Chapter 1048 Nothing To Do With Me
But Stanford’s expression did not change significantly. It looked as if he could not recognize the two
women not far away from him.
“Grandma, didn’t I ask you to wait for me? Why did you come this way?” Amanda was upset and
worried that Jessica strayed off without telling her.
Jessica grabbed her hand and said, “I saw Stanford. Was he here to receive us? I called out to him but
he did not hear and walked off.”
When Jessica said this, Amanda raised her head and saw Stanford. She suddenly seemed unnatural
and perturbed.
‘Why was he here?’
She sized Stanford and Atwood up. They did not appear to have returned from a business trip as they
did not have any luggage with them.
“Grandma, you are mistaken.” Amanda led her away.
Jessica shook her head, “I did not, isn’t he Stanford? I’m not senile yet!”
“He’s not.” Amanda tried to avoid the matter and now Jessica began to falter, “Did I see wrongly?”
Amanda definitively said to Jessica, “Yes, you’ve made a mistake.”
At this moment, Stanford walked briskly over to them and asked, “Do you know me?”
Amanda did not turn to look at him but replied, “No.”
Jessica wanted to prove that she did not make a mistake and asked, “Are you Stanford?”
“Yes, I am.” Stanford was doubtful as there could be a coincidence and this old lady could have
mistaken him for someone else. After all, this other lady kept denying.
“Mr. James, we have a meeting. We need to go now.” Atwood came over to remind him.
‘Even Atwood did not recognize them so most likely this old lady was mistaken.’ Stanford thought.
He did not persist and left with Atwood.
When Stanford got into the car, Atwood made up an excuse that he needed to use the restroom and NôvelDrama.Org content.
told the driver to leave first. He would catch a taxi later. Stanford agreed and Atwood got out of the car.
After Atwood ensured that the car had left, he ran back into the airport terminal. However, the car
moved a short distance and stopped. Stanford noticed Atwood’s actions from the rearview mirror and
became suspicious.
“Shall we return to the office?” The driver asked.
“No.” Stanford opened the door and exited the car. He wanted to see what was going on as Atwood’s
behaviour was very suspicious.
Atwood found Amanda inside the airport terminal.
“Mrs… Ms. Nelson.” Atwood almost addressed her as Mrs. James. But she was no longer Stanford’s
wife. Additionally, Stanford had lost his memories and the two of them were effectively strangers.
“Can I help you?” Amanda sounded cold.
Atwood said, “Mr. James had not recovered his memories. George, the doctor, and I told him that he
cannot recover.” They did not want him to recall his past.
After all, Amanda also would not forgive him. Since all the memories would only hurt him, he might as
well forget them and start afresh.
“Recently, I’ve been encouraging him to make some friends of the opposite sex…” Atwood wished that
Stanford could get married again and start a family.
Amanda was puzzled by Atwood’s actions and asked, “Why did you tell me these?” She then scoffed,
“Do these have anything to do with me?”
“No…” Atwood simply felt the need to tell her since her hatred for him was so deep. Now she should
know about Stanford’s condition.
“I’m afraid that you would misunderstand and in case you meet him, I’m afraid…”
“Say no more.” Amanda waved her hand, “I understand. I will not look for him. Furthermore, regardless
of how he is in the future, it has nothing to do with me. I’m back because I have something to attend to.
After all, this is a free country and I can come to this city as I wish.”
“Of course.” Atwood was still respectful of Amanda and offered, “Shall I get a taxi for you?”
“No need. I’ve already called for one.” Amanda rejected.
Jessica could not understand the conversation and asked, “Amanda, what are you saying?”
“Nothing.” Amanda led Jessica away and continued, “Let’s go. The taxi is here and waiting for us.”
Atwood looked at them leave and sighed as he left the airport. He did not notice Stanford leaving from
another end.
Back at the office, Stanford continued to recall Atwood and Amanda’s conversation. The women did not
appear to be strangers. On the contrary, they seemed familiar and the conversation kept referring to
him.
He was certain that this had something to do with him and Atwood was keeping something from him.
Atwood did not want him to know something.
He picked up the phone, dialled and the call was swiftly answered.
“Investigate someone for me and look for a hospital that is outside of this city,” Stanford ordered.
The call ended and someone knocked on the door. Atwood came back to the office and reminded
Stanford that he had a meeting.
Stanford pretended that he did not know anything and went to the meeting.
Amanda and Jessica checked into the hotel and rested for the day. They would start their plans
tomorrow. She bathed Jessica and ordered room service.
Amanda put Jessica to bed, took a shower, and was ready to rest when the doorbell rang and she went
to open the door.
