“Sarah, is it you?”
After Travis finished speaking, a beautiful woman who wore an apron walked out from inside.
“I got off the plane about an hour ago and wanted to surprise you, so I came straight here to the kitchen to cook. The rice is ready, do you want to eat?”
Travis and Sarah had been staying together for one year. They had transformed from being strangers at the beginning to being familiar with each other. During the year, they faced life and death many times. They were dependent on each other and nearly died as to help the other. They had a good relationship now. Travis trusted Sarah. He felt that they were loyal comrades in arms.
Seeing Sarah coming over, Travis finally showed a smile even though he was depressed.
“I’m hungry but I still haven’t enjoyed the dishes even though I had prepared a lot of dishes. Your cooking skill is better than me. I’m blessed today.”
“Don’t care about being blessed or what. Eating now is the most important.”
Sarah took Travis’ hand directly to the dining table and sat down. There were only three or four dishes on the table, but all of them were what Travis loved to eat.
After they sat down, Sarah spoke to Travis.
“No matter what had happened, don’t talk about it now, let’s talk after we finish eating. Your body is the most important, please don’t starve yourself.”
This was Sarah’s habit. Previously, they had been trapped in the desert and was unable to find a way out. They had suffered for about twenty days. Travis gave all his food to Sarah. He was starving and only ate a little food every now and then.
During that time, Travis spoiled his stomach. Since then, Sarah learned how to cook and always kept in mind that Travis’ stomach was not so good.
Every time she saw Travis, she would like to cook for him or remind him to eat. With Sarah’s daily reminders, Travis’ stomach had barely recovered.
However, recently, Travis returned to China while Sarah was staying still in the United States. The time difference between the two countries was quite huge, so Sarah did not remind Travis to eat every day, but as soon as she returned, she came to Travis’ apartment and cooked a full table of food.
Because of Sarah’s constant reminders, Travis who was used to waste the food and often did not eat, had transformed into someone who would sit at the dining table and enjoy his meal for half an hour. After he was full, he put down his rice bowl. Sarah had finished eating at the same time. Travis took the initiative to tidy up the dining table, washed the dishes and the kitchen.
After finishing these, Travis walked to the living room. At that time, Sarah was reading her company’s documents on her computer. When she saw Travis coming, Sarah smiled.
“Well, what exactly had happened today? We can talk about it now.”
“I went to see Gigi today. I saw a madman threaten Gigi when I was at her apartment. The madman was holding a knife and nearly hurt Gigi. Luckily, I had arrived in time and was able to punch the madman. Then, I sent him to the police station.”
“No wonder you look bad. It turns out that Miss Lane was nearly injured.”
Sarah sighed and asked Travis.
“Since Miss Lane woke up, you rushed back to China, and now Robert has lost his memory. This is a good opportunity for you to take advantage of the situation. How is your relationship with Miss Lane now?”
“I would like to take advantage of the situation, but Gigi doesn’t love me anymore. She loves Robert, even though Robert has become like this.”
Travis sighed as he said this. He did not want to trick Gigi and did not want to hurt Robert as that would hurt Gigi too. However, he did not know how he could make Gigi love him again. He was lost.
Now, Gigi’s sadness, pain and joy had almost nothing to do with him.
“How long have you been back? Why do you give up so fast? Can you recall how many failures and dangers did we face when we tackled Jayson? We nearly lost our lives for few times. Just take your time, you need to be calm and steady, it’s not that easy to get love in the first place.”
Sarah encouraged him. She showed a sweet smile when she recalled what they had experienced in that year.
Travis frowned when he heard Jayson’s name.
“Have you found Jayson’s traces over there? I’ve been searching for him for a long time when I returned to China but I still can’t find where he is. He’s just too good at hiding. I can’t feel a sense of relief if he’s still alive.”
“There are many people in this world. This is a big country. If he hides in the mountains or the villages, it’s difficult for us to find him. We have to think of a way to lure him so that he takes the initiative to attack us. If he attacks us first, he will reveal himself, otherwise, if he just hides in peace, it’s quite impossible for us to find him.”
“You’ve asked me to investigate Robert’s experiences over the past year and that woman he brought back, Sierra. I’ve checked Sierra’s traces over the past year. There are several cities where she and Jayson overlap. I always think there’s something wrong with them.”
“Are you sure?”
Travis widened his eyes in shock. His eyes were tinged with a little agitation.
Elsie remembered that Travis asked her to be mature and hire some bodyguards to protect her in the future if she wanted to stay with Georgia.
Wilson did not say anything but walked straight inside. Seeing that Georgia was not inside the living room, Wilson turned to Elsie and asked.
“Where is Miss Lane? How’s she now?”
“She had a quarrel with Robert on the phone, she has a bad mood, she doesn’t have her dinner and is sleeping alone in her bedroom. Don’t disturb her, she wants to be alone for a while.”
Wilson stopped walking and then he walked to the living room and sat down.
Elsie hesitated for a moment. She still poured a cup of tea for Wilson. After handing the tea over, Elsie continued to speak.
“When are you planning to hire some bodyguards? After those crazy people showed up this afternoon, I’m uneasy, worried that this is not an accident but a deliberate friction, and if it doesn’t work this time, maybe they’ll send others.”
“I’ve encountered many betrayals this year. I don’t trust bodyguards as well. I don’t dare to ask them to protect you. From now on, I’ll stay here to protect you.”
Wilson suddenly opened his mouth to say this. Elsie’s eyes widened in shock.
“You’re a man, are you sure you want to stay with two women?”
“Why? Are you worried that I’ll have any evil thoughts towards you?”
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Wilson’s dull face.
“Firstly, Georgia is my boss. If I do something like that, I’ll lose my job for the rest of my life. Secondly, I didn’t do anything to you when you seduced me ten years ago, Miss Clarke, you don’t need to worry about anything.”
After Wilson finished his words, Elsie’s face turned red and white for one moment, and then became red the next moment. In the end, Elsie asked in exasperation.
“When exactly do you regain your memory? Or do you recognize me since the beginning and have been watching my joke all this while?”
