“Tomorrow, I will throw a grand wedding for you and Arthur. Once we are back, we will have another wedding.” Martha gushed.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

When it was lunch time, the guests were ushered to the banquet hall to have their lunch. As Anastasia walked over, Sophia went up to her and gave her a big hug. “Anastasia, thank you for being by my side the entire time and for bringing me here. All of these wouldn’t have happened if not for you.”

“This is the least I can do for you. I just want you to be happy.” Anastasia patted her back and smiled. She was happy that she was able to help out.

“I’m really happy.” Sophia pursed her lips as tears of joy rolled down the cheeks.

Meanwhile, Arthur went to the side and hugged two of his best friends. Their relationship was as strong as ever, and they’d always have each other’s backs.

At the same time, the police had already arrived at Johnny’s house and he was apprehended since he was being faced with legal charges. Likewise, Vera and Emily were brought to the police station to give their statements.

As Vera sat in the police car, tears of regret rolled down her cheeks. Her greed had brought the demise of her whole family, and the husband that she was proud of had to pay the price. Their future was bleak; it was highly probable that Johnny, who they hugely depended on, would be imprisoned for life.

She couldn’t imagine how life would be after being chased out of the country since they had been under the Weiss Family’s care and protection all along. Meanwhile, Emily cried so much that she almost passed out as she had lost everything in just a day. Her ostentatiousness and stupidity seemed to have accentuated Sophia’s kindness and beauty in front of Martha.

Of course, Emily had never thought that Sophia was someone kind since it was her presence which ruined everything. She had a strong urge to kill Sophia.

Besides, Richard didn’t have the right to release the recording that was obtained secretly as it was unlawful.

Meanwhile, Martha, who was resting in the manor, was feeling lethargic after a long day. She had to take two antihypertensive pills to reduce her blood pressure.

“That family really got on my nerves. How dare they do such a thing to my grandson!” The thought of it really made her blood boil. She was regretful that she hadn’t noticed Arthur’s abnormal behavior earlier on.

At this moment, Jackson, who was Johnny’s partner, walked in and sat before Martha. He was ready to answer any questions that she had.

“Jackson, based on your opinion, are you sure that Arthur won’t experience any side effects after taking the drug?”

“I just met Young Master Weiss, and I noticed that he has recovered by leaps in terms of his emotional response. It seems like the drug would wear out after a certain period. I’d suggest stimulating his emotional needs so that he’s able to heal by himself.”

“How do we achieve that?”

“I’d suggest Young Master Weiss go on a trip with his wife. I’m sure that he would fully reveal his feelings in front of the woman that he loves.”

Hearing that, Martha sighed as she realized that Sophia was an angel sent by the heavens to save her grandchild. If not, he would have fallen into the Jennings Family’s hands.

“Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements. I’ll write a referral letter and refer you to some other biological research institute and take care of your job arrangements.”

“Thank you, Old Madam.”

After seeing Jackson off, she touched her forehead and sighed. She then looked at the butler and said, “Prepare a feast for tonight as I’d like to invite Mr. Lloyd as well as Mr. and Mrs. Presgrave over to dinner as a token of appreciation.”

That evening, all of them received Martha’s dinner invitation.

In one of the living rooms within the manor, Sophia was rubbing her feet after wearing high heels for the whole day. Since she wasn’t used to wearing it, the friction between her feet and heels caused by too much walking had created a red patch even though the heels were of her size.

“What’s wrong?” Arthur asked. She immediately stood up and shook her head shyly. “Nothing.” She was scared that he would want to examine her feet if she said that they were hurt. However, the observant Arthur could tell that she was lying.

He walked toward her and kneeled to cheek her foot. “Did you hurt your feet? Let me have a look.”

“Stop… Stop looking.” She retracted them.

When he noticed how red her feet were from wearing the heels, he looked up and said, “Let me know next time when your foot hurts. Don’t keep it to yourself.” After that, he got one of the servants to get him some ointment before he personally applied it on her foot.

The cooling menthol helped to relieve the pain, and he applied the ointment so gently that it felt nice.

“Alright, this will do,” she told him.

“Let’s go to my room. There’s something I need to discuss with you.” He stood up and led her there.

As she stood in his room with an industrial interior, she felt calm as she looked out at the nice view. She felt contentment and happiness as she no longer had to worry about having to leave him.

Sophia thought of informing her parents that she was getting married tomorrow, but she was worried that her parents would get the wrong idea. In the end, she put the idea off as the journey between both countries was far. She would proceed with the wedding and seek forgiveness from her parents later on.

As she was in a daze, Arthur suddenly pulled her into his arms and brushed his nose gently against her neck, making her blush. Even though he had lost his memories, his actions seemed to be his old self like a puppy that constantly stuck around her.

“My wife smells nice.” He praised her after taking a sniff.

Sophia was certain that besides the memory loss that he experienced, his old self was back. She then turned around, looked up at his attractive face, and tiptoed before leaning in to peck on his cheek.

“Thank you for choosing me.” She looked at him with affection. He had saved her from the agonizing heartache that she would go through if he married Emily in the end.

She wouldn’t know what would happen if she had lost him as she saw him as someone very important to her, so much so that he was more important than her own life.

Hearing that, he realized that he held an important place in her heart and that he was a very important person in her life. If he really did marry Emily under the influence of the drug, he couldn’t imagine what would happen to Sophia.

Even if he regained consciousness in the end, the whole incident would have broken the woman’s heart. He would make sure that the Jennings family paid for hurting the woman he loved.

Arthur then pulled her into his arms and rested his cheeks on her forehead. “Although you have been wiped off from my memories, my heart and body haven’t forgotten you. All of my senses tell me I like you and that you’re the only one I want.”

Hearing that, tears rolled out her cheeks and she was relieved that she had taken the trip. If not, they would have missed out on each other. She felt like the heavens were on their side.

“I’m sorry.” He looked down and wiped her tears off with his hand before holding her face and going in for a kiss.

Sophia, her face wet with tears, could feel his affectionate kiss. It had calmed her heart as she knew that her happiness was right in front of her and all she had to do was to grab on to it.

Meanwhile, in the guest room, both Richard and Elliot were relieved that the truth had been revealed and that they were able to rescue Arthur from the dangers posed by the drug.

If not for their keen perception, it would have gone unnoticed. It was evident when Martha, who had been living with Arthur for so long, didn’t find it odd even when he wasn’t as close to her anymore. On top of that, all of the staff within the manor didn’t think otherwise when Arthur started becoming cold and distant.

On the contrary, Richard and Elliot could tell that something wasn’t right from just a phone call. It was probably due to their strong bond that they could sniff something out whenever something happened to any one of them.

“Please dress more formally at tonight’s banquet with Old Madam,” Elliot reminded him as Richard had changed into a comfortable camouflage t-shirt after taking off the suit that he wore in the morning.

“I’ll change into the suit later on. It’s so uncomfortable,” answered Richard while complaining.

After Elliot looked at the time, he got up and said, “I’ll go accompany Anastasia now.” He left right after that.

Richard then walked toward the window and looked outside with his head held high. The afternoon sun peeked through the clouds and shone on his attractive face. Since he had spent most of this time in the army, he had been trained to be an elite soldier who didn’t indulge himself in lust. He was born to lead on the battleground as it was his passion in life.

Just then, his phone rang. “Hello?” he answered.

“Captain, when are you coming back? I have something to report to you.”

“What is it?”

“There’s some progress at 408. Please come back soon so that we can start the mission.”

“Alright, please wait until I return. I need to stay over for one more day, and I’ll be back after that.” Richard sat up straight.
