“Honey, could you please find out who hurt Fiona?” Millie asked, closing the magazine.


    At this, Marcus’ expression underwent an instant transformation.


    But Millie didn’t notice Marcus’ reaction and continued, “I believe that person is very cautious. He has

    “Because everything feels so chaotic. I’m starting to think that I’ve lost some of my memories, and it’s


    as though there’s someone out there who Looks just like me. I get the sense that if I want to make


    sense of it all, I need to find the person connected to Fiona who might have the answers.”


    Millie turned and was startled to find Marcus’ face had turned an ugly shade of green, veins bulging at


    the back of his hand.


    She was taken aback.


    “Honey, is everything okay?”


    Marcus’ voice was frigid as he said, “If it turns out that you have lost your memory, and Leon is the one
