After leaving Bunny’s room, Jamie walks out of the villa calmly, pressing the button on her necklace. Then she gets on her car in the underground parking lot to leave the manor.
--
Escorted by cold wind, Jamie drives directly to the wharf of City A in the leaden sky.
It’s January, and the Chinese Spring Festival is coming in less than half a month.
With gloom in her eyes, Jamie touches the necklace. It’s cold outside. She puts on her long white woolen coat and gets off the car.
The wharf is quiet, for no ships passing by. There are few ships moored to the seashore without people on them.
Jamie realizes Ryan has cleaned out the wharf beforehand.
With chill wind against her face, she heads for the appointed place, head drawn in, nose red, and eyes glittering.
She stops at a unique yet beautiful ship.
“I’ve got the ring. Come out and take it,” Jamie says to the people inside.
Then Ryan and Twelve come out of the dark and stop at her.
With hope in her eyes, she sniffs and says, “I give you what you want as promised, and you should tell me my past now.”
It’s more of a trade than payment.
She trades the ring for her past.
Ryan affectionately gazes at Jamie, a weak girl pretending to be tough, and feels compassionate. “Sweetheart, it means nothing to you.”
Jamie raises her head, looking at him with confusion, and she’s delicate that Ryan feels protective of her.
“Where’s the ring?” Twelve tilts her head and feels amused. She wonders if Jamie will kill herself if she recalls her past and finds that she betrays her husband. Twelve can’t wait to see it.
She smiles and stretches her hand out toward Jamie.
Jamie bites her lip, debating with herself.
Seeing her hesitation, Ryan knows she’s ashamed of stealing the ring from a “stranger”.
It costs Dan William three days to recall nothing in her mind. What a loser!
Thinking of Dan’s failure, he puts on his smug face with gentle gaze as if drowned in great joy.
It’s the last time. It’s definitely the last time to hurt her. From now on, he swears he’ll take good care of her.
Jamie has no choice but to walk to them. And her weakness ignites the fire of confidence burning in Ryan and Twelve, for they have successfully taken control of Jamie.
Jamie pulls out the black ring from her pockets, which is warmed by her body. However, she hesitates before she gives it to them.
