“Jackson, based on your opinion, are you sure that Arthur won’t experience any side effects after taking the drug?”
“I just met Young Master Weiss, and I noticed that he has recovered by leaps in terms of his emotional response. It seems like the drug would wear out after a certain period. I’d suggest stimulating his emotional needs so that he’s able to heal by himself.”
“How do we achieve that?”
“I’d suggest Young Master Weiss go on a trip with his wife. I’m sure that he would fully reveal his feelings in front of the woman that he loves.”
Hearing that, Martha sighed as she realized that Sophia was an angel sent by the heavens to save her grandchild. If not, he would have fallen into the Jennings Family’s hands.
“Alright, I’ll make the necessary arrangements. I’ll write a referral letter and refer you to some other biological research institute and take care of your
job arrangements.”
“Thank you, Old Madam.”
After seeing Jackson off, she touched her forehead and sighed. She then looked at the butler and said, “Prepare a feast for tonight as I’d like to invite Mr. Lloyd as well as Mr. and Mrs. Presgrave over to dinner as a token of appreciation.”
That evening, all of them received Martha’s dinner invitation.
In one of the living rooms within the manor, Sophia was rubbing her feet after wearing high heels for the whole day. Since she wasn’t used to wearing it, the friction between her feet and heels caused by too much walking had created a red patch even though the heels were of her size.
“What’s wrong?” Arthur asked. She immediately stood up and shook her head shyly. “Nothing.” She was scared that he would want to examine her feet if she said that they were hurt. However, the observant Arthur could tell that she was lying.
He walked toward her and kneeled to cheek her foot. “Did you hurt your feet? Let me have a look.”
“Stop… Stop looking.” She retracted them.
When he noticed how red her feet were from wearing the heels, he looked up and said, “Let me know next time when your foot hurts. Don’t keep it to yourself.” After that, he got one of the servants to get him some ointment before he personally applied it on her foot.
The cooling menthol helped to relieve the pain, and he applied the ointment so gently that it felt nice.
“Alright, this will do,” she told him.
“Let’s go to my room. There’s something I need to discuss with you.” He stood up and led her there.
As she stood in his room with an industrial interior, she felt calm as she looked out at the nice view. She felt contentment and happiness as she no longer had to worry about having to leave him.
Sophia thought of informing her parents that she was getting married tomorrow, but she was worried that her parents would get the wrong idea. In the end, she put the idea off as the journey between both countries was far. She would proceed with the wedding and seek forgiveness from her parents later on.
As she was in a daze, Arthur suddenly pulled her into his arms and brushed his nose gently against her neck, making her blush. Even though he had lost his memories, his actions seemed to be his old self like a puppy that constantly stuck around her.
“My wife smells nice.” He praised her after taking a sniff.
