Chapter 811-820


    “Why is it taking so long? Emily isn’t done getting ready yet?”


    “Yes, the bride needs more time to get ready.”


    “I’m the bride! Arthur, I’m the one that you are supposed to marry!” Emily screamed hysterically.


    “I’m sorry. Sophia is the one that I love. I’llpensate you in some other way,” Arthur responded


    coldly.


    Meanwhile, guests had already filled up the hall that could amodate 300 people while Richard and


    Elliot were seated in the second row. Richard kept looking at the time as Arthur should have marched


    into the hall with Emily by that time. He had prepared the evidence and was ready to reveal it to


    everyone there. However, his ns were disrupted when Arthur waste.


    “Why isn’t Arthur here yet? He’s always been punctual, so he shouldn’t bete.” Elliot frowned.


    “Let’s wait for a while more.”


    When Anastasia realized that Sophia was absent, she found out from Grace that Sophia had been


    unwell since morning and had sent her a text message saying that she wouldn’t be attending.


    Anastasia understood how devastated she must have felt, so she didn’t make it hard for her.


    On the other hand, after the makeup artist and stylist reached the hospital, they immediately started


    putting on makeup for Sophia, besides picking out her wedding gown. Since Sophia had a slender and


    proportionate body figure, the wedding gown that the stylist picked out suited her well. As shey in


    bed, she felt fuzzy, but she was firm about her decision to get married. Since her parents weren’t


    invited to the wedding, she would ask for their forgiveness once she returned home. After ten minutes,


    Sophia’s makeup was done, and she removed the infusion needle before putting on the wedding gown.


    Emily, on the contrary, left the hospital in her long wedding gown while looking disgruntled. She looked


    at the bodyguard and demanded, “Send me to the hall.”


    Hearing that, he shook his head and responded, “Young master had instructed us not to send you


    there.”


    Emily bit her lip, feeling disappointed at Arthur for being cruel toward her as he had decided to abandon


    her and marry someone else just because she pped Sophia. Dang it! I shouldn’t have pped that


    annoying sl*t! Argh!


    She took her phone out and dialed her parents’ phone number. “Emily, why aren’t you here yet? We’ve


    been waiting for you for a long time,” her mother gasped.


    “Mom, Arthur will not be marrying me. He had decided to marry another woman.” At that point, all she


    could manage wasin.


    “What? Who is he marrying?”


    “He wanted to marry that b*tch, Sophia. Mom, Why isn’t dad’s drug working? He hasn’t seemed to


    have forgotten her,” Emily questioned while getting all choked up. “Is it because the dosage that Dad


    had administered was low?”


    “Emily, where are you now? I will go over and fetch you. We shouldn’t give up just yet since you are his


    bride who is recognized by Old Madam Weiss, and the whole family is aware of this. Sophia is just a


    nobody. Wait for me there. I’ll be there soon.” Vera was reluctant to give up on her daughter’s


    happiness.


    “Alright, I’ll wait for you here at the hospital.” Emily saw a ray of hope after listening to her mother’s


    words.


    Meanwhile, Sophia, having a fever earlier, had been transformed into a beautiful bride. She was


    dressed in a pure white wedding gown, had delicate makeup on, and was essorized with a diamond


    tiara whichpleted her look.


    “Let’s go, my bride.” Arthur extended his arm, after which Sophia held onto it shyly as both of them


    walked out of the ward. The nurses were surprised by the sight of them. “I heard that Miss Jennings


    should be the bride. But this woman isn’t her,” they whispered. However, they still thought that Sophia


    and Arthur looked good together. As the couple marched out of the hospital, a luxurious limousine


    came into sight.


    After the bodyguard opened the door, Arthur helped Sophia to rearrange her wedding gown train before


    she got into the car. The stylist who wanted to help out could only stand aside and watch the groom


    willingly attend to his bride. However, they were curious whether there were two brides that were


    getting married to him.


    When Sophia sat in the limousine, she patted her chest anxiously and took a deep breath.


    “Don’t be anxious. You won’t regret marrying me.” Arthur held onto her hand andforted her.


    Although he had lost all the memories regarding her, he was adamant about marrying her.


    Hearing that, she looked at him and nodded. Just then, her phone rang, and it was a message from


    Anastasia asking about her condition. She replied with a text that read, ‘Anastasia, I’m doing good. I


    have a surprise for youter on.’


    As she was about to put her phone back in her bag after replying to the text, Arthur suddenly snatched


    her phone away from her, which puzzled her. He immediately scrolled through her photo album.


