Chapter 794
They were probably not well acquainted with each other since they had only met once.
Ashlyn nodded and replied, “In a car accident.”
Even after so many years, she had always believed that her mother was still alive, living in a different place
somewhere out there.
She was sure that her mother had a reason for never coming back in search of her.
Just like the information she had gathered thus far, she went missing while Alice was sold.
Ashlyn was determined to find her mother.
I must locate her! I must resolve the mystery and discover the truth. I need to know what happened back then.
Also, where is my sister? How is she after all these years? Is she alive or dead?
She refused to believe that two people could vanish into thin air without rhyme or reason.
Nicholas tried very hard to suppress his emotions. With trembling hands, he held the photo and shut his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt's her! It's really her! She was that woman in the past. Yes, she was! If that's the case, then this girl in front of me
must be her daughter. It's been such a long time; her daughter's all grown up now. As for me... I've been waiting for
her my entire life.
At that moment, an indescribable surge of sadness and distress welled up within him.
When he heard Ashlyn confirm Alice's death, his heart throbbed dully. An immense sorrow and grief washed over
him, consuming him to the extent that he felt so suffocated.
This is so painful. I can't breathe...
His eyes reddened as a petrifying look crept up on his face. “Kiddo...”
He had a lot to say but uttered nothing in the end.
Holding the photo, he was devastated to the point of going through a mental breakdown.
That talented woman was just like how he remembered her: beautiful, stunning, and elegant.
However, she was no longer living in that world. Nicholas found it hard to believe the ending he obtained after all
those years of waiting and searching.
Caleb scrutinized his expression. He had never seen his ever-so-composed brother reveal such an emotion.
This is far too strange! It's absolutely peculiar!
“What's the matter with you, Nicholas?”
“Nothing. I got all excited to see the daughter of an old friend,” Nicholas answered with a hoarse voice. Then, he
turned to Greg. “Sir, could you gift this photo to me?”
Greg was rather reluctant to part with it. “Mr. Powell, the lady in the picture was my former school physician. She
took care of me really well, so I cherished this photo a lot.”
Then, he turned to Ashlyn. “Ms. Berry, I rushed all the way to Maredania with only one objective in mind. I wanted
to verify if you were the young girl in the photo.”
Ashlyn nodded and answered, “Yes, it's me. So... Is this the reason why you looked for me? You did not come to me
for nothing, right?”
Her expression was a little dazed. “Back then... when I found out that my mother had passed away, I was totally
devastated. Horace never treated me well. It was you who helped me through the difficult times by giving me food

on my own two feet.”
She paused before continuing, “Director Maxwell, you're a kindhearted man. A good person like you shouldn't be
oppressed or humiliated. Your talents should be seen by the world!”
“Thank you, Ms. Berry.” No words could describe how touched Greg was as he gazed at her.
He never expected his little actions back then would lead to the biggest turning point in his life years later.
Meanwhile, Lucas was displeased. “How come you only remember Greg but not me?”
He was very annoyed that she had completely forgotten about the episode where she saved him in the countryside.
It was as though that part of her memory was erased from her mind.
That was how we first met. Why did she forget about it?
Ashlyn shook her head and explained, “I have no idea as well. It seems like there are missing pieces in my
memory.”
She did find it very strange because she had an impressive memory. It was almost photographic.
Why is it that I just can't recall the part when Lucas and I met? Did I save him? I really don't know.
Nicholas had a graceful smile on his face as he looked at her benevolently and dotingly. “Kiddo, if you don't mind,
could I hear you call me?”
