"Mommy, I'm done. Do you want to shower?"
"Hmm." Cordy nodded and ordered, "Go to bed early."
"Okay."
After that, Cordy walked into the bathroom.
On the other hand, Richard behaved well and slept on the accompanying bed beside Lucas.
Covering himself with the blanket, he turned to look at Lucas.
At that time, Lucas had turned his attention back to his phone again.
However, he had clicked on a website for half an hour, but he did not scroll to another page.
Other than the fact that their arrivals had made him absent-minded, which he could not pinpoint, he could see many baffling things appearing in his head. Even being hospitalized felt like deja vu.
However, he could recall nothing even after he dwelled on it carefully.
He lost his memory three years ago.
He remembered nothing after he woke up because of a car accident.
Consequently, he found not a tinge of familiarity toward his so-called relatives and friends. They were just strangers to him.
That kind of loneliness and helplessness almost drove him mad.
During that period, he happened to bump into Nana, who was being hospitalized like him since she was having treatment for her heart. Her naivety and pureness as well as her enthusiasm toward life affected him. After a while, they logically became a couple.
However, he felt that something was lacking between them.
He did not know what it was, but he felt that he had forgotten something. It had always been buried in his heart which made it hard for him to open his heart to her.
"Lucas."
Richard called after him out of the blue.
Lucas was lost in a daze, so he was frightened by the voice.
He turned around to look at Richard.
Richard covered himself well under the blanket, only exposing his small head.