    “What are you doing?” Sheughed.


    “I want to see what your boyfriend looks like and whether he’s more good-looking than me,” Arthur said


    with jealousy. He couldn’t figure out why she’d sleep with him when she already had a boyfriend.


    Sophia, on the other hand, was calm as she looked at him, scrolling through the photo album. I’ll let


    him be jealous of himself.


    Arthur was puzzled when he saw that all the pictures and videos on her phone were of both of them.


    Some of them were taken secretly, but he had no memory of the sceneries and ces that they’d been


    to. He didn’t know when he had lost his memory. However, he wasn’t surprised at it as he didn’t have


    the memory of them sleeping together as well. After scrolling through her phone for a while, he didn’t


    see any photos of another man.


    “Show me the pictures of your boyfriend.” He was determined to find out who his rival was so that he


    could do his best to defeat him.


    Hearing that, she took her phone back and selected a picture before pointing at the man in it while


    saying, “Here. This is my boyfriend. He’s more handsome than you, right?”


    Arthur was speechless after seeing it. Isn’t that me?


    “Isn’t that me?” He was gobsmacked.


    “That’s right! You’re my boyfriend!” Sophia giggled, looking at how adorable he looked when he was


    confused.


    Upon hearing that, he felt immense heartache. He finally knew why Sophia couldn’t stop crying when


    sheid her eyes on him. It turned out that they were lovebirds, but he had somehow forgotten about


    her.


    As Sophia smiled, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead before saying, “I’m sorry. I don’t


    know why I have forgotten about you, but I will try my very best to find the memories back.”


    Right after he apologized, Sophia’s eyes welled up, but when she was about to cry, she immediately


    lifted her head and tried to hold back her tears. She told herself that she shouldn’t cry or else her


    beautiful makeup would be ruined.


    “Alright, geez. Stop making me cry. I don’t want to ruin my makeup because I’ll look ugly if it does.” She


    wiped the tears off and looked at him as she said, “You promised that you would marry me. I’m happy


    as long as you can fulfill your promise.”


    Have I promised that I would marry her? He wanted to punch himself in the face when he thought of


    how he almost married Emily today. I’d have broken Sophia’s heart if I had married that evil woman!


    “What if you never get your memories back? Would you regret marrying me?” Sophia asked while


    looking down.


    “If you’re the one, I’ll eventually fall in love with you again, so I’ll never regret my decision.” He looked


    her in the eyes and confessed.


    He felt that after meeting Sophia, his world had been more colorful and that he had experienced happy


    emotions, which made his heart beat fast. As he stared into her bright eyes, he could see hope in them,


    which made him look forward to spending the rest of his life with her.


    Sophia’s sweet smile was the best medicine for Arthur’s broken heart. She had taught him how to love


    and appreciate life. The best antidote to Johnny’s drug would be love.


    Suddenly, Martha came into Sophia’s mind, and she asked worriedly, “Would your grandma be willing


    to ept me? What we are doing would hurt her if she refused to ept me.”


    “My grandma hoped for me to be happy. If marrying you makes me happy, she would definitely agree


    to it.” Arthur was certain about it, as his grandmother loved him so much that she’d understand his


    choices.


    He tightened his embrace around Sophia’s waist and had his eyes locked on hers as he smiled. She


    looked so stunning that he was certain that she was the wife he wanted.


    “What are you looking at?” Her face was flushed red as he stared at her.


    “Looking at you.” He stared at her intently as if she would run away if he looked away.


    “After our wedding ceremony, you have to tell me about how we met and when we dated. I want to


    know everything about us,” Arthur said. Those forgotten memories were just too precious to him.


    “Are you sure? You were unfriendly toward me in the beginning.” Sophia raised her brow.


    “Have you forgiven me?” Arthur smiled as he asked.


    “I have long forgiven you!” She smiled shyly, showing her pearly whites.


    Hearing that, he was relieved and looked at the view outside. He then turned over and stared at her lips


    before asking, “Didn’t you put on lipstick?”


    “I did!”


    “But I can barely see it.”


    “What should I do? I don’t have lipstick with me.” She sounded worried as she wanted to look her best


    on her big day.


    “It’s ok. I can help you with that.”


    “Huh? Do you have lipstick with you?” She was surprised that a man like him would have lipstick with


    him.


    The next moment, he held the back of her head and had her body pressed against his. He leaned in


    and topped up her lipstick with his lips.


    “Mmm…” Her face was flushed red.


    Not only did he ‘top up’ her lipstick for her, he even put on blush for her. Although he had amnesia, he


    had his way of getting intimate with her, and that never really changed.


