As much as Pamela was relieved to hear that, her heart still went out to Corinne. “Why don’t you help

the kids wash up and rest a bit? Dinner will be ready soon.”

“Okay, Grandma,” Corinne replied with a nod.

Joey led Christine upstairs while Corinne followed behind them. A few steps later, she noticed ‘Bryan’

was not with them.

She turned back around and saw him standing and looking around with a lost expression as though he

was a deer caught in a headlight.

Corinne picked him up and blamed herself for scaring him by being overly harsh on him.

“Bryan, Mommy’s going to help you wash up. We’ll come down to have dinner with Great-grandpa and

Great-grandma afterward, okay?”

‘Bryan’ said nothing. He simply flopped his head down on Corinne’s shoulder to get a sense of security.

He really liked Corinne’s scent; it soothed him.

Francine made sure Corinne and the kids had gone up before sidling up to Pamela, whispering,

“Grandma, Bryan suddenly cried for his Daddy today. I think Corinne might have been affected… She

might be missing Jeremy…”

‘What? Bryan suddenly cried for his Daddy?’ thought Pamela with shock. She then sighed heavily. “It

hasn’t been easy for Corinne for the past three years. She never once gave up hope that Jeremy would

come back.”

After Corinne bathed Christine, she blew-dry her hair and helped her change into a pair of pink

pajamas. Then, she filled up the bathtub again and asked Joey to bring Bryan in for their bath.

The boys liked to play in the water. She would usually give them some toys, and the boys would play in

the water for a while before washing up.

On the bed, Christine was playing with her doll while Corinne looked up some work-related information

on her laptop.

A piece of land that Holden Group had been wanting to buy would be up for auction the next day.

Jeremy had his eye on that piece of land even before he disappeared. Unfortunately, it was not up for

sale then.

The reason he wanted that piece of land was to build a landmark commercial area in the city. He was

sure the project would be a hit since the location was very promising.

He was not able to fulfill his dream three years ago, so Corinne thought she would do it for him.

Corinne logged into the hacker system she had not touched for a long time to search for internal

information about that piece of land.

She was taking down notes when she suddenly noticed an old friend she had not talked to for a long

time had logged in as well.

She clicked on his profile picture and sent him a message. [Hello, Ghostlord. It’s been a while.]

After some time, he replied to her, [Do we know each other?]

Corinne was stunned. [Aren’t you Ghostlord?]

[Sorry. I was in a car accident three years ago and lost most of my memory because of that.]

‘He lost his memory?’ Corinne found this odd. [Then how come you remember your login password?]

[Muscle memory. My fingers typed the password in on their own accord.]

Corinne politely replied, [Oh. I see. I’m sure only good things will come your way after the car accident.

You’re lucky to have survived. Moreover, you don’t have to worry about the past anymore.]

Ghostlord did not think forgetting about the past was a good thing. In fact, he wanted to know what

happened to him in the past. [Were we friends in the past?]

Corinne thought about it; it would be an overreach for her to call them friends.

[Umm…it’ll be more accurate to say we’re online friends. We’re actually not that close.]

[Then have we seen each other in real life before?]

[Yes, and no. A few years back, we both attended a hacker conference, but we were wearing masks

then.]

[Where was the hacker conference held?]

[Kanton City.]
