“I’m fine. How are you feeling?” Cecelia asked with concern. “I’m much better,” responded Verda.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment. Verda couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Linsey, do you have something to say to me?” Cecelia felt a lump in her throat. She lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, her eyes were misted by tears. “Verda, do you remember anything about your childhood?”
“I do, what’s wrong?” Verda became even more confused, wondering why Cecelia was acting so strangely today.
“Do you remember a brass whistle you had when you were young?” asked Cecelia.
“What whistle?” Verda was puzzled.
“This one.” Cecelia took out the whistle and showed it to him. “Is this your whistle?”
Verda looked at it and shook his head. “No, Miss Linsey. This whistle is not mine.”
“What?” Cecelia was surprised. “It’s not yours? You gave it to Cyrus, didn’t you?”
“I found it by accident and gave it to Cyrus, but it’s not mine.”
“It’s not yours?” Cecelia was caught off guard.
She looked at Verda and then at the whistle in her hand, her convictions crumbling in an instant.
She thought to herself, “The whistle is not Verda’s? How could it be?”
“You found it? Where did you find it, then? When did you find it?”
Cecelia finally realized that she might have made a mistake. If the whistle was found by Verda by accident, then Verda couldn’t be her brother.
Then where was her brother now?
“I found it in my car when I went to pick up your children. I’m not sure who it belongs to.”
Verda truthfully told her and asked, “What’s wrong, Miss Linsey? Is there something wrong with this whistle?”

Cecelia’s heart began to ache even more. She explained, “This whistle was my brother’s when he was young. I asked Cyrus, and Cyrus said you gave it to him, so I thought you were my brother. But….”
Verda finally understood. “Miss Linsey, I am the only son in my family. I don’t have a sister. I am certain about it. If this whistle belongs to Mr. Kevin, we can find him by following this clue.”
“You’re right. Are you sure you found it in your car?”
“Yes.”

“Except for me, who else has been in your car?” Cecelia wanted to find out quickly.
“After getting cleaned, my car has only been occupied by you and the young masters.” Something suddenly occurred to Verda. “Oh, by the way, you asked me to take the drunk Adam to the hotel. He also took my car.”
“You mean… Adam?” Adam’s smiling face suddenly flashed through Cecelia’s mind, and her heart ached.
She wondered, “Could the whistle be dropped by Adam? Could he be my brother Kevin?”
The more Cecelia recalled, the more pain she felt. If Adam really was the memory-loss Kevin, then that should be why she felt an inexplicable closeness and warmth when she first met him.
With this in mind, Cecelia stood up. “Verda, rest well. I’m going to find Adam and ask him.”
“Alright.”
Cecelia didn’t hesitate. She quickly left the hospital and asked Everest to stay to take care of Verda.
In the corridor, Cecelia ran into Remington. Remington noticed her anxious expression and asked, “Cece, what’s wrong? Where are you going?”
“Remington, I need to find my brother,” Cecelia responded.
“Verda is still in the ward, isn’t he?” Remington asked.
“No, he is not my brother, I made a mistake. The whistle doesn’t belong to Verda. He just found my brother’s whistle by accident.”
Cecelia tried to restrain her emotions.

“So, who is your brother? Did you find out?” asked Remington.
“I think it might be Adam,” replied Cecelia.
“Adam?”
Remington was shocked. Obviously, even though they had interacted with Adam many times before, they never assumed that Adam was Kevin.
“Did you call him?” asked Remington.
“I did, but I couldn’t reach him, so I have to go find him.”
Cecelia just called Adam, but his number was not in service.

It was likely that Adam was hurt by Cecelia’s harsh words when she kicked him out of Bluebell Mansion, and he canceled his number.
“I’ll go with you.”
Remington offered to accompany Cecelia. They left the hospital together, with Remington driving and Cecelia sitting in the passenger seat.
They first went to the hotel where Verda had sent Adam to stay. On the way there, Cecelia sadly told Remington about the previous unpleasant affairs between her and Adam.
Remington frowned. “So you mean, Adam may also be manipulated by someone to get the secret recipe?”
“Yes. But at that time, I said a lot of harsh words and drove him away. I actually drove my own brother away.”
The more Cecelia thought about it, the sadder she felt, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Remington handed her a handkerchief and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Things might not be as simple as they seem. Your brother has been suffering from amnesia for many years and was manipulated to obtain the secret recipe, which indicated that there must be someone controlling him. But maybe the whistle is not Adam’s, and it’s just a trap. Your brother might be caught by someone.
Cecelia said nothing more, and her heart ached so much that she couldn’t even breathe.
She really hoped it was Adam. She didn’t want any more conspiracies or traps. She didn’t want to be separated from her brother anymore.
Remington accompanied Cecelia to the hotel Verda had arranged.

but when they inquired at the front desk, they were told that Adami had checked out in the morning.
After leaving the hotel, Cecelia felt frustrated. “I didn’t even ask when he lived. Now I can’t contact him. Where can I find him?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for Winger to help investigate.”
Remington immediately called Winger and gave him instructions. After Remington ended the call, Cecelia suddenly thought of a place. “Remington, hurry up! Take me to a place!”
“What place?”
“Cherry Ridge.”
“Get in the car!”
After they got in the car, Remington drove toward Cherry Ridge in the outskirts.

Among the many cherry trees on Cherry Ridge, one tree stood out. It had been growing for many years, with a trunk thicker than a plate. It was located on a small hill, the best spot in the forest, offering a beautiful view.
A tall figure in white stood under the tree, gazing into the distance. No one knew what Adam was thinking at this moment. Perhaps he was reminiscing about his childhood or remembering his loved ones. He remained still for a long while before finally making some movements.
As far as he could see, the cherry blossoms were blooming everywhere. He seemed to see his sister running towards him with a smilé.
After more than an hour, Cecelia and Remington arrived at Cherry Ridge.
The cherry blossoms were no longer in full bloom, but the forest was still lush. They walked together into it.
Cecelia searched for the largest cherry blossom tree, where she used to play together with her brother and have picnics with their mother.
“Cece, look over there!” Remington exclaimed, pointing in a direction. Cecelia followed his gesture and looked over.
