"Zac --" a shriek came from not far away. Then Leila ran over and, without thinking, jumped into the

lake with him.

The lake in early spring was still cold, and in the evening, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the

water was even colder.

When he saw her, Zac was shocked. "Leila, why are you here?" His lips were slightly blue, and his

voice was also trembling.

Leila's situation was not much better than his. She kept shivering.

"Hurry up." Zac ordered.

"What are you doing in the lake?" Leila asked, trembling.

"I have lost my stuff. It is none of your business. Go up now. I will find it myself." Said Zac with a

determined look. It seemed that it was more important than his own life.

"What is it? My swimming skill is good. Let me help you. " Said Leila. She was good at swimming. In

the University, she was called a mermaid and could hold her breath for as long as five minutes after

she dived into the water.

"…… Barbie doll. " Zac hesitated.

A hint of surprise flashed through Leila's eyes. She didn't ask more but continued to swim.

When she swam a few meters away, she saw the feet in the thick water weeds at the bottom of the

lake. She grabbed it and took the doll out of the water.

When she saw the familiar face of the doll, she felt her body spasm violently. She was so familiar with

the doll. It was his treasure. For a period of time, he often held it in his hands and played with it. Even if

he was laughed at, he didn't care about that. Later he put it in his safe.

She had always wanted to know where the Barbie doll came from and if it was from a girl, but he never

told her.

Why did it come out today? And he even jumped into the lake to look for it. It was hateful.

She had hated the doll from the past, and he treated it better than her.

No one could take Zac away from her, even a Barbie doll.

She thought angrily. She grabbed the doll's head, broke its neck with a snap.

When Zac swam over, she waved the doll to tell him that she had found it and then swam back.

When they were ashore, Leila closed her eyes and fell on the ground. She was not sick. She just

pretended to be sick. Jumped into the lake for her Barbie doll wasn't enough to make him moved. She

needed to act well.

Her consciousness was very clear. She heard that Zac was calling her. He picked her up and ran into

the villa. Then he asked the maid to change her clothes and make some ginger soup to dispel the cold.

She waited for a long time and didn't open her eyes until she heard the familiar footsteps.

"Are you okay, Leila?" Zac sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her.

"I'm fine." She shook her head.

"The lake is too cold. You shouldn't have jumped into it." He sighed slightly.

"I can tell it's important to you, so I didn't think too much. I just want to help you find it." She smiled

weakly and asked deliberately, "I just pulled it out from the weed. Is it broken?"

Zac did not answer. Just a trace of undisguised pain ran over his face. The doll's neck was broken.

Does it meant that he and Essie would never be able to recover?

Leila stretched out her hand from the silk quilt and held his hand. "Zac, do you know how much I love

you? For you, I'm willing to do anything, even to kill myself."

With a bitter smile on his face, Zac said, "Leila, have you ever thought that maybe you don't love me,

but your obsession for me. I love a person so I want her to be happy. I love a person so I learn to let

her go rather than to possess her. " Just like what he had done to Essie. If she didn't love him, he

would let her go and set her free. As long as she was happy, he would take all the pain alone.

"I just gave myself a hope. Love can be developed." She knew what Zac meant. Her marriage was

snatched from other's, but she didn't think it was wrong at all. She was fighting for her own happiness.

Zac shook his head. Some feelings could be developed, and some were destined to be together at the

first sight, just like his feelings for Essie.

"Well, you can have a rest. I'm leaving." He didn't want to say anything more and needed to fix the

Barbie doll.

When he turned around, Leila jumped up from the bed and put her arms around him from behind. She

begged, "Zac, could you please give me a chance? Landis is a star. She only loves your money and

status. Essie had already been with Hanson. She had even given birth to two children for him. They

were a family. Only I love you with all my heart and soul. "

Her words were like a steel rope, tightly binding Zac's deepest wound.

Today, he saw that she was smiling brightly and sweetly to Hanson. They behaved intimately in public.

Their faces looked sweet and happy.

Within just a few days, she completely forgot about him. She really didn't care about him at all. She had

no feelings for him. She just needed and depended on him.

He didn't want to beg her.

There was a mist in his eyes. Behind the mist was a deep pain of injury. He lowered his head sadly,

and his hands fell down powerlessly. In a fit of pique, he turned around, raised his hand and tightly

embraced the person in front of him...

At this time, Essie was having dinner with Hanson at home.

Alice had told him about Alice on the way home. On her way here, she briefly told him what she should

tell him.

