Ashley Shaw was silent for a few seconds, unable to find her voice.
She was too stunned.
Is Warren Prescott really just suffering from amnesia and hasn’t lost his mind entirely?
Otherwise, given Warren Prescott’s past temperant, how could he be the first to apologize to her without any mistake?
If he didn’t expect her to apologize, it would be an auspicious day indeed.
"Are you...alright?" What she wanted to ask was whether his mind was okay.
Warren Prescott thought Ashley Shaw was afraid he was angry.
After all, anyone would naturally feel uncomfortable being inexplicably scolded out of the blue.
He chuckled, "Why would I be angry? Didn’t I cause the misunderstanding? If anyone should be angry, it’s you."
"..." Ashley Shaw was utterly shocked.
She even darkly thought, could those two from the Prescott Family have done sothing, like hiring soone to undergo plastic surgery to look like Warren Prescott? Maybe the current Warren Prescott isn’t the real one but a doppelganger.
Even Assistant Lowell standing nearby was very shocked.
Mr. Prescott Jr.’s personality has truly changed, he’s beco like a normal person.
But this is a good thing.
Misunderstandings should indeed be explained imdiately!
Moreover, a real man should apologize even if the other party is at fault.
Not bad, not bad.
"Why aren’t you speaking?" Warren Prescott asked her, "Are you still angry?"
"No...I’m not angry."
Warren Prescott clearly breathed a sigh of relief, "Good, as long as you’re not angry. By the way, I heard from Mark that you’re studying now. Which school are you attending?"
Ashley Shaw’s expression froze montarily.
If the non-amnesiac Warren Prescott asked this, she really would have found it hard to answer.
Because she had lied to him.
But now, instead, it was easier to explain.
"At Aethelgard dical University."
"It’s not far from the school. If I’m free, can I co see you?"
Ashley Shaw found herself stunned again.
Before she could respond, Warren Prescott added, "The doctor said that interacting more with familiar people helps with mory recovery. When I saw you in the ergency room, you seed familiar to , so I want to spend more ti with you."
Assistant Lowell nodded from the side: Yes, that’s a reasonable suggestion.
Then Ashley Shaw paused for two seconds before speaking, "I have to start military training in the evening, so I might not have ti to see you. I can co visit you when I have ti. By the way, I have a friend you also know, I can bring her to et you."
This friend, of course, was Ariana Grant.
Even though she wasn’t very close to Warren, she was at least an acquaintance, so eting might help with the condition.
Ashley Shaw was entirely considering Warren’s "condition," but Warren had his own reasons.
Of course, he wasn’t interested in having a third wheel.
But it wasn’t polite to say it outright, so he rely said, "Okay."
On Ashley’s end, she saw Claire Xavier walking over from afar and said to Warren in the video call, "I have sothing to do, I’ll hang up first. Take care of yourself."
"Alright."
Ashley nodded and ended the video call.
But her mind still felt... incredibly overwheld.
If Assistant Lowell hadn’t told her beforehand that Warren Prescott had lost his mory, she really would have suspected he had been replaced.
anwhile, in the hospital room, a faint smile appeared on Warren Prescott’s face.
Turning his head, he saw Assistant Lowell with a ghostly expression and couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you looking at like that?"
Assistant Lowell tried to close his gaping mouth, saying, "N-no...I was just surprised..."
"Surprised at what?"
"Surprised...at how you used to be."
Warren Prescott grew curious about himself, "What was I like in the past?"
Carefully choosing his words, Assistant Lowell said, "In the past...you were quite the straight-shooter."
"A straight-shooter? What does that an?"
"In situations like today, you definitely wouldn’t have apologized so quickly."
"Why is that? If you’re wrong, you should apologize."
"But truthfully speaking, today it was Miss Shaw who was wrong, and she should be the one to apologize."
"She didn’t know, how can you bla soone for ignorance?"
Assistant Lowell found himself caught in Warren’s reasoning.
Scratching his head, he said, "Well, in the past, even if you were wrong, you absolutely wouldn’t apologize."
Warren’s handso eyebrows furrowed deeply.
Was his past personality really that terrible?
Admitting mistakes and correcting them is sothing taught in kindergarten; how could he have been that kind of person?
Suddenly, he sowhat understood why he couldn’t win over Ashley Shaw.
Clearly, when he looked in the mirror, he thought he was quite handso.
Warren crossed his legs and decided to ask more directly.
"How did I interact with Ashley Shaw before? What happened between us? How are things now?"
Assistant Lowell found the current Warren much more human, so he had bolder, pulling up a chair and explaining everything to Warren.
"In the past, you and Miss Shaw were like water and fire... But whenever she was in trouble, you were always the first to rush to her side. Although you didn’t say it out loud, you did a lot for her behind the scenes."
Warren listened, his brow furrowing tighter, "Why would I like her yet be like water and fire with her?"
"That goes back to the past... But I only know what I’ve heard because I’ve been only following you for less than four months..."
Like a storyteller, Assistant Lowell knew how to pique people’s curiosity.
Warren, however, lacked such patience, glaring with an intensity that made Assistant Lowell feel as if the old Warren was back, scared to beat around the bush any longer.
"Actually, it was because you had so misunderstandings with her before."
After explaining the general situation, Warren’s brow furrowed even more deeply.
What a ss...
Misunderstanding soone for so many years without understanding the situation.
Even if Ashley Shaw had pushed, so what?
Back then, everyone was young, and it was normal to have a physical altercation over a disagreent.
Why would such a small incident lead to years of bullying?
That Rosalind Lynch is just vile! Yet he protected such a vile woman for years... Fortunately, he eventually saw her true colors.
And he was really foolish too.
When she liked him before, he was indifferent.
Now that she doesn’t like him, he keeps clinging on.
Warren closed his eyes, thinking he truly was a coward.
If he genuinely liked her, why not pursue her directly?
Such convolutions, no wonder she didn’t like him!
Feeling frustrated with himself, Warren couldn’t understand why his past self had such a stubborn personality.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Do my parents have a bad relationship?"
Other than that, he couldn’t think of why he developed such an odd personality.
Assistant Lowell choked up internally, instinctively deflecting, "No, Chairman Prescott and Mrs. Prescott have a very harmonious relationship."
But Warren was suffering from amnesia, not foolishness.
Assistant Lowell was lying, and Warren could see it right away.
Anyone could see through his shifty eyes, unable to et Warren’s gaze, and be labeled foolish if they didn’t.
