Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Just a Dream
He was cursed at for several weeks before things gradually quieted down.
Hayes Edwards wasn’t foolish; he quickly figured out what had happened.
He had no thoughts of revenge, only blaming himself for meddling.
He was never particularly kind-hearted to begin with, and his few words of warning to Hannah Winter were only out of consideration for their past.
Since she didn’t appreciate his gesture, there was no need for him to bother any further.
After that, their interactions ceased.
For a long while, the plot continued as usual.
When Hayes received news from Hannah again, it was two months after she had passed away.
It was hard to say whether it was wistfulness or just sentimentality, but he felt that this marked the end, and that a period had been placed on his memories from the past.
Even though they were memories shared by two people, in the end, he was the only one who remembered them.
They were as ethereal as a dream.
He had no idea what Hannah had gone through; everything about her, including her personality, was so different from the person he remembered.
It was as if it was all just a dream of his own making.
On a rainy morning, he canceled all his plans and, with the necessary paperwork, collected Hannah’s ashes.
He spent three more days bringing her back to her hometown.
"Whether you remember or not, this is still your hometown," he murmured.
On the gravestone, the girl in the black-and-white photo smiled peacefully and gracefully.
The rain fell, dampening the white daisies in front of the grave.
She was not the person he knew.
Jinlian closed the book in her hands with a sigh, "How pitiful, if Hannah had not forgotten her past, could she have been with Hayes then?"
Hannah ran her fingers through her hair as she looked at herself in the mirror, "Worlds transformed into novels always have various gaps, the real world won’t just revolve around the protagonists. But to Hannah Winter, everything she experienced afterwards was what’s real, as for the past..."
She picked up the pearl earrings from the table and put them on, "Perhaps it really was just a dream."
Jinlian didn’t quite understand, but it can comprehend all this when applied to its own master.
Because it also doesn’t know its master’s past.
Every time it asked, the master would say it wasn’t important because, when she returned, sooner or later she would bring down the stellar empire.
After that... it didn’t dare to ask anymore.
It might become the first artificial intelligence in stellar history to defect from the royal family.
And who knows if it would ever have the chance to reunite with its former master, Dalang.

In the evening, the program team scheduled today’s roadshow by the riverside.
It was the liveliest spot.
Like every other time, they had arranged for a live band.
Since the program was pre-recorded, most of the online buzz on the day of the roadshow was about "random encounters with Hannah" or "random encounters with Hayes."
It wasn’t until the performance began in the evening that the topic surged once again on the hot search charts.
Many netizens who couldn’t be there were eagerly waiting for the onlookers’ recordings to satiate their curiosity.