    On the other hand, Emily was waiting for her mother in a cafe nearby the hospital. Soon after, Vera


    rushed over with an assistant, whereupon they rearranged the train of her gown before entering the


    car.


    “Mom…” She buried herself in her mother’s arms as she wailed.


    “Don’t cry. Let’s not ruin your makeup since you’ll be the bride walking up the altarter on.” Vera dried


    her daughter’s tears with a tissue and said firmly, “No one can snatch the wedding from you.”


    “B-But Arthur is bringing the b*tch over to the wedding venue!”


    “So what if she went? She definitely wouldn’t be epted by the old madam since she’d never allow


    an outsider to join the family. Moreover, everyone in the family would oppose Sophia being the


    matriarch.”


    “Mom, is that true? Do I really have a chance?” Emily seemed to have regained some confidence after


    hearing what her mother said.


    “Of course you do. We just have to bring up how Sophia seduced Young Master Weiss in front of


    everyone. Old Madam Weiss and everyone else in the family would definitely oppose their marriage.


    As much as he liked her, he would have to let go because of the pressure from his family. He should


    have thought of how your father brought honor and benefitted the family.”


    After hearing what Vera said, Emily fully regained her confidence as she thought that she was more


    qualified to be Arthur’s wife.


    “Drive faster. We need to be there before both of them enter the hall.” Vera rushed her assistant to


    speed up so that they would reach there soon.


    At that moment, the couple’s limousine stopped in front of the hall. As the bodyguard opened the door,


    he was surprised to see the couple making out and immediately closed the door.


    “Are you done?” She leaned on his chest shyly.


    “Yes. Oh, hey, sexy! I love your ming red lips.” He admired her lips which were red from all the


    kissing.


    “You’re so cheeky.” Sophia hit Arthur’s chest with her fist yfully.


    “Let’s get down the car.” Arthur smiled as he kissed her forehead andforted her.


    “I’m really nervous.” She nodded and clutched her chest nervously.


    “Don’t be scared. I’m here.” He held her hand to reassure her.


    The bodyguards and assistants were all waiting for them outside the car as the car door opened. The


    stylist helped her to rearrange her train while Arthur personally covered her veil for her. Her beautiful


    face could be vaguely seen behind the veil. The towering church building looked majestic and sacred,


    which caught Sophia’s attention. The golden domes of the building glistered as the sunlight shone on it,


    which made it seem holy.


    Both of them walked toward the direction of the chapel, hand in hand. Just then, the steward that had


    been waiting since morning hurried over. “Young Master, you’re finally here. You should hurry, as the


    guests had been waiting for a long time.”


    As the bride’s face was covered with a veil, no one noticed that it wasn’t Emily. Sophia was so nervous


    that her palms were sweating profusely. As she looked at the guests who were smiling at them and


    showering them with good wishes, she bet they thought she was Emily.


    Arthur could feel her sweaty hands and leaned in before whispering, “Everything will be fine.”


    Upon hearing his words, she lifted her head and looked into his eyes through the veil. Marrying him


    was not only the bravest thing she had done in her life, but it was also the best thing that had happened


    to her. Hisforting words gave her the confidence to face whatever woulde to them. She took a


    deep breath, nodded, and walked on the red carpet as she held his hand. When the guests that had


    been waiting the whole morning finally saw the bride and groom, they pped to wee the couple’s


    arrival. After the apuse stopped, the wedding symphony surrounded the chapel.


    Martha, who was seated in the front row, let out a sigh of relief after seeing the arrival of the bride and


    groom. She initially thought that her grandson wasn’t going to proceed with the wedding. She also


    noticed that Arthur’s expression wasn’t as cold as before and that he was beaming with happiness


    while his eyes were filled with warmth and joy. She grinned, thinking of the grandchildren she would be


    getting in the future as there was hope for it.


    Meanwhile, on thewn outside the hall, a ck sedan suddenly came to a halt as the driver mmed


    on the brakes. The friction caused by the skidding created sparks. Just as the car stopped, Emily


    immediately dashed down from the car while her mother was carrying her train so the dust on the


    ground wouldn’t dirty it. When they were on the carpet, the assistant helped to rearrange the train while


    Vera checked her daughter’s makeup.Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Faster, Mom! I can hear the processional music, and they have almost reached the altar.”


    “Alright, let’s go.” She nodded after checking her daughter’s makeup, and they were good to go. She


    then put down Emily’s veil, and both of them paced into the hall hand in hand.


