Chapter 993


    Chapter 993 Meeting Lamia


    After leaving the hospital, Hendrey found a ce to drink alone as memories of the past shed before


    his eyes. In his heart, Veronica was still the most important person to him, but fate had yed a cruel


    trick on him by making her forget him repeatedly.


    Despite his frustration, he knew he couldn''t change anything. He wasn''t Crayson nor a member of the


    hidden n, and Hendrey didn''t possess the secret techniques to unseal her memories. After she


    disappeared, he tried his best to find her but to no avail. It wasn''t until she reappeared with amnesia


    that he saw her again, only to have her not recognize him. This happened not just once but twice, and


    as time passed, his once passionate heart grew colder and colder.


    As he sat there drinking, his phone began to ring. He took a sip of his drink and answered the call.


    "Have you found Veronica?" It was Zac on the other end of the line.


    "She has amnesia," Hendrey replied nonchntly, but the words struck him like a sharp knife, piercing


    his chest and making him gasp. Then, he put down his drink, clenched his fist, and pounded his chest


    to relieve his heartache.


    "Really? Crayson is so ruthless," Zac said, sounding frustrated. He knew Veronica''s amnesia was of no


    benefit and only caused problems.


    "Hendrey, you—"


    Hendrey didn''t want to listen to Zac anymore and hung up the phone. When Zac tried to call back,


    Hendrey did not pick up. Finally, Hendrey turned off his phone in annoyance and continued to drink by


    the window.


    "Sir. A-Are you okay?" Suddenly, a woman dressed in a green dress appeared before him, looking at


    him with concern.


    He looked up at her and frowned. "Have we met before?" Although he had had a few drinks, he wasn''t


    drunk.


    The woman furrowed her brow and tilted her head, trying to remember. "Y-You are... I can''t remember


    your name right now." She was annoyed with herself and tapped her head in frustration.


    "Hendrey Johnson."


    "Oh, yes, Hendrey Johnson. Mr. Johnson, I''ve been looking for you for a long time. I didn''t expect to


    see you again." She was overjoyed and almost danced with happiness.


    On the other hand, Hendrey knew her name was Lamia Elrod. When he was kidnapped and taken to


    Castron, he met his current mysterious boss, Buckner. When Buckner brought him to Castron, he met


    Lamia for the first time.

    "You do have a terrible memory, Miss Lamia," he said with a smile, gesturing for her to sit across from


    him. "I was fishing by the river under the Deste Cliffs. You were boating and fell into the water. I


    saved you. Do you remember?" He reminded her of the past.


    At that time, he had lived in the hidden n with Buckner for a long time because Buckner had


    something to do and couldn''t leave. So, Hendrey learned the hidden tongue and discovered Crayson''s


    true identity. In his boredom, he went fishing by the river and happened to meet her.


    Nheless, he had also learned of Lamia''s other identity. She was Hayley''s niece, and she was


    highly regarded by Hayley Elrod.


    "N-No. I remember you but was so excited that I had forgotten your name." Lamia, who was slightly


    shy, rose quickly and bowed to him. "Forgive me, Mr. Johnson." Her features were attractive, and she


    had fair skin. She looked just like her mother, down to the striking eyebrows and charming dimples at


    the corners of her mouth.
