作者: Little Shadow
The next day, Jason showed up at my studio with Charles in tow.

I was in the middle of a client meeting when my assistant burst in, flustered.

"Wendy, there's a Jason Hubert outside with a boy. He insists on seeing you…"

All eyes in the conference room turned toward me.

I smiled at the client, unshaken.

    Gina followed me in and handed me a cup of warm water. She looked at me with concern."Are you… okay?"I took the cup, sipped, and shook my head."I'm fine. Calmer than I expected."Yes—calm.I once thought that facing them again would break my heart, that a storm of emotions would rise all at once. But when the moment truly arrived, I realized my heart had long since become a dead sea, unruffled by any waves.They could no longer stir anything in me.I thought that was the end of it.I was wrong.A few days later, another uninvited guest arrived—my mother.She looked even more wretched than Jason. More than half her hair had turned white, deep wrinkles carved into her face, as if she had aged ten years overnight.Led in by Gina, she stepped into my office. The moment she saw me, tears spilled down her face.She moved to embrace me, but I sidestepped. Her outstretched hand froze awkwardly in midair. After a pause, she spoke, her voice trembling, "Wendy… my daughter… I was w

Jason had grown thinner, his eyes heavy with exhaustion and weariness, the confident spark of his youth gone.Charles had shot up in height, and he hid timidly behind Jason, his eyes red and glistening.The moment he saw me, Jason's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward, his voice trembling."Wendy… I… I finally found you."I stayed still, watching him coolly."Mr. Hubert, do you have business here? If not, please don't disturb my work.""Wendy, don't be like this…" His face twisted in pain. "I know I was wrong. I really do. Every day this past

But he must kneel in the city's largest plaza and apologize to me for three full days and nights.

Why didn't you tell me Wendy never lost her memory? Didn't you say you had everything under control?" Lindsay screamed hysterically."How could I have known she wasn't amnesiac?!" Jason snapped, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her. "What use is it to say that now?! My r

    Lindsay's pained groan instantly drew Jason's attention.He turned to me, his voice cold and sharp. "Are you satisfied now?"Then the whole family sprang into frantic motion, carrying Lindsay and rushing her to the hospital.Before leaving, my mother didn't forget to turn back and scream at me, "You bring disaster wherever you go!"I stood there until my legs went numb, then finally walked into the nanny's room.The exhaustion—both physical and emotional—crushed me. I collapsed onto the narrow single bed and fell into a heavy sleep.I had no idea how long it had been when I was jolted awake by rough hands yanking at me.Jason, his eyes bloodshot, dragged me off the bed."Wendy! How can you be so vicious!"Before I was fully awake, his furious shouting came crashing down on me."You knew Lindsay was already in the hospital!
