Chapter 118
It was late at night, and Jason glanced at the clock.
He looked at the photo once more before carefully setting the frame down.
He was about to head back to the hotel.
As Jason walked along the corridor toward the foyer, he was just about to step outside when someone appeared.
It was Yulia.
Seeing Jason, Yulia smiled gently.
She asked, “Jason, you’re back from Betrico. Why not stay the night at home?”
Jason replied, “No, I can’t. I have something to do.”
Yulia nodded, clearly used to Jason’s way of living.
After he left, Yulia asked a servant, “Did Jason come back to visit Grandpa?”
The servant replied respectfully, “Yes, Ms. Muller.”
Yulia pursed her lips and asked, “Did he go to the study again?”
The servant nodded and replied, “Yes.”
Yulia understood and walked inside.
She stopped outside the study.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to push the door open and entered.
Walking over to the desk, Yulia picked up the same photo frame that Jason had.
Memories began to flood her mind.
As a kid, Yulia begged, “Jason, why are you in the study again? Come play with me! I feel so bored!”
Jason said, “Go play by yourself. I don’t have time right now.”
Yulia exclaimed, “No! It you to play with me!
“Hey, Jason, why are you sitting here looking at this picture? This lady is so pretty. Who is she? Let me see!”
With that, Yulia reached out to grab the frame.
Jason said, “Don’t grab it. Yulia, let go.”
Neither of them was willing to let go, and eventually, they both fell.
The glass in the frame shattered.
At that time, 9–year–old Jason held the broken frame, stood up, and fiercely glared at 7–year–old Yulia.
He pointed at her and shouted, “Give me back my frame! Give me back my grandma.

“It’s all because of your It’s your grandma’s fault that my dad lost his mom, that I lost my grandma!
“It’s all your fault!
“Get out! Get out!”
Returning from memory to reality, Yulia looked at the frame in her hand and sneered.

In Yulia’s eyes, because of this frame and this photo, ever since she was 7, Jason had been distant and cold to her, even until
now.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Cherise followed her usual routine and got up early for a morning workout though it was her first day in Hamolica.
There was a sports park behind the hotel.
The morning sky in Hamolica appeared to brighten more quickly than in Betrico, and by the time she completed her 3- mile run, the sun was already scorching hot.
Cherise planned to find a shady spot to do some stretching exercises.
She searched around but noticed there were people everywhere.
Middle–aged folks were doing exercises, full of energy and enthusiasm, making it quite a lively scene.
Cherise finally found a quiet corner where only a couple of elderly men were playing chess. She did some light stretches there.
However, suddenly, one of the elderly men clutched his chest and fell to the ground.
The other elderly man stayed calm and composed.
Just as he was about to go over and check, Cherise quickly ran over.
She laid the man flat on the ground, crossed his hands, and quickly pressed down on his chest a few times.
Then Cherise quickly pressed several acupuncture points near the man’s heart.
The other elderly gentleman had just completed a phone call to inform the fainting man’s family.
Seeing Cherise performing CPR, he was relieved.
In no time, the man on the ground regained a normal heartbeat
His family arrived just in time.
“Miss, I really can’t thank you enough. Are you a doctor?” asked who appeared to be the elderly man’s daughter.
Cherise nodded and replied, “Well, sort of!”
“We’re really lucky the woman commented.
Cherise gave the woman a few more reminders, suggesting they take the elderly man to the hospital for further tests, and prepared to leave.
She had barely taken a few steps when an elderly man behind her called out loudly, “Miss, please wait a moment.”

Cherise stopped where she was as she heard the voice from behind.

She slowly turned around and saw an elderly man in an off–white outfit standing there. She asked, “Sir, were you talking to
me?”
However, the elderly man stood motionless, his eyes appeared a little red.
For some reason, seeing this, Cherise felt a bit of sorrow inside.
She walked a couple of steps towards the elderly man.
Cherise asked, “Sir, did you call me? Are you feeling unwell?”
The elderly man finally came to his senses and wiped his eyes.
Looking at Cherise, he gently said, “I’m sorry, miss. I was being abrupt.
“It’s just that you look so much like someone I once knew, and I couldn’t help but get distracted.”
After speaking, he shook his hand, appearing a little lost, and his eyes reddened again.
Seeing the elderly man’s eyes turn tearful, Cherise felt distressed.
She walked over and instinctively reached out, gently patting his back.
After a moment, the elderly man finally managed to get his emotions under control.
Looking at Cherise, he spoke apologetically, “It’s the first time I’ve been so emotional outside, especially in front of a young lady.”
He let out a helpless chuckle after saying so.
Cherise looked at the elderly man who stirred such strange feelings in her and asked, “You said I look like someone you to know. Who was she?”
The elderly man nodded at her comment and sighed, saying, “She was the girl I loved, but sadly, I lost her.
“I can never get her back again.”
