Chapter 714: She is Not Meredith
Mrs. Wilkinson said happily, "Your sister is coming back, and this time she's staying for good."
Elsa immediately realized that Selene was out of prison. Once Selene returned, Elsa would feel invisible in the family, and Harvey would pay even less attention to her. Elsa suppressed her emotions and asked with a smile, "Mom, when is she coming back? That's wonderful; the family can be reunited."
"The day after tomorrow," Mr. Wilkinson said as he walked over. "We've decided to hold a welcome-back party for your sister on the first of next month. There's still half a month left; we have enough time."
The day after tomorrow? So soon? Elsa was unhappy but had to pretend to be excited on the surface. "I can finally see my sister again. We must organize a great party for her return." Seeing Elsa being so understanding, Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson were very pleased.
Meanwhile, in prison, John personally delivered the news to Selene. Learning that she was being released early, Selene felt a surge of joy and immediately thought of her promise with Harvey. "John, can you do me a favor?" Selene asked. "Tell Harvey about this news."
John understood but was also surprised. He didn't say much. "Sure, I'll let him know."
If it was Selene's choice, he would support it. John had already forgotten how he had once opposed Elsa's affection for Harvey. But when it came to Selene, he remained silent.
Selene felt anxious. It had been so long; maybe Harvey had forgotten their promise or found someone else he liked.
"John," she added, "don't tell him just yet. First, see if there's another woman around him. If there is, then don't say anything."
Seeing his sister being so cautious made John feel heartbroken. "Sarah, don't worry. If Harvey dares to cheat on you, I'll break his legs."
Selene panicked. "John..."
John laughed and said, "Just kidding." But deep down, he wasn't joking at all. If Harvey really changed his heart, John would definitely beat him up.
"If he really has someone else," Selene said, "then it means we're not meant to be together. He visited me before and we made a promise: if he comes when I'm released from prison, I'll accept his pursuit." She wanted to be brave for once.
John encouraged her, "He will definitely come."

If he dared not come, he'd break his legs.
While having dinner at a restaurant with Terrence, Harvey sneezed several times.
Terrence said, "If you're sick, go to the hospital."
Harvey quickly replied, "I'm not sick; someone must be cursing me behind my back. Boss, why did you think of having dinner with me today? Not spending time with your wife?"
Terrence raised an eyebrow slightly. "I invite you for dinner and you still can't keep your mouth shut?"
Harvey laughed. "I'm just curious. You keep such a close watch on Meredith; isn't she tired of you yet?"
Harvey said it casually but Terrence frowned because he remembered that Audrey had indeed been cold towards him recently.
Seeing Terrence's expression change, Harvey said, "Boss, you can't be that sensitive. Fine, I won't say anything more."
"I've been reflecting on this too," Terrence said. "Am I being too strict with Meredith? After her accident, she has no friends left-Azure and Reese are forgotten by her too. She used to have people at the company to talk with; now she only has Rowan."
Terrence spent time with Audrey as well but she seemed not to need him much anymore. That sense of distance frustrated him.
"Harvey," Terrence continued, "why can't Meredith fall in love with me again? Why does she still have no feelings for me?" He couldn't understand it-she was the one who wanted to be his Meredith and Rowan's mother but always pushed him away whenever they got close.
Harvey was stunned. "No way! Any woman would fall for you! Back in the day, countless women wanted to climb into your bed but either got thrown out or blacklisted in the industry..."
Harvey rambled on: "You and Meredith even have a daughter together! Even if she doesn't remember everything, it shouldn't stop her from feeling something for you! You've been alone together for half a year without any spark? That's not normal! If it were before, wouldn't Meredith be clinging to you every night? Amnesia shouldn't change someone entirely... unless this isn't Meredith."
Not Meredith...
Though Harvey spoke without much thought, Terrence took it seriously and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
