Chapter 1946: The Former Bully

Anderson squinted his eyes. The last time he discussed this issue with his parents, it was highly likely that Westbrook was suffering from psychological selective amnesia.

Putting down the book in his hand, Westbrook noticed Anderson and stood up, walking towards him.

"I saw you in the hospital before, Anderson," Westbrook remarked after appraising him. His gaze was clear and his tone much more polite than before.

Anderson nodded. "Hmm, you seem to have fully recovered."

Pointing to his head, Westbrook said, "The wound is still healing, but the stitches haven't been removed yet. It's just covered by my hair, so you can't see it."

Kiki leaned in, "We just got back to school. It was so boring staying at home these days. Luckily, my mom was always with me. In my memory, the time she spent with me from childhood till now doesn't even add up to this one incident."

Kiki spoke with a smile on her lips, looking grateful. After the last ordeal, her mother no longer demanded strictness from her, giving her a love she had never experienced before, soothing the traumas from her captivity.

Westbrook, being particularly nice to Kiki, said, "I've brought you a little snack, it's in your desk. Remember to eat if you're hungry. You should eat less breakfast at home from now on. We have delicious food, with dozens of varieties made by our chef every morning. Not like your house, where you have milk bread sandwiches every day."

"Okay, my mom likes a simple life. I've actually gotten tired of it. Thanks." Kiki accepted graciously, having gone through hardship with Westbrook, and now that his personality had changed, she didn't dislike him as much. She accepted his kindness willingly.

Turning to Anderson, Westbrook said, "Although I don't remember you, I've heard a lot about you from many people, including my brother, sister-in-law, and other classmates. They all say you're talented. Can I be friends with you?"

Anderson was taken aback. He never thought a day would come where Westbrook would want to be friends with him. They had almost been unable to coexist in the same classroom before.

Without answering, Anderson remained silent. Westbrook became anxious and said, pleadingly, "I'll bring you snacks every day too, okay?"

Shaking his head, Anderson replied, "I don't need them."

Feeling awkward, Westbrook hesitated, "I heard from other classmates that our relationship wasn't good in the past. If I did anything wrong before, please forgive me. I'm sorry. I promise to get along well with everyone, including you."

Anderson was surprised. It seemed that Westbrook not only had amnesia, but had also forgotten his own character. He had changed completely.

Without closing the conversation, Anderson said, "I like peace and quiet. I won't bother you, so please don't bother me."

Returning to his seat, Anderson ignored the others and took out his miniature computer to fiddle with.

Pulling Westbrook's sleeve, Kiki said, "He's just like that. Not hitting you is already polite."

Acknowledging her, Westbrook went back to his seat excitedly and continued reading his book.