    At that moment, Arthur held Sophia’s hand and led her up to the altar as they were about toplete


    the wedding ceremony in front of over 300 guests.


    Just as the pastor was about to read their wedding vows, the doors suddenly flung open, and someone


    eximed, “They cannot get married!”


    It was Emily. “I’m the bride!” she screamed hysterically.


    Upon hearing that, the guests turned to look at her, and they were puzzled when they saw two brides at


    the wedding. Emily walked on the red carpet by herself and nonchntly removed her veil, which


    revealed her face. The family members instantly recognized that she was supposed to be the bride,


    which made them ponder the identity of the other bride standing on the altar holding Arthur’s hand.


    The scene shocked Martha, and she immediately stood up and looked at Emily wide-eyed. She then


    turned her gaze at the slim figure holding hands with her grandson. No! This can’t be! Did he switch the


    bride out?!


    Could it be Sophia? Martha thought to herself.


    “Emily, what’s wrong?” Johnny stood up from his seat and walked toward her with a look of disbelief on


    his face.


    “Dad, a woman stole my identity and made herself Arthur’s bride.” Tears welled up in her eyes. She


    looked at Martha and pleaded, “Grandma, you’ll have to help me. The woman on the altar isn’t your


    granddaughter-inw. I should be the one. She had seduced Arthur.”


    Sitting in the third row, Elliot and Richard looked at each other as they tried to make sense of the


    situation.


    Anastasia, however, was able to recognize thedy standing on the altar, and she eximed, “It’s


    Sophia! The bride standing on the altar is Sophia!”


    “Has Arthur recovered his memory?” Richard asked in disbelief.


    “That’s impossible.” Elliot shook his head.


    The guests started discussing what had just happened. They were confused by the two brides that


    turned up at the same time and were wondering who was the actual bride.


    “Emily, don’t cry. Let’s go to the side to discuss this, alright?” Martha tried tofort her. After that, she


    turned to the wedding host and said, “Please calm the guests down for now. The wedding ceremony


    will resume shortly.” She wanted to resolve the matter of who was going to marry his grandson.


    “Grandma, if you can make the woman leave, I’ll be willing to marry Arthur.” Of course, Emily didn’t


    refuse to marry him after all that had happened.


    After Richard heard what Emily said, he knew it was time to stand up for his friend and protect his


    happiness. He patted Elliot’s shoulder before standing up and walking toward the altar. He had a strong


    presence as he stood tall, and he was dressed in an all-ck suit. He walked directly toward the host,


    wanting to borrow the microphone. Seeing that, the host didn’t dare to refuse and passed him the


    microphone.


    “My name is Richard Lloyd. I shall reveal a conspiracy that had happened within the Weiss Family,” he


    announced in a serious tone.


    As Martha wasforting Emily, she heard Richard’s announcement and looked at him surprisedly. It


    turned out that he had set everything up in the hall, and as he took his phone out, he tapped on it for a


    few seconds. The next moment, the recording of Emily and Vera’s conversation was being yed


    within the hall.


    “Mom, it seems like he hasn’tpletely forgotten about her. He still has feelings for her.”


    “What? That’s impossible. I thought that he had already forgotten about that woman?”


    It was followed by the conversation between Vera and Johnny. “Johnny, today Emily told me that the


    girl Arthur met overseas is here, and both of them seemed close. You have to think of a way to


    completely wipe off all the memories rting to her from his head.”


    “How could that happen? I have been observing his condition, and he is experiencing some


    neurological disorders, so it’s impossible for him to feel strongly for anyone. He would be emotionless


    like a robot.”


    “What if Emily got the same cold treatment after she married him? Does it mean that she won’t have a


    happy marriage?”


    “Rest assured! I’m currently writing a code about happy memories that he had with Emily. I will input it


    into his head once it’spleted. By that time, he would fall in love with her.”


    “Really? Are you confident about it?”


    “I’m almost there. The important thing is for both of them to get married. She just has to wait a little


    more, and I will make sure that she will have a happy marriage for the rest of her life.”


    Everyone present was listening to the conversation intently while having the trantion headset on.


    Those who didn’t understand English could easily understand what was being said.


    Johnny and Vera stared at each other as they panicked after hearing the recording of their


    conversation. They never expected their conversation to be recorded secretly. At that instant, Emily’s


    face was as pale as a sheet now that everyone had found out about her parents’ n. On top of that,


    she realized that her high-pitched voice was really unpleasant to the ear.


    “Johnny, what have you done to me?” Arthur’s face contorted with anger as he shot a re at Johnny.


