Chapter 407 The Amnesia
After the car accident, Lenora lost a portion of her memory. As a result, she lost contact with Bella upon returning to Clusia and could no longer recognize Bella
It had been a long while, and Lenora treated her as though she was a stranger, so Bella didn’t have the nerve to confirm it.
Lenora had also considered that, yet a part of her was still in disbelief about such a coincidence.
She asked Bella outright, “Do you know your friend’s Clusian name?”
Bella once had a Clusian friend, and she had a Clusian boyfriend, so she could even speak a few phrases in Clusian, quite fluently at that.
She responded in Clusian, “Her name is Lenora Wilkin
Lenora’s mouth fell open in shock as she was frozen on the spot.
“You… You can’t seriously be Lenora, can you?” Bella asked, her eyebrows raised in disbelief.
“Vam.” Lenora tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“Then… why don’t you recognize me? Have you forgotten when you first arrived at Pillere University, lost and unable to find your classroom? It was me who took you to your class. When you didn’t have your library card, you borrowed books using mine! Every assignment by Mr. Jefferson, I copied from you…” Bella, in one breath, recounted many past events. She spoke faster than the audio in a language listening test. “You promised me before you left for home that you’d keep in touch and come visit me when you had the time. But in the end, I couldn’t reach you at all!”
Bella was somewhat heartbroken, angry, and puzzled as she spoke. A multitude of emotions intermingled on her countenance, making her stunning face even more expressive.
A beautiful woman always looked good, no matter her expression.
Lenora realized she caused Bella to be upset, so she hurriedly explained, “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to lose touch with you. It’s just that I had a car accident later on, and I had an amnesia.”
Jermaine stated, “I can vouch for her. She didn’t keep in touch with Axel after returning to her country. If it wasn’t for her enrolling in Axel’s photography class by chance, she might not even be standing before us today.”
“If you don’t believe me, I can show you my hospital records from back then,” said Lenora.
Bella glanced at Lenora. “All right, I believe you.”
“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect we were friends before, Bella. Have you eaten yet? Allow me to treat you today.”
“No. My friend told me she saw Adonis with a Clusian woman while she was out shopping, so I rushed over here.”
“You should eat, then,” Lenora called over the waiter and requested an additional set of cutlery.

Bella knew that Lenora was well–off. As she flipped through the menu, she huffed and declared, “I’m going to make you pay a hefty bill!”
After placing the order, she said, “I knew you’re not that kind of person, Fay. You know, I even went to Jacaster the day after you returned to the country! I waited to find you but had no idea where to start, so after a few days, I just came back!”
Since Bella even went to Clusia for Lenora, it seemed that their relationship must have been quite good.
“It seems we are destined to cross paths again, even if takes a few years,” Lenora said.
Bella nodded. “You’re right.”
She picked up the wine glass and poured herself half a glass of red wine. “Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The three of them raised their glasses together, draining them in one go.
After a significant time apart, two good friends, Bella and Lenora, had finally reunited. As such, Bella had a lot to share with Lenora.
Lenora was also curious about what had happened since she left Fairlake, so she chatted with Bella.
Bella’s inability to contact Lenora became a lingering regret in her heart. Therefore, she remembered those times vividly. As she recounted the events bit by bit, even though Lenora couldn’t recall them, she had the feeling that she had indeed lived through those experiences.
Jermaine couldn’t get a word in. He sat helplessly on the side, cutting steak for Bella.
At a certain point in their conversation, something occurred to Bella. She asked, “How are you feeling now?”
“Very good,” Lenora blurted out. Realizing that Bella wasn’t just asking without reason, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s good that you’re okay. I recall there was a period during that year when you weren’t doing well health- wise. It seemed like you had to take corticosteroids and gained quite a bit of weight. However, by the time of graduation, you had recovered significantly.”
“I see, but my health has been excellent these past few years.” Lenora didn’t overthink it,
Indeed, certain illnesses necessitated the intake of glucocorticoids, which influenced the body’s metabolism and resulted in weight gain.
“That’s wonderful.” Bella laughed, then asked, “Are you back this time to continue your studies?”
“No, I came here to work.”
“Are you settling down here?”
“I suppose so.”
Bella then suggested, “I could recommend you to my dad’s company.”

With a chuckle, Lenora responded, “I appreciate your kindness, but I’m currently working as a photographer.”

“A photographer?” Bella asked, grinning. “Could you do a photo shoot for me in traditional Clusian attire? I’ve been wanting to do it for a while.”
“Of course.” Lenora readily agreed.
“I really didn’t expect you to become a photographer! I remember back in the day, you had excellent grades in your major.”
Bella was pretty lazy in her studies.
Leveraging her father’s influence, she always had a devil–may–care attitude. Nevertheless, she did manage to graduate smoothly in the end.
“When I was in Jacaster, I worked in my field of expertise for quite some time, and eventually, I wanted to try something new,” Lenora explained.
“I see. Well, did you date anyone since you returned to Jacaster these past few years?” Bella inquired curiously.
Lenora smiled faintly. “To be honest, I had a divorce. The reason I came to Fairlake was to avoid seeing my
ex–husband.”
Bella didn’t think much of it, but her curiosity was piqued. “Was your ex–husband the man you’ve loved for many years?”
Back then, Kevin from their class had feelings for Lenora, but she turned him down.
Bella also noticed that Ezekiel had feelings for Lenora, but Lenora had expressed gratitude for Ezekiel’s help, so it was obvious Lenora only treated Ezekiel as a friend.
Back then, Bella asked Lenora why the latter didn’t consider Ezekiel. The latter then confessed that there was someone in Jacaster whom she had adored for many years. She wanted to always have him in her sight, even if she couldn’t be with him. Therefore, she never considered staying in Fairlake.
Jermaine pricked up his ears.
Back then, he didn’t pay attention to what Ezekiel had said. However, it was the first time he saw Ezekiel being so enthusiastic about a foreign student who had only stayed in Fairlake for a year. As such, he was certain that Ezekiel had some feelings for her.
The corner of Lenora’s mouth twitched because she didn’t expect herself to have mentioned Zachary to Bella.
Back then, she was too naïve, idealizing both people and love.
“It was him. Only after truly being with him did I realize that I had subconsciously idealized him,” said
Lenora.
Bella nodded in agreement. “That’s why I’m a believer in not getting married.”.
Jermaine was speechless.

Lenora glanced at Jermaine’s gloomy expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “It suits you well.”

Engrossed in their conversation, Lenora and Bella lost track of time. By the time they checked the clock, it was already past nine in the night.
Before leaving, Bella made plans with Lenora to have a thorough tour of Fairlake the next day.
Upon returning to the hotel, Lenora began choosing what to wear for the next day.
Meeting Bella was truly an unexpected yet incredibly delightful experience for her.
Once one had a friend in an unfamiliar place, they get used to the place quickly,
Lenora was filled with anticipation for her future life.
However, she needed to secure her job and living arrangements quickly.
