No wonder, Ralph Koch always said, "The you with amnesia is the best."
At that time, Chloe Grant was dissatisfied and retorted.
Now thinking about it, the self after losing memory... is indeed the best, and also the clearest and most understanding.
Back then, when Chloe Grant opened her eyes from the hospital bed, she had no memory at all.
No ten years with Matthew Morgan and Lucas Morgan.
No past where she thought "Lucas Morgan" was good to her, nor any past where she revered Matthew Morgan for being too cold and distant... Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
At that time, Chloe Grant was just a blank slate, opening her eyes, somewhat apprehensive as she looked at the people surrounding her.
To Chloe Grant, everyone was a stranger, and everyone looked at her with worried eyes.
After looking around, her gaze couldn’t shift away from him.
Even though everyone around was worried, he stood the farthest away, yet his gaze was the gentlest and deepest...
In that moment, it was as if something struck Chloe Grant’s heart, and it was at that moment she was utterly determined that he must be the closest person to her in the world.
She only wanted to be close to him, only wanted to be with him.
Chloe Grant laughed bitterly.
The self without amnesia, carrying a reverence for Matthew Morgan, never dared to meet his gaze even once.
In her memory, his eyes had always been sharp, like a boundless abyss, full of the unknown and danger.
So she never knew that every time he looked at her... his gaze was actually very gentle.
Chloe Grant sighed deeply.
She drew the curtains and walked towards the walk-in closet to change out of her pajamas.
"Tomorrow, I’ll find him tomorrow!"
She told herself this.
Just avoid it for one more night today, and once tomorrow comes, she’ll find him.
Whether to ask or to say... she has to find him!
Chloe Grant closed her eyes, shook her head, and pushed away all those anxieties and self-generated illusions.
She didn’t want to think about anything, nor make any assumptions, she just wanted a peaceful sleep.
Once tomorrow comes, she’ll find him!
Chloe Grant lay down on the bed, covered herself with the duvet, and closed her eyes!
Five minutes later...
Chloe Grant opened her eyes helplessly.
She couldn’t fall asleep.
Just then, her phone rang with a message.
Several notifications popped up one after another, ringing incessantly, vibrating non-stop, and Chloe Grant didn’t have the chance to reply to any of them.
Not until the messages stopped did she open WeChat.
There were messages from four people, the first window was from Sophia Fraser, then from Ava Woods, followed by Zoe Graham, and the last one was... from Lucas Morgan.
Lucas Morgan had only sent one message, and it was very short, Chloe Grant could see it without opening the chat: I saw you get home.
Chloe Grant didn’t reply but opened Zoe Graham’s message: Chloe, what happened between you and Sophia? Why did she say you are ungrateful, calling you a betrayer? Did you two have a fight?
There was another message: Chloe, I can’t reach you on the phone, where are you? Sophia Fraser is very angry now.
Just as Chloe Grant finished reading, another message from Zoe Graham came: Don’t reply to anything. If you break up with Sophia Fraser, I’m on your side!
The previous messages were sent around noon, and this one was just sent now, the attitude suddenly changed, Chloe Grant thought, Zoe Graham probably had an argument with Sophia Fraser.
Just as Chloe Grant was about to respond, she noticed some movement near the door, from her vantage point, it seemed like there was a shadow...
Could it be another break-in?
Chloe Grant was startled, her back instantly tingling with fear, without thinking she grasped her phone, slipped her hand back under the covers, and muted her phone...
