Chapter 1042

The black-clad subordinate only curved his lips into a meaningful smirk, offering no answer.

Before either Eva or Wanda could react, a group of scientists in lab coats rushed over and restrained them on the floor.

“What are you doing?” Wanda cried in panic. “Mr. Griffiths wants me! How dare you treat me this way? Do you know the consequences?”

Eva shouted, “I was invited by Mr. Griffiths! Did you catch the wrong people?”

But their protests fell on deaf ears. The scientists strapped them onto strange machines, ran full-body checks, and quickly declared them ready for injection. Within moments, both Wanda and Eva were implanted with liquid chips, turning them into living AI under Miguel’s control.

Meanwhile, life at the Evans family was peaceful for Elliana. Most days, she stayed in bed, with Paulina bringing her meals and drinks. Apart from Lance and Jeff, who visited her daily, no one else dared to disturb her.

With little to do, Elliana spent hours studying the two jade bracelets, trying to uncover their secrets. But days passed, and she found nothing.

Taylor, ever since leaving the Evans estate that day, hadn’t returned. He claimed he was busy preparing for his concert.

As a popular star, his concert drew massive attention. The company even announced that Cole would attend with his girlfriend, Lilah, which made tickets sell out in a flash.

Cole and Elliana silently agreed to the publicity stunt. By drawing eyes to themselves, they hoped to lure out those hiding in the shadows—especially the Serpent Society members.

A month slipped by quickly. Elliana regained her strength and could finally move around again. She was four months pregnant now, her belly showing a gentle curve.

Cole prepared soft, flowing clothes and comfortable shoes for her. Even without his memories, his care was tender and steady.

They spent each day and night together, sharing the same bed, growing closer, their bond like that of an old married couple.

The day before the concert, Cole worked overtime at the office, hoping to clear his schedule for the event.

At home alone, Elliana had dinner, read for a while, and then got ready for a bath. Her thoughts wandered—Cole had healed, and maybe it was time to tell him about their past. Even if he couldn’t remember, he should at least know the life they once shared.

Just as she rose to her feet, the bedroom door burst open.

Cole strode in and pulled her into a fierce embrace without a word.

Sensing something was different, Elliana, breathless in his arms, tilted her face up. “Cole, what’s wrong?”

He pressed a fervent kiss to her hair before pulling back, his eyes glistening with emotion.

Tears shimmered there, along with a love so deep it threatened to drown her.
