Chapter 80
As Audrey heard this, she squinted and looked at Wendy.
“Before the age of five? Why, does that mean I’m not like myself after the age of five? I can’t remember much about what happened before I was five,” Audrey said.
“Well, you were still young, so it’s normal not to remember. After all, it’s been so many years. But if there’s anything different, there is. You were more lively and outgoing at the age of five. I always felt you were too restrained before then,” Wendy said.
Audrey thought, Five years old?
Audrey remembered. All the memories in this body started after the age of five. There was nothing before that.
Feeling even more puzzled, Audrey suddenly asked, “Wendy, did anything happen when I was five?”
Wendy thought for a moment before shaking her head.
Wendy said, “No, at that time, Miss Vivienne, your mother, took you out for a week, and you played outside. Miss Vivienne usually took you out for a week every month, so there was nothing unusual. It’s just that after that week, you came back more lively and lovely than before. And after that week, Miss Vivienne never took you out for trips again.”
Listening to Wendy’s words, Audrey’s confusion deepened.
In Audrey’s memories, Vivienne had always been a gentle and loving mother, comforting and encouraging her when she made mistakes.
Audrey remembered Vivienne saying, “It’s fine. You are still young. When you grow up, you will be amazing. As long as you grow up happily and healthily every day, I will always be with you.”
But Audrey’s memory of Vivienne was cut off one day.
“Wendy, what was I like before I was five?” Audrey suddenly became curious. What was missing in the memories of the original host’s first five years?
Who was the person who saved her, and had they appeared in those missing five years?
Or why didn’t the original host’s memories contain such gestures and people, yet she inexplicably felt familiar?
Wendy said, “Before the age of five, you were like a beautiful doll, but you had a cold and stubborn personality, like a little adult. You wouldn’t back down in fights, not at all like a typical five–year–old girl.”
Wendy finished speaking and looked at Audrey, somewhat puzzled. “Why are you suddenly interested in your childhood?”
Audrey said, “Nothing, I’ve just been dreaming about some childhood memories lately, but I can’t remember them clearly, so I thought I’d ask.”
Wendy asked, “I see. Did you dream about Miss Vivienne? Do you miss her?”
Wendy looked at Audrey, feeling a bit sorry for her, not suspecting Audrey’s words at all.
Audrey didn’t say much, just nodded lightly.
In the hospital ward.
Brian sat by the bedside, his eyes fixed on Dylan, his face showing a look of confusion, much like Audrey’s
“What do you want to say to me? Dylan looked at Brian, gazing into those familiar eyes, his voice softening.
“I probably won’t be able to come see you anymore in the future Brian looked at Dylan and said, his bright eyes still fixed on him.
Dylan’s gaze softened, and then he asked, “Alright, then can I come see you after I’m discharged?
Brian hesitated a bit, looking at Dylan, and said, “Don’t you want to know why I can’t come see you anymore?”
“I probably know,” Dylan knew that Audrey didn’t like him, and Brian was probably afraid of upsetting her.
“Okay, Brian said somewhat dejectedly.
Brian looked at Dylan and reminded him, “Then you must come find me in the future!”
“Mmm, I will come find you. Dylan reached out and rubbed Brian’s head, his actions gentle and indulgent.
Brian pondered for a long time before couldn’t help but ask, “Are you going to be with Audrey in the future?”
Dylan smiled gently and patted the little guy’s head. “Do you want us to be together?”
“Will you be together if I want it?” Brian blinked his bright eyes, staring at Dylan.
Yes if you want it, I will try my best to win Audrey back!” Dylan nodded earnestly and firmly.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Oh, but I still stand on Audrey’s side. You can’t do anything to hurt her. Otherwise, neither Lucas nor I will let you off,” Brian said.
Thinking of Dylan’s crimes, Brian glared at him again.
Dylan said, “How could I?” How could he bear to hurt Audrey again?
After sitting with Dylan in the hospital room for a while, Brian planned to leave.
“I’ll have someone escort you downstairs,” Dylan said.
The danger hadn’t been resolved yet. Although Dylan had people secretly protecting Brian, the hospital was crowded, and he still wasn’t at ease.
“No need, Callum is waiting downstairs for me,” Brian said.
“Be good, or I won’t feel at ease!” Dylan looked at Brian seriously
Brian pursed his lips and then nodded. “Okay!”
Dylan called someone in to take Brian downstairs, and his subordinate led Brian out of the ward towards the elevator. Dylan’s floor was on the eighteenth, and when the elevator reached the fifteenth, it paused briefly as someone entered. Brian, looking at the opening elevator door, caught sight of a figure passing by outside.
After a moment’s thought, he realized it was the same person who had previously bullied Audrey.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, Brian pressed the open button and stepped out.
Dylan’s men followed closely behind as they exited the elevator, trailing Brian.
Brian watched as the figure entered one of the rooms. Unable to resist, he stole a few more glances before turning and leaving, heading back into the elevator to go downstairs.
As soon as Brian left, the closeid door of the room swung open, and a person came out, his gaze filled with malice as he watched Brian’s departing figure.
It wasn’t until Brian had gotten into his car and driven a distance that Dylan’s men finally left.
Brian kept an eye on the rearview mirror, and as soon as he saw the person leave, he immediately called out to stop the car, Callum, stop the car! I forgot something and need to go get it!
“Brian, we can’t park here. I need to find a spot to turn around, Callum replied.
Callum maneuvered the car to the hospital’s entrance and asked. “Brian, what did you forget? I’ll accompany you to get it.”
No need Callum. Just wait for me here. I’ll be right back,” Brian said as he opened the car door and rushed into the hospital.
Callum couldn’t park the car at the entrance, so he decided to move the car forward a bit, assuming that since Brian had gone up alone earlier, there wouldn’t be any problem. He planned to park the car properly before entering the hospital.
Meanwhile, Brian took the elevator up to the same floor as before and walked straight to the door of the ward.
He glanced around, intending to check the situation inside the room, when suddenly, the door was yanked open, causing Brian to stumble inside.
Downstairs, Callum waited for Brian for a long time, repeatedly calling him but received no response. His expression changed as he realized something was wrong. He immediately dialed Audrey’s number.
“Ms. Hernandez, Brian is missing. I’ve been trying to call him, but his phone is unreachable,” Callum said.
