Angeline was stunned. Her eyes suddenly burned with tears.She didn't accept the friend request but only responded with, "No need. Please throw it away for me, thank you."After switching her phone screen off, she stared out the window with a hand on her cheek.Angeline's indifferent face and gauze-wrapped head were vaguely visible through the raindrops on the glass window.She'd thought she'd be able to pursue the love she'd had when she was younger after waking up, as well as find her happy ending. Perhaps someone like her was never destined for a happy ending.Angeline had grown tired after being the only one to keep that promise both she and Ned had made to one another.From now on, she was going to live only for herself.Angeline was grateful that she had survived that car accident. Life was short but vast at the same time. Besides Ned, she still had Anne and Henrietta, as well as her passions and studies.As the train picked up speed, Angeline was given a view of a rain-w

"You worry too much." Miles exhaled some smoke. "Angeline may not have the best background, but she's always been proud and clear of mind. As far as I recall, she's always been a woman of her word, especially when it comes to you…""What do you mean?"Miles didn't respond immediately to Ned's question. He gazed at Ned with a complex expression and said, "Ned, now that you've divorced Angeline, it's best to move on from your past with her and focus on being with Ingrid."When Miles saw how quiet Ned was at that, he suddenly straightened up. "Be honest with me. Did you remember something?""No," Ned persisted, flicking off some ash from his cigarette. "I'm just concerned Angeline will come back and try to interfere in my relationship with Ingrid."Miles thought about Angeline's expression and behavior when Ned and Angeline had gotten their divorce registered. He said confidently, "Based on what I know of Angeline, she really did let go of you on the day you two went to get divorced.

Chapter 43

The Family Search had its episodes filmed on Wednesdays before broadcasting them on Oceanford TV and several online platforms at 8:00 pm on Fridays. The scene where the show's guests accidentally pushed Ingrid down the flight of stairs had already increased the hype for the show. Furthermore, a topic such as a daughter searching for her lost mother after she was abducted as a child had garnered a lot of attention from society at large.That was why when the streaming platforms began scheduling the episode for broadcast, the waitlist length for the show increased tenfold. The total number of viewers exceeded the viewer count of every past episode.Angeline didn't pay attention to any of this, however.She met up with James Dickson on Friday, a refined gentleman.James briefed Angeline about the research topic's confidential nature and let her sign a non-disclosure agreement to prevent the research information from being leaked. He then brought Angeline around to familiarize her wi

Around 7:30 pm, the other students said they wanted to celebrate Angeline's arrival. So they brought her over to a restaurant opposite the university to have dinner."Professor said tonight's dinner to celebrate our new teammate is on him!" Reese declared, handing menus to everyone."Wow! How happy is the old man to have Angeline onboard? He's being so generous tonight!" Reese's girlfriend, Marion West, handed Angeline a menu. "Hurry up and take advantage of it, Angeline! The professor is usually really frugal!""Get some non-spicy meats as well. Angeline can't eat spicy food!" Alva told Marion, who was ordering.The barbecue restaurant was packed with noise and chatter. Smoke from sizzling meats filled the place as the waiters rushed back and forth between the tables. All of them greeted and thanked the customers as they entered and left the restaurant.Angeline's seniors kept telling her stories about James' adventures finding talented people to join their team. Laughter continu

Nonetheless, Angeline felt amused when she recalled how Ned had only posted those photos to make Ingrid stay."Bah, what a jackass!" Marion despised men like this."Honestly, a man like him is disgusting!""Women are always the victims in situations like this!" Angeline's seniors began insulting the 'guy' immediately, not asking who Jodie was whatsoever. Angeline looked up at the TV again.Juliet was using incredibly bad language in the program. Ian, the host, interrupted the old woman with a cough. "After our thorough investigation, our program has confirmed that Benjamin Emmerson's mother is deceased…"Juliet interrupted the host instantly. "Benjamin's grandfather is still alive!" Juliet yelled, clapping her hands together. "His grandfather only has one daughter which is Benjamin's mother. He has no other kin now that she's passed away! He will never seek out his granddaughter, that whore Jodie! "Benjamin is a boy! He should be in contact with his grandfather. It's that

