Perhaps there were people he couldn’t forget, so she subconsciously felt that Jimmy Simmons couldn’t recover his memory.
He simply couldn’t.
With a few words, Tiffany Lynch dispelled Jimmy’s doubts.
Because of this, Jimmy grew more inclined toward the idea that he may have been kidnapped by some organization during his disappearance.
Looking up again to see his once bright moon, his earliest love, crying for him brought a surge of buried emotions, "After all these years, have you been well?"
"I..." Tiffany hesitated to speak, forcing a smile at the man in the hospital bed, her voice choked, "I’ve been fine."
Although she said so, the sadness was evident on the woman’s face, with a sorrow that couldn’t be erased knitting her brows.
What was there left for Jimmy to misunderstand?
He was aware of the inside story when the Lynch Family’s company went bankrupt and even got into a fight with George River after the Lynch family moved abroad.
"You promised to protect her!"
Under the banyan tree, the young Jimmy threw his first punch at his dear brother George.
George didn’t say much, falling to the ground and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he sneered, "Jimmy, you like Tiffany too, don’t you?"
Jimmy remained silent, only clenching his fists tighter, glaring hard at George sitting on the ground.
George, not surprised by any of this, had a mocking smile, "Don’t forget, the Simmons Family is equally complicit in the Lynch’s troubles."
The business world is like a battlefield, with victory and defeat being common occurrences. The only difference is that lives are reaped on the battlefield, while profits are reaped in the marketplace.
In this light, isn’t it "kinder" by comparison?
The two stood in silence, neither with the right to fault the other.
As heirs to their respective families, with no authority to wield while their elders ruled, neither could influence their decisions.
Even if they could have intervened, perhaps they would have made the same choices.
After that day, they buried those memories, as well as their youthful affections for their beautiful moon. Their friendship returned to normal.
Under Tiffany’s subtle insinuations, Jimmy finally understood the "truth."
"George actually abandoned you for a substitute who shouldn’t be seen in public, is he insane?"
He clenched his fist and slammed the bed, only to wince and gasp from the pain of his injury.
Tiffany quickly supported him, but hesitated upon seeing his hands still unwashed, pretending to wipe away tears, "Jimmy, I don’t blame him, he and Miss Winter... They have been together for two years now. It’s my fault, if I hadn’t come back, they wouldn’t have broken up. George was meant to be with her, and it’s natural for Miss Winter to hate me. I just didn’t anticipate her targeting me so harshly, suppressing me, and even intending to ice me out through George..."
Crying as she spoke, her weeping tugged at his heartstrings, oblivious to the unnatural subtleties of her actions, he reached for her hand instead, "Tiffany, I will get justice for you."
In that instant, Tiffany’s hand stiffened.
Amidst Tiffany’s speech, all truths were buried.
Now, Jimmy could only see Hannah as a shameless woman who seduced other people’s boyfriends by any means necessary, even attempting to tarnish the kind-hearted Tiffany, wresting resources from her hands while pushing her to a dead end.
Striving to dismiss the unease in his heart, Jimmy frowned, showing revulsion in his gaze, his demeanor as fierce as when he was younger.
