Chapter 1112 Do You Remember Your Mother’s Name?
Along the way out, Jewel and Alex remained silent. She only spoke up until they were
outside the police station. "You leave on your own. I'll take a cab myself."
Alex didn't say anything either, but he stubbornly opened the car's back door.
She glanced at him, let out a sigh of helplessness, and bent down to sit in the car.
She thought that Alex would sit in the front, but to her surprise, he also got into the back
seat.
Instinctively, she shifted to the side a little.
The car door closed, and the vehicle slowly started moving. No one said a word. The
atmosphere inside the car became increasingly suffocating and it created an inexplicable
sense of breathlessness.
She tried to speak but didn't know what to say.
After a long while, she managed to force out a sentence. "Thank you for today. How much
is the mediation amount? I'll transfer it to you later!"
Alex looked at her and his eyes were filled with hidden thoughts. It was unclear what he
was thinking.

intertwined, which made one's heart feel uncomfortable.
Jewel silently withdrew her gaze without saying anything.
He also turned his head to look out the window. After a while, he said, "Do you remember
your mother's name?"
She looked at him. However, he just stared outside as if he was enveloped in a gloomy
atmosphere and unable to see any trace of light.
She furrowed her brows slightly and replied, "No, I don't."
Alex let out a sigh in silence. He had known for a long time that she had forgotten
everything from eight years ago, but he still held hopeful anticipation that she would
remember. He hoped that she would clearly tell him that her mother wasn't Winnie Parker,
that her mother wasn't the third party who destroyed his family, and that her mother
wasn't the mistress who took away his father from a young age.
However, it was all wishful thinking. She still didn't remember anything.
"Is my mother's name related to your ignoring me during this period?" Jewel wasn't a fool.
Based on his desolate appearance, his complicated gaze when looking at her, and the fact
that he asked about her mother, she boldly speculated that it might have something to do
with her mother. Otherwise, why would he ask about it when he knew she didn't
remember anything?
Alex looked at her in surprise. Her gaze was clear and sincere, which made him feel
trapped in a difficult situation.
He had forgotten. Jewel was not only brave and meticulous but also intelligent!
He took her hand, as if he had made a certain determination, and said, "It's not related.
I've been trying to persuade my mother during this period. As you know, she can be
stubborn and extreme. I didn't dare to make her angry and didn't want you to suffer with
me, so I didn't come to see you. During this period, I've asked myself countless times if I
can make you blissful. I was just afraid…"
Jewel's expression didn't change much. She knew that Alex wasn't telling the truth.
However, the fact that he went to such lengths to explain showed that she had a place in
his heart. Perhaps there was some sincerity in these words he spoke!
She couldn't help but smile at the thought of this. She didn't expect that she could still
find comfort in her own amusement at this moment.

She looked at him and her eyes sparkled like a galaxy. "What do you think blissfulness is?"
Alex was momentarily stunned and explained, "Blissfulness is genuine joy and happiness
from within. At the very least, I should have the ability to make you happy, but I've
become more and more confused about myself, and I don't know if I can give you
happiness."
Jewel said, "I feel that both blissfulness and a sense of security come from within oneself,
not bestowed by others. After all, no one can be relied upon nowadays!"
He felt his heart ache along with her words. He was still considering whether he could
make her blissful in the future, but he had forgotten that he had already made her feel
that he was unreliable now!
Eugene was right. He was draining her youth, her enthusiasm, and the confidence she had
finally mustered to take that step toward him.
"Jewel…"
She looked at him and smiled with clear eyes. "It's just a breakup. You don't have to be so
tactful! I still can handle it! Actually, I should thank you for giving me an answer.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to confidently move on!"
