Chapter 208
After a while, Anthony finally woke up. His mind was blank, blood flowing from his forehead, and his heart was in constant pain. He looked around blankly and saw a deserted place with lush vegetation, and the car he was in was severely deformed. Several people around were unconscious, and when he observed carefully, he found that except for the driver, who died after being pierced by a branch obliquely, the others probably were still alive
Anthony couldn’t remember why he was there. He wanted to wake others up and ask, but no matter how hard he pushed them, the others didn’t respond. The pain in his heart was getting more intense, and the uneasiness was getting bigger. He could only leave first to see if there was anyone around to help him.
After struggling to get out of the car, he picked a random direction and staggered forward. Due to the lush vegetation, he couldn’t tell the direction and could only hope he was lucky to be on the right track. The pain in his heart was getting worse. The blood on his forehead had dripped onto his clothes, and the view before him gradually blurred.
Finally, when his legs could no longer move, a path appeared ahead, and he collapsed straight to the ground. Before he fainted, he seemed to see a woman with a child on her back. The woman wore a long white dress with a veil on her face, seemingly having a halo around her.
An hour later, Hunk finally woke up. After getting rid of the dizziness in his mind, he hurriedly looked for Anthony but couldn’t find him after searching everywhere. Feeling dread, he wondered if Anthony was captured by those people. He wanted to contact William for help with his phone. but there was no signal at all in such a remote place. Hence, he could only first rescue the others who were still alive and then try to find Anthony. Meanwhile, in a cabin in the canyon, an elderly couple returned from collecting herbs and handed them to a woman. One of them said, “Amy, here are the herbs you wanted. Check if they’re the right ones”
The woman’s name was Amy Hart, who wore a veil all year round. She briefly looked at the herbs and smiled at them. “Yes. Thanks for finding them. Mom, Dad.”
When Amy went to make herbal medicine, the elderly couple helped to look after the sleeping child in the cradle. After preparing the medicine, Amy put it in a bowl and carried it into a room. Anthony was sleeping on a small bed in the room. His face appeared attractive, and the mole at the comer of his eye looked eye–catching.
Amy put the medicine on the bedside and looked at him indifferently. A gust of wind blew through the window, lifting her veil. Her face under it was extremely beautiful, but there was a scar on her right face, which looked particularly noticeable. She covered the veil to prevent it from lifting too high
The wind also woke Anthony up slowly as he looked at the unfamiliar roof. There was no sharpness in his eyes, only confusion. Not expecting him to wake up so soon, Amy got startled and hurriedly lowered her head.
Anthony saw Amy beside the bed. “Who are you? Where am I?”
He recalled his memories and suddenly remembered. “It was you
Amy was shocked and looked up at him with her body tensed.
Anthony continued, “You saved me, didn’t you?”
Widening her eyes, Amy slowly relaxed and then nodded. She kept observing Anthony’s expression and didn’t dare to make noises. “Thank you,” Anthony said politely, appearing calm.
“Feeling her heart pounding, Amy stared at Anthony’s expression as if she was investigating something. Seeing the stare, Anthony scratched his head awkwardly and said, “I don’t know why, but all I can think about now is you saving me just now, I can’t remember anything else, not even my
name.
Amy looked at him in surprise, her eyes full of questions. Finally, she plucked up the courage to ask, “You really can’t remember?” Anthony nodded. “Can you help me find out who I am and contact my family?”
Amy’s heart beat faster. She shook her head under Anthony’s hopeful gaze and refused, “Sorry, I can’t help you. Here’s a medicine for you’re awake, please leave after taking it.”

you.
Now that
She got up and prepared to leave, but Anthony grabbed her hand and pleaded. I only know you now, and I don’t know where to go if I leave here.” Amy jumped away in shock and clenched her hands tightly. She stepped back far, keeping a safe distance from Anthony. “Please be respectful, sir. This is your matter, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I only saved you out of goodwill, so please don’t make me regret my act of kindness today.

Chapter 208
Anthony’s hand froze in mid–air as he looked at Amy, who avoided him like a plague. Although feeling confused, he quickly apologized. “I’m sorry. I meant no harm. I was out of line”
He withdrew his hand with disappointment on his face. Amy ran away nervously for fear of being exposed.
Just then, the sky was covered with dark clouds with raindrops falling Amy walked to her son’s cradle, seeing the child had woken holding the old lady’s hand to learn to walk, looking adorable when he swayed. The elderly couple adored the child very much, and a touched up and was smile appeared on Amy’s face when she looked at the scene.
Although she called the couple “Dad” and “Mom,” she was not their biological daughter, as she came here just over a year ago. The two were locals who had a daughter when they were young, and they lived at the border, where various forces were entrenched. If one were careless, their life would be in danger, and with that said, their daughter lost her life in a riot.
After that, the two had no more children. During their daughter’s death anniversary every year, they would go to the river where their daughter died to stay there for a day, and it was at that time they found Amy, who was dying. Back then, Amy wanted to break with her past, so she didn’t tell the couple her real name and randomly picked “Amy Hart” as her name. To her surprise, the name was coincidentally the same as their daughter’s.
At that time, she was disheartened and had no pursuit of life. If it weren’t for the baby in her belly later, she might not have cheered up. The elderly couple regarded Amy as their daughter and took care of her carefully during her pregnancy and confinement. Later on, she simply recognized them as her parents.
Amy smilingly approached and took the child from her adoptive:
ve mother, Layla Hart. “Mom, let me do it. You have a poor waist, you can’t bend over for a long time.”
Layla let go of the child and hammered her waist. “Genting older does make me less useful.
Amy’s adoptive father, George Hart, massaged Layla’s waist and asked Amy casually, “How is that young man“”
Amy paused while holding her child’s hand and then replied nonchalantly, “He has woken up and probably would leave soon.
