Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 398

Everett leaned back on the leather sofa, absently swirling his drink, silent for a stretch before speaking up in a laid-back manner. "Can't find her."

After his heart transplant, while he was on the mend, he was hit with the news that his brother's death wasn't accidental as he'd thought. The shock was so intense that he slipped back into a coma, spiking a dangerous fever that threatened his life again.

Perhaps because of the fever, when he woke up, his memories were all jumbled. It felt like he'd forgotten someone really important.

Every now and then, bits and pieces would flash in his mind-a vague silhouette-but he'd never managed to see the face clearly, so he had no idea who it was.
