Chapter 815

Anastasia's heart skipped a beat. "Did you remember something?"

Herman looked thoughtful. "You bought me bubble tea once, didn't you? I remember the taste. It's so familiar."

A shadow flickered across Anastasia's eyes. In the end, he really had forgotten her.

She remembered what the girl at the bubble tea shop had said that day and nodded. "Yeah, I did. You said it was your first time trying bubble tea."

He looked at her, sincere. "Would you... buy me another one?"

Swallowing the bittersweet feeling, Anastasia managed a smile. "Of course!"

In the days that followed, she stuck by him, trying everything she could think of to bring back his memories, but nothing worked.
