Chapter 752: Is it possible?
Zoren stared at his palm as he sat in the back seat, heading to his last meeting before taking a few hours of rest before tonight’s party. The Pierson Family gathering had never been something he looked forward to, especially not today after his session with Doctor Tan’s colleague.
’What was that about?’ he wondered, closing his eyes as he took a deep breath. ’What a strange memory to remember.’
He knew some things about his mother, though only fragments of her. After all, he was young when the incident with her happened. Then, shortly afterward, his father’s fatal accident had taken place.
In other words, everything before his father’s death was vague. That included his mother.
The doctors said it was due to the trauma and shock he had endured. It wasn’t as though Zoren had ever tried to recall those memories. He didn’t want to remember his mother at all. In his mind, she was better off dead.
Vengeful? Zoren could be called that. His mother had tried to kill him, stabbing him, and then locking him in their home before setting the house on fire. The scar she left him remained, even though it had happened decades ago. He saw no need to remember a memory filled only with pain and disappointment.
’But why...?’ his thoughts trailed off, replaying his brief, troubling trip down memory lane. ’Why did I have to see that?’
Why did his memory carry such a distorted image of himself?
It was strange.
Zoren planned to see if there was anything he could do to recover his vision. His eye problems had started with his last accident — long before he’d even met the adult Penny. The accident was partly to blame, but he was certain his growing helplessness around meeting his "Thursday Girl" heavily contributed as well.
