Chapter 993 Meeting Lamia
After leaving the hospital, Hendrey found a place to drink alone as memories of the past flashed before
his eyes. In his heart, Veronica was still the most important person to him, but fate had played a cruel
trick on him by making her forget him repeatedly.
Despite his frustration, he knew he couldn't change anything. He wasn't Crayson nor a member of the
hidden clan, and Hendrey didn't possess the secret techniques to unseal her memories. After she
disappeared, he tried his best to find her but to no avail. It wasn't until she reappeared with amnesia
that he saw her again, only to have her not recognize him. This happened not just once but twice, and
as time passed, his once passionate heart grew colder and colder.
As he sat there drinking, his phone began to ring. He took a sip of his drink and answered the call.

"She has amnesia," Hendrey replied nonchalantly, but the words struck him like a sharp knife, piercing
his chest and making him gasp. Then, he put down his drink, clenched his fist, and pounded his chest
to relieve his heartache.
"Really? Crayson is so ruthless," Zac said, sounding frustrated. He knew Veronica's amnesia was of no
benefit and only caused problems.
"Hendrey, you—"
Hendrey didn't want to listen to Zac anymore and hung up the phone. When Zac tried to call back,
Hendrey did not pick up. Finally, Hendrey turned off his phone in annoyance and continued to drink by
the window.
"Sir. A-Are you okay?" Suddenly, a woman dressed in a green dress appeared before him, looking at
him with concern.
He looked up at her and frowned. "Have we met before?" Although he had had a few drinks, he wasn't
drunk.
The woman furrowed her brow and tilted her head, trying to remember. "Y-You are... I can't remember
your name right now." She was annoyed with herself and tapped her head in frustration.
"Hendrey Johnson."
"Oh, yes, Hendrey Johnson. Mr. Johnson, I've been looking for you for a long time. I didn't expect to
see you again." She was overjoyed and almost danced with happiness.
On the other hand, Hendrey knew her name was Lamia Elrod. When he was kidnapped and taken to
Castron, he met his current mysterious boss, Buckner. When Buckner brought him to Castron, he met
Lamia for the first time.

him. "I was fishing by the river under the Desolate Cliffs. You were boating and fell into the water. I
saved you. Do you remember?" He reminded her of the past.
At that time, he had lived in the hidden clan with Buckner for a long time because Buckner had
something to do and couldn't leave. So, Hendrey learned the hidden tongue and discovered Crayson's
true identity. In his boredom, he went fishing by the river and happened to meet her.
Nonetheless, he had also learned of Lamia's other identity. She was Hayley's niece, and she was
highly regarded by Hayley Elrod.
"N-No. I remember you but was so excited that I had forgotten your name." Lamia, who was slightly
shy, rose quickly and bowed to him. "Forgive me, Mr. Johnson." Her features were attractive, and she
had fair skin. She looked just like her mother, down to the striking eyebrows and charming dimples at
the corners of her mouth.
