Nathan frowned, staring suspiciously at Lucinda in silence.


    Lucinda rified, My intention wasnt deception.


    There are too many people in the hospital.


    I aimed for our enemy to believe my memory was lost, hoping it would lower their guard.


    This way, I could assist in apprehending the culprit.novelbin


    She had intended to keep it from him, but witnessing his profound sadnesspelled her to reveal the truth.


    Nathan was now exceedingly content.


    His wife hadnt lost her memory nor forgotten him.


    Do you recall how the ident urred ten days ago? Lucinda nodded,unching into her ount.


    I was on my way to pick up Destinee from kindergarten when I encountered Siena, Hilliards former patient, by chance.


    Remember her? Yes, I do.


    She gged down my car near the bridge and requested a ride.


    Seeing she was alone and a woman, I agreed.


    As we approached Bay Tunnel, she removed her hat and mask.


    To my shock, she bore a striking resemnce to me.


    It dawned on me it might be a scheme against you.


    I wanted to reach out to you then, but she had a signal jammer and was feeding my location to her aplices.


    Suddenly, severalrge vehicles sped toward us, forcing me off the road and over the guardrail… Nathans heart raced.


    He held Lucinda close.


    What happened next? Thanks to the airbag, I escaped injury.


    I regained consciousness quickly and began sprinting down the valley path.


    Unexpectedly, the enemy closed in swiftly, blocking all escape routes from the valley.


    Forced to change tactics, I turned toward the countryside, where there were more ces to hide… Nathan listened intently, contemting the distance from Bay Tunnel to Hildas mountain residence.


    If Lucinda had been driving, the distance would have been considerable since there was no highway there.


    But if she was on foot, it would be closer after climbing two mountains.


    It rained heavily that day, and someone was chasing me.


    The country road was muddy and slippery.


    I identally fell, rolling down the hill into the stream below the bamboo forest, hitting my head on a stone.


    I passed out.


    When I woke up, Hilda had rescued me.


    But I had been in the rain all night, so I developed a high fever and remained semi-conscious.


    My throat was sore, and I couldnt speak.


    Itsted for two days.


    When I finally woke up again, I saw Hilda with a bag of gold, happily lifting the floor tiles and quietly burying the gold.


    Seeing such wealth in a humble house, I realized my location had beenpromised.


    Hilda might have betrayed me.


    To stay safe, I pretended to have amnesia to lower the enemys guard.


    So thats what happened, Nathan said, his voice tinged with fear.


    He took out his phone and called Lonnie, who was still searching the mountain.


    Search the house on the mountain, especially the two bedrooms.


    Move the tiles and check for any valuable items or photos of Hilda and her family.


    Dont overlook any suspicious evidence.


    Document everything with photos and bring them back to me personally.


    After ending the call, Nathan rested his head on Lucindasp, resembling azy yet dignified cat.


    So, you didnt choose Kyson because you never lost your memory.


    As Lucindas finger traced Nathans neck, she chuckled softly.


    Kyson arrived too quickly.


    Hes focused solely on business now, yet he knew my location before you did.


    It raised suspicions.


    I tested him multiple times, doubting if he had colluded with the enemy.


    What did you find out? Kyson must be manipted by Cory.


    He came to me with determination, yet clueless about the scheme.


    Lucinda barely stifled herughter.


    So, I took this chance to turn him away.


    I wanted him to lead his life and stop fixating on me, Mrs.


    Payne.


    Mrs.


    Payne.
