Chapter 503 Knowing the Truth

"Dr. Zimmer, who's coming?" I turned to Sergio, noticing his frown, his expression colder than usual. "Just some unrelated people," he said flatly.

Then, as if realizing his tone, he softened and looked at me. "By the way, we're married now. Isn't calling me 'Dr. Zimmer' a bit too distant?"

His words caught me off guard. "Then... what should I call you?"

"Serg," he answered, stepping closer and gently smoothing my windblown hair. "And from now on, can I call you Coco?"

His intimate address made me uncomfortable. A shiver ran down my spine, and goosebumps formed on my arms.

But he liked me. Would it be too cold of me to refuse?

Especially since I had forgotten everything about him and had kept my distance from him all this time. After a brief hesitation, I nodded. "Alright."

The helicopter landed, and I saw figures approaching. I instinctively asked, "Who are they?"

From a distance, I could make out a man and a woman, accompanied by a group of bodyguards.

As they drew closer, the guards-clad in black, their faces concealed behind masks and sunglasses- remained expressionless.

The man and woman appeared to be in their 40s or 50s. The woman was remarkably well-kept, with few visible wrinkles and an air of sophistication. She looked younger than her supposed age.

Her eyes were piercing, carrying the weight of someone who had seen too much of the world.

The instant our gazes met, an unexplainable sharpness sent a chill down my spine.

The man beside her appeared unremarkable, yet his deep, unreadable stare unsettled me.

Without thinking, I took a step back, hiding behind Sergio.

The woman spoke, "Did you come all this way just for her?"

A sense of unease tightened in my chest-I had been right. They meant harm to me.

Sergio must have noticed my fear. He reached for my wrist, his grip firm. "It's okay. Don't be scared."

But I couldn't shake off the dread creeping over me. I had no recollection of those people, yet an instinctive fear clung to me.

There were gaps in my memory, pieces of my past lost to me. But when I first saw Sergio, something about him felt strangely familiar.
