"Lilin, take a look around and choose a room for us to stay in. We can share a room. While this house belongs to my friend, we should keep things where they are even though my friend doesn''t live here for the time being."RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Lilin nodded obediently, then asked, "But Mommy, what about my books? They''re still at the hotel!"
Melinda sighed again. "I''ll get them for you in a couple of days."
"Okay!" Lilin ran to check out the rooms as she was told.
Melinda sat down on the couch and thought over her marriage with Adam. She suddenly recalled the woman who saved her life.
''That Corinne girl sure was a special one. Now I understand why Zachary didn''t fall for Sophia, even when he lost all his memory. Sophia is simply no match for Corinne''s selflessness. Come to think of it, Corinne kind of reminds me of someone...''
Coincidentally, Melinda''s train of thought was interrupted by her phone ringing. She took out her phone and saw it was from her best friend, the one she just had in mind.
"Mel, where are you? Adam couldn''t find you, so he called me!" said Emily anxiously after Melinda answered the phone.
Melinda knew the only reason Emily would call at this hour was because of Adam, but she did not want to talk about him.
"I''m alright, so don''t worry. I''m staying at a friend''s house in New Capital City now, but don''t tell Adam."
Emily sighed in relief. "What is it this time? Are you two fighting again? Everything seemed fine when I talked to you over the phone a moment ago. What made you run away from home this time?" "Let''s not talk about it now, okay? It''ll just make me mad all over again," said Melinda.
"Okay. I won''t say another word about him. Mel, it''s fine to take some time away from him to cool down and all, but just promise me you and Lilin will stay safe, okay?"
Melinda nodded. "Don''t worry, Emily. Even if I don''t take my own safety seriously, I''d never let anything happen to Lilin. We''ll be fine."
"Good, give me a call if you need anything!"
"Will do."
When Emily was about to hang up, Melinda suddenly said, "Hold on a second, Emily! There''s something I''d like to ask you."
"What is it?" Emily replied patiently.
Melinda frowned. "It''s about your daughter, Luna. Are you certain she''s passed away?"
Emily fell into silence when she heard the name of herte daughter. After a long pause, she said, "Of course I''m sure. No mother would lie about their children''s death! It''s as good as cursing them!" "Actually... I saw a girl today. She looks just like you, and she''s about the same age as yourte daughter."
"What?! It can''t be. It must be some kind of coincidence."
"Her name is Corinne Carew. I''ll see if I can get a picture of her and send it to you! I may be overthinking, but who knows?"
A 10-seater luxury minivan stopped at the gate of the Holdens'' estate.
Corinne got out of the car, then turned and helped her three children get out of the car one by one. Francine came outst.
They waved goodbye to the people in the car and entered the gate together.
The minivan did not drive off immediately. They waited until Corinne entered.
Annie gave a deep sigh and broke the silence by saying, "Corinne must be so lost now! The man whom she''s been waiting for all these years doesn''t even remember her..."
Aaron grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. "From what I see, I think Boss is putting Mister Jeremy''s safety as the top priority. As long as he''s alive, his amnesia is less of a concern."
