Chapter 623: Fell into the Trap
Terrence wished he could bring his daughter back immediately. He put down the binoculars, donned the mask he had bought earlier, and left the hotel. Reginald had gone to the old house in Nichigawa, while Terrence waited for an opportunity.
Throughout the journey, Little Lucky remained quiet. Upon reaching their destination, Reginald placed her in a stroller and pushed it himself, never letting her out of his sight. This frustrated Terrence, who couldn't find an opportunity and had to stop outside Nichigawa.
Reginald entered the village with his men to reclaim the old house. Meanwhile, in Auroraville, Selene was waiting for the person spying on her to appear. She knew she was being watched but that person hadn't shown up yet.
John Wilkinson checked the building opposite as Selene instructed but found nothing suspicious. He remained cautious, worried about Selene's safety. As night fell, Selene checked the time, put on a mask, and went out for a walk without taking her car. She wandered around the neighborhood before heading to a nearby supermarket.
After shopping, she didn't rush back but sat on a bench by the river where few people were walking. Pretending to tie her shoelaces, she sensed someone behind her and instinctively dodged an attack.
"Quick reflexes," said a woman's voice. The attacker wore a mask and had disguised herself. Selene recognized her and was about to strike when the woman said, "Selene, it's me, Hya."
Hya removed her mask. "You don't remember me because your memory was erased. I stole this antidote from headquarters; take it and your memory will gradually return." She took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket. Selene didn't take it and said expressionlessly, "Why should I trust you? You've been watching me from that building across the street."
"It's me," Hya admitted. "You must trust me, Selene. You can distrust everyone else but not me. I would never harm you. I thought you could live a normal life without your memory, but I didn't expect you to fall into John Wilkinson's hands. Master ordered your death to silence you. You're in great danger; many have been sent to track you down. You need to remember quickly."
Hya urgently handed the medicine to Selene. "Trust me; I won't harm you." Her eyes were sincere, worried that Selene wouldn't believe her.
Selene hesitantly took the medicine but didn't drink it immediately. "You're also from Celestial Alliance; why are you helping me?"
"I told you before; you're the most important person in my life. Drink this and you'll remember." Hya's eyes showed deep emotion as she reached out to touch Selene's face, but Selene avoided her.
Whether she had her memory or not, Selene couldn't accept Hya's feelings. However, she knew she needed to regain her memory for those who had helped her recently, including John Wilkinson.
"I trust you," Selene said as she opened the bottle and drank all of it. The antidote was liquid and she had to drink it all.
Moments later, Selene felt like she was burning from inside out and experienced severe abdominal pain.
"Selene, what's happening?" Hya asked nervously as she saw Selene's pale face.
"My abdomen hurts; my whole body feels like it's on fire," Selene replied weakly.
Hya was stunned. "How can this be? This is supposed to be the antidote I stole from Celestial Alliance headquarters."
As soon as she finished speaking, assassins from Celestial Alliance surrounded them. Leading them was Lia, an assassin of the same rank as Selene.

"Hya," Lia said coldly, "Master Reginald knew you'd betray him. You think you stole the real antidote? That was prepared specifically for Selene by Master Reginald because he knew you'd find her and try to silence her yourself." Lia continued indifferently, "Hya, Selene, come back with us to Celestial Alliance."
Hearing this, Hya's face changed dramatically as she supported Selene with guilt in her eyes. "Selene, I'm sorry."
Selene's abdominal pain intensified as cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
Furious now, Hya yelled at their attackers: "If you want us back, you'll have to fight for it." She then pushed Selene away urgently: "Run! Don't look back!"
