Zoe’s expression shifted to one of astonishment.


    “Has she forgotten Caleb, Dn, and Elena entirely?”


    Carlos confirmed with a simple, “Yes.


    ”


    Debra’s POV:


    Under the shocked gazes of the two women, Carlos faced me and made introductions.


    “Debra, this is Zoe Smith who embraced you.


    She serves as a police officer and she’s quite thebatant.


    ”


    He then gestured towards hispanion, a gentle look in his eyes.


    “and this is Sally, my wife.


    They both hail from Roz Town, and consider you among their closest friends.


    ”


    I could only manage a perplexed nod in response.


    Carlos continued, “There are others in our circle as well, dealing with their own matters or living too


    far to visit this evening.


    I’ll make sure you meet them another time.


    ”


    I acknowledged this with a simple, “I understand.


    ”


    Despite the strangeness of it all, their warmth seemed genuine, a distant echo of a once-familiar bond.


    So, aiming to reconnect, I extended a greeting to Zoe and Sally.


    “It’s a pleasure to meet you both.


    ”


    Sally’s eyes, brimming with tears, reflected a storm of emotion.


    Her voice trembled.


    “Debra, you must have suffered a lot, which is why you have lost your memories.


    We share the me for not finding you sooner.


    ”


    Her evident distress made me uneasy, feeling exposed under a harsh spotlight.


    Mustering a reassuring smile, I replied, “Truly, I’m alright.


    No need to shoulder any guilt on my ount.


    ”


    Yet, as Zoe absorbed my reassurances, her eyes too began to glisten.


    “I can see that you are pretending to be strong.


    You always like hiding the bad while only mentioning the good.


    You were taken to a strange world alone and lost your memories.


    How could you have lived a good life?”


    Caught in a moment of uncertainty, my response was a small, awkward smile.


    Sensing the tension, Carlos quickly intervened.


    “Let’s not overwhelm her,” he advised Zoe and Sally with a calming gesture.


    ““Debra’s memory isn’t what it was.


    She’s rediscovering her world.


    No need to rush her.


    With her return, the time for reflection wille.


    Patience will serve us all better as she finds her way again.


    ”


    Following his lead, Zoe’s and Sally’s expressions softened.


    “Our apologies; we let our emotions get the better of us.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    ”


    I remained silent, offering a simple nod.


    Carlos then turned to Zoe and Sally.


    “Please, take a seat.


    The doctor is still tending to Caleb’s injuries.


    ”


    Their conversation steered my thoughts to the daughter I had yet to meet.


    Seizing a calm moment, I inquired, “Where might Elena be this evening?”


    Carlos responded, “The night has fallen by the time we arrived, and I haven’t informed Elena of your return.


    She’s likely in her room, asleep.


    You’ll have the chance to see her when morninges.
