"Tell me, how did you locate Laura?"

“Remember when we dined aboard the ship that day? I mentioned seeing someone resembling her, didn't I? I heeded your advice and clandestinely investigated. I even arranged for a paternity test. She isn't merely someone who resembles Laura; she is Laura! After being ensnared, she found solace in the embrace of a middle-aged couple.

They had lost their own child, incapable of conceiving another. Thus, they welcomed Laura, who had lost her memories, into their home and changed her name."

"She has endured much," Camila sympathized.

Forrest's head hung low.

“It's all my doing!"

"What lies ahead for you?" she asked.

“I... I have a self-serving motive!" Forrest confessed.

“So much has transpired in the past, and Laura has forgotten it all. In truth, it could be for the best. If she were to remember, she would Likely never forgive me. I believe this is a chance, a new beginning."

Laura had forgotten everything.

And if she accepted him now, they could commence anew.

His motives were indeed self-centered!

Yet Camila could not make decisions for Laura.

"Are you certain she won't suffer again?" This concern weighed heavily on Camila's heart.

“Absolutely,” Forrest asserted.

His conviction radiated with unwavering confidence.

As long as Forrest could protect Laura from harm, Camila was good to go.

“Now, shall we awaken her already?" Camila proposed.

“Let me check."

Forrest stood up.
