Chapter 216

Deathly silence greeted Anthony when he stepped into the factory.

He bristled when he sensed danger, but before he could turn around, he was ambushed from behind and struck

on the head.

Anthony’s vision went black.

Fractured images flurried through Anthony’s mind while he was unconscious, as though trying to make up the full picture of the three years he had lost.

He saw fragments of the past and the people who had come and gone in his life.

He felt like he was being torn apart.

The ache in his heart spread through his body, and sadness overwhelmed him as his feelings for a certain woman grew convoluted.

He saw a depthless sea at night.

He saw the cold, flickering lights that were dwarfed by the fireworks overhead.

The person he was looking for had disappeared. The ring was still with him.

They told him that the person had fallen into the sea and died.

The dull roar of the ocean filled Anthony’s ears. As he stood on the swaying deck and the salty sea breeze enveloped him, he went mad.

Just then, a huge wave crested and tipped the cruise ship.

Anthony wanted to be swept away by the waves and swallowed by the dark ocean.

At least then he could see her.

However, the moment the waters rose to claim him, he felt himself hauled upward.

Anthony regained consciousness and felt the dampness on his face.

He was in a quiet room, but he could hear loud bickering going on outside.

“What happened? How did he pass out in a car in the countryside?” Quincey demanded hysterically. “Didn’t he take his medicine? Where is it?”

“Mrs. Hoffman, the doctor said Mr. Hoffman shouldn’t be taking unprescribed medication after suffering a head injury,” said Daniel patiently.

“What? That medicine was imported! It’s supposed to be good for Anthony!” Quincey yelled.

“All right, Mrs. Hoffman. I’ll have Mr. Hoffman take the medicine after he comes to.” Daniel comforted Quincey quietly, “You should go back. I can take care of things here, but I won’t be able to come and go as I like, so be

careful.”

Daniel returned to the hospital room after seeing Quincey off and saw that Anthony was already awake.

“Mr. Hoffman,” Daniel greeted in surprise, holding Anthony’s medicine.

Anthony narrowed his eyes at the medicine Daniel was holding. “How long was I out?”

“About 48 hours, Mr. Hoffman. I tracked your coordinates and found you passed out in your car. I didn’t call the police, as you requested. How are you feeling?” Daniel poured a glass of water and added, “I’ll go get the doctor.”

Anthony’s gaze darkened. “Wait.”

He closed his eyes and cleared his thoughts.

He had realized something when his memories overlapped, like why Genevieve had reappeared suddenly and grown to hate Andrea and Lauraine.

Anthony’s heart tightened as a dull ache seized him. He looked pale. When he opened his eyes again, restrained emotions seemed to crest in his depthless gaze.

“Keep quiet about this. If anyone asks, just say I relapsed and passed out,” Anthony ordered. “Also, did you find Andrea?”

Daniel paused, contemplating his response. “Yes, but…” He hesitated as a strange look crossed his features. “She’s gone mad.”

Anthony frowned and cut Daniel a look as sharp as his jawline.

Daniel took a deep breath and pulled up the footage he had gotten from the police. He explained in a raspy voice, “There were no surveillance cameras along that road, so we don’t know how she got there in the first place. But, there was a functioning surveillance camera on the rooftop of this abandoned building and it managed to capture Andrea’s strange behavior.”
