Lena looked at the flower in front of her and then glanced at the surrounding scenery.

The scene that just flashed through my mind is here, and the protagonist inside is her.

So her first time with Mr. H was here?

Furrowing her brow, she lowered her head to try and recall some details, but the more she thought, the more her head ached.

She raised her hand wanting to massage her temples, but a pair of slender hands pressed against her temples and slowly began to rub.

Lena wanted to turn around, but the blindfold that covered her eyes fell on them again.

She sighed, "Is your body feeling better?"

"Um."

It seems it wasn't good yet, otherwise why would there be so little conversation.

She did not struggle and quietly waited for him to tie the cloth before turning around and asking, "Have I been to this place before?"

As soon as the words fell, the man's grip on her wrist tightened instantly, so tight that it caused her pain.

She didn't make a sound, but he quickly realized what had happened and immediately let go. However, a red mark had already appeared on her pale wrist.

He lowered his head and gently stroked her, as if to make her feel less pain.

Lena could feel his guilt, so she changed the subject.

"Wasn't our first time here?"

When she just came in, she only felt that the scene here was quite beautiful, and in the fleeting fragments, she also enjoyed it very much. How could it escalate to the point of hitting him?

The man remained silent and simply caressed her wrist.

Lena was truly fed up with the fact that she had lost her memory at this time. She didn't know anything and was always very passive.

She raised her hands to touch his face and then felt the warmth emanating from him.

"Were you still running a fever?"

"Um."

She was instantly so anxious that she wanted to tear off the cloth strip, but he held her back, "Don't look at me."

"Okay, okay, fine. Don't look, but you should at least take your medicine. How come you came out while still having a fever? What if you faint? No wonder you're not talking today, as silent as my boss. I'm really not used to it."

The man remained silent.

Lena quickly realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately tightened her grip on his wrist. "Let's go soak in the pool, sweat it out. I didn't mean to bring up other people on purpose."

She thought he would continue to be angry, but his fingertips had already started to unbutton her clothes.

Lena's breathing immediately became erratic, and she quickly tilted her head to one side. However, realizing that she couldn't see anything to begin with, she twisted it back.

When she immersed herself in the water pool, she was leaning against Mr. H's chest, and she couldn't help but think of the gossip Clara had mentioned earlier today.

"Hey, Mr. H, do you know how the outside world is spreading rumors about your boss? They say he used to be an undercover agent, but it seems like no one really knows his exact background apart from being an undercover agent."

Mr. H's fingers gently pressed on her shoulder, with just the right amount of force, making her whole body go weak, unable to help but lean even closer in his embrace.

She briefly repeated what Clara had just said, squinting her eyes, and asked nonchalantly, "Have you heard about it here?"

The man's fingertips paused for a few seconds, "There were."

Lena instantly perked up, slowly turning around and sitting on his lap, with only one shoulder exposed.

"So, is this true?"

She was blindfolded and had no idea about the scenery around her at that moment. Under the rippling water, everything was visible.

His eyes deepened in an instant, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and his fingertips slowly moved down, gripping tightly.

"There are some exaggerations, but it's also quite accurate."

"Your boss's experience is quite legendary, no wonder he can manage Wraith Manor so well."

She sat on his lap, facing him, with her chin resting on his shoulder. Her fingers were restless, causing her voice to occasionally pause.

After a long time, the man's hand slowly stopped. "The girl who saved his life, he later found her."

Lena's eyelashes trembled, someone had deceived her with this in the past, but she had found out herself, that's fate.

The corners of the mouth curved, "So, did they get together?"

"No, the two of them had a very ugly fight."

Ah?

How could this have started as a romantic story, but ended up looking so ugly?

It was apparent that she was interested in it. As his hand gently stroked her back, he spoke, "By the time I found her, it was already too late. She had someone she loved, and there were many things that happened in between. It's hard to explain in just a few words."

Lena lowered her head and bit his shoulder, "So you knew quite a lot."

"It was all just rumors."

She felt like she had soaked enough and was about to leave, but she felt something pressing against her.

"Mr. H, you were still running a fever."

"Um."

Lena reached out her hand and touched his forehead. Due to soaking in the hot spring, his forehead was covered in sweat and his whole body was burning hot.

"Let's talk when you got better."

"Lena."

"Hmm?"

"I stole both your time and mine now."

Lena's heart instantly ached, and she immediately realized that he had been in a very bad mood today, feeling down throughout the entire day.

She quickly reassured, "It's not that I don't like it, I'm just afraid that you can't handle it, Mr. H. You're always so sensitive, and I'm tired too."

