BookToReadChapter 519:
Following the surgery, Dorothy had been in a state of unconsciousness. Before regaining consciousness, Dorothy
felt as if the most precious treasure of her life had been restored to her. As if summoned by destiny itself, she
awakened.
Now, she looked intently at Morgan and whispered, “You are finally back, Janet.”
Elyse and Jayden were stunned; they had not anticipated that JLawrence, the woman they had been
fervently searching for, was actually Morgan.
Morgan stared at Dorothy, her lips slightly parted, wanting to clarify something. “I'm sorry, ma’am, but you've
mistakenfor someone else. | don’t know you at all. I'm Morgan Welch.” Yet, the words refused to leave her
throat.
She observed Dorothy intently, trying to understand why this stranger evoked such a profound sense of
familiarity. The wrinkles on Dorothy's face, each a testament to the passage of time, and her aged visage stirred
a sudden urge in Morgan to weep.
Instead of correcting her, Morgan asked softly, “Why have you aged so much?”

Dorothy remained unexpectedly serene, her gaze fixed on Morgan, whose tears had now streaked down her
cheeks. She offered a tender, maternal smile. “You've aged as well, Janet.”
Morgan puzzled over why Dorothy’s words moved her to tears, or more precisely, why she felt so unsettled upon
seeing Dorothy.
Morgan wept and explained, “I'm not Janet. My nis Morgan Welch. You're confusingwith someone else. |
have no family. Perhaps I'm crying because your kindness overwhelms me.”

Dorothy softly repeated the n“Morgan” while gazing intently at her. “Janet, you are my daughter. Of that, |
have no doubt. | am very old and could die at any moment. Yet, I've clung to life because | have a mission to
complete.”
Confused, Morgan asked, “A mission?”
Dorothy looked at her with grave seriousness. “Your arrival marks the completion of my mission. Even though
you've forgotten your name, you have your own mission to fulfill. The truth about Rickey’s death lies with you.”
Rickey? Morgan was left wondering who he was. As the nechoed within her, it unlocked fragmented
memories. Morgan remembered a boy from her school days—they had once stayed up all night to go hiking and
watch the sunrise together. Floods of memories from their childhood and adulthood surged through her mind.
Suddenly, her thoughts halted and dissipated as if swept away, leaving her mind blank.
In the midst of a dazzling white light, a dark silhouette emerged. A tall, erect figure approached her, halting just
three feet in front of her.
Although Morgan couldn't discern his face, shrouded in darkness, she felt an inexplicable sense of safety rather
than fear. She could sense he was smiling at her.
“Who—who are you?” Morgan asked, her voice tinged with fear.
The man sighed, a note of tender exasperation in his voice. “Jane, when will you remember me? You know | need
you badly.”
With these words, the man slowly advanced toward Morgan.
“No, stay back! Don’t cany closer!” Morgan cried out, panic rising in her voice. In a defensive reflex, she
stretched out her hands to halt his advance.
Yet, the man moved effortlessly through her extended arms. With a surreal grace, he opened his arms and
seemed to blend into her very being.
In that bewildering moment, Morgan experienced a profound sensation—it was as though the man was

longed to hold her.
Rickey? Rickey Benson!
In that instant, his identity becunmistakably clear in Morgan's mind.
“Argh!” Morgan suddenly clutched her head, screaming in pain.
Alarmed, Elyse quickly approached her, concern etched across her face. “What's wrong, Morgan? Are you feeling
unwell?”
Panic flashed across Morgan's features as she slowly turned her eyes towards Elyse. “That man, he accuses me
of forgetting him. | don’t know who he is... | forgot him... | forgot him.”
Morgan repeated the words, lost in her torment. Despite Elyse’s attempts to reach her, calling out her name
repeatedly, Morgan seemed trapped in her own distant world. Abruptly, she collapsed into unconsciousness.
Elyse moved to support Morgan, but her strength faltered. Just as she feared Morgan would crumple to the
ground, Jayden stepped forward, steadying Morgan and preventing her fall.
“Call the doctor. Tell them she’s fainted from the shock,” Jayden said firmly.
Elyse nodded, urgency propelling her as she hurried out of the room to seek medical help.
