Boarding gate.
Edward was scrolling through Anastasia’s Twitter media.
He paused when he saw an album named “my love.”
Instinctively, he clicked on it, but it required a password.
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly entered 1003.
The album opened, and Edward’s eyes instantly reddened.
Because the password she set was his birthday.
Almost every photo that appeared was about him.
From the small things, like the bouquet he casually bought her from a street vendor.
To the big moments, like the photo of them together at her graduation ceremony.
She even left a few words with every photo.
She wrote, “Eddie is the best brother in the world. I want to stay by his side for my whole life.”
She wrote, “I think I might be starting to like Eddie a little, but… it seems like he has someone he
likes.”
The most recent message was from two months ago.
She wrote, if she could have a chance to start over, she would rather not be adopted by the Copeland family, and not fall in love with Edward,
Reading this, Edward’s hands began to tremble.
A strange sense of panic welled up in his heart.
Even if he really found her, what would it change?
Should he tell her that he truly loves her, or admit that everything with Priscilla was just a game?
Edward’s heart was suddenly filled with bitterness.

But when his gaze fell on the wedding ring on his finger, that panic vanished.

After all, he already knew he was wrong. Besides, Anastasia had always been unable to leave him. As long as he sincerely apologized and promised not to make the same mistake again, she would surely forgive him.
The plane took off quickly, and after more than ten hours of flying, it landed in Switzerland.
However, during this time, Edward didn’t dare close his eyes even once.
The prolonged mental strain forced him to rely on coffee to stay awake.
But he still didn’t dare relax, ordering people to search all over Switzerland, yet after several months, there was still no news of her.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Anastasia had just finished surgery and was already able to speak a few words.
Although her recovery was slow, being able to make sounds again made her extremely excited.
“You need to eat light meals for a while, be careful not to get too tired, and rest early.”
Anastasia nodded vigorously.
During this period, Lucian had never confessed his feelings to her, but he cared for her in every possible way.
This troubled her greatly, even making her start to doubt.
Was she just overthinking things?
Lucian noticed her staring at him and touched his own face. “Is there something on my face?”
Anastasia shook her head. Thinking of how well he had taken care of her lately, she decided to invite him to a meal.
“The Western restaurant by the lake just opened recently. Would you like to go try it with me?”
“Sure, I’d be honored.”
Anastasia waited for him in the lounge until he finished work.
During that time, another nurse winked at her. “Waiting for your boyfriend to get off work?”
Anastasia quickly waved her hands, her face unconsciously growing warm.

Seeing this, the nurse covered her mouth and giggled, pulling another nurse over and saying, “Looks like Dr. Weldon hasn’t won her over yet.”
Her words left Anastasia a bit confused, but what followed only confirmed her suspicions.
So much so that, when they walked side by side later, she deliberately kept some distance from him.
Lucian noticed her unusual behavior, but said nothing, still standing by her side.
The two of them walked silently along the lakeside.
Summer had arrived, and today was a rare day of beautiful weather.
Sunlight reflected off the lake, a gentle breeze stirred the sparkling waves, making the scene truly beautiful.
For a moment, Anastasia was mesmerized, and didn’t notice the child riding a bicycle toward her.
Just as the bicycle was about to hit her, Lucian instinctively grabbed her hand, accidentally pulling her into his arms.
In the next instant, Anastasia’s cheek was pressed against his chest, and she could almost hear the thunderous beating of his heart.
At the same time, smelling the faint, cool scent of cedar on him, her own heart raced even faster.
She blinked, looking at his hand resting on her waist, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.
“Anna, are you alright?”
His clear voice came from above her head. She immediately stepped out of his embrace, waved her hand, and avoided his gaze to show she was fine.
Lucian wanted to say something more, but when he saw a strange man ahead watching them with a cold expression, he frowned.
