Perhaps the few seconds of interaction at the junction wasn’t enough. God seemed to have arranged the

show to satisfy my curiosity.

However, as compared to meeting him in person, he wasn’t as handsome as when he was on screen.

Marcus seemed to have something in mind. He muttered, “Really? I wasn’t aware of it…”

After he finished his sentence, the news anchor carried on with the interviews with other corporate

players.

“His son resembles him a lot, yet Ashton addressed him as Gregory Hall as though they’re not

biologically related…” I started chuckling when I recalled the interaction between the little boy and the

man.

I had a hard time figuring out the reason behind the little boy being addressed with another family name

different from his father’s.

“Ashton has been the paparazzi’s favorite target over the past few weeks. According to the news, the

court ruled that he has custody over his son, while the custody over his daughter belongs to their

children’s mother. Nonetheless, none of them have verified the rumor.” Throughout his orated speech,

Marcus wouldn’t stop sizing me up. He seemed to be anticipating something from me.

Confused by his reaction, I expressed my point of view from the perspective of an onlooker. “Is he a

celebrity? Why has his personal life piqued the interest of the public?”

Although the man was slightly older than the top-notch celebrities, his gorgeous look would allow him to

garner the attention required. Thus, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise for him to make it to the headlines.

Marcus stared dead ahead and said blankly, “Fuller Corporation has dominated the real estate industry

after acquiring the support of an anonymous magnate a few years ago. As of now, he’s the wealthiest

man in the country.”

I gaped at Marcus’ reply and asked, “Have I just missed the chance to take a photo with the wealthiest

man of the country?”

He chuckled in return, behaving as though my response was his sole source of joy. Shortly, he continued

sharing the news regarding Ashton and Fuller Corporation with me.

To my surprise, I wasn’t bored by the news.

I considered it just another success story of a corporation and expressed my respect for the exceptional

prodigy.

After Marcus shared everything with me, I directed a tricky question at him. “Why hasn’t he gotten

married to his fiancée when his child is already six-year-old? Shouldn’t he get married as soon as

possible? Could it be the rumors weren’t mere rumors? Is Ashton just fooling around with his fiancée?”

As a woman, I was also a natural-born busybody. I had heard all sorts of rumors regarding Ashton’s

relationship during my time at the hospital.

His previous marriage had ended up with a divorce. Thora, his new fiancée, was a renowned corporate

figure as well.

The woman was on par with him in terms of look and wealth, yet they hadn’t brought their relationship to

the next level. That was more than enough to prove Ashton was a jerk.

Marcus cleared his thought to suppress his urge to laugh at my seemingly hilarious and sarcastic

statement. “I guess we’ll never know because this is their personal affairs. We’re not really in a position

to comment either.”

“I guess you’re right. Things work differently for those from the upper echelon. We should stop wasting

our time on this, seeing as to how it has nothing to do with us. I’m just sharing my opinion with you

because I have no one else to talk to.”

At the mention of that, hollowness came flooding out again. I suddenly recalled how I couldn’t seem to

remember a single close acquaintance of mine.

Marcus had always been a detail-oriented man. Thus, he noticed that I had things weighing on my mind

again. “You need to give yourself a break and take your time to reflect on your past. I’ll always be here

for you.”

To be honest, I was glad to have him by my side.

Nonetheless, his companionship couldn’t get rid of the odd sensation irritating me. I knew it would go on

and on until I could get rid of it once and for all.

Suddenly, I piped another question, “Do I have any other friends in K City?”

I spent the last fortnight at the hospital, but no one dropped by to visit me. It’s not my fault for not having

friends, right?

Maybe they’re not aware I have regained consciousness, but it’s fine! I can always pay them a visit to

regain my memories!

Marcus seemed to have foreseen my plan. He deadpanned his reply, “We used to fight a lot and spent

most of our time apart from one another. You hated it whenever I tried to poke my nose into your

business.”
