Chapter 184
Cyanide Lane, Yasmine walked under the shade of the trees. There was a villa here that used to be her home
with her parents, but after their passing, she never cback. The house felt empty with no one to greet her.
Standing alone in the deserted villa mule her feel suffocated. As soon as she pushed open the door, a loud creak
echoed, and the door, covered in dust from years of neglect, swung open. The thick dust swirled up like fog,
making Yasmine rough violently. In that mistant, light poured in, revealing a living room engulfed in a dense,
durity haze. Beuder the blanket of dust, there were the pervasive odors of dump and mold
The heavy beige curtains held faint memories of her mother. Yasmine had rushed into her mother's arms
countless times after school, and later into her father's embrace when he returned from work. But now, all of
that had vanished, leaving her alone. If her father were still around the might have been able to seek solace with
him when Xavier wanted a divorce But she was left without that support.
She walked into the storage room where her old things were kept. In her childhood room, heavy hooks still sat on
the bookshelf by the window She picked up one randomly-it was The Little Prince. She remembered pestering
her mother to read it to her several days in a row, it had been her favorite book. Flipping through the pages
brought a flood of past memories, making it seem as if nothing had changed-that she was still living
those times
As she picked up another book, a photograph fell out. She bent down to retrieve it and stared at it, stunned. The
picture showed her younger self. smiling brightly, alongside another girl who shared the spure smile. She
recognized her
The photo didn't have a date, and she couldn't recall any memory of it. But she was sure that this wasn't her
current self. She used to be outgoing and cheerful, always smiling. She wasn't sure when she changed-was it
after she fell for Xavier, or only after the divorce? Even she couldn't tell
Suddenly, she remembered what Yoselin had said during their therapy sessions. She had discussed memory
confusion for a long twith Lena and Eric. It wasn't true, but what Yoselin said was real. When did she actually
meet with Yoselin? Was it years ago? Yasmine stared at the photo, her fingers clenching tightly as if they could
crack open her pounding head, which felt like it was being gnawed by countless ants. She reached for her phone
and called Yoselin, "Are you free now! | need to see you Inside the cafe on Cyanide Lane, Yasmine slid a photo
over to Yoselin. "Take a look."
Yoselin curiously picked up the photo and stared at it, disbelief washing over her. "Yasmine, when did we take

expression was complicated. "So this photo is at least three years old?" Yoselin exclaimed in disbelief.
Yasmine nodded. She couldn't quite figure it out herself. If her memory was faulty, Yoselin should recall the
details, at least have sreaction upon seeing this photo. But she didn't respond at all. They hadn't even
known each other for a year. How would this plature be explained:
Yasmine pondered for a moment before speaking. "You mentioned sthings subconsciously before. | thought
you were just getting things mixed up.
Yoselin shook her head, "I have no recollection.
For the first time, Yasmine doubted herself. She even wondered if her memory was failing her, but there were no
sudden blanks or gaps in her recollection, nothing she could point out as missing
Yoselin added two sugars to her coller. Seeing Yasmine's pale face, she couldn't help but ask, "Yasmine, did you
really break up with my brother" Yasmine gave a bitter smile, Mr. Russell and Ms. White are probably childhood
sweethearts. | wish them well. Than

"Yasmine, my brother really does like

"Okay." Yoselin nodded firmly.
After dropping Yoselin off, Yasmine returned to Morgan's house, only to find Yonas's car parked at the entrance.
Yonas was leaning on the car door smoking; as soon as he saw her, he quickly put out his cigarette, "Yasmine."
Yasmine gave him an indifferent
glance but didn't respond, brushing
past him as she headed upstairs.

Back in the counseling room, Yasmine settled back into her seat. It felt strange, as if she hadn't been here in
ages. She took a photograph out of her bag and placed it on the desk; it was the one of her and Yoselin.