    “Johnny! You’re the one who made my grandson lose his memories! What exactly had your family done


    to him?” Martha scowled.


    Vera was so terrified that she took a step back. “We…”


    “So all of you tried to control my grandson to go after our family’s assets? Is that right?” Martha scoffed.


    “I never thought that you’ll be that ungrateful. You should know that we have invested a lot in your


    research, and now that your research is fruitful, you used it against my grandson?”


    “Martha, we are very sorry about that.” Johnny was embarrassed. Initially, he was serious about his


    research and didn’t n to use it for his own good. It hade to this because of Vera’s insistence and


    also because he had wavered.


    “Get out of my sight! I want your family to leave now! From now onward, I will shut down all of your


    labs.” Marthamanded before ring at Johnny. “If something happens to my grandson because of


    the drug you administered, I will make sure your whole family pays for it!”


    Just then, one of Johnny’s partners stood up in rage and chided, “Johnny, how dare you administer the


    experimental drug on Young Master Weiss? It was only supposed to be tried on animals before we


    could use it on humans! How could you do that?”


    What Johnny did was inhumane, making Martha so furious that she was shaking. She couldn’t believe


    that Johnny would do that to her precious grandchild.


    Sophia, who was standing on the altar, clenched her fist in anger when she found out why Arthur had a


    sudden memory loss. She removed her veil and looked at him worriedly. “Do you feel any difort?”


    He felt fine without any difort, but he had been feeling downtely. It was as if living had be


    meaningless, and his whole world was gray, which didn’t feel good at all.


    “I’m fine.” He shook his head and pulled her into his arms beforeforting her. “I’m sorry to have


    made you go through so much.”


    “Jackson, is there a cure to it?” Martha looked over at another researcher and asked.


    “I’m sorry, Old Madam. There’s no cure to it as of now.”


    “What?” Martha was so furious that she almost passed out. Seeing that, Arthur immediately rushed


    over and held Martha’s arm. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’m fine.”


    “The drug is used for controlling parts of the brain where the memories are stored and wouldn’t cause


    harm to one’s body. It will only affect his memory, but we aren’t sure whether there are any side effects


    to the drug,” Jackson exined.


    Trying to make up for what he had done, Johnny sighed and responded, “After observing Young Master


    Weiss’ mood swings, I assumed that the side effects would be an impediment to one’s emotions. The


    person would be indifferent and quiet. Besides, fluctuations in emotions were minimized. The best


    way to recover is for him to find his lost memories, which would stimte self-healing of the brain


    nerves and encourage fluctuations in emotions. That would probably be effective.”


    Meanwhile, Emily, who was dolled up beautifully and dressed in a beautiful wedding gown, couldn’t


    hide her jealousy. She slumped to the ground as she was on the brink of falling apart when she noticed


    that everyone was staring at her.


    “Johnny, you dared to use my grandson as your research subject just for your daughter’s happiness?


    You should be ashamed of yourself! From now on, I want all of you to leave this ce and this country!


    I will never forgive any of you.” Martha waved her hand and instructed, “Bodyguards, take them away.”


    The bodyguards were already in position, and they dragged the family of three out after receiving the


    instruction. Soon after, Richard walked toward Arthur and patted his shoulder. Arthur turned around and


    gave him a big hug. The unexpected hug shocked Richard, and he froze on the spot.


    “Richard, I’m sorry for being rude to you before this,” Arthur apologized.


    “That’s what friends are for. You don’t have to apologize to me.” Richard patted his back.


    “Thank you for looking into this. I would have let the woman that I love slip away if not for your help.”


    Arthur let go of him and heaved a sigh of relief.


    “I think that you’re back to normal now. Miss Goodwin must have been your cure.” Richardughed.


    Martha had noticed a positive change since Arthur was smiling more than before. She looked at Sophia


    with gratitude as she was the one who had helped him to recover.


    “Mr. Lloyd, I cannot thank you enough.” She was thankful for Richard’s help.


    “Well, I couldn’t have done it by myself. Elliot and his wife helped out too,” Richard responded humbly,


    making Elliot think that he was being too humble since Richard was the mastermind behind it.


    Meanwhile, Elliot merely helped to analyze the situation.


    “Are we going to resume the wedding ceremony? Why don’t we hold another wedding tomorrow after


    doing some preparations?” Martha sighed since it was noon and the guests had been waiting for half a


    day. She’d rather have them stay back a few more days and have another wedding tomorrow.


    “Sure, you can call the shots.” Arthur didn’t mind as long as Sophia was his bride.


