Chapter 58:

The old woman spread her arms wide and wailed like a lost child. Jayden turned to Elyse, who looked stricken by what she was seeing. “It seems like she only remembers you. She called your name before she fainted the other day, remember?”

Elyse did remember, but then what? After hesitating for a moment, she slowly walked over to the old lady. When the patient just kept crying, Elyse crouched and put her arms around her.

The old lady leaned into the embrace as though she had finally found her saving grace. She wept and wept, her tears soaking the collar of Elyse’s shirt.

They remained that way for a while, and when the old lady finally seemed to calm down, Elyse asked her, “Is there something you wanted to tell me, Ma’am?”

The old lady slowly raised her head, her face wrought with misery. “Are you Elyse Lloyd?”

“Yes, that is my name.”

“You’re all grown up now. When I first saw you, you were just a baby.”

Elyse was shocked. This old lady had met her in her early years?

The old lady then folded her arms in front of her as one would when they cradled a baby, then looked back at Elyse’s face. Her brows were furrowed in obvious confusion, as if she was wondering how the baby had suddenly turned into a young woman.
