“Butler. please help me contact the driver, and book me a ticket to Britain as soon as possible!”
The butler was surprised. “Ms. Martell, Mr. Anderson will be back soon. Your body has just recovered; it’s really not suitable for you to tire yourself out.
Christina’s tone was uncharacteristically firm. “I want to bring him home myself.”
She couldn’t wait any longer.
She couldn’t wait for him to come back in two days.
She couldn’t wait to see him right away.
She wanted to tell him immediately that she remembered–she remembered he was her Val, remembered all the forgotten past between them.
She had just changed her clothes and come downstairs, ready to leave, when the garden gate opened.
A familiar figure entered her sight.
“Christy, where are you going?”
Christina looked up abruptly. The moment their eyes met, she broke into a radiant smile, rushed toward Valentin, and hugged him tightly.
Valentin was overwhelmed with joy, but still frowned the moment he touched her icy fingers.
“Why aren’t you wearing more? Your hands are freezing.”
Christina buried her head in his arms, acting spoiled just like when she was a child. “Because I wanted to see you, Val.”
Valentin’s body went completely stiff,
Val…
That was a name Valentin thought he would never hear again in his lifetime.
Could it be… she remembered everything?

The immense joy left Valentin speechless for a moment.
He only hugged her tighter, burying his face deep in the crook of her neck, savoring this happiness regained.
“Val, I’m sorry… all these years, I was the one who forgot you.”
Seeing Christina cry, Valentin’s heart ached terribly.
He stroked her soft hair just like when they were children. “Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? Look, haven’t we met again now? We’ll have so much more time together from now on.”
Christina gazed into his eyes, reading the love within them as clearly as ever. Unable to help herself, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the man’s lips.
“Christy, do you know… what you’re doing?”
Christina nodded shyly.
Valentin cupped the back of her head, pouring all the joy of their reunion into that kiss.
When it finally ended, Christina’s checks were flushed, and she leaned against Valentin’s chest, slightly out of breath, her fingers unconsciously tugging at the buttons of his coat.
Valentin’s heart melted completely.
He lowered his head and rubbed her cold nose with his own. “Then today is the first day of us being together.”
Under Valentin’s meticulous care, Christina’s health gradually recovered.
Knowing she loved tending to flowers and plants, he specially opened a café–flower shop for her in the city center.
Even though work kept him busy, Valentin always made plenty of time to be by her side.
As long as it was about her, Valentin did everything himself, wanting to make up for all the love she had missed over the years, and double it.
At a party, Valentin introduced Christina to everyone. Caught up in the atmosphere, Christina couldn’t help but have a few more glasses of fruit wine.
She had a low tolerance for alcohol and was drunk after just a few drinks. Valentin, both helpless and amused, took her home early.
He had just laid her on the bed and was about to get her some hangover soup when Christina’s

soft hand hooked around his neck.
Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes dreamy, and she hugged him with a silly smile. After laughing. she pecked his lips again and again.
Valentin’s breath caught. Seeing her looking so alluring because of the alcohol, his Adam’s apple bobbed.
He restrained himself and kissed her forehead. “Be good, I’ll go get you some water.”
“No… I want you to stay with me.” As she spoke, her arms tightened around him.
After that night, the relationship between the two progressed rapidly.
It wasn’t until three months later, when Christina noticed she hadn’t had her period for a long time, that she finally realized something was wrong.
The test results came out quickly–she was pregnant!
A flash of guilt crossed Valentin’s face. “Doctor, her body only recently recovered. Will being pregnant now harm her?”
The doctor reassured them that Christina’s health had been well cared for and there was no risk.
After the doctor left, Valentin frowned deeply, showing none of the joy of becoming a father- only worry for her.
“I’m sorry, Christy, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have…”
But Christina reached out and pressed her finger to his lips, stopping him from continuing.
“Val, don’t apologize. That night, I wasn’t so drunk that I didn’t know what I was doing. Everything was my choice. This is our child, the crystallization of our love. I want… to keep him.”
Valentin held her hand tightly in return and nodded solemnly.
“Does it still hurt?”
Valentin’s voice pulled Christina out of her memories.
Meeting Valentin’s worried gaze, she smiled and shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt.”
