At the sa ti, in Kyle Keaton’s private villa in Esteria—
Kyle Keaton felt a sharp pain in his heart in his sleep, forcing him to wake up.
"Lord Keaton, what’s wrong?"
Thomas Grant saw him awake and hurried forward.
Kyle Keaton was still gasping for breath, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I’m fine. It’s just..."
It’s just that it feels like sothing important in life has quietly slipped away.
But after thinking for a long ti, he couldn’t figure out what it was.
"Why am I here?"
Looking around, it was indeed his bedroom.
But there was an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.
"You were drunk yesterday, and I brought you back. Did you forget?"
Thomas Grant replied nervously.
Although Miss Quinn and Liam Monroe kept emphasizing that Kyle Keaton would definitely not rember anything that happened in Westmarch, Thomas Grant still felt a bit uneasy.
Kyle Keaton had actually been to Westmarch, how could he completely forget all that?
So he couldn’t help but worry about being discovered by Kyle Keaton for lying, fearing suspicion of his loyalty.
"Drunk? How did I get drunk yesterday?"
Kyle Keaton tried hard to recall what happened yesterday, but couldn’t rember a thing.
"Yesterday the old folks from The White Family were pressuring you to marry again, so you went to the bar to drink because you were upset. Later you got drunk and called to pick you up."
Thomas Grant’s answer was half true.
The day before Kyle Keaton left Esteria, he was indeed pressured to marry by those old folks from The White Family, and then drank in frustration, deciding the next day to head off to Westmarch once sober.
But that wasn’t yesterday, it happened more than half a year ago.
"Really?"
Kyle Keaton thought carefully, indeed sothing about being pressured to marry had happened.
But why did it feel, like the mory is sowhat distant?
He picked up his phone, frowning at the date displayed on it.
"What’s with this date? Did I set it wrong?"
Thomas Grant quickly leaned forward: "No, it’s correct."
But he quickly realized that Lord Keaton’s mory might still be stuck half a year ago.
He hurriedly added, "Do you feel like soone stole half a year of your mory? I sotis feel the sa way when I wake up after a hangover."
Kyle Keaton: "...
"
He felt like Thomas Grant was pulling his leg, but without evidence,
after pondering for a long ti, he couldn’t rember anything, so he simply went into the bathroom to take a hot shower...
Watching Kyle Keaton’s back as he entered the bathroom, Thomas Grant breathed a sigh of relief.
"He really did forget. Thank goodness!"
But aside from relief, Thomas Grant couldn’t help but worry about July Quinn over there.
"I wonder how Miss Quinn is doing now...
"

It had been twenty minutes since July Quinn was declared dead.
But Liam Monroe still hadn’t given up on trying to save her, continually applying various life-saving devices to her.
"July, you can’t just leave like this."
"You promised , you’d go to Esteria with for revenge, how can you just leave like this?"
Seeing yet another device failing to take effect, Liam Monroe was near collapse.
July Quinn’s attending doctor, along with the dical staff involved in the surgery, all stepped forward to stop Liam Monroe.
"Mr. Monroe, please be at peace. Dead people cannot co back to life...
"
"Don’t talk nonsense, she’s not dead yet!"
Disregarding the obstacles, Liam Monroe again tried another life-saving device, but July Quinn still kept her eyes closed, with no sign of a heartbeat returning on the ECG.
"Mr. Monroe, just let Miss Quinn go peacefully."
The attending doctor advised once more.
Liam Monroe pushed him aside: "Why? She hasn’t fulfilled her promise, why should she leave peacefully?"
Saying this, Liam Monroe recalled the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill in his pocket...
