Seeing that Sean was not speaking up, Cynthia asked again, "Is he conscious at the moment?" "He was awake for a while this morning, but he's back asleep now. I'll let you know when his condition stabilizes a bit more. You can come over then, alright?" Sean relayed, knowing he could not possibly share the real situation with her. "You're hiding something from me," Cynthia stated confidently. Sean held the phone, maintaining a smile. He always knew dealing with K would be challenging. "How could that be? If you don't trust me, you can investigate. With your skills, you should be able to uncover everything," he replied in a tranquil tone, betraying no signs of abnormality. Cynthia fell silent. Sean's hand holding the phone began to sweat. He was gambling on the fact that K would not resort to her hacker skills lightly. The K he knew would only employ such tactics for significant matters. However, if she did use them, she could easily unearth the truth. "How is his external inj
Cynthia observed for a while longer before asking Sean for Joshua's medical data. Sean complied without hesitation. After a series of inspections, neither of them detected anything out of the ordinary. As she prepared to leave, Cynthia, with Joshua on her mind, said to Sean, "Should you need any assistance during the treatment process, feel free to reach out to me. I will handle it." "What about the financial aspect?" Sean queried. "I'll take care of it," Cynthia assured him. "Excellent. I appreciate forthrightness, Ms. Yates," Sean responded, a satisfied smile crossing his face. "Please don't inform Joshua about this," Cynthia requested, adding a final instruction. If Joshua wanted no involvement with her, then he had no need to know of these arrangements. Once he was better, they could simply resume their distant acquaintance, free of any disturbances. Sean's mind was already racing with the sound of clinking coins. He could practically see a mountain of money waving at
Moe was always serious when it came to work. For him, Arch International Group held special significance, and he wanted to do everything well, ensuring that Cynthia would make a lot of profit.After half an hour, Moe smoothly reported everything and was about to leave when Cynthia called him, "Momo, wait." Moe stood in place."What did you mean when you messaged me yesterday about someone's plotting against me?" Cynthia asked directly.Moe hesitated to speak, but Cynthia did not rush him."People are gossiping about your relationship with Mr. Quier," Moe phrased it differently.Matthew?Cynthia was taken aback.Moe was curious and asked, "Ms. Yates, are you involved with Mr. Quier? Lately, you've been running errands with him, and not including me."The most important thing was that Moe used to pick her up and drop her off for work, but now Cynthia drove herself. As the boss, she should be driven, not drive herself.Cynthia noticed the slight change in emotion on his calm e
On that day, Cynthia had just finished work and returned home when she received a call from Felix. The conversation, as usual, revolved around Joshua."How is Joshua doing?" Felix sounded gently, trying not to pressure Cynthia.Cynthia truthfully replied, "Sean said his condition is still unstable, and they'll update me once it stabilizes.""Old Man Neal asked me if Joshua would come back for the New Year. If he can't recover before the New Year, I might need you to help," Felix continued."Okay," Cynthia agreed.After discussing a few more things, Felix hung up the phone.Cynthia sat on the couch, gripping her phone, feeling heavy. After much consideration, she decided to make a phone call to Sean.Sean answered the call while discussing something with Joshua. When he saw it was Cynthia, he frowned. Nonetheless, he still stood up and walked to a window before answering, "Hello, Ms. Yates.""How is Joshua's condition?" Cynthia asked."It's still unstable," Sean replied."I
Cynthia could understand each word individually, but when they were put together, she became confused. Pointing to the first point, she asked with great difficulty, "Did… something happen to him?""Nothing major. He's doing well. He can eat and drink. It's just that there are some minor issues I haven't been able to resolve." Sean downplayed the situation.Upon hearing this, Cynthia felt reassured. She did not think much of it and assumed Joshua must have found out about Sean contacting her privately. If that were the case. she would call Felix and ask him to take Joshua away after making sure Joshua was fine. As for the losses Sean mentioned, they were just minor issues."Alright," Cynthia said, taking his pen to sign the document. However, Cynthia suddenly hesitated.Sean, feeling anxious, pretended to be calm and asked, "What's wrong?" "Are you hiding something from me?" Cynthia looked at Sean. If she remembered correctly, Joshua made a deal with Sean to save her, and k
Cynthia concluded instantly that Joshua had lost his memory. Sean walked over, smiling gently. "That's right. She's your sister. You can go home with her now."Joshua stared at Cynthia. Then, he stood up and approached Cynthia, asking with confusion and curiosity, "Are you really my sister?""I..." Cynthia tried to speak."Yes, she's your sister," Sean interrupted, taking over the conversation, and added, "Pack your things. Your sister and I have something to discuss."As he spoke, Sean gestured for Cynthia to follow him out.Outside in the corridor, Cynthia's heart was in turmoil. She had considered various symptoms mentioned by Yves before, but she had not expected this. "What exactly happened?" Cynthia asked Sean."He lost all of his memories, and his intelligence is about that of a five-year-old child. Although it's unfortunate, it's already much better than other scenarios." Sean did not hide anything and explained the situation, also going over some important points.
Cynthia agreed, "Okay." Sean felt relieved. After all, Cynthia was K, and K was trustable. "The things he told you at the hospital were instructions he gave me beforehand. During the journey to the hospital, he regained consciousness once and told me to relay those messages to you if his condition worsened," Sean explained.Cynthia frowned. Sean continued, "He doesn't want you to feel guilty or blame yourself. He believes those things are his responsibility.""So, you're saying he didn't wake up at the hospital?" Cynthia quickly concluded."Not only did he not wake up, but his condition was severe," Sean revealed openly. After all, it was all in the past. "If it weren't for me treating him, he would've been dead long ago."Cynthia froze, unable to express her feelings."I'm not particularly clear about what happened between you, but based on Joshua's actions after he got injured, he truly loved you," Sean spoke as an observer.Sean admired Joshua's willpower. Despite the ci
Nevertheless, there were some questions that Cynthia did not know how to answer, such as the one before. If she comforted Joshua like an ordinary five-year-old, what would happen if he thought she still liked him after he recovered? Yet, she also could not appear indifferent as his current mental state was that of a five-year-old, a sensitive period, and children were perceptive to the smallest details. With these thoughts in mind, they arrived at Cynthia's apartment.When Cynthia got out of the car, Joshua followed suit, carrying his belongings, and silently trailed behind. Then, she took him into the elevator and went up.Coincidentally, as they stepped out of the elevator, they ran into Matthew, who was about to leave with Jimmy. Jimmy looked at the two coming out from the elevator, widening in disbelief. "Cynthia, you..."What the hell?What was going on?Why was Cynthia with Joshua again?"I'm just bringing him back for recovery," Cynthia explained simply.Matthew
