Chapter 120: Do You Like Her Very Much?
Arianna went back to the main mansion with them. When the car stopped, there was already a stretcher waiting outside the window, and the doctor hurriedly followed.
After they had just placed Vince steady, a pink shadow flew to him and hugged him, “Darling, why are you so careless?”
Arianna stood a few meters away and saw the woman’s angel appearance and devil figure. She was a stunning beauty.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
But Vince’s reaction was too much in contrast with her enthusiasm. He only said a word faintly, “Rebecca.”
Rebecca was, in the legend, Vince’s friend since childhood, personal assistant, and suspected girlfriend.

Arianna did cause the pain in Vince’s leg. He moved fiercely and was soaked in cold water, which made his old disease relapse.
Arianna thought old Lady Johnson would not spare her this time, but after she said “sorry” to the old lady, Lady Johnson was still carrying an aggressive tone, just there was no sign of causing trouble to her. The old Lady Johnson said, “Did you make him go there? Did you push him into the water? You didn’t. So, what do you apologize for?”
Lady Johnson was more interested in another thing, “I heard that you have been with him today, huh?” She looked at Arianna sharply. Arianna immediately felt that the sofa she was sitting on became a trial seat.
After more than five minutes of being looked at by the old lady, Arianna finally found the right time to propose that she should go home.
“I have asked your father to talk about things. He should have already come. You may wish to go home with him. Now, do you want to see Vince?”
“I don’t want to bother Mr. Johnson while he needs to rest.”
“Then go to the flower house and walk, the flowers are beautiful there. Zenon!”
Before Arianna could refuse, the white-haired butler had already appeared and said, “Miss, please come with me.”
Arianna lost her good feeling about the old lady again.
In the flower house, she only found one thing. Under the shade of green leaves, the flowers in the greenhouse were all white.
“That’s Master Johnson’s favorite color.” The butler shrugged. “He doesn’t like colorful things.”
“Since he was born?”
“No. A long time ago, he gradually began to dislike other colors. Nobody knows why.”
Arianna vaguely remembered some data that said white flowers were the most aromatic in the same variety of flowers. And suddenly, a familiar voice was striking her eardrum, saying, “Have you heard this before? When everyone is born, there will be someone in the world who looks exactly like him…”
Arianna covered her ears.
At the same time, in the bright study room, Lady Johnson said to York, “I’d like your daughter Arianna to come to talk to me for a while every day.”
“The child is stubborn. She doesn’t talk much and does not understand the rules here. I’m afraid she will bring much trouble to you.”
“That’s alright. I like quiet and stubborn children, and I am also very willing to teach the girl some rules.” The old lady waved to
stop his further rejection. York reluctantly retreated.
When York and his daughter walked out of the mansion, Vince was standing at the window looking down.
Arianna had been walking behind her father, but the dog raised by Lady Johnson moved behind her and used its nose to lick her calf. She turned back and made a move to pretend she would kick the puppy, and then she ran all the way back to the front of York and turned to see if the dog was following them. She was like a child.
Vince smiled. Rebecca, who was standing behind him, came forward and asked, “Do you like her very much?”
“I think she is very funny.”
Vince watched the father and daughter drift away, slowly turn around, and was hugged by Rebecca. Rebecca put her head on his chest and said, “You know that I can’t walk away, but you came back without notice. You are so bad. You didn’t like this place before.”
Vince pulled back slightly, keeping a little distance from her, and he said, “But now I begin to like it. How are things going?”
“Henry Johnson almost got a heart attack because of you.”
“He couldn’t even take two sentences from me? Well, he is too weak.”
“He regrets having underestimated you.” Rebecca stepped forward and held Vince, who was jumping forward with one foot. “What are you going to take? I will help you.”
“I’ll do it by myself.” Vince gently pushed away from her hand, jumped to the table, picked up a bottle of water that had already been opened, threw it into the trash can, and took a bottle of unopened water. Then he sat down on the chair, put the newly injured foot on another leg, and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
There was only one chair at that table. Rebecca had to sit far away from him. She said, “The doctor reminded you of no intense action. How can you be so careless today? Is it painful?”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s better than feeling completely unaware.”
“The air here is good. You look much better than before.”
Vince nodded and stopped talking.
After stopping for a long time, Rebecca stood up and said, “I found some of your previous videos. When you have time, take a look.”
Vince smiled, “You recorded a lot of pictures for me as if you knew that I would lose memory one day.”
“Bullshit.” Rebecca hurriedly said.
“Just kidding, please don’t mind. When I look at those videos, I find them very interesting. Sometimes it looks like a person who is exactly like me is playing me, and at other times it looks like I am playing another person myself. Why do you think I need to look at the previous things?”
“I thought you would want to know what you were like before and hope to restore your memory.”
“You know, the doctor said that my memory can’t be recovered.”
“You should believe that there is a miracle in this world.”
“I hope so. I have already created one, so I am still alive.” Vince walked to the other side of the bed, slowly lying down, closing his eyes. “I want to take a break. Remember to lock the door for me when you go out. Thank you.”
