Chapter 435
They shared a bed for years, being honest with each other and deeply connected. There was no way she would mistake someone else for her man.
If she had doubts earlier because the distance on the second floor made it hard to see clearly, those doubts vanished completely when she came to the first floor and observed his features up close.
She was sure that this was her husband, Norman.
“Speak up,” she said. “Why did you lie to me? Norman, do you know how I’ve been through life all these years? Not only do I have to face your death, but I also have to take care of our child who is wrapped in swaddling blankets You’re clearly still alive. Why didn’t you come back to look for me? Don’t you feel sorry for me at all? Even if you don’t love me anymore, what about Britney? She’s your flesh and blood. How can you bear to abandon her?”
Toward the last part of her remark, she was practically shouting.
Cody frowned.
He thought, I’m certain I don’t know
this woman. As for the claim about flesh and blood, that’s even more absurd.
I’ve indeed become a father, and I have a daughter, but she is delivered by my wife!
“Ma’am, you might have mistaken someone else for me,” Cody said. “I’m sorry. My name is not Normie, and I’m
not your old friend. Please move aside.”
When Harriet heard this, she became even more worked up.
She stared into his eyes intently, trying to catch the past affection in those dark eyes.
She thought, ‘There’s no way I could have mistaken someone else for him. His appearance and vibe are exactly like Norman’s. Apart from the difference in clothing style, every part of him exudes a profound sense of familiarity. He must be Norman. I trust my intuition. Yet, to my disappointment, his eyes show only indifference and a sense of distance. Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, when has my Norman ever treated me so coldly?”
“Did you lose your memory?” she asked.
Other than this explanation, she could not come up with other reasons to convince herself.
‘There’s no way the man who loved me so deeply in the past would completely forget about me, she thought.
Facing her endless questioning, a trace of impatience flashed across Cody’s eyes.
He lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist. He then looked up at Jason and said, “Mr. Wilson, since
you have personal matters to deal with, let’s talk another day.”

With that said, he immediately ignored the desolate and sorrowful face in front of him, turning around to walk out.
There was no way Harriet would let him go.
After rushing forward to block his path, she said with teary eyes, “Answer me. Did you lose your memory?”
Cody said nothing. He raised his head and glanced at the door.
The next moment, two bodyguards in black attire rushed over. One on the left and one on the right, each grabbed Harriet’s arms, dragging her to the side.
Not even sparing her a glance, Cody walked away again toward the outside.
Looking at his back which had a sense of coldness and firm determination, Harriet shouted at the top of her lungs, “Norman, your daughter’s life hangs in the balance now. If you don’t properly investigate what happened five years ago, you will regret it someday. You will regret it.”
Cody’s footsteps seemed to have paused for a moment, but his departing figure remained resolute.
After watching him get into the car, the two bodyguards apologized to Harriet and let her go.
After regaining her freedom, Harriet rushed forward again. But after running for a few feet, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
She abruptly stopped in her tracks and took out her phone. It was a call from Britney’s top–tier caregiver.
Not daring to hold things up, she quickly swiped the answer button.
“Sarah, what’s wrong?”
“Ms. Murray, hurry up and come to the hospital,” Sarah said. “The specialist said your daughter’s condition has worsened.”
Harriet staggered two steps backward, her face showing signs of panic.
“I, I’ll be right there,” she said. “I’ll be right there.”
Noticing that Harriet’s state of mind was off, Sophia hurriedly pushed away the man who was supporting her and walked briskly up to Harriet.
“What’s wrong, Harriet?” she asked.
When Harriet saw her, she looked as if she had grabbed onto a lifeline. “Sophia, please contact the miracle doctor,” she said. “Britney is in critical condition.”

Sophia immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her to stride outside.
Harriet was forced to follow. Not forgetting to remind her, she said, “Hurry up and contact the miracle do you delay any longer, it will be too late.”
Sophia glanced at her and enunciated each word as she said, “I am Linda.”
