Vicky remembered almost everything but knew nothing about the mysterious man.
A part of her memories remained lost, but that was related to the reason why she broke up with Tyler. She did not
think that it concerned the mysterious man.
‘Can the man I ran into be the mysterious man who’s been helping me?’ she thought.
Just as she considered whether she should text or call the man she met before, her phone vibrated.
The man she met always contacted her with unknown caller identification, while the mysterious man who helped
her multiple times had an actual phone number.
Though Vicky suspected that they were the same person, she decided to treat them like two separate individuals

[I thought you were never going to text me again.]
[What makes you think that?] Vicky replied.
[You’ve forgotten about everything, including me.]
Vicky’s expression darkened. [How do you know that I’ve forgotten about everything?]
[Because I’ve been watching you.]
Vicky paused before replying. [You still haven’t answered my question from earlier.]
The mysterious man did not reply immediately until half an hour later.

help I’ve provided you in the past. It’s hardly a big price to pay for you, right? After all, Harvey Sparks was in prison,
and if you didn’t marry Tyler, the Shaws would marry you off to someone else for their gain.]
Vicky stared at the text dazedly, and some time later, she sent another message.
[Last question. Have we met before?]

Just when Vicky thought that she would not get any response, her phone vibrated, and she spotted a text message
with only one word.
[Yes.]

In the afternoon, Vicky spoke with Cece on the phone and headed out toward the studio.
The recovery of her memories had exhausted her energy, so she soon fell asleep in the taxi after informing the
