Chapter 519 I am Damian's Wife
That was a photograph.
The woman in the photograph was smiling brightly, standing under a blooming cherry blossom tree, with Mount Fuji in the distant background.
Bryan's memory was neither confused nor blurred by the romantic affairs of the past decades; he quickly recalled that scene.
Thirty-five years ago, in the summer, he went on a business trip to Aetheria and had a chance encounter with the girl in the photograph, who was studying at Aetheria University at the time.
He was not married then, handsome and charming, and the girl was in her prime, cheerful and enthusiastic.
After a few meetings, they quickly fell in love and toured the major scenic spots of Aetheria hand in hand.
The season of blooming flowers was particularly beautiful, and their love blossomed like the flowers, romantically.
Later, he returned to his country to get engaged and married.
In an era of poor communication, a cross-country separation was almost equivalent to a final farewell.
Years later, the yellowed photograph returned to his hands.
There was only one photograph, no negatives left, it was left with her at the time of separation, did she send it herself?
The number of people who knew his private phone number could be counted on one hand, and the number that sent the message was obviously a virtual network number.
Bryan couldn't think of anyone who could have both the photograph and his number and the audacity to do this.
"Bryan?" Nicole noticed Bryan's subtle expression and called out softly.
Bryan, after all, was a seasoned veteran, not easily disturbed by such matters. He calmly put down his phone, "Just a small issue at the company, I'll handle it when I get home."
More than half an hour later, Jessica hurried over, greeted the elders present generously, and was very proper.
Nicole was satisfied with this and held her hand, saying, "Every time Grandpa's memory gets confused, he always thinks of you first, which shows he truly likes you, child. Go, keep Grandpa company for a while."
Evelina was very upset, why did Anthony remember Jessica but not the children in the family?
Did she have some magic?
Reluctantly placing the fruit plate in Jessica's hands, Evelina smiled, "Jessica, thank you for your hard work. My grandpa has a bit of a strange temper, if he gets angry later, remember to call us."
Jessica smiled and said, "Mr. Hearst has a good temperament, he doesn't get angry easily."
Evelina was very displeased and deliberately asked, "Jessica, do you have some special trick? Teach me a few tricks, will you? My grandpa is so tough, yet you can coax him so well, it's amazing!"
Jessica could hear the sarcasm but didn't mind, and seriously said, "Don't tease me, if I really had that ability, I would use it on Damian."
Evelina smiled sweetly, "You haven't won over Damian yet? Just winning over my grandpa and my uncle and aunt isn't enough, Damian has a strong personality, didn't you see, he didn't even come to the family dinner today."
Jessica didn't want to fall out with Evelina, as she was very favored by Damian, and if she spoke ill of her, it would be a loss, "I don't want to win over anyone, just for Mr. Hearst's sake, trying to make the elders happy, that's all."
Watching Jessica's back, Evelina pouted, she didn't believe it!
Turning around, she sent a message to Damian: [Damian, Grandpa had temporary amnesia again today, and your Jessica came over again. It's so strange, why does Grandpa only remember Jessica and not us, his own grandchildren? Are you two dating? Does Grandpa really want her as his granddaughter-in-law? Grandpa relies on her so much!]
After waiting for a while, there was no reply.
Nicole smiled and said, "Evelina, you're graduating next year, right?"
Evelina put on a cute and pitiful smile, "Yes, next June."
"You're an adult now, you can't be as willful as when you were a child." Nicole still smiled slightly.
But her smile put a lot of pressure on Evelina.
Magnolia protected Evelina, crossing her arms, "Nicole, I'll teach my daughter, no need to trouble you."
Nicole's loss of Faye was a wound in her heart that could not heal, and her feelings towards Evelina were complex, both liking and envying her. Everything Evelina enjoyed now, Faye should have had too!
Victor and Nathan's faces were not good, and since Anthony couldn't remember them, they didn't stay long.
Walking out of the villa, Nathan couldn't stay calm, "Victor, are we just going to watch Bryan's family show off in front of us? Damian is crippled, and Bryan still wants him to return to the KM Group as president, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?"
He angrily kicked the pebbles at his feet.
Victor lit a cigarette and sneered, "Bryan may want it, but Damian may not. He cares so much about his face, he will definitely try to hide his true condition and not let anyone know he's crippled."
Nathan chuckled, "Do you think this is a curse? Bryan and his wife have done so many bad things, Faye is dead, and Damian is crippled."
Victor looked at Nathan's smile and smirked, "Who knows? Maybe."
Jessica chatted with Anthony for a while and then coaxed him to sleep.
When Anthony entered a light sleep, she began to hypnotize him, repeatedly saying her name, suggesting to him: Anthony, I am Jessica, I am Damian's wife, we are a loving couple, you should bless us with happiness, we will have children for the Hearst family, Damian loves me, loves me, the only woman Damian loves is me.
Natalia finished her medicine, and Jasper played puzzles with her.
In the study, Martin was writing a detailed case, discussing Natalia's condition with Ashley and Damian.
"Ashley, don't be too sad, treating a disease in the country takes time, it won't show results overnight."
Ashley understood the rules of treatment, "Thank you, Mr. Collins, it's just hard on you, working so hard every day."
Martin stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "It's fate! If you didn't know Albert, the grudge between my brother and me wouldn't have been resolved. Now I'm treating Natalia, it's all a matter of fate, everything is predestined."
Ashley didn't quite believe in predestination, but it seemed inexplicable, "Mr. Collins, you have saved so many people, this is God's reward for you."
Martin chuckled, "You and Mr. Hearst are also kind people, kindness is never wrong."
Ashley just smiled.
Soon, Martin left.
Only she and Damian were left in the study.
The cool air outside the floor-to-ceiling windows filled the green plants, large patches of deciduous plants fell, revealing dry branches, the ground lights radiated light upwards, turning the branches into outstretched arms.
It was quiet outside, and quiet inside.
So quiet that even breathing was awkward.
Ashley didn't want to stay with him and was about to leave when she heard Damian say, "Your suggestion was useful, I'm investigating the person behind it."