Marion said angrily, "What kind of tricks do these shameless people have up their sleeves? They abducted the old man's daughter who ended up dying after that, and now they're trying to get his assets?"The TV program was coming to a close.Ian faced the camera and said patiently, "Besides contacting Benjamin's grandfather, we also contacted Benjamin's sister. She has provided us with an audio recording which will be played on our next episode."This was followed by a shot of Benjamin's face, which immediately became cautious. "What audio recording?"The camera then panned to George, who stood up angrily and yelled, "Jodie is a shameless whore who's slept with everyone in her college. How could you believe her words?"Ian remained unmoved. "That's all for this episode, folks. We'll meet again in the next one!""Hey, are they wrapping up this episode just like that? Why didn't they hint at what the audio recording would be about?" Marion asked frantically, extremely curious about t

Chapter 47

Someone found Angelina's social media and began insulting her through direct messages, calling her a criminal and human trafficker's spawn.The Family Search did manage to hype up its latest episode's content just like Ian had said. Maybe Angeline would be the one put under the spotlight first.Angeline had guessed this would happen so she wasn't as anxious. In fact, she hoped the hype would increase. That way more people would anticipate the next episode and her plan would be more successful.After her shower, she set her phone down and prepared to sleep. Just then, her phone vibrated.When Angeline saw that it was Anne's number, she answered the call, "Anne…""It's me, Angie," Zachary's voice rang out. "Anne's been in an accident."Angeline's hair instantly stood on end. She got out of bed and began packing her luggage. Her voice still trembled uncontrollably when she asked, "W-What do you mean by that?""Anne got into a car accident. She's at my sister's hospital right now."

"Sir, I have news from Oceanford. Ms. Angeline's adoptive mother got into a car accident after seeking Mr. Fletcher out. She didn't survive," Taylor said over the phone call.Sean tensed immediately, his grip tightening around his phone. "Got it."After hanging up the phone, Sean grabbed his coat from the chair and put it on. "There's an urgent matter I need to deal with.""Spend more time with Ms. Monica." Robert sat back in his chair, leg crossed over the other. He took a book from the table to his side and continued, "You're bound to be the family patriarch. Having the Scott family's support will help secure your position."Robert's implied meaning was that he was immensely pleased with Monica Scott marrying into the family, so Sean had to feel the same way whether he liked it or not.Sean knew it would be a long way to go before Robert would accept Angeline.Being the only child in her family, Jessica had been doted on by her family since young. She had been tormented to hel

Angeline dialed Zachary's number as soon as she left the airplane. "How's Anne?"Zachary didn't dare tell Angeline the truth. "She… She's still undergoing surgery."After hanging up the phone, Angeline didn't bother queuing up to get a taxi. She barged into someone else's ride before anyone could stop her.The driver originally wanted to force Angeline to go back in line, but when she told him the hospital's address with reddened eyes, he immediately drove to the destination. He even consoled her, "Is your loved one at the hospital, kid? Don't panic! We should reach the hospital in a jiffy. There's not a lot of cars on the road right now.""Okay," Angeline mumbled, her fingers turning white because of how hard they gripped her phone.Zachary awaited Angeline's arrival outside the hospital entrance with an umbrella in hand. He paced back and forth as he waited, repeatedly rehearsing how to break the news of Anne's death to Angeline later.But death was death. No matter how Zachary

"Anne… Anne!" Angeline croaked out softly, throat clogged with pain.Tears finally flowed freely from her eyes. "Anne!"Angeline clutched onto Anne's arm, crying. "You promised you'd make me beef stew and meatballs!"She didn't want Ned anymore. She really didn't want him anymore. She only wanted Anne to come back to life.Zachary's eyes reddened as he stood outside the morgue listening to Angeline sob her heart out. He rarely ever saw her cry when they grew up together. Angeline didn't even cry when she woke up from her coma only to hear that her beloved Ned had amnesia and lost his past memories. Angeline had only wiped her tears away and said she would make Ned regain his memories.She had never had such a terrible breakdown.Zachary had thought Angeline was as cold and distant as others said and that she was able to calmly deal with whatever obstacles she faced.Zachary waited outside the morgue for nearly two hours until the sounds of crying ceased from within. Only then
