"Mhm hmm. Please don't tell anyone about this, Jermaine," said Lenora.

If, by chance, someone took advantage of Lenora's amnesia to get close to her, she would be utterly incapable

of discerning it.

It was only because she trusted Ezekiel that she revealed the truth to Jermaine.

Jermaine was also aware of the stakes involved and responded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely not spill the beans. If

anyone asks in the future, just say it's been quite a few years and you've pretty much forgotten it all." "Okay."

Jermaine began to reintroduce her to Fairlake, pointing out the museums, the City Hall, and even the Fairlake

Clusiatown at Clusian Street.

Upon reaching the hotel, Lenora communicated with the front desk receptionist and received the room card.

Then, she took the suitcase from Jermaine's hand. "It's quite late. You should head back first, Jermaine."

"I can spare the time. I'll take you up there." Jermaine personally escorted Lenora to her room, reminding her to

lock the door at night.

"You should head back now, Jermaine. If anything comes up tomorrow, I'll give you a call."

"All right, I'll be off then. We'll talk more tomorrow. I'll take you for a stroll around Clusiatown. It's a great place

for dining and shopping."

"All right, thanks."

""No need to seeout."

She watched Jermaine disappear into the elevator before closing the door behind her. She sighed heavily,

opened her suitcase, and began to tidy up her things.

She ordered dinner through the hotel's landline and placed it on the table by the window. As she ate, she video-

called Sophia.

Her life in Fairlake was about to begin.

Lenora was utterly exhausted after a day and night's worth of flying, coupled with the layover in between. After

having a meal and a quick bath, she went straight to sleep.

The next morning, Lenora woke up naturally around eight. After having breakfast at the hotel, she reached out to

Jermaine.

Jermaine took Lenora to Fairlake's Clusiatown.

The Fairlake Clusiatown Archway stood tall at the intersection of Tenth Street and Archway Street, which Lenora

noticed immediately upon getting out of the car.

As Jermaine parked the car, Lenora lifted her gaze to survey the area. The buildings and facilities appeared

somewhat antiquated, reminiscent of the untouched city centers in certain towns.

Many Clusiatowns in various locations originated from a small shop run by Clusian people. They gradually

expanded into the surrounding arcas, eventually forming a Clusian business district. That was exactly the case

with Fairlake Clusiatown.

In that area, there were numerous Clusian restaurants, along with sThymion and Venrian ones. Additionally,

there were supermarkets and shopping centers run by fellow Clusians, making it easier to purchase everyday

items commonly used by their kin.

In their simple interactions, Lenora soon realized that Jermaine was far more hospitable and sociable than

Ezekiel. Wherever they went, Jermaine would share detailed life experiences with Lenora. For instance, he would

point out which store offered more affordable sauce and condiments or which supermarket had a more

comprehensive range of daily necessities.

At noon, Jermaine invited Lenora to a barbecue restaurant in Clusiatown for a meal.

After finishing their meal, Jermaine took Lenora for a tour around the university area.

Passing by a university entrance, Jermaine pointed. "This is Pillere University, where you were studying back

then."

Lenora gazed out through the car window.

The main campus of Pillere University didn't share the meticulous layout of Hervon University or Hervon

University. Instead, it blended more freely with the surrounding community. It wasn't difficult to see that the

campus was dominated by Gothic-style architecture. The striking red brick walls contrasted with lush green

plants to create a uniquely beautiful aesthetic. After touring the area, Jermaine took Lenora to several renowned

attractions in Fairlake, including the City Hall, the Hall of Independence, the Freedom Bell Center, and the

Museum of Art.

They had dinner at an Epean restaurant located near the Ritzford Square, which was conveniently close to the

hotel Lenora was staying at.

As the day passed, Lenora and Jermaine becquite familiar with each other, chatting away as they dined.

Just then, a woman's voice rang out. "Adonis!"

Lenora simply assumed the woman was calling someone else.

Jermaine, however, put down his knife and fork, turning toward the source of the voice.

Lenora also turned around and saw a stylish young woman approaching their dining table.

It took a few seconds before Lenora realized that Adonis was Jermaine's Uprian nickname.

The woman had a strikingly sculpted face with deep-se eyes of an icy blue hue. She was as beautiful as a Barbie

doll, yet her expression was far from friendly. She fixed her gaze on Jermaine, pointing at Lenora, and asked,

"Who is she?" Upon hearing the tone of her voice, Lenora knew that the woman shared a deep connection with

Jermaine.

Jermaine smiled and spoke in Uprian. "Bella, don't get the wrong idea. She's a friend of Alex's. She just arrived in

Fairlake yesterday, and Alex askedto look after her."

Lenora immediately realized that Alex must be Ezekiel's Uprian nickname.

He moved a bit further in, making room for Bella to sit and gesturing for her to settle down. "I didn't expect you

to be here. Letintroduce you two to each other. This is my girlfriend, Bella, and this is Alex's friend..."

Jermaine turned to Lenora and asked in Uprian, "What's your Uprian nickname?"

With a warm smile, Lenora spoke in fluent Uprian. "Hello, my Uprian nicknis Fay. | arrived in Fairlake

yesterday. Alex asked Adonis to helpsettle down here. To express my gratitude, I'm treating him to dinner

tonight." Bella cast a few doubtful glances at Lenora. "You are a friend of Alex?"

"Mhm hmm." Lenora nodded.

Jermaine tugged gently at Bella's sleeve. "Sit?"

Bella took a seat next to Jermaine, her gaze still fixed on Lenora.

Lenora asked, "Ms. Bella, would you liketo order a steak for you?"

Bella didn't respond. Instead, she said, "You remindof a friend | had."

Noticing Bella had already put away her hostility toward her, Lenora casually asked, "Oh? Is she also Clusian?"

"Yeah, it was several years ago. She was an exchange student at Pillere University. She only stayed for a year

before returning to Clusia, and we lost touch," Bella lamented. "She knew Alex too."

However, knowing Ezekiel could not be considered as a confirmation of one's identity.

As the president of the Clusian Association, Ezekiel held a certain social standing in Fairlake. He was well-

acquainted with the city and could assist the local Clusian community in overcoming difficulties. As a result,

most of the Clusians in the area were familiar with Ezekiel.

Ezekiel told Lenora that, back then, when she headed to Clusiatown for a meal, the owner of a Clusian restaurant

added her to a local Clusian Whatgroup, and that was how she met Ezekiel. Later on, Lenora casually

mentioned that incident to him. However, Lenora couldn't remember that incident and didn't believe Bella was

talking about her.

Every year, students from all over Clusia would cto study at Pillere University. Those included government-

sponsored students, exchange students, undergraduates, postgraduates, and doctoral students. The number

was certainly not small. Besides, it was challenging for members of one race to accurately differentiate the faces

of another race, so smistakes were to be expected.
