Koven looked at his reflection in the mirror, feeling somewhat unfamiliar. These days, people’s attitudes towards him had changed. They kept asking if he had really forgotten.Could it be that he had traveled through time? Koven laughed, thinking that he probably just needed a good night's sleep.Cece was in the living room, eating a freshly peeled apple. Seeing Koven walk over, she stood up and said with a bit of embarrassment, "Koven, I was being rash just now. I hope you don't mind."Koven felt even more embarrassed seeing Cece like this. He had never thought about these things, and he had assumed that Cece would play dumb, making it less awkward for both of them.Cece walked up to Koven and said earnestly, "Koven, ever since you saved me that day and got yourself so badly injured, I haven't been able to forget you. Every one of your actions has stayed in my heart. I..."Koven looked at Cece in confusion. It was true that he had been sick, but he had no memory of saving Cece. C
Selena heard that Koven had been admitted to the hospital again. She quietly arrived at the hospital, dragging her heavy steps. She looked at Koven lying on the bed. She wanted to go in at this moment but convinced herself not to.Koven seemed to see Selena and kept looking at her. In his mind, the image of a woman appeared again, but he just could not remember. He painfully knocked his head, shouting in agony. Seeing him like this, Selena rushed in and stood before him, helpless. She never thought that she would be so awkward and powerless when seeing him.Selena was wearing the clothes from the first time they met today, with light makeup and a basket of fruit in her hand. Koven saw Selena, paused for a moment, and motioned for her to sit down. Selena accepted his invitation and sat in the chair beside him. She started peeling a pear without saying a word.The room was filled with inexplicable awkwardness. The crisp sound of Selena peeling fruit was sharp, and Koven's breathin
Selena visited Lucy that day. She carefully held Lila as she moved around the room, utterly enchanted. "The child really looks like you, and her eyebrows resemble Matthew's," Selena said, smiling at Lucy. "There are some things I don't understand. What happened during those days you were missing? We were all looking for you."Lucy replied, puzzled, "I don't know either. I fell asleep that day, and when I woke up, I was already there. My mom told me that Matthew had arranged for me to stay there for prenatal care and that he would bring me back in a few days, so I didn't think much about it."After a moment of silence, Selena added, "Yes, I thought Melanie might have done something to you. She was involved in drug trafficking and tricked you into going to that place, but she's been brought to justice now."Lucy continued, "Actually, that place was quite nice. No phones, no distractions, no one to disturb you… It was away from the city's hustle and bustle too. It was undoubtedly a p
Koven was discharged from the hospital after a few days. Before he left, the doctor reminded him not to be overly stressed and to make sure to rest. Koven brushed off these reminders. He needed to know the truth and had the right to know.Koven continued to search through every item at home, but this time, everything had changed—the couch, the sheets, the kitchen. Everything was different. At first, Koven thought he had entered the wrong house, but this was indeed his home, the home he had once shared with Selena.Feeling helpless, Koven lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He did not know what to do. Everything was happening in a blur. Many secrets were being kept from him, and he had made many attempts to uncover the truth to no avail.Staring at the ceiling, Koven drifted off to sleep. Outside, the wind blew over the wheat fields, the streams, and the treetops, gently pushing the curtains. The curtains swayed lightly in the wind, like an elegant dancer performing.Exhausted,
At the hospital, Lucy watched her baby boy through the glass window. He was growing stronger, his hair was fluffy, and he was always nibbling on his fingers. She softly called out to him."My baby, look at me!" Lucy laughed joyfully. Beside her, Matthew was even happier as he held Lila, playfully teasing her and then their son.It was a great blessing to their small family to have one daughter and one son. Their little son did not cry when he was born, so he had to stay in the hospital for a few days. Now, he was healthy, and after a few more days of rest, he would be ready to go home."Lila, look at your little brother," Matthew said, holding his daughter and encouraging her to look at her brother inside. Lucy was amused by him. She felt incredibly happy to have such a good husband.Life was short, and it was rare to find someone you loved who would do so much for you. Besides, Matthew was the richest man in the world. He had a good personality, handsome looks, and endless patienc
The wet nurse's name was Venus Thorne. She was born into a wealthy family that later fell into decline. She married a businessman who was rarely home and lived a colorless and uninteresting life. When she gave birth to a son, he was forcibly sent to be raised by her mother-in-law. Venus was helpless and could only cry every day, which made her become haggard. One day, she saw the Leon family's job advertisement. Having nothing else to do, she decided to try it out. When she saw Lucy's daughter, she felt an inexplicable fondness, thinking that her son was around the same age. Every night when she slept, Venus thought of her son. She had only spent a few days with him before they were forcibly separated.Her mother-in-law was a rural woman who had always lived in the countryside. Despite multiple attempts by Venus' husband, Mark Bundaberg, to bring her to the city, she always returned to the countryside after a few days. Over the years, Mark was often absent, and Venus was the o
Koven also arrived at the banquet. As usual, he mingled with the familiar faces, celebrating Matthew's joy at having children and enjoying everything about the party. He seemed so happy and so fulfilled without a care in the world. He drank glass after glass. Every night, he dreamed about that woman—it felt so real, but upon waking, everything was gone.Charlie noticed his state and chatted with him. Hudson also joined in, but no one mentioned Selena.Suddenly, Koven saw a woman. She was there, drinking champagne and watching the lively crowd, enjoying her private evening. Koven asked Charlie who the woman was, but Charlie quickly shook his head, saying he did not know. Koven seemed to see the woman from his dreams, yet her face was so blurry. He walked up to her and greeted her. The woman turned around, and it was Selena.Koven did not speak this time. He stared intently at Selena, not knowing why this woman made him feel this way. "Hello!" Koven greeted first, holding th
Samantha brought many gifts and nutritional supplements to Matthew's home the next day. Gabriella was very enthusiastic toward her, holding her hand and treating her like a daughter. This time, Samantha's father had invested in their company again, so Gabriella had a special fondness for her.In contrast, Matthew did not look at Samantha at all. He was in his room with his baby boy and Chelsea, happily playing with the children. Meanwhile, Lucy was called by Gabriella to cut some fruit. Although she was unwilling, as Gabriella's daughter-in-law, she respectfully obeyed her mother-in-law.Samantha sat on the couch, and Gabriella held her hand. The two chatted and laughed endlessly. When Lucy brought the fruit over, Samantha deliberately ignored her and continued chatting with Gabriella. Matthew called Lucy into the room, and Samantha seized the opportunity to rush in first, knocking Lucy over.Seeing this, Gabriella scolded Lucy, "You're so careless! Get up quickly." Lucy, feelin
