Chapter 2754


    Nicole’s eyes were brimming with tears as she felt a dull ache in her chest.


    It was such a familiar name, but it had always been hidden in her deepest corners of her subconscious.


    In fact, she had never experienced such a massive surge of feeling, but when she did, it struck her like


    a punch to the heart.


    “They’re doing fine. When you first came back, I’d already informed him that you wouldn’t be around


    because you’ve lost your memories. But don’t worry. He has been asking about you. Since you


    remember him now, you may contact him.”


    Jared stroked her hair softly andforted her.


    “Let’s go home first,” Nicole said, having a mix of feelings at the thought of contacting Zane out of the


    blue.


    She was feeling unsettled, as if her heart and mind were at odds with one another.


    “Alright, we’ll go home then.” Jared gave her a warm and gentle hug,forting her.


    “Now that I can recall the past, it feels like a lifetime has passed since then.”


    Nicole sighed.


    Although she had been regaining fragments of her memory from time to time ever since she returned,


    Zane and his organization were much like family, just like the Riddles. Both of which held an important


    ce in her heart.


    “Actually, I was not the only one searching for you all these years. Zane had been trying very hard to


    find you as well. Thankfully, you returned, and everyone has been a lot more at ease since then.” Jared


    patted Nicole in the shoulder.


    Even if she did not return, none of them would give up, and they would continue their search for her


    forever.


    Still, one could only imagine how hurt and sad Nicole felt.’ They must’ve despaired countless times


    when they failed to get any leads on my whereabouts.’ After all, Crescent Ind was far and remote. It


    was disconnected from the outside world. On top of that, Nicole had lost her memory, so it was normal


    for them to fail during their search.


    Realizing that she had an odd look on her face, Jared asked in a low voice, “What are you thinking


    about?”


    “Nothing.” Nicole shook her head.


    Then, she looked up at Jared and smiled, “I was just thinking back about my life back at Crescent


    Ind.”


    Nicole was living a carefree life on that little ind. While she was raising the two kids, she had even


    thought about settling down at the ind permanently.


    Yet, what she did not know was that there were many people out there who were genuinely worried


    about her. They were sparing no effort in searching for her while trying not to fall into despair.


    “Perhaps that was the period in your life when you were at your most rxed.”


    Jared held her hands.


    In fact, Jared was grateful that she had gotten to experience that, given the fact that she had been


    fighting for her dear life for the longest time. All that mattered was that Nicole was alive and well. To top


    it off, she had also returned to San Joto.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Jared could not imagine how his life would turn out if he could not see Nicole anymore for the rest of


    his life.


    The car came to a halt, and Nicole turned to look outside just to realize that they had reached home.


    The both of them got down from the car and entered the living room, where Daniel and Gloria were


    seated.


    “Dad? Mom?” Nicole greeted.


    “Good evening, Daniel and Gloria,” Jared followed.


    The couple then went to the couch and sat down.


    “You guys are back. Nn and Lana haven’t returned yet.” Gloria looked at the both of them and


    turned her gaze to the hallway.


    Usually, the little kids would have returned by this hour.


    Just as Gloria had spoken, Nn and Lana ran in happily.


    “Daddy! Mommy! Grandpa! Grandma.”


    “My little babies are back. I was just talking about the both of you.” Gloria smiled, happy to see Nn


    and Lana.


    “We saw Dad’s car just now, so we knew that mommy and Daddy are back. We even called out to


    them, but too bad they couldn’t hear us.” Lana lifted her head with her lips curved.


    “I wasn’t paying attention, so I didn’t notice the both of you there.” Nicole patted the two little ones in


    the head.


    “Nicole, they were really loud. I told them you won’t be able to hear them, but they still continued


    shouting.” Tia entered with a smile on her face.
