corbyn’s eyes feel sorer. “All right, I won’t cry. I want to accompany you to learn to speak a lot of words.”
‘I want to spend my whole life with Nelson, but… My heart seems to be getting more and more uneasy.
‘Can I really get away with it? Can I avoid Martin Weiss?’
That night after Nelson had fallen asleep, Mrs. Corbyn looked anxiously at her daughter and said, “You ran into Martin
Weiss today. Did he see you?”
“I don’t know.” Kyla Corbyn shook her head. She just held Nelson in her arms and rushed to the exit pa**ageway, only thinking about leaving the mall quickly.
“If he does find us, then we…” Mrs. Corbyn said hesitatingly,
“Since he’s looking around for you like this, 15 The OTHMAN
Kyla Corbyn knew that her mother was imagining things again, imagining that Martin Weiss would pity her.
However, if he had pitied her at all, he would not have been so cruel as to send her to prison without even giving her a chance to explain!
“Mom, he’s looking for me only because he’s not satisfied with his revenge. In his opinion, it’s too easy for me that I only spent a few years in prison.”
Mrs. Corbyn’s eyes darkened as she sighed. “Do you have a plan?”
“If he really wants to take revenge, let him do it. However… I won’t give him Nelson!” Kyla Corbyn said with determination in her eyes.
‘Nelson means the world to me… Unless I’m dead, no way!’
Grace stood in front of the hospital’s entrance, still hesitating and unsure whether she was making the right choice.
‘Am I really going to find out the truth? If it’s a lost memory, could it be restored? What happens after I restore it? Will I be entangled with Brian, or will it make Jason feel more insecure?
‘Should I restore the memory, or should I bury it forever?
Should I just act as if I know everything and treat my headache in some other way?
‘Or, as long as I can keep Brian at arm’s length in the future and not let him stimulate my memory, then the headaches will probably stop, right?’
“Miss Cummins!” Suddenly, a female voice rang in Grace’s ear.
Before she knew it, she found herself in front of Dr. Leng’s office, and the one who called her had been the nurse who was with Dr. Leng yesterday.
“Miss Cummins, something came up with Dr. Leng this morning, and she had to ask for leave for some time. I’m sorry to make you come here in vain. Dr. Leng took an emergency leave, and it was so sudden that we haven’t had time to contact you,” the nurse said apologetically.
Grace felt relieved at that moment.
‘Dr. Leng isn’t here today. At least, I don’t have to be hypnotized today and I don’t have to worry about restoring my memory!
‘Worry?’ She was immediately stunned. ‘Am I worried about… Restoring my memory?
‘Am I worried because… I’m afraid that restoring my memory will make things more complicated and confusing?
‘Perhaps I know that… Not restoring this memory is the best choice?’
Grace kept her head down while thinking as she walked toward the elevator at the end of the corridor.
Just before her hand reached the elevator button, another hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. In the next moment, she was pulled into the exit pa**ageway next to the elevator.
There was a door between it and the hospital corridor, but it was unlike the corridors where people walked by now and then. It was… So quiet here as if they were two worlds.
“Brian!” Grace looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
The stairway of the exit pa**ageway was dimly lit. They were standing in a position in which he had his back to the light and the greater part of his face was in the dark, so she could not see his expression right now.
“Tell me, why are you here to see a psychiatrist? Even to the point of hypnosis. What are you doing with hypnosis?” asked Brian.
There was a rare urgency in the tone of his voice, which was normally cold.
Grace was stunned, and her eyes widened. She did not expect Brian to know what she was doing here today!
‘Therefore, this is… “You had someone stalk and investigate me?” she asked.
He pressed his thin lips together and did not deny it. “Tell me, what on earth are you trying to hypnotize? Is there…” His lips. suddenly quivered, and he spat out the second half of the sentence, “Do you need hypnosis… To help you remember something?”
Grace suddenly stiffened. From what Brian said just now, he probably only knew that she came to the hospital for hypnosis. today, but he did not know the details of what she was going to do with it.
Therefore he could only make a guess, but it was a good one.
Her silence seemed to allow Brian to confirm his speculation further. “Therefore, have you really forgotten something?
Does it have to do with me?”
Grace bit her lip slightly. “Mr. Hart, you have an overactive imagination. I did come here today for hypnosis, but not because of the reason you’ve mentioned. It’s to treat some of my other symptoms. As you know, I was in prison for three years before, so I have some anxiety disorder or something.”
His phoenix eyes were fixed on her as if to distinguish the truth from falsehood in her words. “Is that so? Anxiety disorders?
Do you have them?”
She met his eyes. “How do you know I don’t?”
He suddenly moved closer to her, his elegant and handsome face inching closer to her eyes. “Did you know that when you grabbed my hand at the fair that day, you said the same things as the little girl who saved me?”
“I told you. It was nonsense,” she said without flinching.
“Nonsense?” he sneered, “You grabbed my hand and said you won’t let go, that you’re going to take me up and want me to hold your hand tight! Tell me, what nonsense does it take to speak so illogically? Also, take me up? Where are you taking me?”
His question struck her in the heart like a heavy hammer, inexplicably making her feel a tightness in her chest. It was almost as if she could not breathe.
As he approached, it made her step back until her back was against the wall.
She unconsciously raised her hand to block the space between them, but his hand pressed both her hands against the wall.
“Brian, what are you doing? Let go!” Grace struggled.
