“Sir! Sophia left!’ Edmund finally reported to Lucas. Through the peephole, he saw the door opposite


    them open as a nearly-dressed Sophia carried her handbag and left the room.


    It was slightly earlier than the appointed time, so he narrowed his eyes and said, ’I’ll go talk with that


    good-for-nothing a-hole. Tell someone to stand guard outside, and let me know if she returns


    unexpectedly.”


    Edmund nodded in acknowledgment. “Yes, sir.”


    Lucas opened the door and made sure Sophia was no longer in the corridor. Hethen swiftly moved


    forward and knocked on the door across from him.


    After approximately a minute, the suite’s door opened.


    Just like the previous day, Lucas had to lower his gaze to see Zachary seated in a wheelchair.


    Zachary looked up at him, and his calm gaze seemed unsurprised at Lucas’s early visit. “You’re here.”


    Lucas immediately sought confirmation, “That woman won’t be returning anytime soon, right?”


    Zachary nodded. “Come on in.”


    Lucas entered the suite upon Zachary’s invitation. Theyout of the suite was nearly identical to the


    one across from it.


    Zachary raised his chin slightly to gesture toward the sofa. “Have a seat. I’ll get you something to


    drink.”


    Lucas raised his hand and replied, “No thanks. I’m not here to get a drink.”


    Zachary had already turned toward the pantry to fetch a drink, but he decided against it after hearing


    Lucas. He came back to the lounge and said, “Okay, then. Fire away your questions.”

    Lucas gazed into Zachary’s eyes before looking at his legs. It seemed as though they were unable to


    support the man anymore.


    Lucas was quiet for a moment before asking, “What happened to your legs? n


    “A car ident,” Zachary replied.


    Lucas sneered. “So let me get this straight. Your amnesia is also a result of the car ident?”


    Zachary nodded. “ording to everyone else, yes.”


    Lucas’s eyebrow twitched as he asked coldly, “ording to everyone else? N


    Zachary had an indifferent expression. He provided whatever information he knew and said, “It’s


    because of the amnesia that my life experiences and memories are all recounted to me by other


    people.”


    Lucas scrutinized Zachary’s face as if trying to discern if thetter was being truthful. He could not find


    any trace of guilt, so Lucas questioned again, “How did the child next to youe to be? Don’t you


    remember anything about him?”


    Zachary replied, “No. I was told that Benjamin is the child I fathered with Sophia. He’s been around for


    as long as I can remember.”


    Lucas was seething with hatred and resentment as he remembered all that Corinne suffered over the


    years. He clenched his fists and said, “How convenient. You’ve forgotten everything, and you’re living a


    very carefree life now! Allow me to enlighten you then. That child was taken from Corinne in the


    delivery room under the pretext that you were her husband!”


    Zachary appeared taken aback, and a trace of doubt crept into his expression. “Corinne? Are you


    saying that I was married to a woman named Corinne?”


    Lucas wanted to nod, but could Jeremy and Corinne be considered husband and wife when there had


    not been any marriage license between his sister and that ungrateful man?
