She had lost her memory, and there was a big gap in her relationship. How could she face it when she went back?
"I..." Evelyn opened her mouth and said hesitantly after a long time, "If I go back, will I meet Lucas?"
"Yeah."
She lowered her head and looked a little depressed, "But I don't remember..."
"Don't worry," He could tell that she was anxious, "As long as I'm here, I'll remind you not to let anyone find out, okay?"
He had never been as patient as he was now in the past 30 years.
Alivia's frantic heartbeat calmed a bit upon hearing the man's words. Although she couldn't recall their past, she instinctively trusted him.
Avoidance wouldn't solve any problems; she had to face them.
Having made a quiet decision in her heart, Alivia took a deep breath, "Alright, I'll go back with you."
After such a long time, returning to that familiar city was even more poignant for Huston, as both Hawk and this case had taken a toll on them.
He sat by the bedside and pulled her into his embrace. Her soft body tensed up immediately, an instinctive reaction. He gently patted her back to soothe her, saying, "Don't be nervous. I won't hurt you."
"I know," She gradually relaxed and rested her chin on his shoulder, "Huston, thank you."
