Chapter 23


    Bradley had a vague answer, but he could not say it aloud in certainty.


    rk put on the sses hanging in front of his chest and took the photo from Bradley. He scrutinized it


    for some time before answering, “Mr. Bradley, she’s Madam. Your parents went on a business trip and


    were caught in an ident. It’s Madam who stayed nearby who saved you on the spot. Because you


    witnessed your parents’ death, you’ve selectively forgotten the memory.”


    Bradley jolted. He stared at the girl in the photo in disbelief. She had eyes exactly like Esther’s.


    “S-So…”


    rk nodded and said in certainty, “Sir, Madam’s your savior.”


    Bradley felt like his world was flipped upside down in an unnatural silence. He had never expected the


    woman he hated and resented to be his childhood savior.


    “W-Why… didn’t you all tell me?” asked Bradley.


    rk shook his head wryly and exined, “You didn’t even have that piece of memory. Telling you the


    truth would only add to your pain for nothing. You got to know Madam far earlier than you thought.


    Whatever happened, she saved your life. Please stop holding grudges against her. I also don’t believe


    that she’s the one behind Mr. Thomas’ passing.”


    rk’s every word prated Bradley’s mind like a needle. He felt a splitting headache as much as


    misery.


    He did not know it. He did not know that Esther was his savior.


    If he had known, would he not have treated her that way?


    If he had not been so impassive and ruthless to her, would the many tragedies after that not have


    happened?


    “rk, I don’t believe it.”


    Bradley denied the photo rk produced after he calmed down.


    He had no memory of it.


    Technology was so advanced now. He could produce hundreds and thousands of simr photos if he


    wanted to.


    Just one photo could not represent anything.


    rk then retrieved a thumb drive and yed its content on the study’s projector.


    It was a surveince recording. A Mercedes-Benz flipped several times in the air and dropped to the


    ground. Fuel leaked from the back of the car, and a hand stretched out from the inside of it.


    A girl ran over from a distance and bravely pulled a boy out of the vehicle. Just when the two of them


    tried stopping cars by the road to ask the driver for help, the car exploded.


    The boy who was closer to the car bore the brunt of the explosion and passed out from the force while.


    the girl used all her might to drag the boy to the side.


    At the same time, passing cars finally stopped.

    “Sir, this is the surveince recording clip Mr. Thomas got from the police. It was a long time and the


    resolution’s not very high, but you can still see that it’s you in the video,” rk said and paused for a


    moment before saying slowly, “I have nothing to say if you still want to deny it.”


    As if a masochist, Bradley watched the surveince clip again and again. He tried to spot traces of


    editing in the video and tried to tell himself that the brave little girl was not Esther.


    Despite that, it was in vain,


    “Sir, you probably now understand why Mr. Thomas’ will is written like that.” Bradley only tasted a bitter


    taste in his mouth.
