"Who is it?"
"The old madam of the Bell Group—Caleb Bell’s grandmother. As far as I know, she’s the highest-ranking figure in the Ayers Group. Given... given the connection between Sumr Lancaster and Caleb Bell, I think he’ll help..." Dominic Thorne’s words were cut short by Kenneth Yates’s sharp glare.
This struck a nerve with Kenneth Yates. Why did it have to be Caleb Bell? The man’s intentions were obvious—he was in love with Sumr Lancaster. What would happen if he pushed Sumr toward him now? What’s more, Kenneth had no idea what Asher had said to Sumr to make her turn out this way.
"Boss... I’ll do so more digging!"
"Don’t bother. We’ll go find Caleb Bell tomorrow." Kenneth Yates’s eyes were resolute. He had to put these romantic entanglents aside for now. He would save Sumr Lancaster, no matter the cost. ’Even if it ans losing her!’
"Huh? Really? You don’t mind?" Dominic Thorne was stunned. He hadn’t expected Kenneth Yates to agree so readily. He’d figured Kenneth would search the ends of the earth for a Wizard before he ever went to Caleb Bell.
"Either way, I’m going!" Kenneth Yates glanced at Sumr Lancaster, who was sound asleep beside him. Her cheeks were still flushed, making her look adorable, but they were utterly lifeless. ’This isn’t what I wanted to see,’ he thought. ’I promised I would protect her...’
It was noon by the ti Kenneth Yates and Sumr Lancaster got ho. Sumr was still in a trance, her eyes lifeless, and she wouldn’t say a word. Kenneth simply ordered takeout for them, then settled her down to sleep. Sumr was as docile as a doll, letting him arrange her as he pleased.
Kenneth Yates went into his study, put on his glasses, and started researching on his computer. It seed there had always been rumors circulating about the Brown Family, but no one could offer a definitive explanation. As for what kind of curse Asher had placed on Sumr Lancaster, no one knew.
That afternoon, lody Donovan rushed over to Kenneth Yates’s place in a panic. "Sumr! What on earth happened to Sumr?!" lody ran upstairs impatiently, questioning Kenneth breathlessly. She had heard from Dominic Thorne that their trip had been disastrous, especially for Sumr, who had apparently suffered so kind of inhuman tornt. But Dominic hadn’t told lody what exactly had happened, so she’d just hung up on him. He was just spouting pleasantries anyway, so she figured it was pointless to keep talking.
Kenneth Yates was a little surprised by lody Donovan’s arrival. He hadn’t planned on telling anyone, since it would only make them worry unnecessarily. Besides, there was nothing they could do to change the situation.
"Calm down. She’ll be okay. Soone placed a curse on her, so her mind is a little clouded. But rest assured, I’ll do everything in my power to cure her..."
"What do you an, ’her mind is a little clouded’? Don’t tell Sumr... lost her mory?" A terrifying thought struck lody, and the more she considered it, the more frightened she beca. ’How could a trip to Aris end up like this?’
"If only it were just amnesia..." Kenneth Yates muttered, walking over to the window. ’If she’d only lost her mory, he was confident he could make Sumr Lancaster fall for him all over again. But in her current state, he was completely powerless.’
After seeing Sumr Lancaster’s condition, lody Donovan began to wail hysterically, crying enough tears to flood the bedroom. She couldn’t bear that her best friend didn’t recognize her, wouldn’t even look at her, and wouldn’t say a single word to her.
Kenneth Yates had no idea what to do with lody Donovan. Her hysterics would disturb Sumr Lancaster, so he called Dominic Thorne and told him to co pick her up.
