Chapter 4 New Life

Jacob sat in his office, taking out some papers from a drawer. That was the identity of the other girl: Samantha Iris.

He looked at the photo on her ID. The face is nothing special, just in a good-looking form. The special thing is those eyes, clear eyes that make others love, eyes that belong to her, no one can change.

Clear eyes? In his world, would those eyes still be the same as they are now?

"Do some documents and bring them to me tomorrow," Jacob said into the phone.

He looked at the documents for a moment and then threw them away.

Elise John, the name is also meaningful. But can your life be like that name?

Many days later...

The sun peeked out from behind the eastern bushes. The golden rays of sunlight gently pierced through the leaves, gently awakening all things from a deep sleep. The tree leaves whisper to wake up to greet the dawn. The glittering dewdrops reflect the sun, like sparkling pearls. Small birds chirping in the trees on both sides of the road.

The clear blue sky and white clouds are all symbols of a new beginning. The beginnings of yesterday are past endings. It is difficult for some of us to think that the blue sky is a blue color of happiness because not everyone can receive the luck of happiness. Therefore, the sky will be a very different blue for each person. For her, after she was discharged from the hospital, everything was still the same. But somewhere in her heart, she felt like a very new day, a new life...

"Miss! It is about time, let's go!" The driver helped her turn around and said.

"Okay, thank you! Sorry to trouble you so much."

"It's my pleasure. You're still weak. Let me do it."

"Isn't he coming?" She's been looking for him ever since she packed up her things.

The driver looked at her shyly. He can't understand why Mr. Jacob is so selfish. Until now she still naively believes that that man is her support."

"Sorry miss but he's very busy. Let me take you home first."

"I... It seems... He doesn't like me, doesn't he?" Samantha bowed her head and said.

"There's no way. It's just that the master is too busy. Please don't worry about that." The driver was extremely sad.

"Is my relationship with him like this before?" She was curious.

"Actually... Everything is fine. Well, let's go, chop-chop!"

The driver carried her things to the car and urged her. Samantha put her worries aside and quickly followed him. She didn't want others to wait for her.

Samantha opened the door and sat in the back row, silently saying nothing. The driver did not know what to say, he just focused on his work.

She put her hand close to the car window, watching the scene running backward.

Everything has become so foreign to her. Jacob is the only person she feels confident about. He is the lifeline she wants to cling to. With her, living without knowing who you are, and how to relate to others is a scary thing.

What he said, she didn't completely believe, but still used it as a basis to ease her confusion.

The car stopped in front of a large building, it seemed that Jacob was a rich man. She could also recognize him from the beginning through his clothes and behavior.

She stood like heaven in front of that big building. In her heart, she felt that this place was completely foreign, there was no "home" feeling as he said.

"Miss! Let's go inside."

The driver took the luggage and went in first to guide her. She could only follow, looking around as she walked. Her eyes sparkled with surprise as if she were discovering a new land.

This place is so beautiful. On both sides of the road leading to the building are carefully cared-for flower gardens. Extremely carefully fertilized rose bushes blooming in the sunlight. In the distance is a small artificial lake, inside there is also a fake rockery, she thinks that there is a place to raise fish.

The large building in front has a classic European style. On the left side, there is a shady tree of ivy, which seems to be a place to drink tea, which can also be an ideal outdoor working place.

She still followed the driver step by step. The building was so big but it seemed that there were no people, she was a bit confused. Or maybe Jacob didn't like having outsiders living in the house. So... what about his family?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt tense. She has too many unknowns about him. Or was she just forgetting all, so she feels this way?

The driver stopped in front of a room. He put down the luggage and opened the door for her.

"Miss! This is your room."

"Is this the room I used to stay in?" She asked.

"Ah... yes." The driver was a little embarrassed.

She went inside. Probably her room. There are many pictures on the wall, all of which are "her", but why doesn't she have any familiarity like this.

She stared at a magnified picture on the wall. Apparently the same face with her right now but as if she were looking at someone else, she couldn't explain it herself.

Suddenly, the sound startled her to turn around. The driver had already placed her things in the room.

"Leave it to me. I'll arrange it myself."

"Then... you just go rest first. When you feel better, then arrange it later."

"I see. Thank you." She smiled lightly. That alone was enough to make others fall in love.

"So... Excuse me!"

"See you soon!" She bowed politely.

Closing the door behind her, she looked around once more. The same strange feeling occupied her mind, there was no safety or warmth she could feel from this place.