Her waist was released by a hand, and the sound of a man getting up came to her ears.

"Mr. H?"

The whole venue fell silent in an instant. She was so angry that she ripped off the cloth from her eyes. There was indeed no one here anymore.

She actually just left, leaving her alone here.

This little waiter had quite a temper.

She was angry and helpless.

    "Ms. Dawson, you still don't remember anything? You've been in the hospital for three days now. We need your family to settle the hospital bill ASAP," the nurse said.Lena Dawson, her head wrapped in bandages, gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, but I just can't remember my phone's password."The nurse continued, "Do you have an emergency contact?""I..."Lena hadn't even thought of an answer when the door suddenly swung open with a bang. A handsome young man walked in, his face full of impatience."Seriously? Again? What game are you playing this time?" Hayden Reid snapped. "You took Leah out, and then a car accident happened. She could've been disfigured if it weren't for her luck. Listen up, I'm calling off our engagement. Stop trying to get my attention.

    After saying that, he wrapped his arms around Leah's waist and left without hesitation.Lena looked at the number on her phone. The man who just claimed to be her fiancé hadn't shown her any concern at all and had stood up for Leah instead.Her heart felt as if it was being tightly constricted by an iron wire, and her face paled even further. An involuntary pain surged within her.Leah seemed to have fully recovered a long time ago, but it was Lena who was condemned despite almost losing her life.How could this man possibly be her fiancé?She had gone missing for three days, and her family had not contacted her. She only remembered a vague impression of her boyfriend.Without hesitation, she dialed the number. A formal, assistant-like voice answered."Ms. Lena?""Hello, is this Hunter?

    Lena didn't know who to ask for the 3,200 dollars. In the end, at nine o'clock in the evening, she dialed Hunter's number again.A low, hoarse voice rang out from the other end, like snowflakes in the winter."Lena?"Lena's throat felt as if it had been suddenly gripped by an invisible hand, and an overwhelming sense of grievance filled her heart."Hello, Hunter. Can you lend me 3,200 dollars? I'm in the hospital and can't afford the hospital bills."From the phone, there was a faint breathing sound, along with the subtle sound of rustling clothes.Just when Lena thought her request would be rejected, she heard him ask, "What's your account number?""I... I'll go look for it."She quickly grabbed the bag next to her and started searching through it, afraid that Hunter would hang up.The nurse said it was her bag, but there were only cosmetics inside.She finally found a bank card in the innermost compartment and read aloud the card number.In less than a minute, she heard the notifica

    Lena took the slap, her head tilting slightly to the side. Her eyes were dull.Leah quickly walked over to Margaret's side to soothe her. "Mom, I'm really fine. There's only 160 thousand dollars on the card. I was afraid Lena would continue spending recklessly like before, so I didn't prepare too much."Lena's throat felt sore. She abruptly opened the door of the taxi parked next to her and said, "Could you please go to..."But she couldn't recall any place names in her mind, so she could only watch the family of four slowly walking inside through the car window.The driver said, "Are they your family or your enemies? You didn't even say anything just now, how did you get slapped? I don't want the money anymore. You can get out of the car now."Tears welled up in Lena's eyes and fell in an instant. She also wanted to ask, were they really family or were they enemies?Leah, who had walked away, held Hayden's hand. There was a trace of pride flickering in her eyes."Mom, Hayden, what if

You should go and take a shower and rest. I'm so tired today that I won't chat with you anymore."Lena nodded and calmly said, "Thank you."She saw Joanna walking towards one of the bedroom doors and knew that the other room was hers.She grabbed her pajamas and took a shower. Afterward, she finally felt much more comfortable.Just as Lena was about to fall asleep, she received a new message on her phone.When she opened it, she saw that it was from her younger brother, Randy Dawson."Lena, I'm on vacation and just arrived home. Today is Leah's birthday. Why aren't you here? Mom said you ran away from home again. Why are you always acting like this? Come back soon. I can't get used to the food the maid makes.

Did you take the medicine?The old man pushed open the door where Hunter was, his face very serious."Hunter, this time you stayed at home and rested well."Hunter leaned back on the bed and made a sound of "hmm."The old man knew that his son had always been reticent and felt somewhat helpless. "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, otherwise Lena won't just be simply kneeling down there," he said.Hunter slowly clenched his hand, which was placed on the bedsheet, as he heard Lena kneeling, but he didn't show any expression on his face.The old man saw that he was indifferent and breathed a sigh of relief.
