Gwen feared she might be too late and instructed the man on the phone to go over first and hold Miles Sterling off.
The man, receiving instructions, imdiately stepped forward and stopped Miles Sterling: "Sir, what are you doing here?"
Miles Sterling was blocked, and he stood looking at the man suddenly in front of him, frowning unhappily, then turned to gaze in the direction Vanessa Sterling had left.
As if afraid that stopping would lead to losing her again, he bypassed the man, impatiently saying, "Don’t bother ."
The man diligently tried to stall for ti, asking, "Sir, where are you going? I can drive you."
Miles Sterling’s tone grew worse: "Get lost, stop following !"
He had no patience to consider whether Gwen’s people appearing was a coincidence; he only wanted to know what connection existed between his past and this girl nad Vanessa.
He feared missing her again.
The man dared not disobey Miles Sterling, so helplessly he called Gwen again, asking what to do.
Gwen, a bit unsettled herself, was also flustered, uncertain about Miles Sterling’s current condition.
After eting Vanessa Sterling, how much of his past mories had he regained?
She feared that if she stopped Miles Sterling from eting Vanessa Sterling now, he might grow even more resentful of her.
She considered another possibility, where even if Miles Sterling and Vanessa Sterling reunited and Miles regained his past mories.
If she could act casually and generously, casting herself as the most tragic character in this story, then considering the dedication she had shown for Miles during this ti, he might still be willing to continue their marriage.
If she forcibly held Miles Sterling back now, given his personality, it might just backfire.
Moreover, under the influence of dication, even if Miles Sterling ets Vanessa Sterling, he might not necessarily recall the past.
So there was no need for her to panic this much.
Vanessa Sterling had been looking at her phone as she walked, so she never noticed soone following behind.
She entered the elevator, pressed the floor button, and again lowered her head to reply to ssages on her phone.
The elevator doors, which had been closing slowly, suddenly opened wide.
Vanessa Sterling instinctively looked up, initially thinking it was a resident from the sa building, but when she saw who was entering the elevator, her face changed dramatically, and her feet moved backward out of fear until her body pressed against the elevator wall.
Miles Sterling saw the panic in Vanessa Sterling’s eyes, and the words he wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat.
Vanessa Sterling, like a prey cornered by a fierce beast, stood frozen, hardly daring to take a breath.
The elevator doors closed slowly once more, and as Vanessa Sterling saw them about to shut, she mustered her courage to walk toward the door, intending to leave before it closed.
Just as she was about to move, she suddenly heard Miles Sterling say, "I saw you at the amusent park that day. I think I rember you. Did we know each other before?"
Hearing Miles Sterling’s words, Vanessa Sterling’s mind, shocked into a brief blankness, suddenly realized Miles Sterling had amnesia.
Vanessa Sterling swallowed, dispelling the thought of fleeing, maintaining the farthest distance from Miles Sterling in the cramped elevator space.
Suppressing her inner fear, she looked up at Miles Sterling, trying hard to keep her voice steady, said to him: "...You must have mistaken for soone else. I’ve never t you."
