Chapter 381

Holding the phone, my thoughts were inexplicably drawn back to a time long

ago.

Some fragments, both unfamiliar and familiar, surged into my memory.

“Frank! You clearly said you’d come to my house for breakfast today, but you overslept again!”

“Frank, it hurts so much! Quick, carry me!”

“Frank, they all say we have an engagement. What is an engagement?”

“Frank, pick that one, the big orange!”

“Frank…”

‘Do you even have any sense? Is arriving exactly on time considered late?”

“Who told you to run so fast? Get on.”

“It means I will marry you.”

“I know, I know, little princess.”

“Lily! Do you have any manners? You should show me, your brother, more respect!”

I was sobbing uncontrollably. “Frank, I don’t have a grandpa anymore. Grandma said everyone will leave, and no one can stay with Lily forever.”

He patiently comforted me. “I will, Lily. I’ll be with you forever.”

I blinked my eyes. “Frank, you’re like a gentleman today.”

He arrogantly raised his chin and corrected me like a little adult. “I’m a gentle brother.”

Memories from childhood, recent ones, and the news of Frank’s death intertwined continuously in my mind.

pressed my hand firmly against my chest, but my face remaine “Charlotte. ” lack

continue to be like this, you’ll only harm yourself.”

I remained silent for a long time before murmuring, “I remembered…”

But remembering made his death even harder to accept.

“What?” asked Jack

“Jack, I’ve remembered many things…”

Hearing this, Jack immediately called for the doctor. After some questions, it was initially determined that the recent trauma had stimulated my nervous. system, leading to the memory recovery.

When I saw that the doctor I realized something. “Jack, we’re not in Cheria anymore?”

“Yes, we’re in Frankes.” Jack then explained, “Ryan’s network in Cheria is everywhere. After I took you to the hospital and stabilized your condition, brought you to Frankes. I wanted to wait for you to wake up and let your decide everything.”

“Thank you…”

I appreciated his thoroughness.

Right now, the last place I wanted to be was by Ryan’s side.

Those failures and unbearable pasts would attack me repeatedly.

A few days later, the Smith family held a grand funeral for Frank.

Jack asked if I wanted to return to Cheria for it.

I declined.

Frank wouldn’t be dead.

He had never broken his promises to me.

What I fully recovered, the doctor said I could be discharged at any time.

When Jack came back after handling the discharge procedures, I hesitated and said, “Jack, I might… not plan to return to Cheria for now.”

Surprising’s Jack didn’t object at all and sat beside the bed. I received some news that I was hesitating whether to tell you!

Cic shead

There might be something behind Frank’s death.”

He poured me a glass of water. “On the night of the explosion at the research base, a hidden group applied for a flight route from Jeswood to Frankes”

Looked at him. “You mean, Frank might have come to Frankes?”

“If he’s still alive, that is a possibility.

“Then I can…” I pressed my lips together. “I can look for news about him in Frankes

“Yes, you can.” Jack handed me the water. “Charlotte, I respect all your
