Five minutes later, Hector stood back up and said calmly, "From what I can tell, Chet's brain was probably injured from the impact. That's why his memories are in a mess right now."

Jean frowned and asked, "Then, what should we do?" She thought it was ridiculous for Chester to mistake his former niece-in-law for his wife.

"I can't promise you when he'll recover, but a messed up memory won't impact his life that much." Right after Hector said that, Jonathan glared at him and asked, "Are you saying that he might not regain his memory ever again?"

Clearly feeling the hostility coming from Jonathan, Hector said with his eyebrows raised, "I didn't say that. However, we doctors aren't gods, and we'll have to leave this to fate. He might get better in a short while or a few years—no one can say for sure."

With that, the whole ward fell into silence.

Jean had a throbbing headache, and she rubbed her eyebrows, feeling exhausted. Since things had already turned out that way, there was no po

    Chester lay on the hospital bed with white gauze wrapped around his head. His face looked pale, and his eyes were dark. Compared to his usual noble appearance, he looked more fragile at the moment.Giselle couldn't help thinking about what he told her before he passed out that day. "Don't worry, Gigi."With that sentence from him, she couldn't reject any request from him at all, even if it was something trivial like feeding him apples. So, she cut the apple into smaller pieces and used a fork to feed him.Since Chester had just woken up, he couldn't eat too much. So, even if he insisted on eating more, she would say no. Chester had no choice but to give up, and Giselle ended up finishing the rest of the apple slices.After a few minutes, Giselle returned to the bedside after washing her hands. She couldn't help wondering how Chester thought they first met now that his memories were all mixed up."Mr. Fordham, do you… do you still remember where we first met?"Chester looked away

    However, after investigating for so long, they still couldn't find any clues.The driver that caused the crash died on the spot, and the autopsy concluded that he was drunk driving. The driver also had a simple background. His parents were dead, and he had always been aloof. He didn't have any friends in Seaworth City and lived in a run-down basement.There was no way he would have anything to do with a perfect man like Chester, let alone have a grudge against the latter.Chester narrowed his eyes slightly as he already had a suspicion in his mind. "There was a guy named Joshua Mandell in the laboratory previously. He ran away after stealing some lab result data. I went abroad last time because of this."After Chester caught Joshua, he punished the latter for a while. However, Joshua managed to escape when Chester wasn't paying attention. According to Chester's investigation, Joshua had a special relationship with Charlotte.If the car crash this time had something to do with him,

    Silence ensued on the call as Emma's question stumped Giselle. Was Chester faking his amnesia? Giselle figured he had no reason to do that.When Giselle didn't say anything, Emma became anxious. "Hey, Gigi! Are you listening?""Yeah." Giselle returned to her senses, but her mind was in a mess. So, she couldn't answer Emma's question for the time being. In order to stop Emma from talking about it, Giselle changed the subject."Is Linda still visiting your company recently?"The Grants were in a mess at that moment as Harold's affair had already proven to be true. As for having an illegitimate son, the Grant family wasn't sure about it just yet. They had no evidence, and there was no way Harold would admit it that easily.In the eyes of the law, if Linda wanted to get a divorce, Harold would be the one at fault. Thus, he would be on the losing side when splitting their assets. He had worked hard on his company for more than half of his life, so he would never give half of their asse

    Giselle shifted to a more comfortable position. Since she was bored, she scrolled through Charlotte's profile on the live streaming platform and watched the latter's live stream.Charlotte had exquisite makeup on, and she had luxurious-looking bookshelves behind her, making her look extremely classy. Seeing how great she was doing at that moment made Giselle think that someone was behind Charlotte's success.Giselle didn't think Charlotte was smart enough to upgrade her setup so suddenly. After all, from what Giselle could remember, Charlotte was a stingy person. It might have to do with Charlotte's upbringing, but she was really calculative when it came to spending money.Thus, even after she returned to her actual family, she still couldn't get rid of that habit. When Giselle was kicked out of the Grant family back then, Charlotte came up with the idea to make Giselle pay them for taking care of her.Charlotte didn't make it too obvious and beat around the bush. However, she dema

    Giselle was left speechless, thinking how Chester's aloof image was completely destroyed now that his memories were in disarray. Although he was only calling her dear by text, she could practically hear it. Suddenly, she felt uneasy and didn't know how to reply to him.Just as she was hesitating, Chester's video-call came in. She answered it after switching to her phone's back camera. The footage on her phone shook a little before she saw Chester's pale dashing face appear on the screen.After her experience with him last time, she was now calmer. It was as if she had grown immune to his appearance."Hey, dear." His attractive voice came through the speaker and echoed in the huge living room. It was windy outside, and the sound of waves crashing could be heard. Neon lights shone brightly from the cityscape. Giselle ignored the weird feeling in her heart and calmly answered with a hum.Chester couldn't help looking happy when he received a response from Giselle. Since he didn't have

