Free Web NovelChapter 255: Recognized Him Immediately
Wendy said, "Did you burn yourself somewhere? Shall I take you to the hospital now?" As Wendy looked at Mary, her expression was full of worry.
Mary said, "I... "
Mary took a deep breath and lowered her gaze.
She was a little flustered and didn’t know where to put her hands.
"And this is?" When Timothy heard Wendy call her mom, he already guessed her identity and asked politely with a faint smile.
"I forgot to introduce... " Michael said hastily, "This is Wendy’s mom, Mary."
Following that, Michael introduced to Mary, "This is Timothy Woods, Wendy’s mentor, and her godfather. During the five years in Rheinsville City, Timothy took care of Wendy and her children."
Mary said, "Mentor? Godfather?" Mary’s heart was pounding.
When she looked up again, she saw Timothy looking at her with friendly eyes.
Mary thought, did he recognize her?
Mary looked down at what she was wearing and then reached out to touch her face.
Mary couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.
More than twenty years had passed, and she used to be confident and proud.
Now, she was just a fifty-year-old woman. Her aged face was full of wrinkles.
Even she had forgotten what she looked like twenty years ago.
"Are you hurt? If you’re burned, you can’t tough it out. It’s best to go to the hospital," Timothy said.
Upon hearing this, Mary looked slightly troubled and shook her head without saying anything.
She raised her head again and sized up the man in front of her.
Compared to the changes to herself, the man in front of her had not changed much.
He was still dressed in a suit. Although there were some wrinkles on his face, he still looked the same as he did twenty years ago.
He was the same to the point that Mary recognized him immediately.
He seemed to have lived a good life over the years.
Wendy said, "I’d better take you to the hospital." Wendy looked for her car keys and wanted to take Mary to the hospital. Mary didn’t refuse.
She didn’t refuse because she was burned, but because she didn’t know how to stay in the same room with Timothy.
"I’ll take my mother to the hospital first. Michael, please help entertain Timothy,"
Wendy said.
"Don’t worry," Michael nodded and watched their backs as they left with some worry in his eyes.
When they got into the car, Wendy reminded Mary to fasten her seat belt and said, "Let’s go to the nearest hospital."
Mary replied, "No need to go to the hospital, I’m fine." Mary swallowed and looked out the car window, having spoken with a heavy tone of voice.
Wendy said, "Let’s go." Wendy saw how Mary looked just now and was scared.
"I’m really fine." Mary turned her head to look at Wendy and smiled to reassure her and said, "I just got startled for a moment."
"Really?" Wendy looked at Mary’s condition again with concern. It seemed that there were indeed no burns.
"Wendy, tell me the truth. What is your relationship with Timothy?" Mary asked.
Wendy said, "Do you mean my mentor?"
Wendy said truthfully, "You know that my memory has not fully recovered. He probably took good care of me during those five years in Rheinsville City. When I fell into the sea, he supposedly saved me too."
When she heard this, Mary asked, "What was his name again?"
Mary hadn’t heard what Michael had said earlier. freewёbnoνel.com
"Timothy Woods," Wendy answered truthfully.
"Timothy?" Mary murmured the name.
He didn’t use to go by that name. But changing his name wasn’t surprising.
She had changed her own name back then.
Wendy said, "What’s wrong?" Wendy thought Mary seemed a little off and seemed a little interested in Timothy.
"Isn’t he, your savior?" Mary forced a smile and said, "Your rescuer is also Mom’s. I’d just like to know more about him."
Wendy replied, "So, what else do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything I know."
Mary said, "What year was he born in, and how old is he this year, do you know?"
Wendy said, "This... "
Wendy felt that Mary’s questions were getting stranger and stranger.
However, she still answered truthfully, "I really don’t know this. I might have known before, but I lost my memory and can’t remember it. If you want to know, I’ll call Jill now and ask her. She’ll know for sure."
With that, Wendy searched for her phone.
"Jill? Who is she?" Mary asked.
Wendy said, "Timothy’s daughter, who followed me back to Lake City, and I’m quite close to her. She treats me like her own sister."
Wendy had already found her phone and was flipping through her contacts to call Jill.
When Mary heard this, she immediately reached out and grabbed Wendy’s phone to stop her.
Wendy said, "Mom, what’s wrong with you today?" Wendy was a little confused when her phone was snatched away.
"First, tell me, what’s the matter with his daughter?" Mary couldn’t keep the smile on her face any longer.
Wendy said, "What’s the matter? Jill is his daughter. She’s twenty-four years old and recently graduated from college. She followed me to Lake City after graduation and has been working for me as an assistant so that she can learn some designing skills from me." Wendy looked at Mary and wondered why she was so interested in Timothy.
In response to Mary’s question, Wendy told her everything she knew.
Wendy said, "My mentor is the president of HG, and I forget who his wife is. But it seems that he has only one daughter, Jill, and he has high expectations of her. Because Jill does not like to design and yet Timothy has no other children, so he wants Jill to inherit his mantle."
Wendy deliberately said more, "You probably don’t know what HG is, right? HG is a design company, and many of the world’s most famous designers were trained by HG, so it’s pretty impressive."
Hearing these words, Mary suddenly smiled. It was indeed quite impressive.
At first, Mary wondered if it was possible that she was mistaken and that he might just look alike.
After all, he didn’t know her, and his name was different. But now Wendy said he was from the design company, so it couldn’t just be a matter of looking alike.
As she laughed, Mary’s eyes got a little tingly, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"Mom, don’t scare me. What’s wrong with you?"
When Wendy saw Mary crying, she immediately reached over and unbuckled her seat belt, then leaned over and hugged her. She said with a worried tone, "Do you know my mentor? Or is there something going on between you two?"
Mary said, "No... " Mary immediately denied it, "I don’t know him."
Mary’s denial seemed more like a deliberate attempt to conceal something. But with Mary acting like this, Wendy couldn’t ask further questions.
Mary reached out and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She looked at Wendy with a smile and said, "Nothing, it’s just that I heard you talk about Timothy saving you and remembered the five years you disappeared. For those five years, I thought you were dead."
