The man, whose handsome face was riddled with melancholy, snapped out of his trance

and glanced at Sophia silently when he heard her calling him.

The bedroom window was opened, allowing the gentle breeze to blow in, which caused the

white curtain to dance around the man. It was quite a beautiful sight to behold if one had

a thing for this kind of aesthetics.

As though accustomed to the man not speaking, Sophia did not pay too much mind to his

silence. Instead, she walked over to the window to close it before turning to him to ask,

“Your lunch is untouched, so I’m guessing you haven’t eaten. What about your medicine?”

“I’ve already taken them.”

Sophia glanced at the medicine bottle on the bedside table. “Zachary, the reason we

came back to this city is to help Dad sell off all his assets here. We’ll have less of a

headache once that’s done since we won’t have to worry about the business dealings here

anymore.”

Zachary showed no response at having heard her. Instead, he kept his eyes fixed outside

the window as he asked, “Have I been to this city before?”

Sophia was stunned before a look of guilt flashed across her eyes. She squeezed out a

smile and said, “N…No. You were born in Molomia and lived there all your life. This is your

first time coming to this city.”

Zachary narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. “Then why does it feel like I’ve been here before?

All the streets look so familiar…”

Sophia chuckled nervously and said, “Well, that’s not surprising since all big cities look the

same now. You’re just overthinking things. Anyway, what do you want for dinner? I’ll get

room service to deliver it later.”

“Whatever is fine. But I want to take a bath first.”

“Sure.” Sophia gently pushed him toward the bathroom.

Once inside, Jeremy stopped the wheelchair with his hand and then said glumly, “Here’s

fine. You can go out now.”

“The bathtub here is different from the one at home. Why don’t I get in with you? That

way, I can help you scrub your back as well,” said Sophia kindly.

Zachary put up his hand. “No, thanks. You go watch Benjamin. I’ll be fine by myself.”

Since he was so adamant, Sophia decided not to insist. She simply smiled and said,

“Alright. I’ll go play with Benjamin first. Don’t lock the door, and call me if you need any

help.”

“Mm,” responded Jeremy. He wheeled himself in further and locked the door from the

inside.

Sophia stared at the bathroom door for a long while with clenched fists before finally

turning to look for Benjamin.

…

Zachary slowly took off his shirt before unbuttoning his pants. He then heaved himself up

to let his pants fall from the floor, revealing his two skinny legs.

After that, he heaved himself clumsily into the bathtub before turning on the tap to let the

water flow.

He had been wheelchair-bound for the past three years. However, he was not really

crippled. It was just that the muscles on his legs had atrophied so much that they could

not support his weight anymore.

He was told that his legs became like that after a car accident. Yes, he was told because

he had no memories of what happened in his life before the last three years. Everyone

around him told him he had broken his legs and lost his memory in the car accident.

They also told him his name was Zachary Finnix, aged 33 years old, and had been living in

Molomia all of his life. Also, both of his parents were dead, and he was taken in by Adam

to be his godson.
