My Dreamy Old Husband

Bayside City, Riverdale, Bayside South Train Station…

Pondering over these locations, Anna remained silent.

Meanwhile, Louis added, “After that, I thought you would be better off staying with that family rather than following me since Xena and I moved around all the time and we did not know when we could settle down. And so, I did not return to look for you anymore. Never did I expect that after twenty years, you came back all of a sudden at the age of twenty.”

“Besides, we were very astonished upon realizing that Jordan was the one who helped you return to the Yard Family. We had no idea what you had been through in that twenty years, nor did you remember them.”

At that instant, Louis paused and asked, “Why did you suddenly bring this up today? Before this, you refused to talk about anything regarding the twenty years.”

Anna smiled ruefully.

She also didn’t know what she had experienced in the past as there were only some blurry memories in her mind. One thing was for sure, she knew she had existed during the twenty years, and that she did not come from nowhere. During those years, she must have had parents too, and she had certainly been through ups and downs in life.

However, the twenty years were like a dream to her and she only had some vague memories of it. It felt as if she was gazing into a well at midnight. She could see the water glinting in the well from afar but it was not vivid, and all she knew was there was a light in it. Once, she had attempted to force herself into the water to reach the light. Yet, everytime when she probed it by force, the light would shatter and its shape would be distorted.

Moments after she withdrew in panic, the light would be restored as the water became still once again, and the gleam remained bright and mysterious.

Whenever she tried to probe the light, it would shatter, and this repeated again and again.

Anna knew she must have been through a horrible catastrophe in the past. Though she could not remember anything, there was a weird feeling that lingered in her heart.

She was clueless about the reason she lost the memories for that period. Jordan once revealed bits and pieces of her past, and he claimed that her subconscious had chosen to forget those things as a means to protect herself after experiencing too much trauma.

As a result of her profound and painful past, Anna had suffered severe mental illnesses.