    Soon after, Martha apologized to the guests and announced that there would be another wedding


    tomorrow, hoping that they would stay back for one more day. The guests responded positively to her


    request as they were happy to attend the wedding the next day.


    Hearing that, Anastasia was delighted for Sophia as she had finally found her happiness.


    Sophia then walked down from the altar and stood next to Arthur. Martha suddenly pulled her into her


    arms and begged for forgiveness. “Child, I was wrong previously. Would you forgive me?”


    “Grandma, I’ve never med you before.” Sophia’s eyes welled up with tears.


    Tears of happiness rolled down Martha’s cheeks. She finally realized how she had turned a blind eye


    toward Sophia’s kind nature when it should’ve been the main criteria that her granddaughter-inw


    needed to possess.


    “Tomorrow, I will throw a grand wedding for you and Arthur. Once we are back, we will have another


    wedding.” Martha gushed.


    “Thank you, Grandma.”


    When it was lunch time, the guests were ushered to the banquet hall to have their lunch. As Anastasia


    walked over, Sophia went up to her and gave her a big hug. “Anastasia, thank you for being by my side


    the entire time and for bringing me here. All of these wouldn’t have happened if not for you.”


    “This is the least I can do for you. I just want you to be happy.” Anastasia patted her back and smiled.


    She was happy that she was able to help out.


    “I’m really happy.” Sophia pursed her lips as tears of joy rolled down the cheeks.


    Meanwhile, Arthur went to the side and hugged two of his best friends. Their rtionship was as strong


    as ever, and they’d always have each other’s backs.


    At the same time, the police had already arrived at Johnny’s house and he was apprehended since he


    was being faced with legal charges. Likewise, Vera and Emily were brought to the police station to give


    their statements.


    As Vera sat in the police car, tears of regret rolled down her cheeks. Her greed had brought the demise


    of her whole family, and the husband that she was proud of had to pay the price. Their future was


    bleak; it was highly probable that Johnny, who they hugely depended on, would be imprisoned for life.


    She couldn’t imagine how life would be after being chased out of the country since they had been


    under the Weiss Family’s care and protection all along.


    Meanwhile, Emily cried so much that she almost passed out as she had lost everything in just a day.


    Her ostentatiousness and stupidity seemed to have entuated Sophia’s kindness and beauty in front


    of Martha.


    Of course, Emily had never thought that Sophia was someone kind since it was her presence which


    ruined everything. She had a strong urge to kill Sophia.


    Besides, Richard didn’t have the right to release the recording that was obtained secretly as it was


    uwful.


    Meanwhile, Martha, who was resting in the manor, was feeling lethargic after a long day. She had to


    take two antihypertensive pills to reduce her blood pressure.


    “That family really got on my nerves. How dare they do such a thing to my grandson!” The thought of it


    really made her blood boil. She was regretful that she hadn’t noticed Arthur’s abnormal behavior earlier


    on.


    At this moment, Jackson, who was Johnny’s partner, walked in and sat before Martha. He was ready to


    answer any questions that she had.


    “Jackson, based on your opinion, are you sure that Arthur won’t experience any side effects after taking


    the drug?”


    “I just met Young Master Weiss, and I noticed that he has recovered by leaps in terms of his emotional


    response. It seems like the drug would wear out after a certain period. I’d suggest stimting his


    emotional needs so that he’s able to heal by himself.”


    “How do we achieve that?”


    “I’d suggest Young Master Weiss go on a trip with his wife. I’m sure that he would fully reveal his


    feelings in front of the woman that he loves.”


    Hearing that, Martha sighed as she realized that Sophia was an angel sent by the heavens to save her


    grandchild. If not, he would have fallen into the Jennings Family’s hands.


    “Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements. I’ll write a referral letter and refer you to some other


    biological research institute and take care of your job arrangements.”


    “Thank you, Old Madam.”


    After seeing Jackson off, she touched her forehead and sighed. She then looked at the butler and said,


    “Prepare a feast for tonight as I’d like to invite Mr. Lloyd as well as Mr. and Mrs. Presgrave over to


    dinner as a token of appreciation.”


    That evening, all of them received Martha’s dinner invitation.


    In one of the living rooms within the manor, Sophia was rubbing her feet after wearing high heels for


    the whole day. Since she wasn’t used to wearing it, the friction between her feet and heels caused by


    too much walking had created a red patch even though the heels were of her size.


    “What’s wrong?” Arthur asked.


