Chapter 3249 The Most Similar
Half an hour later, they reached Queenston Village.
It was the place that belonged to Jake, but he became quiet as soon as they arrived. Turning to look at the sorrow on his face, Megan seemed to empathize with him in an instant.
"Do you still remember the location of the orphanage?" Jake stopped walking and waited for an answer from Megan, who knew that it was the start of the test. "Over there."
She pointed in one direction with a look full of confidence.
Seeing the direction she was pointing, Jake was disconcerted and was eager to test his idea.
"Why are you so confident? Let's go and check it out then."
With a calm expression, Jake took the lead to walk in front of Megan, the emotion in his eyes unfathomable.
Megan followed him while secretly wondering if she remembered Rocky's message wrongly.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the former site of the orphanage. Looking at the abandoned orphanage, Megan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this is the place. Jake was just trying to bluff me.
"I know what you're thinking." Sitting on a rock with a slightly hunched back, Jake stared at the dilapidated building with a confused look. "In fact, there's another orphanage in Queenston Village, but I built that one. Many women who posed as Megan thought that it's the real orphanage, but they don't know that the real one is actually this building right here."
At this, Megan was stunned as she did not know anything about that. Luckily, Rocky is dependable.
"Yeah. They're fakes so of course, they don't know. As I told you from the beginning, I'm the real one!"
Standing next to Jake with a determined gaze, Megan looked at the completely dilapidated building in front of her, feeling foreign. The faded paintings on the walls and broken glasses were the manifestations of the downfall of the place.
Rising to his feet, Jake put his hands in the pockets of his coat while the turtleneck sweater covered his defined chin, revealing his pale lips.
With a look of loneliness, he seemed to be trying to go back to the past through what was left of the building. His silence wrenched Megan's heart as she bit her lips to stop herself from saying what she wanted to.
At that moment, she felt like she was a bad person who wanted to use Jake's past to achieve her own goals. However, she did not want sympathy to dictate her as she had to make her own choices. "Do you remember anything?" Jake calmly turned to shoot a glance at Megan.
"It's been too long ago. I can't remember much. Besides, I didn't grow up in this orphanage. I've also told you the little memories I have of Gabe."
Nervous, Megan clenched her fists, not knowing whether he would buy her excuse.
Jake looked up at her and felt emotional, but he maintained a calm facade. "Really? If that's really the case, I can't do anything either. After all, you're the most similar to Megan among others all these years." The fact that he said "most similar" and not an affirmation shocked Megan. Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, she did not know what was on his mind.
"I don't care how you think about it." Megan chose to be straightforward while suppressing the anxiousness in her heart.
Hearing her words, Jake turned to look at her, his face pale from the chilly wind. Suddenly, he chuckled and replied calmly, "Of course you don't. Megan, it's not that I can't prove that you're a fake. I just don't want to believe that. Do you get it?"
Megan was dumbfounded for a moment before she widened her eyes in surprise, unable to wrap her mind around what he meant by that.
