Luana was completely unaware of the rumors about her and Calvert that were spreading among the wealthy young men.
Initially, she had planned to rest for a while and leave once the dizziness subsided.
However, she unknowingly fell into a deep sleep without any warning.
Calvert, noticing her lack of movement for a long time, thought she might have slipped into a coma and gently nudged her.
When he realized she was merely asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood by the bed, frowning as he watched her for a moment, then gently tucked the blanket around her.
After turning off the light, he left the room.
Exiting the presidential suite, Calvert asked his assistant Stanley, who was waiting outside, in a stern voice, "Do I really have no past with her?"
Stanley, with an unchanging expression, replied calmly, "Yes, didn't Mr. Coburn take you to the orphanage to verify with the director a few years ago?"
Recalling the past, after Calvert was taken from the hospital to the Coburn residence, Luana frequently visited him.
At that time, he had just lost his memory and felt extremely unfamiliar with everything around him, and he was deeply fearful of anything related to his past.
However, Luana disregarded his feelings and came to see him every day, refusing to leave no matter how much he tried to drive her away.
She repeatedly told him only one thing— why she had to sell herself.
Her stories were vivid and convincing, making it seem like everything was done to save him.
This troubled Calvert greatly, so he had the Coburn family take him back to the orphanage to investigate.
The director told him that Luana had always been ambitious and, seeing him become the young master of the Coburn family, tried to use his amnesia to fabricate a story that she was his girlfriend.
The director emphasized that they were not familiar with each other, and the so-called past was just a lie made up by Luana.
To get to the bottom of it, Calvert also spoke with other people at the orphanage.
Apart from Clarissa, who insisted he was a heartless man, everyone else agreed with the director.
However, Clarissa and Luana had been close friends since childhood, so they might have been deceiving him together.
After listening to Stanley, the last trace of doubt in Calvert's eyes gradually dissipated.

Yet... he couldn't help but glance back at Luana, who was sleeping peacefully in bed, and his brow furrowed again, "I always feel that something must have happened between us. Otherwise, why does it still hurt so much when I hear about her heart condition after all these years..."
Stanley looked at him and said with a slight frown, "Mr. Coburn, she might be trying to get your attention again this way. Remember five years ago? She pretended to have a heart attack in front of you to help you regain your memory, but it didn't work. Now that she has the chance to get close to you again, she might be using the same trick."
After speaking, Stanley also reminded him, "Mr. Coburn, you should be careful. These days, some women can be quite cunning."
Calvert recalled how Luana had indeed pretended to have a heart attack in front of him five years ago to help him regain his memory, and he felt that Stanley's words seemed credible.
Otherwise, why would she have stopped Gath from examining her just now? Unless she was faking the illness.
Thinking about all the things related to Luana gave Calvert a headache.
This feeling of headache was something he hadn't experienced for a long time.
He really didn't want to delve into the reasons for his headache and just waved his hand at Stanley, saying, "Get me a room."
Stanley quickly nodded and went to find the hotel manager to arrange another room.
Luana opened her eyes and, seeing the unfamiliar room, slowly realized that she had fallen asleep in Calvert's suite.
She quickly touched her chest, relieved to find no signs of being kicked.
Even after all this time, she was still afraid that Calvert would kick her. This PTSD was quite severe.
No wonder she was afraid. After being kicked, he had left her, barely alive, by the roadside.
If someone hadn't passed by and saved her in time, she would have died then.
She never understood how Albion, who had been so good to her, could have been so heartless as to try to kill her.
Although she had let go of Albion, this incident had always been on her mind. It was hard to let go.
Over the years, she had sealed this past in her heart and stopped recalling it.
Now, reencountering Calvert, although her heart had calmed down, she still felt a bit afraid of him.
Luana shook her head, stopped thinking about things related to Calvert, sat up on the bed, and picked up her phone to check the time.
