Noah felt so embarrassed that his secret had been exposed.
He broke out into a cold sweat.
John narrowed his eyes. He knew that Noah liked Nina, but she wasn't aware of that.
He clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles.
Leon and Vicente silently sat in place and leaned forward, blocking the path between Noah and John.
Leon was just worried that they'd start fighting and wake Nina up. Vicente was worried that she would get hurt too once they started fighting.
"Ford, I need to know how to make her regain her memories." As soon as Noah finished talking, John stopped cracking his knuckles.
John thought, 'He still has a conscience and knows that nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable.'
He felt the fiery rage build inside himself.
"No. I'm not involved in the research and development of the Memory Charm. I only know that the drug injected into Nina's body may be finished or defective. I don't have any information about the drug; it has been taken away." Hearing some odd sounds come through the phone, Ford decided to hide what he knew about the Memory Charm.
He thought, 'Boss told me to give the information to Noah.
Maybe he just wanted Noah to have the option of keeping Nina or not.
It's up to Noah, but I don't know whether he is being threatened or not now.'
Ford decided to keep the information a secret. His answer completely shattered Noah's, John's and Leon's hopes.
"Okay, thank you." Noah hung up the phone.
They all fell into silence again.
After some time, John spoke up. "I'll put on a mask and stay with them."
The problem seemed to be settled, but in reality this was the only solution anyway.
Only the four of them knew about it.
John moved into the castle of the Nangong family and became Van and Don's bodyguard. He wore a mask all day long, pretending like he had gruesome scars plastering his face so they had to be covered. He also acted as if he couldn't speak.
However, his tall hulking figure was enough to attract the attention of the maids in the castle. One maid in particular was Cali.
"Your Ladyship, do you still remember the bodyguard I mentioned? He's going to come to the hospital to pick up Van and Don later." Cali was busy packing for Nina.
After staying in the hospital for more than a month, Nina could finally go back to the castle. She was just thankful that she didn't have to smell the hospital disinfectant anymore.
Van and Don didn't need to be in incubators anymore, and they could stay with their mom now. Nina held one of them in each arm, swaying them gently.
"You mean Sean? I've heard you mention him many times." Nina gently smiled at her little babies. "Van, Don, you are so well behaved. I love you so much."
Cali hesitated for a moment and asked shyly, "Can you help me get his phone number?"
"What?" Nina looked at Cali, who was about her age. "Why don't you just ask him?"
"I can't." Cali sounded a little dejected. "He can't speak, so I want his number to actually start talking to him."
Cali had never asked Nina for anything, let alone for help. After thinking for a while, Nina agreed, "I'll give it a try."
"Thank you, Your Ladyship!" Cali excitedly bowed to Nina.
Nina smiled. "Don't mention it."
