Damien was stunned.
After a moment, a sudden realization struck him, prompting him to flip open the memory album hastily.
Every page recorded his past with Cherise, and each photo portrayed their most precious memories together.
A wave of emotion swelled within him. At the same time, numerous images flashed through his mind.
He commissioned this memory album to be custom-made because he missed Cherise tremendously.
Wanting to preserve it forever, he had it specially crafted from metal. He even inscribed a message at the back, saying he would await her return.
A wave of excitement washed over him as he quickly turned to the album's final page. He saw a line of words he penned himself. 'I will wait for you to come back to me.'
Emotions surged in his heart, threatening to overwhelm him.
He thought he had lost this album in the fire three years ago and had resigned himself to the belief that it had been melted down for gold.
Yet, against all odds, this memory album was in Cherise's possession.
Isaac's words at Lermille Airport echoed in his mind. "Dr. Shaw really did injure her hand. It was a burn..."
Damien's hands trembled involuntarily as he held the album.
During the fire three years ago, he vaguely sensed that Cherise was beside him. He remembered smelling her familiar scent and hearing her voice. Yet, he was all alone when he regained consciousness.
Initially, he was convinced that he had met Cherise in the fire.
However, Lennon and Jacob explained that people could experience hallucinations when on the brink of death. Over time, he dismissed his encounter with Cherise as mere hallucinations.
Moreover, Rowena's appearance further dispelled any doubt that Cherise had been in the fire.
But now, recalling Isaac's words, Damien stared at the album in his hands. His heart was in turmoil.
Could it be...
The person who saved me three years ago was...
Isn't Mr. Lenoir supposed to deliver jackets to his children? Why...
