He paused, then added, “Perhaps you veiled her existence well during that time, and these pages of
your past remained largely unturned.”
Holden maintained a stoic silence, offering no rebuttal to Devin’s words.
His desire to unearth the truth had taken root like a gnawing hunger.
In the past, he had been content to let his memories lie dormant, heeding his grandfather’s counsel
that the past was a ship long sailed.
An unsettling feeling gnawed at Holden, unlike any he had experienced before. The hunger to unravel
the mysteries of yesteryears ate at him with a relentlessness he couldn’t ignore. For the first time, he
felt that he would lose himself if he didn’t know his past.
He remained in contemplative silence for a moment before finally saying, “Devin, I want you to seek out
a psychologist for me. I wish I could reclaim the fragments of my memory from five years ago.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDevin’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, as he wondered if Holden had stumbled upon some
truth.
However, he refrained from prying further and merely acquiesced, feigning ignorance of any
momentous revelations.
At that very moment, Holden’s phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. He glanced at the screen
and answered. Melon’s voice on the other end greeted him, “Daddy!”

Holden was momentarily taken aback but responded tenderly, “Melon, what’s the matter?”
Melon proceeded to explain that he was currently in a summer camp, offering insights into his
experiences there.
Holden had been wondering about the whereabouts of Melon the previous night, and now he knew that
the boy was engaged in a children’s summer retreat.
Following a brief conversation, Holden discerned a shift in Melon’s demeanor. The boy’s voice quivered
as though he struggled to keep his emotions in check.
Brow furrowing with concern, Holden asked, “Melon, has something untoward occurred at the summer
camp?”
“Daddy, when are you coming back?” Melon’s voice grew muffled, and distress colored his words.
“The other kids at the camp, they all have fathers, and they mock me, saying I don’t have one!”
Holden, attuned to the slight tremor in Melon’s voice, felt his heartstrings tug. Seeking to console the
youngster, he said, “Daddy shall return soon. He is here with you.”
With a skillful touch, Holden succeeded in mollifying Melon’s unease, concluding the call with a heavy
heart.
Listening to this exchange, Devin found himself in a befuddled state of mind. Apart from Adele, who
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas this child calling him Daddy? And it appeared that Holden had grown quite accustomed to it.
After ending the call, Holden sank into a chair, lost in contemplation, his face contorted.
Devin looked at the time and remarked, “Sir, ‘tis time to prepare for the impending meeting.”
Startled from his reverie, Holden donned his coat, his countenance burdened with concern, as he
replied, “Tell Shawn to represent me in the meeting. I have pressing matters to attend to.” With that, he
grabbed his car keys and left.
Devin found himself trailing behind, struggling to keep pace with Holden’s swift departure.
Meanwhile, at the children’s summer camp, youngsters frolicked on the verdant lawn. Melon, relegated
to the sidelines, cast wistful glances at their merriment, yearning to partake in their activities.
