But this was his first time actually stepping foot here.
As he followed the search team, moving step by step through the dense forest, images flashed in his mind of the painting he had once seen in the Vincent Family's studio, created by Garrett Vincent.
In that painting, a petite girl carried a small boy on her back, walking through a thick forest.
The girl's back was bent low, struggling under the boy's weight. Yet, even with the hardship, she pushed forward, step by step, refusing to stop.
When he had first seen that painting, it hadn't meant much.
But now, if he imagined Rachel and Garrett Vincent in those roles, his heart began to race.
What was he really afraid of? Was it that no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't cut the bond between her and Garrett Vincent?
Or was it that deep down, Garrett Vincent would always hold a place in her heart?
Even if she had forgotten him now, what if one day she remembered everything?
