The villaâs atmosphere was eerily silent.
The servants moved with utmost caution, avoiding any noise.
Standing at the basement entrance, Daveyâs face was unreadable.
He then proceeded to the master bedroom.
The servant guarding Caseyâs room greeted Davey with respect, âMr.
Glyn.
â
With a simple gesture from Davey, the servant promptly exited.
Approaching Caseyâs bed, Davey noticed she was still awake.
She looked at him, her voice tinged with sadness.
âDavey, why hasnât my mother arrived yet?â
Davey took a seat beside Casey, placing one hand gently beside her leg and using the other to smooth her tousled hair, speaking softly.
âYour mother wonât be coming.
â
âWhy not?â Caseyâs voice was filled with disbelief as she grabbed his hand.
Daveyâs eyes lingered on her hand, clasping his with trust, his heart swelling with an unfamiliar warmth.
âTheyâve traveled abroad for a holiday.
Your memories are just a bit mixed up.
â
âMy memories are mixed up?â Casey questioned, struggling to grasp the situation.
Gently caressing her hair, Davey reassured her, âYour memories will return gradually.
â
Casey made a face, expressing her longing, âI really want to hear from my mom.
Could you get her to call me?â
âThey are far away, near the Pacific border, so getting in touch right now is tricky.
â
âs BunnyBookery Tears started to gather in Caseyâs eyes, and she seemed downhearted.
âHave I forgotten many things?â
Noticing her distress, Davey gently proposed, âYou seem weary.
Why not rest a bit more?â
Casey agreed with a nod.
Davey assisted her in getting comfortable and tucked her in.
Then, he softly ki*sed her on the forehead.
âSleep now.
Iâll fill you in on what youâve missed once youâre awake.
â
Casey was taken aback.
âDavey, how could you ki*s me?â
Davey gave her a teasing look.
âDonât you remember, Casey? Weâre a couple, and weâve shared many close moments.
â
âWeâre a couple?â This news seemed to astonish Casey.
Davey chose not to answer directly, leaning in and murmuring, âWould you prefer to listen now, or would you rather rest?â
Casey looked troubled.
âMy head is hurtingâ¦â
âALL right.
Get some rest, then.
â Davey gazed at Casey.
