Chapter 1955
It was then that they suddenly saw two figures coming inside, the sight of which left the five men dumbfounded.
"Stanley, a-am I seeing this correctly? I think I saw Nicole!" Samuel widened his eyes, thinking that it was all just an
illusion.
Spencer stuttered. "I-I saw her too!"
Shocked, Stanley sputtered, "It's real! It's really her!"
Sean and Steve, who were stunned too, were both at a loss for words.
Nicole had been missing for five years, and the last thing they had ever expected was to see her again.
However, Jared had never given up on searching for her, and at long last, he found her!
"It's really Nicole!"
Gloria was overwhelmed with excitement as tears began streaming down her face. She could not help but cry out
loud upon finally seeing the person she had been yearning for after so long.nvëlx.o
"My daughter! You're finally back!"
She had been away from home for so many years, and just a year after she had returned, she was caught in a

again, Gloria had gone through the pain of losing her beloved child. Every single day in the past five years felt like
eternal torment to her.
Meanwhile, Niki had seen Gloria's tearful eyes and heard her saddening cry. Suddenly, she felt a tearing sensation
in her heart and a lump in her throat. Even though she had no memories of her mother, the feelings within her felt
so real.
As it turned out, Jared had not lied to her: this place was truly her home.
Gloria then reached out to Niki, who instinctively walked toward her, allowing Gloria to hold her as she did not want
that old lady to fall over again.
Her movements were so natural, but her blank mind made it impossible for her to say anything to them...
At that exact second, Tia pushed Mrs. Wallace Sr. out in a wheelchair from behind the crowd.
Mrs. Wallace Sr. 's eyes turned red as soon as she saw Nicole. "Nicole, you're really back... Where have you been all
these years?"
Tears welled up in Tia's eyes too as she quickly pushed Mrs. Wallace Sr. closer toward Nicole, and that was when the
latter grabbed Nicole's hand, refusing to let go.
Tia and Mrs. Wallace Sr. were right next to each other, and they were the exact people she had seen on the
balcony earlier.
Soon enough, Nicole realized that they were indeed her family, and she finally knew why she felt sad just by looking
at them from afar...
Sean knew that something was wrong when he saw how quiet Nicole was.
Then, he looked at Jared and asked, "Mr. Johnston...erm, when did you find my sister?"
Jared knew that he could not hide the truth from him, so he gave them an honest answer, "Three days ago. Preston
was the one who had found her in a hacker contest first."
"Three days ago? Then why did you bring her back now?" Steve asked, feeling a little upset.
'He knew very well that our mother had been living in pain all this while, and yet he hid Nicole from us. How could
he do that?!' Steve thought.
Jared looked at Steve, and with downcast eyes, he replied," She has lost her memories. I was worried that it would
be too overwhelming for her if I brought her back rashly."
"Lost her memories?!" Samuel and Spencer repeated after Jared in unison.
Sean and the others were shocked too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Jared was right, for Nicole had been looking at him as if they were strangers as soon as she came inside.
"I see. Now I know why she hasn't said a word since she came back here." Stanley said, having noticed that
something was not right too as he began to feel bad for Nicole.
As Niki had heard everything they were talking about, she said, "It's true that I've lost my memories. I can't
recognize any of you..."
She was afraid that she would upset them more if she addressed them wrongly.
Gloria and Mrs. Wallace Sr. burst out crying upon hearing that Nicole had lost her memories. "She has lost her
memories!? Oh, God! How could you be so cruel to my daughter..."
Now, they finally knew why she never came home, and with that in mind, they began to wonder about what she
had gone through while she was living away from home alone....
Upon noticing the look of sorrow on Gloria's face, Niki explained, "Don't worry. I've been doing fine in the past five
years, and I have friends who took good care of me. Even though I have kids, I’m able to support us as a family. I
haven't really faced any hardships.”
It was in her intention to console and assure them, but everyone's eyes widened as soon as they heard the word,
kids.
"Kids? What kids?" Samuel and Spencer exchanged glances.
