Dr. Larson dismissed the idea, saying, “The staff here are on my payroll, but that doesn’t include feeding me three times daily. As for assistants, I’ve found none suitable; I’ve even deterred several, and there have been no applicants Lately.”

Openly discussing the matter with Ariana, he admitted, “My son and I had a disagreement over minor data, and he went abroad in a huff. Youngsters these days crave independence.”
Upon hearing that, Ariana was momentarily at a loss for words.

bags out, and refrained from probing into any matters regarding Sadie.
While she was disposing of the garbage, her phone rang; it was Holden calling.
“Where are you now?” Holden asked.
“I’m at the cosmetic hospital. What’s up?” Ariana replied.
“Do you have a moment? I’ll come to get you, and we can go to Anderson Mansion together,” Holden said.
“Anderson Mansion?” Ariana was surprised. “Wasn’t it sold at an auction?”
Holden chuckled over the phone. “Yeah, but it was actually my grandfather who bought it. Devin held onto the keys for a while and then handed them over to me. I’ve got some spare time today, so I figured I would drop by to see if there’s anything that could bring back my lost memories.”
Ariana paused, pondering over her mixed feelings about the Anderson mansion. She knew Holden’s memories of the place were far from joyful.
Nevertheless, she quickly responded, “Alright, come pick me up. I’ll send you the address.”
It was ultimately Holden’s decision. Ariana felt she shouldn’t stop him from uncovering the truth like Aldus. Besides, Holden was eager to remember everything, and she felt it was her role to support him.

About twenty minutes after ending the call, Holden showed up.
He and Ariana went together to the Anderson mansion. As Ariana got out of the car and gazed at the worn-down building, she was swept by a wave of nostalgia associated with a hint of sorrow.
The entrance to the mansion was overrun with weeds. The once well-tended rose wall was now merely a bare framework, and the fallen leaves remained untouched on the ground.
As Ariana and Holden walked onto the property, Ariana reminisced about her early days here, when the mansion exuded an atmosphere of wealth, though not as great as the Fredrick estate. It was always lively, with gardeners cleaning the yard and roses that bloomed vibrantly.
Now, everything was different. The Anderson family had lost their status; their once flourishing prosperity felt like a distant, hollow memory. Even the person beside her, Theodore, was a mere shadow of his former self.
Holden, giving Ariana’s hand a reassuring squeeze, finally said, “Let’s go inside.”
He unlocked the door, and they entered the overgrown garden. The iron furniture was rusted, the fountain was filled with dead leaves and dust, and the pipes gave off a stale odor of decay.
Standing by the fountain, Ariana asked Holden, “Does any of this seem familiar? Does it bring back any memories?”
Holden shook his head.
Seeing that Holden wasn’t in a good mood, Ariana offered a soft smile. “Don’t worry about it. It’s okay if you can’t remember anything.”
They continued to walk, with Ariana somewhat relieved that Holden didn’t remember much.