    Looking at the call time of an hour, Chester smiled a little, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow over his eyes. He habitually took a screenshot and hid the name before uploading the picture online with the caption, "Good night."His last post on social media was less than a month ago. It might be a long time for most people, but this was Chester. He never uploaded a single post in the past, and he only started doing it a lot after meeting Giselle.The first comment came from Sam. Sam: "Were you in a video call with Giselle? Have you guys made that much progress? As expected from you, Mr. Fordham!"Hector: "It looks like someone is going to be heartbroken."Harry: "I was wondering why Giselle's line was busy when I tried calling her. So, she was on a video call with you, huh? Let's plan this out. Next time, call her when I'm done playing video games with her. I need to rank up before the season ends!"Chester didn't reply to any of the comments except for Harry's. "Scram."…

    Right after Joshua said that, the whole room fell silent. Everyone was shocked to hear that Chester had always liked his own nephew's fiancée, and they wondered if that was how wealthy people had fun.They wanted to gossip, and they secretly paid more attention to the conversation without showing it on their faces.Jonathan narrowed his eyes in hostility, and Joshua was satisfied by everyone's reaction. Joshua happily leaned back in his chair and looked so smug that anyone would want to beat him up."Mr. Lawson, you know how I used to work at your uncle's laboratory, right? I was even an important employee there, so I know a lot of things that you don't."Of course, Jonathan knew that. When he first started talking business with Joshua, Jonathan had someone look into his background. All the information he could gather easily was what Joshua wanted him to see. To get more information about Joshua, Jonathan had to spend more effort on it.At first, he didn't know what was going on b

    From what Jonathan could remember, Giselle and Chester never interacted with each other in the past. Since the Grants and Lawsons had a marriage arrangement, Jonathan grew up with Giselle. He knew everyone she had met and befriended with.Chester had been doing his research overseas for the past few years, and he seldom came back to the country. Even when he did come back, he would leave as soon as he returned. So, there was no way for Giselle to interact with him at all.Suddenly, Jonathan realized he had forgotten something important. When they were in university, Giselle went abroad as an exchange student. If he remembered correctly, she seemed to have gone to the country where Chester was situated."Before I left, I entered Chester's office once, and he had a photo of a woman on his desk. When I returned to the country, I realized that woman was your ex-fiancée, Giselle."No one in their right mind would have a photo of their nephew's fiancée on their desk, so Chester clearly h

    After Sebastian finished shouting, the entire hall fell silent.What did he just say? That the reason Wendy wanted a divorce from him was to go look for the man from that night?Wendy's eyes widened in disbelief. "A man?"Sebastian was her first love. Throughout the past 20 years, Sebastian was the only man for her. How could he say that she had some other man? This was a great insult to her!With a loud smack, Sebastian was slapped across the cheek.This blow had unintentionally dragged him back to his senses. As he watched the tears falling incessantly down his wife's cheeks, panic took over him.Sebastian loosened himself from the grip of the two policemen who were restraining him and hurriedly reached out, wanting to hold Wendy in his arms.

Please hear me out…"Yarick did not understand what had just happened. All he knew was that his parents

    Anthony had to have done this to avenge Wendy. The relationship between the two was a mystery to Giselle. However, she could not speculate. Otherwise, it would reflect poorly on Wendy."You're just an outsider, Giselle. This has nothing to do with you!"What happened did not matter to Sebastian. Giselle simply had no right to stick her nose into their business.Giselle was not upset at all. She clicked her tongue twice before saying, "Did I say anything? Stop being so desperate! Why? Do you see yourself as a coward as well?"Sebastian did not hold back as he yelled, "Giselle Stone!"Jim was the first to chide him. "Mr. Grant, this is the police station. Do mind your volume!"It could be said that they favored Giselle. How dare Sebastian yell at the apple of their eye? Now they had no choice but to use their power on him.Sebastian's frustration only deepened, and his expression became dark. He clenched his fists tightly as he tried to control his anger.Meanwhile, Wendy went

    Giselle assumed Fred had seen her online. After all, her dispute with Charlotte had caused quite a stir on the internet and remained a trending topic for almost half a month. It wouldn't be surprising if Fred had come across it.Fred shook his head. "I can't tell you."He knew Chester would be offended if he spilled the beans.Giselle was confused. Why couldn't he tell her? Was it too awkward to explain?Fred kept quiet, and Giselle didn't press him further. She was here to gather information about Anthony, after all. Once that was done, she didn't intend to linger and interrupt the father-son reunion.As she left the office, she found Danny still waiting outside. "Detective Stone." Danny turned to her. His features were sharp and well-defined, and he exuded a domineering presence just by standing there.Danny was the second son of the Stone family.Though he came from a wealthy and privileged family, he chose one of the most dangerous professions. And despite his backgroun

