To her surprise, the photo was kept in his photo album.

Then, she found a small silver bracelet at the place where the photo album had been.

She was so focused on the photo album that she neglected the bracelet.

‘This bracelet… Grace’s chest tightened suddenly. ‘I recall this being the bracelet Brian carried with him everywhere. Why is it with Jay?’

‘No, this bracelet… is Brian’s!’

Grace suddenly picked up the small silver bracelet. This one was just the same style and size as that one, but it was much more oxidized than that bracelet. The surface was a little darker, unlike that bracelet. Brian probably carried it around with him and often rubbed his fingers against it, so it was brighter.

Then this bracelet…

She suddenly thought of the jewelry box that her grandmother had left her.

‘I didn’t find the little bracelet that was supposed to be part of the pair. However, what if… this is the bracelet?

‘Why… is it in Jay’s room?’

She suddenly felt uneasy. It was as if something she did not know had happened.

‘Only Jason can solve this mystery for her!’

Holding the small silver bracelet in her hand, Grace left the room and went downstairs. She had just reached the ground floor when she heard a commotion outside.

Grace rushed forward and only saw a woman who seemed to be desperately trying to break in but was being blocked by several servants. Jason and Terrence were standing before the woman.

“Young Master Reed, sorry. I didn’t expect her to burst into here. I’ll take care of her!”

The woman who was being stopped by the servants… Grace now recognized her! It was… Dr. Leng! Dr. Leng, the one who was supposed to give her the hypnosis treatment.

Dr. Leng happened to be heading in Grace’s direction right now. She immediately shouted at the sight of Grace, “Miss Cummins, tell Mr. Reed that

I didn’t hypnotize you!”

Grace froze instantly and felt as if something had exploded in her head.

‘Hypnosis? Jay?’

‘Why does Dr. Leng want me to tell Jason this? Does Jason know Dr. Leng? I’ve never said anything about hypnosis to Jay! All I’ve ever said… was a headache!’

The riddle was increasing one by one.

Grace stared blankly at the figure not far away. He turned around slowly as his handsome face looked at her gently with his usual smile. He said, “You’re up? I’ll get the servants to serve your breakfast.

Let’s get something to eat first.”

As he spoke, he moved forward and touched the hair beside her cheeks gently. He then ordered Terrence who was behind him, “Take care of this.”

“Yes,” Terrence answered immediately as he trembled. He hurriedly got someone to bring Dr. Leng out of Reed Residence.

Dr. Leng’s sudden disturbance was a surprise, and the most troublesome thing was that Miss Cummins had seen it.

‘I’m afraid Young Master Reed won’t let me off the hook so easily after this!’ Terrence shuddered involuntarily at the thought, then glanced back at the psychiatrist who had become silent.

‘Did Dr. Leng suddenly create such a disturbance at Reed Residence because she’s anxious? Anxious to prove she didn’t hypnotize Grace for fear of losing her job?

‘Isn’t that a bit too simplistic? I’ve only arranged for her to go abroad for a meeting and a vacation.

The look in Terrence’s eyes changed as he thought of it. After all, being around Jason, he had seen so much that it was natural to understand one thing-there must be something wrong if things were going wrong.

‘Maybe I need to do some more digging.’

In Reed Residence, Jason said to Grace with a smile, “Come on. Let’s have breakfast first.”

“Jason, what was that all about?” Instead of following him to the dining room, she stood where she was.

“Just like what you saw, one of the doctors you’ve seen came here and created a disturbance.” He smiled as if he was saying an understatement. “I’ll get you a good doctor and see what’s the matter with your headache.”

He once again tried to take her hand before walking toward the dining room.

However, her steps remained still.

“Do you know Dr. Leng? Do you know I went to see her about hypnosis?” she took a deep breath and asked her innermost doubts.

corners of his mouth. “It’s your birthday today. Do you have to ask that now?”

“Jason, I want to know what’s going on!” she said. Her mind was racing as there were a lot of things related to her that she had no idea about.

“Don’t you think it’s better not to know?”

he asked.

Something seemed to flash through her mind suddenly. She immediately widened her eyes and looked at him, saying, “When I went to the hospital the other day, the nurse said Dr. Leng had to go abroad suddenly. Was it you… who did that?”

“Do you really want to know?” His eyelashes quivered a little. “What if I say yes? What are you going to do?”

“But why do you want…” She stopped short in the middle of her sentence, only feeling that the little silver bracelet in her hand had suddenly become heavy.

She was intelligent, and even if many things were not clear at first, they were now connected in her mind. She could more or less make a general guess.

“Did you… take this bracelet from my grandmother’s mementos before handing them to me?” She held out her hand slowly. In the palm of her right hand lay oxidized.

He glanced faintly at the bracelet, a complicated glance pa**ing through his eyes. ‘Are some things really impossible to avoid? I deliberately tried to sever all ties between her and Brian.

‘However, as if unconsciously, the severed ties are still connected.’

Just like this silver bracelet that would eventually return to her.

‘What about the ties between her and

Brian? Will they reconnect?’

His thin lips whispered these words,

“You’re right. I did hide the bracelet.”

Her heart sank immediately. His words seemed to confirm her suspicions further. “Do you also know about my amnesia?”

“Yes.” His answer once again made her have mixed feelings!

“Why did you do that?”

“Why?” He suddenly raised his arms, almost holding her carefully in his embrace. “What about you? Why did you want to go to a doctor to hypnotize you?

Do you want to restore the memory of you and Brian? Are you that attached to that memory? You’ve spent only a day together when you were little, and now you have me by your side.”

just talking about a common thing.

However, it sounded so frightening to her.

‘He even knows that… Brian and I only spent one day together! It’s as if he knows everything and I’m the only one who didn’t!’

He seemed to feel her body going stiff and held her tighter in his arms. His lips were close to her ear as he continued to whisper, “Don’t seek for that memory again. Isn’t it enough that you have me?”

‘No. I don’t have to restore that memory.

I’ve decided to bury it all and keep it as little secret. “Brian and I…”

my

However, she had just started talking when he interrupted.

“That’s enough. Stop! I don’t want to hear what’s going on between you and

Brian!” He held her firmly in his arms, not wanting to hear her saying things he did not want to hear.

“Jason, listen… Listen to me…

“As I said, I don’t want to hear anything going on between you and Brian! I don’t care what happened to you and him on the hill yesterday. I can take it as nothing has happened, but from now on, don’t have any contact with him! Don’t place him in your heart. Don’t mention him, think of him, or miss him!”

His arms seemed to want to embed her completely into his body.

That was as far as he could go! He never thought he would concede so far for a woman!

His pride and dignity were being destroyed by her little by little, but he still wanted her!

‘My body… hurts!’

Grace felt as though she was about to go out of breath as Jason hugged her.

However, what hurt her more was what he said.

“You don’t believe me?” She tried her best to raise her chin in his arms as if desperately wanting to see the man in front of her who she loved most!
