Chapter 66 - Let It Rest (1/2)

Olivia heaved a long sigh and shifted her gaze to one of the flowers in the garden.

”I have confirmed from a professional last night that a person with amnesia does not lose his motor skills. Cedric loves music and he is very good at it. As a kid, he learned to play all kinds of instruments, as in all and I even joined him in some of his lessons with Will, but music was not for me or Will.

Unlike Cedric, who seemed very talented at it, playing the piano in particular. So I wanted to put him in a spot and ask him to play today but he left and I heard he will be very busy in the upcoming days.” Olivia explained before turning to look at Brione once more.

”Can you do me a favor, Brione? Because I know Cedric will no longer see me once I return to our country. I hear there's a dispute between our fathers, so most likely my father will also prevent me from seeing him.

Do you think you can check it for me? I'm sure he will see you first, so would it be possible for you to ask him to play an instrument? I know this can be awkward, but would it be possible for you to do it and update me on how it goes?”

There was a moment of silence.

”What if he can play these instruments, Olivia?” Brione whispered.

Instead of answering, Olivia asked, ”Does Gavin know how to play any instrument?”

Brione shook his head and whispered, ”Gavin is not good at music and neither is he interested in playing instruments.”

She had urged Gavin to take lessons with her when they were younger and Gavin did try it, but only for a day and then quit after saying it's too boring for him and he would rather go play a sport.

”If he can play instruments then he really is Cedric and I must erase any hope from my heart because he clearly told me he loves you deeply,” Olivia weakly whispered.

”How about you, Brione? What if he can play an instrument? Will that finally convince you that he is Cedric and not Gavin?”

”Yeah, it will but I would still need to check his birthmarks. If there are no birthmarks then I will accept that he is not Gavin.” Brione confessed.

”Well, I understand. If I were you, I too would do the same. But what if you and I are both wrong? What if he really is Cedric? What will you do, Brione? I know this is something personal and I have no right at all to intervene. But as Cedric's friend, I am hoping he will get fair treatment in this situation. I hope you know what you're doing, knowing all these possibilities.”
