Ophelia thought, ‘A fresh start?‘
“It means we can retell him everything. If there are things from the past we don’t want him to remember, he doesn’t have to.” Ronin’s voice was low, only audible to them.
Ophelia said, “Isn’t there a way to restore memories now?”
Ronin was surprised. “You know about that?”
“Don’t you come back to help Noah regain his memories?”
Ronin was surprised and thought, ‘Is there anything she doesn’t know?‘
“Yes, there is indeed a way to restore it, but…” He glanced at the innocent little kid and thought that it was just fine for Scott to be like this.
If the memories returned and some things better left unknown came to light, it might not just bring unnecessary worries but could also damage their relationship.
Ophelia took a deep breath and said, “I won’t try to hide what I’ve done, and he has the right to know.”
The day he remembered everything, she would be honest with him. Whether he forgave her or how he chose to handle their relationship was entirely up to him. All she wanted was peace of mind.
She planned to leave him the shares of Hastings companies she had auctioned before, along with the family’s old house.
“So, Dr. West, if possible, once Noah’s memory is fully recovered, I’d like and I’ll pay you.”
“There’s no need to be so formal about it. As long as you’re sure about it.”

on Scott too.
Just calculate the costs,
He had actually been researching this for years, not just for Noah but for other reasons too. It was after nearly three years of clinical trials that they achieved significant results.
Ronin gave some last instructions before they parted ways at the airport.
After watching Ophelia get in the car, Ronin let out a long sigh and dialed the guild’s internal line, not getting a chance to start his report.
A deep voice from the other side already responded, “I know.”
Ronin glanced around, not too curious about how Kenneth on the other side knew. The with cameras, so he was likely keeping a constant watch on the screen,

He couldn’t help but sigh again. “So, should I head back to Waston?”
“Yep.”

The phone on the other end was turned off, just as she expected

“Ophelia, where are we going?” Scott asked, gazing out the window. Even though it seemed familiar, his eyes showed a hint
of unease.
Ophelia thought for a moment. Right now, Scott needed someone to take care of him. His mind was like a child’s, so she couldn’t stray too far from him.
She thought, ‘So, let’s just stay at Rosewood Manor.‘ She called Lisa to prepare a room for him.
Lisa asked, “Mr. Sinclair, weren’t you and Mr. Sinclair planning to go on vacation for a week? Why are you back early?”
“Well…” She wasn’t sure how to explain it to Lisa. She brushed it off with a few words and hung up.
“Ophelia, am I causing you trouble?” Scott looked at the unfamiliar girl in front of him, who didn’t even resemble him.
Ophelia smiled and gently patted his head. “No worries. Just stay with me without any concern. We’ll go shopping for some everyday necessities soon.”
Scott replied, “Okay.” Right now, he was one of the few family members she had.
The two went to the nearest mall, where Ophelia picked out some sportswear for him. “From now on, we’ll go jogging together every morning.”
“Sure.” Scott agreed readily; his temperament was as pleasant as ever.
Ophelia also bought him a phone, storing her number in it. “If anything happens, you must call me.”
“Sure.”

The taxi stopped at the foot of Rosewood Manor, Ophelia paid the fare, picked up their bags, and led Scott to the villa halfway up the hill.
It was nighttime in Dellanex, and Ophelia walked slowly, remembering how Kenneth had once carried her home at a relaxed pace.
He walked so slowly that she almost fell asleep. He seemed to say something at that time, but she couldn’t hear it clearly. Standing at the entrance of Rosewood Manor, the light pink hyacinths swayed gently in the breeze.
She was momentarily entranced, as if she had returned to a year ago when she first stepped into Rosewood Manor after being reborn. Back then, she was all alone, her heart filled with thoughts of Kenneth who had died for love.
Now, it felt as if she had returned to being alone once more.
“Ophelia, what’s wrong? Your house is so big! Is everything okay with your family? Why aren’t you going inside?” Scott’s voice snapped her back from her thoughts.
“No, let’s go.” She hadn’t had a family for a long time.
She led Scott into the villa. Lisa had been waiting by the door. She saw Ophelia come back with someone, but the ones who had left with her weren’t with her.
She thought, ‘Mr. Sinclair isn’t here, and neither are Eric and Ray, Mrs. Sinclair’s expression doesn’t look right either. What is going on?‘
Lisa’s smile faded a bit. “Mrs. Sinclair, who is this…”
Ophelia replied, “My brother, Scott Hastings.”

“Hello, Mr. Hastings. Lisa greeted him. Scott seemed unfamiliar with the title and, like a child, took a step behind Ophelia.
“Is the room ready? I’ll take him upstairs first.” Ophelia didn’t mention Kenneth at all.
Lisa nodded and led them to the second–floor bedroom.
Even though Scott had lost his memory, he still had basic life knowledge, and he remembered everything Ophelia told him.
Ophelia suggested, “Why don’t you take a shower? The new clothes we just bought are in the bag. Change and then come down for dinner.”
Scott nodded obediently. Ophelia closed the door behind him as he absentmindedly scratched his head.
Ophelia returned to her room, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.
She stood in front of the elegant floor–to–ceiling window, overlooking a sea of sparkling city lights, like a galaxy below her. In the courtyard, two rows of lush roses swayed softly in the wind, dropping a few pink petals–a truly romantic scene.
By the time she went downstairs, the table was already covered with food.
Having lived with Ophelia for a year, Lisa knew her quite well. She noticed something was wrong with Ophelia’s expression the moment she walked in. Something must have happened.
Lisa asked, “Mrs. Sinclair, why didn’t you come back with Mr. Sinclair?”
“Oh, there’s some work in Milagia that Kenneth has to deal with. Ophelia replied casually, not wanting to make anyone worry about her.
“Mrs. Sinclair, are you upset that Mr. Sinclair didn’t stay until the vacation ended?”
“No, I’m just really tired from the long flight, and a bit hungry too,” she said as she walked over and sat down at the dining table.
Lisa didn’t say anything more and stood by her side, ready to serve her when the time came.
While waiting for Scott to come down for dinner, Ophelia received a phone call. The caller ID showed the location as Milagia.
