Chapter 426 [Bonus ] Interested In Her Memory?



Day Forty-Nine...

~~*****~~

"Chairman Xu, can I leave Ethan here?" Abigail politely asked Old Man Xu.

Old Man Xu let out a soft chuckle. "Of course. I would love that. Since it's the weekend, Ethan can stay here until tomorrow. I can send him to the Sparks Mansion."

Abigail held Ethan's shoulders as she bent over to look at Ethan. "Is it okay for you, Ethan? Can you stay here for a day?"

Ethan contemplated for a moment. He didn't want to get separated from Abigail because he became so attached to her. But looking into his grandfather's hopeful eyes, Ethan couldn't possibly disappoint his grandpa and make him sad.

"Okay. Miss Abi. Will I see you tomorrow?" Ethan put on a pitiful face.

Abigail bobbed her head, giving him a reassuring smile. "Yes. I'll see you tomorrow. For now, you can hug my teddy bear and put it beside you. She will be watching you."

Ethan hugged the white teddy bear. "Okay, Mom." Then the young boy turned to Old Man Xu. "Grandpa, don't send me to Sparks Mansion. Currently, I'm staying at Yan Residence."

"Yan Residence?" Old Man Xu asked in confusion.

Ethan bobbed his head frantically. "Yes, Grandpa. Mom, Dad, and I are all staying there."

Old Man Xu: "..."

No wonder he couldn't find them. It turned out they were staying with the Yan Family. But what were they doing there? Did Nathan ask favor from Madam Priyanshi Patel?

Abigail could only smile awkwardly. She forgot to tell Ethan that his father was hiding from his grandfather.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

"W-Why Yan Residence?" Old Man Xu shifted his gaze back and forth between Ethan and Abigail.

"Because it's Mom's house. She is part of the Yan Family. The missing granddaughter of Gramps!" Ethan was referring to Old Master Yan.

Twenty minutes later...

Abigail reached Dave's place. She alighted from her car with one goal in mind: to get as much as information she can. She took another deep breath before ringing the doorbell of Dave's condo unit.

When the door slid open, Dave was not the first person who greeted her view. It was Vincent!

'Damn!' Abigail cursed inwardly when she saw Vincent up close. His gray eyes were looking at her intently. His lips curled up into a friendly smile.

'Argh!' Abigail held her temples and stepped back. His closeness made her uncomfortable.

"Hi, Abi..." Vincent softly called her name.

"H-Hello..." Abigail responded awkwardly. She didn't know why but she could feel similarities between Vincent and Nathan. They both had the same overbearing and dominating aura.

"Dave is just preparing the table for our dinner. Come." Vincent stepped to the side, allowing her to enter the room.

Vincent guided her inside and Abigail silently followed him from behind. She was secretly observing and assessing Vincent. He was hard to read. But her gut feeling was telling her not to lower her guard against Vincent.

Abigail was already strategizing what she would do to get Vincent's DNA and how she would gather more information about him.

Soon, the three of them sat down around the table. "Let's eat."

"Wow. You cooked all my favorites." Vincent cheerfully said.

"Of course, you seldom visit here," Dave responded. Then he glanced at Abigail, smiling at her. He also prepared her favorite.

The three started eating. Vincent was the one who initiated the conversation. "Abi... I heard you lost your memory. Don't you remember anything? I know a good hospital in Country R. I can refer you there."

Vincent glanced at Dave meaningfully and added, "Dave can accompany you."

But Abigail politely rejected it. "I'm sorry but I can't go there for treatment. I think my memory will come back naturally. I don't have to force myself."

"How much have you remembered now?" Vincent asked her again.

Abigail frowned. She felt like he was the one interrogating her.

"Nothing..." she responded.

'This guy... Why is he interested in my memory?'
