Edward laughed heartily. “No, I was just startled for a moment. Oh, I remember now! You’re Hannah Lower, and I remember you were a crybaby who would turn on the waterworks easily when we were young.” Glaring at him, Hannah retorted, “That’s all because you broke my heart.”
“I was ignorant back then. Don’t hold it against me,” he said with a chuckle. As though he just remembered Lara, he spun his head around at her. “Lara, come over quickly. Can you still recognize our old classmates?”
However, she was still held back by a bodyguard and could only smile awkwardly. Only then did Edward snap back to the situation. As he was overjoyed to see his old classmates, he had forgotten about the current situation. Why did Eugene bring all of them here? “All of you are here because…” he trailed off, his voice filled with bafflement.
“Firstly, I must apologize to you,” Nigel started. “I’ve been feeling bad all these years, actually, but later when I heard that you’re together with Lara, I thought it was a good thing and didn’t say anything. This time when your son found us, I learned that Ellen had already passed away in a car accident.” A confused Edward said, “Tell me the main point. What do you mean?”
“Do you remember our first gathering after graduation?” Nigel asked. “It was in a restaurant that caught fire after that.”
Nodding his head blankly, Edward answered, “I remember, and it was Lara who saved me.” Nigel helplessly shook his head. “It wasn’t like that-” Before he could finish, Lara’s panicked voice echoed loudly. “Nigel Lowe!”
When all eyes darted toward her, she forced herself to be composed and tried to turn the situation around. “I recognize you now. Oh my, it’s been years since we last met. You still remember me, right?”