    Sebastian was nothing but a coward.Emma despised men like him the most. Who was he planning to protect if he couldn't even protect his wife and child? They sneered at Sebastian.Just as Wendy was about to call the police, her phone rang."Hello, is this Ms. Scott? This is the Seaworth Police Department. Mr. Grant has been arrested as a suspect for assault," said the caller.Mr. Grant? Wendy was confused about who the officer was referring to. Sebastian was with her, so who could this "Mr. Grant" be? Only Giselle figured out who it was. After the call ended, Giselle said, "It's Anthony."Sebastian knew who Anthony was. For the past two weeks, their household had been filled with Harold and Linda's constant arguments.Anthony's name kept coming up in their disputes, as Linda was sure Anthony was Harold's illegitimate son. She also warned Sebastian to watch out for the man.Anthony wasn't just here to meddle. He was here to fight for the family inheritance.If he was Harold

    Yarick drank his orange juice, the corners of his mouth stained with ketchup.Hearing Giselle's question, he thought carefully for a moment. "Dad is nice to me."Just as Giselle and Emma thought they were overthinking, Yarick added, "Dad buys me whatever I want. But he never hugs or kisses me unless I ask him to. Mom says it's because Dad is too tired."Never initiating affection. That was weird. But why exactly…Giselle felt she needed to investigate this further. She checked her watch and decided it was time to take Yarick back to the hotel.When they returned, the argument between Wendy and Sebastian seemed to have ended.Sebastian was stood by the window, smoking a cigarette, while Wendy sat on the couch, holding back tears.Seeing Yarick come back, Wendy forced a smile. "Yarick, you're back? Come here."Yarick instinctively sensed Wendy's sadness. He nestled in her arms, rubbing his cheek against hers, showing a sensitive side beyond his age. He was a sweet child.

    Children had incredibly sharp memories. By the age of three or four, they could already remember certain events.Yarick was now five years old. Although he seemed cheerful and lively, he kept many thoughts to himself.As they walked to the elevator, Yarick wiggled in Giselle's arms. "You can put me down. I'm heavy."Giselle told him he wasn't heavy but still respected his wishes and gently put him down.Holding his hands on either side, Giselle and Emma walked alongside him. Yarick kept his head lowered, his sadness written plainly on his face.Once out of the elevator, Yarick looked up at Giselle. "Giselle, are Dad and Mom fighting because of me?"Judging from the question, it was clear that Sebastian and Wendy had frequently quarreled even while they were abroad.Emma and Giselle exchanged glances before they began comforting him."Yarick, you're such a sweet boy! Your parents love you so much. There's no way they would fight because of you. Don't overthink it. Come on, we'll

    The familiar voice and tone—it was Anthony. Giselle calmly ended the call, logged into her email, and found the email Anthony sent. She tentatively opened it. At the top of the email was a photo. After skimming through the text below, Giselle quickly understood the situation."What is it, Gigi?" Emma asked curiously.Giselle handed her phone over. "It seems to be information about the thugs from earlier."But how did Anthony have this information? The question lingered until Sebastian arrived, breaking the tense silence."Wendy! Are you alright? Were you hurt? How's Yarick?" Sebastian looked disheveled, his face tinged with worry. He grabbed Wendy by the shoulders, scanning her and the surroundings.However, his expression darkened when he saw Giselle."What are you doing here?" His accusatory tone angered everyone present. Wendy tried to hold herself back but failed. "Sebastian Grant! Giselle is my friend. Watch your tone!"Giselle had gone from being Wendy's sister-in-

    "Why not?" Giselle frowned.She looked at Wendy seriously. "This isn't about you or Yarick. You and Sebastian aren't divorced yet, so he's still your husband and Yarick's father. You've been hurt, and he has the right to know and resolve this issue."Even if they were divorced, Sebastian was still responsible. He was the one who offended these people. Why should his wife and child pay the price? This was ridiculous.Wendy fell silent. Her hands fidgeted as she struggled with her thoughts. After a moment, she accepted Giselle's suggestions. Under the watchful eyes of both Giselle and Emma, Wendy called Sebastian for the first time in days.The phone rang for a while before it was answered. Sebastian's stern voice soon came through. "Have you changed your mind?"Sebastian believed Wendy was just throwing a tantrum by staying outside. On top of that, his work had been keeping him busy, leaving him with no time to coax her.Charlotte had warned him to not coddle women or they would b

    Giselle hurried to the hotel where Wendy was staying. When she arrived, Emma was already there.Yarick was in Emma's arms, his eyes puffy from crying. The moment he saw Giselle, he struggled against Emma to get down. Emma set Yarick on the ground, and he immediately ran toward Giselle."Giselle." He looked up at her with teary eyes, "The bad guys hurt Mom."Half an hour earlier, a group of thugs had barged in and started smashing the room. In the chaos, Wendy was accidentally elbowed in the nose. She was now in the bathroom, trying to stop the bleeding.Emma had come by to speak to Wendy and learn more about her situation, only to witness the mayhem. Fortunately, she managed to snap a picture of one of the intruders.Giselle glanced at the photo and shook her head. "I don't recognize him." She bent down and picked up Yarick before giving him a piece of candy to comfort him.Yarick held the candy tightly and turned toward the bathroom. "Mom was hurt. I want to give the candy to
