    A child who had never met Deborah before said something that made Ashton so nervous that he


    immediately rushed over to intervene as soon as he got off the ne.


    Ashton didn’t look at her, just focusing on driving ahead. “Who knows what kids will say? Why do you


    care so much about this? If you’re interested in Alyssa, just go talk to her when you have time. That kid


    is quite sensible.”


    Deborah always felt that there was something wrong here, but she couldn’t quite figure it out no matter


    how hard she thought about it.


    She candidly asked, “Did I forget something important?”,


    Why did she feel restless ever since she saw Alyssa on the ne?


    After taking Steven and Alyssa to Jingron Design, Mona was overjoyed to see Alyssa. She couldn’t


    help but constantly shower Alyssa withpliments.


    Upon hearing that, Deborah couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride welling up within her.


    On second thought, there’s no reason for her to be so proud when others praise Alyssa.


    No matter how outstanding Alyssa is, it still has nothing to do with her.


    Later on, she saw Steven and Alyssa off as they left thepany, watching as Alyssa got into the car.


    She suddenly felt very ufortable, and almost couldn’t help herself, wanting to get in the car with


    them.


    Thinking about all that, Deborah’s head began to ache again, with sharp, stabbing painsing in


    waves.


    She couldn’t help it. She scratched the back of her other hand with her fingernails, and her body began


    to tremble uncontrobly, no matter how hard she tried to stop it.


    She felt very ufortable and really wanted to see Joseph.


    But now is not the time, as Joseph is probably still in a meeting.


    After much difficulty, he finally returned to the ck Group. It was his first day back at work, so it was


    best not to make any mistakes.


    Deborah held back, but the pressure on her fingertips grew stronger and stronger.


    The sharp, piercing pain on the back of her hand had somewhat numbed her, to the point where she


    could barely feel


    1.


    Ashton looked at her, who was just chattering non-stop with questions, but now she suddenly fell


    silent.


    He felt a bit strange and nced sideways, only to see that Deborah’s hand had been scratched and


    was bleeding.


    He immediately reached out, grabbing one of her hands, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”


    It seemed as if Deborah suddenly snapped back to reality, quickly withdrawing her hand as if she had


    been electrocuted when he grabbed it.


    “Who allowed you to touch me? I can handle myself, it’s none of your business!”


    Her face was pale, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She looked at Ashton with a guarded


    expression, as if she had raised her defenses, treating him like a thief.


    Ashton awkwardly withdrew his hand, “I just noticed that your hand was bleeding. If you’re really


    ufortable, give Joseph a call and ask him toe over.”

    Deborah immediately objected, “No, he’s in a meeting.”

    Ashton said in a deep voice, “You’re like this now, we can always have the meeting another day…”


    Deborah firmly interrupted him, “No. Just stop the car and let me out. I can take a tad to the hospital. I


    don’t need you


    to take me there.”


    Ashton, feeling helpless, said, “Fine, no fighting. I’ll take you to the hospital first.”


    Deborah didn’t say another word, her head hanging low, concealing the difort on her face.


    Ashton continued driving and spoke up again, “If you’re really concerned about your previous


    memories, you can discuss it with Joseph and see a psychologist to help you try to recover them.”


    Anyway, Alyssa is still alive now, and Deborah has regained her memory, so there aren’t many things


    that are hard to ept.


    The only thing that’s hard to ept is Lydia ending her own lite.


    In other words, recalling those past memories made her resent Ashton even more.


    But it’s not a solution for her to remain like this, as every time shees into contact with people and


    things rted to her past, she always feels pain.


    Deborah didn’t pay him any more attention. After arriving at the hospital, she insisted on getting out of


    the car herself.


    Upon entering the inpatient building, they leaned against the wall and made their way into the elevator


    on their own, heading upstairs.


    After Ashtonpleted the paperwork for her, she settled into the hospital room, and soon after, her


    headache returned.


    The doctor knows Deborah, but not Ashton.


    After giving Deborah a thorough examination, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.


    The doctor called Ashton aside and asked him, “I remember that previously, it was Mr. ck who


    brought Ms. Shepherd here. Who might you be?”


    Ashton responded, “I’m a friend of hers. Joseph is still in Richmond, but he’ll being overter.”


    The doctor spoke solemnly. “That’s right, Ms. Shepherd’s current situation may be due to her exposure


    to some familiar objects, and there are already signs of her regaining her memory.


    Instead of letting the memories recover slowly and enduring the pain at any time, perhaps it would be

    more appropriate to directly undergo psychotherapy to restore the memories.”


    Ashton nodded, “Alright, I’ll let Deborah know.”


    The doctor closed the medical record in his hand and said, “Well, please consult as soon as possible


    so that the hospital can make arrangements promptly.”


    After the doctor finished speaking, he left.


    As Ashton was about to return to the ward, he inadvertently noticed a man not far down the hallway,


    sneakily using his phone to point in this direction.


    As Ashton nced over, the man iminediately put away his phone and hurriedly turned around to


    leave.


    Ashton bistinctively wanted to chase after them, but remembering that Deborah was still alone in the


    hospital room, he ultimately decided to krit go


    He turned around and headed back to Deborah’s hospital room first.


    After the man lett, be minediately sent the photo he had taken on his phone to Joseph’s phone,


    anonymously.


    Aseph had just finishest a meeting, and it was time to get off work.


    A group of directors and executives surrounded him, smiling as they said that Joseph had returned


    after so many years, and they should go out for a drink to celebrate together,


    Joseph politely responded, thinking about giving Deborah a call to ask about her situation, and then


    considering whether or not to socialize with the director in the evening.


    Taking the phone from the assistant, he unlocked the screen, intending to make a call, when he noticed


    an unread


    ail


    Upon opening it casually, several photos were strikingly disyed inside.


    One photo was taken on an airne, with Deborah standing next to Ashton’s seat, talking to him about


    something.


    The camera was facing away from Deborah, so all that could be seen was Ashton’s face, wearing a


    smile and looking quite delighted


    In the other photos, Ashton is seen carrying Deborah into the car, andter, Ashton apanies


    Deborah as they


    oth get out of the car.


    The background was blurred, making it impossible to tell where the photo was taken, but it captured a


    sense of
