I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 447

Professor Alistair Layne was completely absorbed in his interaction with the silver-haired Empathy AI Pro sitting across from him.

His students stood nearby, watching with quiet amusement.

It took the professor a long time to snap out of it, beaming with the pure joy of a child.

"Save this model for me. It absolutely cannot go on the market."

Zoe Lynd simply smiled, keeping her thoughts to herself.

This particular silver-haired female bot was always meant to be a gift for him.

Professor Layne was in his fifties. He had been married once in his youth and had no children.

He and his wife had been deeply in love, deciding early on to live a child-free life, but three years ago, the woman he adored passed away from a severe illness.

The devastating loss had nearly broken him, leaving him trapped in a suffocating wave of grief for a long time.

Zoe had originally considered using his late wife's exact holographic likeness to build an identical companion bot, but she feared it would only reopen old wounds.

After all, the technology was still in its experimental phase and had plenty of flaws.

If the bot were to glitch, the professor would have to endure the agony of losing his beloved wife all over again, and she simply could not bear to put him through that.

After taking a tour of Zoe's lab and observing several prototype bots, everyone was blown away by her sheer ingenuity and the incredibly lifelike experience of interacting with them.

No one was more moved than Professor Layne. He realized that aside from the physical appearance, the way the bot conversed—its voice, expressions, and tone—was practically indistinguishable from the woman in his memories.

That was exactly why he had been captivated from the very first glance.

"Professor Layne, could you introduce me to Zoe?"

Beside the professor, a lean young man in a crisp white shirt was staring intently at Zoe.

Even though she was heavily pregnant, her radiant complexion, bright eyes, and the vibrant passion she exuded while discussing her work completely mesmerized him.
