Vivienne gazed deeply into the eyes of her mother, whom she had waited over ten years to reunite with. There was an undeniable reluctance to let go.

Memories, after all, weren't everything. If they couldn't be retrieved, then so be it.

Karen ruffled Vivienne's hair affectionately. "Frost, I believe in you. You're my pride and joy in this world, and nothing will ever pose an obstacle in your way. You're my treasure, and whatever you set your mind to, you'll surely succeed."

She knew her daughter all too well.

Vivienne didn't want to lose her; she didn't want to be cast into the world as an orphan again.

Indeed, those lost memories weren't crucial.

She now knew how she had vanished and had been reunited with her biological father. Whether her memories returned or not wasn't important.

When F-Poison had abducted her from the Perez family, Diana hadn't even seen his true face.

At Scepter University, the white-haired old man who knew F-Poison had only seen Elliot's face. Flynn might know, but he would never tell.

Thus, in this entire world, Karen was the only one who might have seen F-Poison's real face.

And those lost memories? They needed to be recovered at all costs.

Vivienne bit her lower lip pensively. "I only have one chance."

One opportunity: success meant jubilation; failure meant no second chances.

Karen smiled reassuringly. "I know, but I'm not going to die. Your mentor has seen it in the cards - I'm going to live to be two hundred!"

Vivienne knew her mother was jesting, but it helped ease her tension slightly.

Karen continued, "I must recover that part of my memory, so rest assured, nothing will happen to me. And my dear daughter, when have you ever faced defeat?"

Holding Vivienne's hand tightly, Karen said, "Go ahead with confidence. No matter what happens, I'm here for you."
