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
Cynthia tidied up a guest room and told Joshua, "You'll sleep in this room. There are new toiletries in the bathroom. If you need anything, just come and find me.""Okay," Joshua stood there, obediently agreeing.Cynthia added, "Freshen up and go to sleep."Joshua stood still.Recalling Sean's remarks, Cynthia asked, "What's wrong?"Joshua lowered his head, fidgeting with his fingers before finally speaking up, "I don't have clean clothes to change into."He did not want to trouble Cynthia, but...Cynthia replied, "Go ahead and wash up. I'll borrow a set of clothes for you from next door."Matthew's and Joshua's body types were similar, so borrowing his pajamas should not be a problem. As for his everyday clothes, she would have Yoel bring two sets tomorrow. Just as she said that, there was a knock on the door.Cynthia opened the door and saw Matthew holding a bag, handing it to her. "You probably don't have suitable pajamas for him. These are new and haven't been worn."
However, Cynthia believed Joshua was feeling guilty rather than love. During the one-month cooling-off period after their divorce, they were unhappy, filled with endless arguments and misunderstandings. Given Joshua's personality, Cynthia believed that he would want to make amends once he truly realized the situation. Perhaps their time on Queneska Island was his way of making amends.Unable to figure it out completely, Cynthia decided to stop dwelling on it. Whether it was love or guilt, it no longer mattered.A dreamless night passed.The following day, Cynthia woke up to some commotion in the living room. She rubbed her still groggy head, dressed, and opened the door. As she walked into the living room and saw someone bustling around the dining table, she froze.What was happening? Had Joshua recovered?As if sensing Cynthia's presence, Joshua arranged the breakfast, appearing excited. "Good morning! I made breakfast. Would you like to try it?"Cynthia approached the table
Joshua's situation needed to be resolved. If Felix wanted to take him back, Cynthia would have to take them to the airport. If Felix wanted to leave him in Nexuria, she would have to go to Joshua's house and pack some of his personal belongings.In the study, Cynthia felt a bit nervous as she called Felix. She did not know if Felix would accept Joshua's current condition.The phone connected, and Felix's voice came through. Cynthia did not beat around the bush and said, "Uncle Felix, are you available? I want to talk to you about Joshua's situation.""I'm available. Go ahead." Felix's voice was soft and warm."I brought Joshua from Sean's place to my house last night. He's physically fine, but..." Cynthia said.The words that followed were difficult to say. After all, amnesia combined with mental regression was no small matter.After hearing that Joshua was physically fine, Felix felt a sense of relief, and his tone noticeably lightened. "It's alright, just tell me what you
Felix did not say much, keeping certain matters brief. Under normal circumstances, Joshua would not pretend to have amnesia or act like a child. Now that he truly had amnesia and his mental state regressed, he would surely pretend once he gradually recovered. After all, like father, like son, Felix believed he understood his own son.After their conversation, Felix left the Neal Group, wearing his suit jacket, and headed home to report the situation. Of course, he gave the slightly modified version with some lies added.After hanging up the phone, Cynthia called Yoel to tell him she would bring Joshua over. Once the call ended, she made preparations and took Joshua out.Joshua felt a bit uneasy sitting in the car. He did not know where Cynthia was taking him and wondered if she no longer wanted him."Joshua," Cynthia called out to him.Joshua glanced at her, replying obediently, "What is it?" Cynthia decided to tell him in advance and gauge his reaction. "I'm taking you to
