Megan looked nostalgic while reminiscing the past, as though she had lived it herself. Jake studied her half-lidded eyes with a faint smile, and the darkness that had shrouded his heart for many years seemed to finally fade away.
His nickname Gabe was the only thing he remembered about himself, but it was officially changed to Jake Wilson after being brought into the Wilson family.
But Jake still couldn't bring himself to trust the woman in front of him because her appearance was too much of a coincidence. Unfortunately, he had lost all his memories from the past.
It looked like he could only wait and see how things panned out.
Hence, he said, “Give me the photo. Although there's no need to go to Alendor anymore, I'll still be keeping an eye on you.”
Upon hearing that, Megan breathed a long sigh of relief. She felt as though she had stepped away from the edge of a cliff, but there was no telling when she would have to take a step forward again.
However, she did not have a choice at all. If she didn't stop Jake and let Mia successfully secure her position, her chances of winning in this life would be very slim. Thus, she had to force herself to take such risks.
Megan recollected her thoughts as she passed the photo to Jake. Huffing out a short laugh, she said calmly, “I still don't understand what you're talking about, but I'm glad I don't have to go to Alendor anymore.”
Jake raised his brows wordlessly, but other than that, his expression was as calm as a millpond.
With his heart in turmoil, he looked out the car window to watch the city view whizzing by. If she's really the one from my memories, can she really save me from the darkness that's threatening to pull me down?lf she can't, then her existence would be meaningless.
“Mr. Wilson, we've arrived.”
