?Chapter 1706:


    “There was something odd about them yesterday,” Kylee said, her gaze drifting as if reying the scene. “Your father came to the hospital to see my mom. The moment they locked eyes, something shifted. The air felt heavy. Their reactions were strange. On the way home, I asked my mom about Mr. Wright—about what he meant to her. But instead of answering, she reacted intensely. She denied knowing him at all, and then, as if that wasn’t enough, she warned me to steer clear of your family altogether. Her words were sharp, almost panicked. That kind of overreaction doesn’te from nothing. It was very odd.”


    Zaria’s eyes widened slightly; she was caught off guard by Kylee’s revtion. She hadn’t anticipated that Elwood would take the initiative to visit Car; it was a move she hadn’t seening.


    So, his memories truly were beginning to resurface.


    A quiet satisfaction stirred within her. Lately, Tamara and Tasha had both grown visibly more restless, theirposure beginning to crack.


    Zaria noticed it all, and each tremor in their nerves only deepened her suspicions—Tasha was hiding something. That much was clear.


    Well, if Tasha thought she could wield secrets as weapons, Zaria believed she was more than ready for the game. Let her try. She would be more than happy to see which of them had the sharper de, and who would be left smiling in the end.


    Zaria pressed her lips into a thin line before speaking, her voice calm but thoughtful. “Lately, my father has been showing signs—small but noticeable—that his memory is beginning to return. I think he sought out your mother to confirm something, maybe hoping that seeing her might help jog his memory further.”


    As the words left her mouth, her gaze shifted—growing more intent, more solemn—as it settled on Kylee. “Kylee,” she said, her tone softening with sincerity, “can I ask you for a favor?”


    Kylee nodded, curiosity flickering in her eyes. “What is it?”

    “Without hesitating,” Zaria replied, “I’d like you to persuade your mother to meet with my father more often during this time. Being around her might elerate his memory recovery.”<fn0c3d> Checktest chapters at f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn0c3d>


    A faint flicker passed through Kylee’s eyes, but she didn’t say anything. A question had been gnawing at the edges of her mind, one she could no longer ignore.


    Why was Zaria so intent on helping Elwood recover his memory?


    From everything Kylee had observed, one truth stood out—Elwood and her mother had once been lovers. That much was undeniable.


    If Elwood were to regain his memory and recall those buried emotions, it wouldn’t benefit Zaria or Tamara in the slightest. In fact, it might stir up trouble neither of them was prepared for. So what was Zaria really after by doing this?


    Kylee finally voiced the thought aloud, her toneced with quiet confusion. “Zaria, I don’t understand—why do you want your father to regain his memory?”
