As there was no answer, Kendall asked curiously instead, "Well, the twelve-year-old Shane also treats you pretty..." Charlotte coughed loudly and interjected, "Kendall, do you want to experiment on Rick?"

"I'd like to, but I can't possibly knock him out just like that..."

She would like to?

Charlotte began to pray for Rick. She hoped that Kendall was just fantasising and did not plan to truly execute it.

Not a while later, Avery came back. He then walked to Charlotte's side and said, "I've already found Augustus, so we' re left with one final problem now. Do we want to find someone to take up Heidi's role?" Charlotte was startled by his words. She pushed him aside and asked, "It was difficult enough to find Augustus. Why do you think bringing Heidi into this will be a good idea? What if you get exposed?" "That won't happen. I've already had everything planned out. Shane and Augustus have been friends for many years, right? Well, my brother likes fishing so obviously they would go do that together. He also likes to play chess, and collect antiques. Oh! And he loves cake, he has a particular favourite flavour for it. Fortunately, I was able to ask around and got the recipe for it," Avery said, looking away. 'Avery, are you alright?" Charlotte asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I just recalled when I was younger, my brother and I were very close. We only drifted apart after Shane appeared. Now, he doesn't even think about me twice. I've actually forgotten about this and that fellow's existence. I don't know what to do with this memory..."

"Well, your brother is a very powerful man." Charlotte tried to come up with something to say after that. "He's probably made a lot of enemies..."

"I understand what you' re trying to say, but I honestly don't want to take revenge anymore. I'm sick of all this. Even if we do resolve the issue with the Stevens Family, I won't get any joy out of it. What's more, Irena came back to me. I still have Olive with me, so my life finally has a purpose now. I'm just thinking about how Shane would deal with all of this once he recovers his memories. Perhaps he's already forgotten my brother, just like I did."

Charlotte gazed silently at Shane.

'Shane definitely did not forget who Augustus was, he would never. He was willing to remain twelve forever which was enough to show everyone just how important Augustus was in his mind,' she thought. Avery seemed to have arrived at the same conclusion after some thought as well. He looked up and muttered to himself, "But if he really forgot my brother, he wouldn't want to stay twelve, right?" As Shane was still 'pretending' to be sick, most of the official business was handled by Charlotte. Whenever he was free, Charlotte wouldn't let him look at any of the documents and would just throw him in front of the piano.

"I feel like I was probably forced to practise the piano when I was younger." Shane sat in front of the piano and shook his head helplessly.

"It doesn't matter. Your main priority now is to gain some of your muscle memory back. You can do that by practising the piano all day, I'm sure it'll help."

"But I really don't think this is necessary."

"Your piano teacher says otherwise."
