Chapter 1253
“Mom, where are you going?” Cade asked as Anna strode toward a specific direction in a daze before
he chased after her. Following closely behind him was Callum, who realized something was wrong.
“Mom, did you remember something?” Callum asked.
The truth was, she used to live here, but then forgot all about it for some reason.
Anna didn’t say a word. She didn’t know what had gotten into her.
She just had a strong feeling that this street was awfully familiar. She must have been here before.
Now that she was standing there, she felt like she recognized the surroundings.
At that moment, she was terrified of making a sound. She thought it would drive away the familiar
feeling in her mind, so she kept her mouth shut and kept walking.
There was a small area that was covered by a thinyer of snow. Before she came here, Anna already
checked and discovered that this was a train station that was demolished about a decade ago. The
neighborhood wasn’t popr, and many people had moved away. The property value was incredibly
low, so this area was never developed. As such, the houses were old and still maintained the same
appearance it had about twenty to thirty years ago.
Then, Anna and her two sons, along with a few of her trusted subordinates, left the train station
together. Not knowing where she was going, Anna could only follow her senses.
“This way is leading us toward the town.” Callum checked the navigations.
Shuddering, Anna realized he was right. There was a town just further down!
She remembered!
There was a voice speaking to her in her head, but Anna just couldn’t put her finger on who that person
was.
Without using the GPS, Anna followed her senses and led everyone through a few paths. The
surrounding houses were all abandoned and crumbling. Some of the houses had even copsed a long
time ago. There were several roads that looked like it had not been used for years, but she could still
urately navigate through it.
At that point, her heart was beating out of her chest, as if she was about to discover some big secret.
From the train station, it would have only taken ten minutes to reach the town if they had taken the new
road using the GPS. However, Anna took the route that no one had taken in many years and reached
the town after thirty minutes of walking.
When they arrived, they noticed the town was bustling. There were even factories nearby. It was New
Year’s Day, so there were many people and open shops on the streets. Although it wasn’t as busy as
the city center, there were a couple of towering office buildings while the rest were storied houses.
In the distance, there was an upscale vi area. Nearby, there was a train station and a newly built
subway station.
Stepping on the thinyer of snow, Anna walked aimlessly while not knowing where she was going.
“Mom—” Cade called out again before Callum immediately stopped him.
Perhaps, she could really remember something if she just walked around.
Then, they followed her without making a sound or interrupting her.
Not long after, Anna arrived outside a school—Frostford Town Central School.
On New Year’s, there was nobody in school, and only a few sparrows were hopping on the snow-
covered field. The iron gate was locked, so Anna just stood outside the gate as she stared nkly at
the school.
Clearly, the school had been renovated recently. Despite that, Anna stared as she thought it didn’t look
the way she remembered. It should have looked a little more run down…
“Callum, look. Isn’t that Taylor Murray?” Cade suddenly pointed at arge photo on the school gate.
Everyone looked toward it in unison and saw the photo. In the picture, Michael was seen wearing a red
scarf and standing together with a bunch of children for the group photo. The background of the photo
was this particr school gate. Then, Callum pulled out his phone and searched the inte before he
found out that Michael indeed had a connection to this town.
“This school was originally the only school in town. A few years ago, Taylor Murray came to fund the
renovations. He also built many factories nearby and drove up the economy here. The vis over there
were developed by him under the name of ‘Asco International Real Estate’. It was also stated that
Taylor Murray’s wife was born in Johnson Family Vige which was right next to this town, and she
used to go to school here.”
……
Nodding, Cade looked toward Anna in concern as he wondered why she came here.
While she stared vacantly at the photo of Michael, she heard the sound of a caring from behind
and was startled. When she turned around, there was an old green bus parked at the bus stop right
across the street.
“Wait!” Before Anna knew it, she unconsciously ran toward the bus in a panic. When she realized what
she was doing, she had already gotten onto the bus.
Then, the rest of them rushed onto the bus as well. After paying for the tickets, the bus departed.
At that point, Anna did not know where she was headed to, but when she saw the bus, she
subconsciously wanted to take it. It was as if there was an imperceptible voice telling her that this was
the bus that would take her home.
On the bus, she sat by the window. Looking at the scenery, she watched as the bus left town and drove
into the farnds area. But now, thend was covered in snow. asionally, she would see a few
hills surrounded by viges and houses. Although it was a distant suburb of Bayside City, it was still
densely popted. The younger generations who worked in the city had returned to spend the New
Year’s back home.
In Bayside City, it was a tradition to visit the ancestral graves on New Year’s. As such, they could hear
firecrackers near the graveyards.
Then, Anna got off at the next station even though she didn’t know why.
She nced at the name of the station, which read ‘Johnson Family Vige’.
Naturally, this was where Sophia grew up.
When she got off the bus, she walked toward a particr direction with clear intent. In fact, she didn’t
even have to think, as long as her legs knew where they were going.
At once, her breathing became rapid and heavy. As her heart started to beat faster, her steps sped up
as well. Soon, they hiked up a little hill. In the valley, there was a family staying there, but the doors
were shut. As such, they could only peek in from outside the yard.
At that moment, Anna stood firmly outside the house. In her eyes, the image of the house gradually
became clearer before it blurred again like a reflection on water. With the ripples, the image broke into
pieces before attaching themselves back again. Finally, it becamepletely clear.

When she saw the house, Anna became calm instead as she stared in a daze. To her, everything in the
yard had a breathtaking familiarity.
It was as if she had stood here before, and even lived here many years ago.
It seemed like she had touched that tree, that house, that fence, and even that wall with her own hands
before.
She must have lived here in the past, but, why couldn’t she remember it at all?
It was because Jordan had wiped out all of her memories!
What exactly was hidden in that memory?
As her mind raced, Anna suddenly had a headache. Her body swayed before she unconsciously
supported herself by cing her hand on Callum.
“Mom, are you okay?” Callum was shocked and hurriedly helped her down the hill. The bus had
stopped at the bottom of the hill along with many other cars. It was probably because many people had
driven here to spend the New Year’s and there wasn’t enough parking space for them.
To their surprise, as soon as they came down and before they could get on the bus, an unbelievably
enthusiastic husky burst out of the snow and pounced on Anna to give her a kiss when it saw her.
“Cash Edwards,e back here right now!”
Suddenly, Sophia appeared out of nowhere and chased after the dog.
Sophia’s family was there too. They were getting out of the car with incense, candles, paper money
and other things that they needed for their visit to their ancestor’s graves.
Just then, the two groups of people unexpectedly met…
