Being pregnant with the child of the amnesiac Cooper Corporation CEO, he regained his memory. I’m not particularly beautiful and my background isn’t noteworthy. When he regained consciousness, he dismissed me with disdain: “Stop bothering me. I won’t marry a nanny’s daughter.” He assumed I would cling to him desperately. Little did he know, I was unfazed and gladly accepted the 60 million in compensation. Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, here I come! Later, the once-invincible billionaire CEO chased me across the globe to win me back. With reddened eyes, he awkwardly said, “The child misses you.” I pretended not to hear: “I’m sorry, I’m unmarried and childless.” The name Jasper is well-known in New York City’s high society. It’s said that once, when his secretary wore something slightly revealing, he fired her on the spot. Since then, no company dared to hire her, fearing backlash. Everyone working for the Cooper Family fears this young master. He’s unpredictable, and the smallest mistake could cost you your job. But none of this has anything to do with me. I’m just the nanny’s daughter for Jasper’s family. I only saw him once during a family gathering at the Cooper Family’s house. His every move exuded the cold indifference of someone in power. He doesn’t take anyone or anything seriously. If nothing unexpected happens, I would never have any interaction with him in this lifetime. That winter, whether by accident or someone’s intent, Jasper got into a car accident on his way to a negotiation. His injuries were severe, and it took several rounds of rescue in the ICU to save his life. When he woke up, everyone was stunned. Jasper had lost his memory, and his intelligence and memory were like those of a three-year-old child. Previously, he had a cleanliness obsession and avoided women. Now, he was pestering the nanny and cleaning lady at home to play hide and seek with him. The family doctor did another brain check for him, sighing and shaking his head. “The young master’s brain still has blood clots, which are pressing on his nerves. Surgery is very risky; now he can only rest and see how he recovers later.” Jasper’s mother wanted to take him abroad for treatment. But now was a critical moment in the power struggle within the Cooper Family. Yes, the Cooper Family has more than one son besides Jasper. If it were revealed now that Jasper is amnesiac and foolish, he would naturally be out of this power struggle. However, there’s no secret that doesn’t find its way out. Rumors always find a way to reach others’ ears. Listening to my mom talk about these things, I felt a brief pang of sympathy for this billionaire CEO. But only for a moment. His amnesia has nothing to do with me; these are just battles among wealthy families. The world won’t stop turning, and I’ll continue living as usual. Mom has taken care of Mrs. Cooper for a long time and has watched Jasper grow up. Now that Jasper needs meticulous care, Mom is grateful to the Cooper Family and feels a bit sorry for this child she watched grow up. So she took on this responsibility. I help my mom with some chores at the Cooper Family on weekends after school. “Ah, I really don’t understand how a perfectly fine person could become like this.” I had just picked up the messy toys on the floor. “Bang bang—” Then two rubber-like things hit my head. “Where did this little witch come from! Surrender now!” I looked at Jasper, who was waving a toy gun and dancing around, and was momentarily speechless. “It seems he really is foolish now.” I took the toy gun from his hand and carefully wiped the dirt off his face with a cloth. After Jasper became foolish, the nannies who used to fear him were more daring. Naturally, the care wasn’t very attentive. He seemed a bit dazed, standing there holding his clothes and letting me wipe his face clean. With his long eyelashes fluttering and his lips pursed, he seemed particularly obedient. I accidentally met his eyes and was momentarily stunned. “Chenny’s hands are dirty too.” He pouted and reached out his hand to me, acting pitifully. I tugged at the corner of my mouth; yes, he really is like a three-year-old child. In the evening, I was planning to go home after tidying up, but Mrs. Cooper suddenly called me to her room. “Auntie.” Mrs. Cooper had maintained herself well, her face carrying a smile. I felt something was off in my heart. Seeing me come in, she stood up and circled around me, looking satisfied. “Not bad, you have a good figure; having a baby shouldn’t be a problem.” Hearing her words, I was confused. Perhaps seeing my reaction, Mrs. Cooper realized her words were inappropriate. She immediately changed her demeanor, holding my hand with tears in her eyes: “Quinn, you see Jasper like this now. It’s hard to say if he will recover. I have an unreasonable request.” “If you can have a child for the Cooper Family within a year, I’ll give you 50 million. After it’s done, you can go wherever you want. The child’s matter won’t delay you.” I was shocked; so this was her plan. “Auntie, I don’t think I can…” “Quinn, don’t decide so quickly. After all, your mom has been with me for so long, and I chose you because I’m assured.” “If 50 million isn’t enough, I’ll add another 10 million, and your mom can continue working at the Cooper Family. This money is enough for you and your mom to live worry-free for several lifetimes.” Mrs. Cooper spoke with a smile, leisurely wiping her nails. “Okay.” The threat in Mrs. Cooper’s words was too obvious. Mom has worked hard to raise me as a single parent. We are just ordinary people; if I refuse, the Cooper Family will just crush us. Besides, it’s 60 million. It can give Mom a better life. Driven by some inexplicable force, I agreed. Mrs. Cooper nodded in satisfaction upon hearing my response.