    She immediately stood up and shook her head shyly. “Nothing.” She was scared that he would want to


    examine her feet if she said that they were hurt. However, the observant Arthur could tell that she was


    lying.


    He walked toward her and kneeled to cheek her foot. “Did you hurt your feet? Let me have a look.”


    “Stop… Stop looking.” She retracted them.


    When he noticed how red her feet were from wearing the heels, he looked up and said, “Let me know


    next time when your foot hurts. Don’t keep it to yourself.” After that, he got one of the servants to get


    him some ointment before he personally applied it on her foot.


    The cooling menthol helped to relieve the pain, and he applied the ointment so gently that it felt nice.


    “Alright, this will do,” she told him.


    “Let’s go to my room. There’s something I need to discuss with you.” He stood up and led her there.


    As she stood in his room with an industrial interior, she felt calm as she looked out at the nice view. She


    felt contentment and happiness as she no longer had to worry about having to leave him.


    Sophia thought of informing her parents that she was getting married tomorrow, but she was worried


    that her parents would get the wrong idea. In the end, she put the idea off as the journey between both


    countries was far. She would proceed with the wedding and seek forgiveness from her parentster on.


    As she was in a daze, Arthur suddenly pulled her into his arms and brushed his nose gently against her


    neck, making her blush. Even though he had lost his memories, his actions seemed to be his old self


    like a puppy that constantly stuck around her.


    “My wife smells nice.” He praised her after taking a sniff.


    Sophia was certain that besides the memory loss that he experienced, his old self was back. She then


    turned around, looked up at his attractive face, and tiptoed before leaning in to peck on his cheek.


    “Thank you for choosing me.” She looked at him with affection. He had saved her from the agonizing


    heartache that she would go through if he married Emily in the end. She wouldn’t know what would


    happen if she had lost him as she saw him as someone very important to her, so much so that he was


    more important than her own life.


    Hearing that, he realized that he held an important ce in her heart and that he was a very important


    person in her life. If he really did marry Emily under the influence of the drug, he couldn’t imagine what


    would happen to Sophia. Even if he regained consciousness in the end, the whole incident would have


    broken the woman’s heart. He would make sure that the Jennings family paid for hurting the woman he


    loved.


    Arthur then pulled her into his arms and rested his cheeks on her forehead. “Although you have been


    wiped off from my memories, my heart and body haven’t forgotten you. All of my senses tell me I like


    you and that you’re the only one I want.”


    Hearing that, tears rolled out her cheeks and she was relieved that she had taken the trip. If not, they


    would have missed out on each other. She felt like the heavens were on their side.


    “I’m sorry.” He looked down and wiped her tears off with his hand before holding her face and going in


    for a kiss.


    Sophia, her face wet with tears, could feel his affectionate kiss. It had calmed her heart as she knew


    that her happiness was right in front of her and all she had to do was to grab on to it.


    Meanwhile, in the guest room, both Richard and Elliot were relieved that the truth had been revealed


    and that they were able to rescue Arthur from the dangers posed by the drug. If not for their keen


    perception, it would have gone unnoticed. It was evident when Martha, who had been living with Arthur


    for so long, didn’t find it odd even when he wasn’t as close to her anymore. On top of that, all of the


    staff within the manor didn’t think otherwise when Arthur started bing cold and distant.


    On the contrary, Richard and Elliot could tell that something wasn’t right from just a phone call. It was


    probably due to their strong bond that they could sniff something out whenever something happened to


    any one of them.


    “Please dress more formally at tonight’s banquet with Old Madam,” Elliot reminded him as Richard had


    changed into afortable camouge t-shirt after taking off the suit that he wore in the morning.


    “I’ll change into the suitter on. It’s so ufortable,” answered Richard whileining.


    After Elliot looked at the time, he got up and said, “I’ll go apany Anastasia now.” He left right after


    that.


    Richard then walked toward the window and looked outside with his head held high. The afternoon sun


    peeked through the clouds and shone on his attractive face. Since he had spent most of this time in the


    army, he had been trained to be an elite soldier who didn’t indulge himself in lust. He was born to lead


    on the battleground as it was his passion in life.


    Just then, his phone rang. “Hello?” he answered.


    “Captain, when are youing back? I have something to report to you.”


    “What is it?”


    “There’s some progress at 408. Pleasee back soon so that we can start the mission.”


    “Alright, please wait until I return. I need to stay over for one more day, and I’ll be back after that.”


    Richard sat up straight.