"Brother Hanson, you've been abroad for so long. My sister miss you so much." Holy said with a grin.

"I miss your sister as well as my Mili and Dot. But they are in Jiang City and can't be seen now."

Hanson smiled and stroked his head.

"Your children have been three years old, why haven't you got married yet?" Alice looked at them in a

weird look. The complex love between her, Zac and Hanson had totally confused her. Essie divorced

her ex-husband, had babies with her first love, and was with her ex-husband. Was there any woman on

earth more ridiculous than her?

Essie could not help but pause for a while. She knew that her affairs were really quite bumpy and

complicated, so she was not able to explain to her clearly. "We want to go back to the United States to

get married together when Mr. Baron wakes up."

"If daddy can't wake up, won't you get married?" Alice pouted.

"Not really. Now that you're back, the Xu family is also in charge. As long as you recover your memory

as soon as possible, I can leave Dragon City safely with Hanson and the children." Essie said with a

smile.

Alice gave her a meaningful look. "Essie, won't you trust me and take over the Xu's Group to me if I

haven't regained my memory?"

"Our company is in grave danger. We have many enemies. If you don't recover your memory, you won't

understand the stakes." Essie said earnestly. What worried her most was that she might be

brainwashed by the enemy's sweet words and become hostile to her.

"You can just tell me. I will remember who is our enemy and who is our friend." Alice patted Essie on

her shoulder.

"Sis, you don't want to see a doctor, do you want to restore your memory?" Holy curled his lips, thought

it was wrong to avoid the doctor.

Alice heaved a heavy sigh. "Those memories are all bad. It would be even better if I can't remember

them."

There was a hint of sorrow in Essie's eyes. She had to admit that Alice's words struck her heart. It

might be a relief for her to forget the sadness and hatred she had suffered before.

She used to be cold and arrogant. She had sworn that she wouldn't marry anyone and wanted to be

alone for the rest of her life. Now she dared to love someone and wanted to pursue her own happiness.

It was really something worth celebrating.

But they were faced with a formidable foe. She lost her memory and was not a good tempered person.

She might be taken advantage of at any time. Essie was really worried about that.

"Forget it, Sis. I won't force you to do so. From now on, we will work together to protect the Xu's Group

and wait for Mr. Baron to wake up." Essie held Alice's hand.

The corners of Alice's mouth were a bit stiff, but she still struggled to open it and squeezed a smile.

"Okay, you have to help me more in the future," she said. The hidden meaning behind her words was

that she was in charge of the company and her superfluous sister was promoted to assistant.

Hearing that, a smile played on Essie's face. She turned her attention to Hanson and said, "Hanson, I

find that you look thinner. Is it because the food in Europe doesn't suit your taste?" Essie said as she

picked up a chicken leg for Hanson.

"I miss you so much. There is no smell in the food." A smile cracked on Hanson's face, and the look in

his eyes was filled with softness and affection.

"Sister, did you ask Anna to cook the honey chicken drumsticks today? Why is Hanson so sweet? "

Holy teased her.

"Come on, kid! Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Hanson said, stroking his head gently.

"You two should get married as soon as possible, and I can change the title to brother-in-law." Holy

stuck out his tongue at him.

Hanson also thought for a while. He would be relieved only if he got the paper. Otherwise, there would

be a chance for Zac to take away Essie at any time. Last time when they went to the Civil Affairs

Bureau to register, only to find that Essie didn't divorce Zac. Hanson didn't know how long it would take

to get the next chance.

Essie lowered her head and took a sip of the soup without saying anything.

She felt guilty.

He was good, very good, but she could no longer love him.

She wanted to make it clear to him, to let him go to find his true happiness. However, her mother's

words were like a thunderbolt ringing in her ears. His mother was an impulsive person. She could do

anything sometimes. Essie was afraid that something bad would happen to her mother when she was

in anger.

Her mother was the one she loved most and the most important person to her. She could not go

against her and disobey her.

At the same time, a queer light flashed across Alice's eyes. "How about this? You two get engaged first.

Many young masters in Dragon City dream of marrying you. You two are engaged, so that they can

give up this idea. " She had hidden the last part of her words in her heart, and the most important thing

was to make Fell to give up the idea of being with her wholeheartedly.

"Let's talk about it after dad and mom come back. Now grandmother is still in danger, so I'm not in the

mood to care about my personal matter. " With these thoughts in her mind, Essie felt distressed and

upset, so she didn't have the mood to get engaged at all.