Under Mrs. Cooper’s arrangement, I changed into a high-end nightgown I’d never worn before and was politely invited into Jasper’s room. Mrs. Cooper even arranged someone to watch outside the door. I looked at Jasper lying in bed, hesitating. It’s too late to regret now. The room’s lighting was dim, and there was a pleasant-smelling incense burning, creating an extremely ambiguous atmosphere. I didn’t dare to look directly at him. Even now, though foolish, he still looked very good. “Quinn, I’m so hot, I feel uncomfortable all over.” Jasper kicked off the blanket in a huff, looking restless. I quickly stepped forward, pulling the blanket back over him. “Young master, don’t be naughty; you’ll catch a cold.” Jasper curled up in the blanket, only revealing a pair of eyes blinking at me. Somehow, I also started to feel hot. It’s the incense! Mrs. Cooper must have drugged it. The people outside, not hearing any movement inside, knocked on the door three times. Jasper struggled to pull his hand out from the blanket and touched my forehead. “Quinn, are you hot too? You’re sweating!” I steeled myself, grabbed his hand and kissed it. The next day, the person Mrs. Cooper sent saw the marks on me and nodded in satisfaction. I was exhausted and sore all over. Jasper seemed to think it was a fun game, clinging to me all night, I don’t know how many times we tangled. Though Jasper is foolish now, his physique and stamina are truly remarkable. Mrs. Cooper let me go home for a bit. Today was Mom’s day off. I usually make sure to have dinner ready and wait for her to come home so we can eat together. After I managed to brush things off with Mom, I returned to the Cooper Family and saw Jasper’s cousin, Finn. “Cousin, this is the latest toy, it’s really fun.” After saying that, he mockingly threw the toy to the floor. Hearing “fun,” Jasper eagerly crawled under the table to pick it up. Finn grinned and kicked the toy further away. As soon as I walked in, I saw Jasper crawling on the floor like a puppy, trying to fetch it. “Young master!” Seeing Jasper, who used to be decisive and ruthless, now in such a state, I inexplicably felt a twinge in my nose. My appearance made both of them stop what they were doing. Jasper beamed, “Quinn! Cousin got me a new toy!” I rushed over and picked up the toy from the floor. “Young master, remember, you are the master of this house. You can order the nanny to do anything; you don’t need to do it yourself.” Finn looked displeased: “Who are you? Why are you meddling in my bonding time with my cousin?” “I’m Jasper’s assistant.” He laughed out loud after hearing that. “Yeah, he does need a personal assistant; he probably can’t even dress himself now.” After saying that, he glanced at Jasper sitting on the floor, looking smug. “Cousin, I’ll come to see you again once I’m done with the company’s matters.” After he left, Jasper’s eyes turned red, and he tugged at my pant leg, looking pitiful. “Quinn, it hurts.” His knee seemed to have been bruised earlier, with a bit of skin scraped off. I resignedly rummaged through the medicine cabinet, carefully applying ointment to his wound. “Quinn, you’re so nice! You’re just like Mom, the best to Chenny!” Hearing this, my hand paused. “Young master, no one loves you more than Mrs. Cooper, and in this world, no one will be good to you for no reason.” “A gentle knife always has ulterior motives.”