    After the call ended, a hunting intent shed across his eyes. The conversation was about an


    international organized crime group, and they were not an ordinary gang since they were involved with


    highly ssified weapons. They specialized in stealing, and they had stolen the research results and


    blueprints of a high-end weapon this time. They were looking for buyers everywhere, and Richard’s


    team had been tracking them for almost half a year.


    Meanwhile, Anastasia was having a video call with her son in the room. Jared had his face stuck so


    close to the screen that his chubby cheeks filled the screen. He looked so adorable that she wanted to


    give him a kiss.


    “Anastasia, I’ll take care of Jared for you while Elliot and you work on having baby number two.” Nigel’s


    voice could be heard in the background.


    It flustered Anastasia as it felt awkward to talk about having another baby in front of Jared.


    “Nigel, you should be the one working hard. Do you need me to introduce some girls to you?”


    Anastasia fought back.


    “Sure, but I’ll only consider those who are prettier than you.”


    “Most of them are prettier than me.” Anastasiaughed.


    Just then, their conversation was interrupted by Elliot. “What are both of you talking about?”


    She immediately tensed up, for this husband of hers got jealous easily and could not stand hearing


    such words.


    “Nothing. We are just chatting.” Nigelughed as he tried to change the topic.


    “Do you guys think I didn’t hear what the both of you were talking about?” Elliot murmured.


    “Daddy, Mr. Nigel is asking both of you to give me a sister and Mommy was asking him to quickly find


    himself a girlfriend,” answered Jared.


    “Great! Mommy and I are working hard on it!” Elliot seemed proud as he looked at his son from the


    screen.


    Hearing that, Anastasia instantly turned around and red at him, reminding him to be more reserved


    in front of their son since he was still young. She had never told Jared about how both males and


    females were involved in creating a baby as she thought that he was too young toprehend it.


    Elliot then smiled as he tried to exin to Jared, “I’m saying that it depends on your Mommy since she


    has a say in whether she wants to have another baby or not.”


    Anastasia stared at Elliot after listening to his exnation and hinted at him to switch the topic.


    “Jared, have you beenpleting your homework on time?” Elliot, who got the message, immediately


    changed the topic.


    “Daddy, don’t worry about my homework! I’ll make sure toplete them,” Jared responded


    confidently.


    Nigel, who was dressed in tennis apparel, appeared in front of the screen and said, “Let’s talk some


    other time as I need to send Jared to his tennis ss. I shall look forward to both of you buying me


    meals when you’re back since it’s not easy being a nanny.”


    “Thanks for your hard work, Nigel.” Anastasiaughed.


    “Let’s go, Jared!” Nigel called out as he smiled at the camera.


    “Goodbye, Daddy and Mommy.” Jared waved at the camera and ended the call. It seemed like he


    really enjoyed spending time with Nigel.


    After that, Anastasia left the iPad on the couch and said, “I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling


    constantly tired these days.”


    When Elliot heard that, he sat next to her and stretched his arm out so that she could lean on it. “Take a


    nap. I must have kept you awakest night.”


    “You’re not shy to admit to it.” She rolled her eyes at him.


    “What’s there to be embarrassed about since we are now legally married?!” Elliot smiled and gave her


    a kiss.


    She leaned on his chest shyly and dozed off soon after. When he noticed that Anastasia was falling


    asleep, he moved her to the bed. She instantly fell asleep in his arms while he checked his emails on


    his phone while holding his wife to sleep.


    In the evening, Martha was overseeing the dinner preparations. She initially wanted to check on Arthur,


    but she knew that he was probably with Sophia. As such, she decided not to disturb the lovebirds.


    After all that had happened, she finally realized how much Arthur loved Sophia and that true love could


    withstand the challenges faced by the disparity of wealth and family background. She really hoped that


    Arthur’s partner would be someone that truly loved him, not someone who only coveted his assets or


    tried to harm him because of it.


    Martha had learned her lesson from the Jennings Family as she was now aware that some families


    who were under their protection were starting to revolt against them.


    “Old Madam, this is Miss Goodwin’s…”


    “You should be calling her Young Mistress from now on.” Martha corrected the servant.


    “Yes, Young Mistress’ jewelry has been picked out. I will send it to her roomter on,” said the servant


    with a smile.


    “Great, we must select the best for her.”


    “All of them are of the finest.”


    Martha was satisfied with the selection of jewelry and nodded at the servant. Right now, the thing she


    looked forward to the most was for Sophia to be her granddaughter-inw.


    Meanwhile, at the Jennings Residence, Emily had returned home after giving her statement. When she


    saw how empty the house was, she couldn’t hold her tears in and wailed.
