Chapter 209
George glanced at the increasingly heavy rain outside and said reluctantly. “Who knows how long this rain will last? Let him stay for another two days until it stops.”
“Yeah, that young man looks very ill. It could be dangerous to send him away hastily,” Layla
a also echoed
Amy held her son’s hand while watching the heavy rain outside, her face reflecting an indescribable emotion.
It was the first time she had seen such rain since she came here.
Their cabin was situated in a low–lying area. Each time it rained, the river several hundred feet ahead would rise, and the bridge over the river would be temporarily submerged.
Moreover, this was the only way out of here.

Amy looked down at the little boy’s confused expression, her heart filled with mixed emotions. It seemed that fate was h Amy nodded. “All right, let him leave once the rain stops.”
Anthony appeared in the living room after taking his medicine, Without his memory, he no longer appeared rebellious. He now looked like an innocent boy.
He nodded and thanked them, “Thank you for saving me

“We’re

George and Layla looked at Amy, waiting for her to speak.

“It’s raining heavily now, and the way out has been flooded. You can leave after it stops,” Amy said, keeping her gaze on her son. way she could conceal the emotions in her eyes.
Anthony’s eyes flashed with joy, and he immediately thanked her, “Okay. Thank you”
He looked at Amy’s side face as she glanced down and felt something stir in his heart.
Suddenly, the little boy, who had been holding Amy’s hand to learn to walk, let go and took two unsteady steps forward. He said in a vague voice to Anthony, “Daddy”
Everyone present was startled for a moment.
The little one would be one year old in two days, and they had never heard him speak before. Even if they patiently taught him to say “Mommy,” he never uttered a word. But now, unexpectedly, he called out “Daddy” to Anthony.
Anthony looked at the little in front of him. The boy was chubby and flushed, revealing his tiny lower teeth when he smiled.
Anthony couldn’t resist feeling close to the little one in his heart, so he crouched down and waved at the child.
The little boy couldn’t walk, just stood there giggling. Suddenly, he called out again. “Daddy”
His childish voice melted Anthony’s heart. Just as he was about to take two steps forward to pick up the little one, Amy snapped out of her shock and held her son in her arms.
She looked at Anthony with alertness. “Mister, the child is insensible. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Anthony stood up and smiled. “It doesn’t matter. He’s so cute”
Then, he looked around and asked curiously, “Why haven’t I seen his father for so long?!”
Amy’s expression froze for a moment. She turned to look at Anthony, trying to find some clues.
Anthony didn’t understand why she kept scrutinizing him like that, but he genuinely had no ill intentions in asking.
Seeing that she was reluctant to respond, he quickly spoke up. “I’m not prying into anything, just curious. If you don’t want to answer, it’s fine.” “His father passed away” Amy said as soon as Anthony finished speaking.

Anthony’s expression froze, and he apologized. T’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up your sadness”
Amy didn’t want to stay with Anthony any longer and decided to leave while holding the child. But the little one, who was usually obedient, couldn’t be comforted today. He kept calling out, “Daddy.”
Amy was afraid that Anthony would notice something wrong, so she slapped her son on his buttocks. Suddenly, the child cried even more fiercely. He forgot to call out “Daddy,” but he felt aggrieved.
Amy carried her son back to his room
In the living room, Anthony didn’t understand why Amy was so repulsive to him. He clearly didn’t do anything excessive.
e and Layla also felt embarrassed and explained awkwardly, “Young man, please don’t mind. Amy isn’t usually like this.”
George
“It doesn’t matter, Anthony said.
“You can stay here for a few days. The river ahead might not recede immediately if it floods, George said.
“Okay, thank you,” Anthony said gratefully.
Layla took out George’s clothes and handed them to Anthony. These are new clothes I made for my husband. If you don’t mind, into them.
Anthony took the clothes and said, “Thank you.”
Layla smiled and then asked, “What’s your name, young man! We can’t keep calling you young man these days.”
v name!
Hearing this Anthony scratched his head. “I don’t remember my
you can change
“What?” George and Layla were surprised.
Anthony explained, “I only remember that Ms. Hart saved me. I can’t recall anything else.”
George and Layla looked at Anthony with sympathy. He seemed clean and didn’t have the aura of a fugitive like those from the borderlands, so they assumed his injuries were also caused by those people,
“It must be a head injury, poor thing, they said sympathetically, “Young man, you can rest easy. Although our cabin is simple and shabby, most people cannot find it here.”
Anthony nodded.
George and Layla were concerned about the little one, so they went to find Amy
In the living room, Anthony could still hear them talking as they walked away. This young man is really handsome. His face is even more delicate than a girl’s, and he seems to match well with Amy, one of them said.
“It’s a pity that he lost his memory. Otherwise, we could have asked about his job. If it weren’t for those criminals, maybe we could have set him up with Amy,” another one said.
“Yeah, Amy is raising the child alone. If we’re not around in the future, how will she survive in this tough place!” Their voices faded away as they moved farther.
Anthony had an indescribable feeling. Hearing that George and Layla wanted to set him up with Amy, he was looking forward to it in his heart as if this was something he had waited for a long time. Plus, there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he couldn’t leave.
His mind was swirling with intense thoughts, and just as he was about to grasp the truth, a sharp pain erupted deep within his head, making it difficult for him to even stand
His heart reacted with pain, intensifying as he collapsed and accidentally knocked over a coffee mug from the table.
Inside the room, Amy heard the commotion, and her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly handed the calm little one to Layla and then ran to the living room
