Chapter 693: We Are Home
Terrence had already prepared himself mentally. If Meredith appeared but didn't come home, there must be a reason she couldn't explain. However, when he heard those words and saw the unfamiliarity in Meredith's eyes, Terrence couldn't suppress his emotions.
"I am Terrence, Terrence Sterling, your husband. Meredith, it's okay if you don't remember; you'll recall everything slowly," Terrence said, holding back his sorrow as he comforted Meredith. "I'm sorry I didn't protect you." Audrey was about to speak when Terrence embraced her again, expressing his longing. "Meredith, I missed you so much."
In front of her, he was never the high-and-mighty CEO; he was just her husband.
Audrey hesitated but said nothing. After Terrence calmed down, she finally spoke. "Mr. Sterling, you truly love your wife. I'm sure she loves you too."
"You are my wife," Terrence said, gripping her shoulders. "Meredith, come home with me. The security said you came home. I've been looking for you. I thought I'd never see you again. I even doubted my own sanity. But you're real; you're my wife, and you're back."
While everyone else doubted, Terrence's uncertainty also grew. But now he was sure-Meredith had returned.
Audrey looked at the man before her and felt a pang in her heart.
"Meredith, let's go home; it's cold outside." Terrence happily took her hand; it was cold to the touch.
Terrence warmed her hand with his own. "Now it won't be cold."
It was the first time Audrey felt cared for by a man, and an unusual feeling swept through her heart.
Terrence brought Audrey home. When they arrived at Ravenwood, the Sterling family was shocked.
It was Meredith standing before them.
Grandma Sterling leaned on her cane, tears welling up as she looked at Audrey. "Meredith, is it really you? You're alive."
Stella was also excited. "Meredith, since you're okay, why didn't you come back? Where have you been these past months?" Julian was curious too. "Yeah, Meredith, why didn't you come home?"
Seeing everyone's questions, Terrence said, "Meredith is tired; let her rest first."
He couldn't bear to see his beloved suffer.
Despite their many questions, the others wisely refrained from asking more.
Terrence was overjoyed at his wife's return; nothing else mattered as long as she was back.
He took Audrey upstairs to rest and told her not to be too nervous before going downstairs to wash some fruit for her. The family watched as Terrence busied himself for Audrey.
When he finally stopped, Grandma Sterling called him over and asked, "Terry, why does Meredith seem not to recognize us?"
Stella added, "Did Meredith say where she's been these past months?"
Terrence sat down and explained to everyone. "Meredith was injured back then; it must have affected her head, which is why she doesn't remember us. She goes by Audrey now. But she isn't completely without memory-she knew where home was and told me she followed memories in her mind to get here. She came home yesterday; that's why I said she's already home."

Hearing this explanation put everyone at ease.
"As long as she's okay," Grandma Sterling sighed in relief. "A head injury is no big deal as long as she's back."
Stella agreed. "Yes, yes! As long as she's alive, Rowan has a mother again."
Julian was also happy. "It's fine if she doesn't remember; she's still our Meredith."
Grandma Sterling suggested, "Terry, take Rowan to see Meredith; maybe it'll help her remember something."
Little Lucky was still napping; Terrence planned to take her to see Audrey once she woke up.
Upstairs in the room,
Audrey stood on the balcony overlooking the entire front yard of Ravenwood. The yard was beautiful-truly befitting a wealthy family.
She touched her chest and softly said, "I'm home."
Her voice was so light that it dissipated with the wind-a murmur to herself or perhaps a message to someone else.
