Chapter 903 Are You Guys Scammers?

After half an hour of worrying about his mother, Jay's patience had completely run out. He tugged on Bryce's sleeve.

"I want to see Olivia," he said firmly, with a look in his eyes that made it clear he wouldn't take no for an answer. For a moment, Bryce saw the same determination in Jay that he used to see in Jimmy when they were kids.

"He hasn't finished talking to your mom yet. We can't disturb him," Bryce replied with a smile.

"Boohoo..." Suddenly, Jay burst into tears and even wiped his snot and tears all over Bryce's expensive clothes.

"Don't cry," Bryce said helplessly as he fumbled for some tissues, completely oblivious to the mischievous glint in Jay's eye.

"You're a bad man! You're kidnapping me! That's against the law! I'm going to tell the police!" Jay accused through sobs and sniffling.

Bryce sighed deeply; there was no way around it. "Okay, I'll take you to replace them."

As soon as his goal was achieved, Jay immediately wiped away his tears and put on a sunny smile that belied how sad he had been just moments before.

"If you break your promise again, Uncle, I'll cry again," warned Jay with a pouty mouth that looked like he could burst into tears at any moment again if provoked enough.

"Don't cry anymore; let's go replace your mom now." Defeated by Jay's tears once more, Bryce quickly took hold of Jay's hand and led him next door.

Jay impatiently pounded on Olivia's door. "Olivia! It's me, Jay, open up!"

Olivia had been locked in confrontation with Jimmy but upon hearing her son's voice she breathed out relief.

"Let me see my son," demanded Olivia before Jimmy hesitantly opened the door.

Finally seeing his mother after so long made little boy happy beyond words.

Olivia looked at her son up and down making sure there were no injuries or harm done before finally breaking into a gentle smile.

"I'll go investigate," Bryce said, understanding Jimmy's meaning as soon as he saw his gaze fall on him. He turned and left the room.

Just as Olivia was preparing to leave with her son, Jimmy once again stood in their way. "I don't believe there could be someone so similar in this world, so... Bryce is going to investigate. You can wait here for a bit," Jimmy spoke calmly and emotionlessly, but his eyes remained fixed on Olivia without blinking.

Olivia furrowed her brows. "If it turns out that I'm not the person you're looking for, I hope you won't bother me and Jay anymore and let us leave immediately."

At Olivia's request, Jimmy frowned slightly before finally responding after a long pause. "Okay."

Upon hearing his promise, Olivia sat down with her son on the nearby couch.

Knowing they wouldn't try to escape now, Jimmy called hotel services to bring some snacks and fruit over along with a toy for Jay.

As time passed by minute by minute, Jimmy kept fixing his eyes on the mother and son.

An hour later Bryce finally returned.

Olivia approached him while holding her son. "Can you please tell your friend that I am not who he's looking for? I'm taking Jay to the bathroom."

Bryce looked at them with complex emotions flickering across his eyes before settling on Jimmy who had clasped his hands together tightly; he felt nervousness creeping up inside him - even eager - wanting nothing more than an answer right now.

"She goes by Olivia; she has been living here with her son named Jay for almost five years," Bryce said finally.

Hearing those few words caused something inside Jimmy's heart to clench painfully; there was a hint of sorrow deep within those eyes which were usually calm.

So it turned out everything was just wishful thinking on his part; she wasn't Anna after all.

"Jimmy, listen to me," Bryce quickly interjected when he saw how much pain was etched into Jimmy's expression.

"Hurry up then," urged an impatient Jimmy

"She was rescued by an elderly couple at the beach while pregnant, and gave birth to her child here. Life was tough, but she worked hard to provide a better life for her child. She worked multiple jobs every day, and in all these years, no man had ever been intimate with them."

Bryce took a deep breath and told Jimmy everything he had found out from his investigation.

The pain in Jimmy's eyes was instantly replaced with excitement and joy upon hearing this news.

Suddenly, Jimmy remembered that Anna had called him before the accident and told him that she had something important to say to him face to face.

Could it be that what she wanted to tell him then was that she was going to be a mother?

"She has amnesia, so she forgot everything."

Bryce told Jimmy the most important thing he had discovered.

Upon hearing the word "amnesia," Jimmy's heart skipped a beat.

No wonder when Anna saw him earlier there was no reaction from her; there must have been a reason for it.

However...

Although he knew for sure that the woman in front of him was Anna whom he had been looking for, her guarded eyes made Jimmy feel helpless once again.

He felt anxious inside - happy because he finally found his beloved woman but scared because of the unfamiliarity and wariness in her eyes towards him now.

"You need to calm down. She doesn't remember you at all right now. If you get too excited about seeing her again, she might get scared and avoid contact with you altogether. You need to explain things slowly as right now your existence is completely unknown to her." Bryce reminded him gently.

Jimmy took a deep breath as his gaze fell on where the bathroom door stood.

"I won't let my woman or my son leave me again; I promise," said Jimmy firmly.

Seeing his good friend who'd lived through pain and sorrow finally regain his confidence made Bryce genuinely happy for him.

Olivia walked out of the bathroom holding hands with Jay while gazing at both men standing before them intently.

"Can we leave now?" Olivia asked impatiently.

"No," replied Jimmy walking up towards them with happiness written all over his face. "You can't."

"Why not? Please give us an explanation!" Olivia gritted through clenched teeth.

Jimmy smiled as he looked into her fiery eyes. It was the same look she used to give him, and it seemed like she was really angry this time.

"You're Anna, the one I've been looking for," Jimmy said with deep affection.

Olivia looked confused, but Bryce immediately stepped forward.

"Five years ago, your friend pushed you into the ocean. The waves brought you here where a couple saved you. And that child in your belly belongs to you and Jimmy," Bryce explained everything to Olivia. "This... I can't believe this is happening to me," Olivia said in shock and disbelief as she tried to process everything that had just been revealed.

Jimmy didn't want to disturb her while she processed all of this information, so he patiently waited with his tender gaze fixed on her. After a while, Olivia finally came back from her thoughts and looked at both Jimmy and Bryce with her eyes shining brightly.

"Are you guys scammers?" She asked hesitantly; it was the first time someone had ever called them that before.

Bryce sighed helplessly as he glanced over at Jimmy who quickly reassured Olivia by saying, "Of course not! Even though you don't remember what happened before, I promise we'll help jog your memory little by little. Also, we can create new happy memories together."

Jimmy gently placed his hands on Olivia's shoulders as he spoke those words full of love and sincerity. Jay listened intently throughout their conversation until finally asking, "So... you're really my dad?"

Jay looked at Jimmy with a shocked face after hearing all about what had happened. His eyes became misty as he had been longing for fatherly love all along.

Jimmy felt equally excited inside because he never imagined himself becoming a father.

Seeing how skinny Jay's cheeks were made him feel guilty for not being able to provide better care for him earlier on in life...

"Dad! I finally have a dad!" Jay exclaimed happily as he threw himself into Jimmy's arms without hesitation - holding onto his waist tightly like there would be no tomorrow!