Mrs. Cooper learned that I stood up for Jasper, and she was very grateful. With the current fierce competition for inheritance and Jasper’s uncertain recovery, she couldn’t help but frown. Seeing her looking so gloomy, I told her some mischievous stories from my childhood to cheer her up. She smiled slightly, then looked at me with regret: “What a pity.” Jasper always wanted to sneak out to play, but Mrs. Cooper wouldn’t allow it. I followed him all the way and saw him go into the playground in the community, constantly clamoring to play on the swings. Those nannies, who usually tremble at the mention of his name, were all snickering with their heads down. 3 Mrs. Cooper was grateful when she found out I stood up for Jasper. But with the ongoing fierce fight over the family inheritance and Jasper’s uncertain recovery, she couldn’t help but worry. Seeing her so downcast, I shared some playful stories from my childhood to lift her spirits. She smiled slightly but soon looked at me with regret, saying, “What a pity.” Jasper always wanted to sneak out and play, but Mrs. Cooper never allowed it. I followed him to the community playground, where he insisted on playing on the swings. The nannies, who usually trembled at the mention of his name, were all hiding their laughter. I held the swing steady for him to get on. “If the young master wants to play, then play! Quinn will watch over you!” Jasper happily sat on the swing and gestured for me to come closer with a playful air. Curious, I leaned in, and he took a candy from his pocket and placed it in my hand. “Quinn, I hope your days are always as sweet as this candy.” His words made my heart skip a beat, and I instinctively looked away. Feeling a bit awkward, I pushed him on the swing. “Quinn, about that night, can we do it again someday?” My hands froze, and I glanced around to ensure we were alone, then sighed in relief. Blushing, I gently patted his head. “Young master, that’s our little secret. You mustn’t speak of it or tell anyone else.” Seeing my serious expression, he nodded solemnly. “I understand, Quinn! It’s our secret! Jasper is great at keeping secrets!” I couldn’t help but laugh at his earnestness. Time passed quickly, and three months flew by. Jasper’s condition hadn’t improved; it worsened. Initially, he just wanted to play with the kids in the neighboring community. Eventually, he ran away and disappeared. Remembering my words, he declared himself the master of the house when the nanny tried to stop him. No one could hold him back. When Mrs. Cooper found out, she was furious and no longer gentle. She had me held down, kneeling in Jasper’s room. In the eyes of these wealthy people, we never had any dignity. “You can get up when Jasper returns.” It wasn’t until midnight that Jasper was found. He was discovered in a small room like a dog cage. The neighboring community was also wealthy, home to rich kids. They tricked Jasper into going with them, locked him up, and taunted him as an idiot. Jasper’s car accident had injured his brain, and the story of him wetting his pants while playing with kids spread throughout the villa area. After Jasper came back, Mrs. Cooper still didn’t let me get up. First, because I failed to watch over Jasper, letting him run off. Second, she wanted me to recognize my place and do my duties. I knelt for nearly ten hours, my legs numb, and finally collapsed to the ground. Jasper seemed to realize he was at fault. He looked at me kneeling in his room, bewildered. He went to plead with Mrs. Cooper to let me up, but she just gave me a cold look and turned away. Seeing he couldn’t persuade her, Jasper strode over and knelt beside me. “I’m sorry, Quinn, I shouldn’t have run off. It’s all my fault, and if Mom wants to punish you, then I’ll kneel with you!” Mrs. Cooper couldn’t bear seeing Jasper insist on kneeling beside me. “Get up, take good care of the young master, no next time.” Mrs. Cooper looked down at me, and I bowed my head. “Yes, ma’am.” After Mrs. Cooper left, I breathed a sigh of relief. Just as I was about to stand up, ignoring the pain in my knees, I staggered and almost fell again. Suddenly, Jasper caught me and lifted me up. He gently placed me on his bed, rolling up my pant leg as I had done for him to apply medicine. My knee was swollen and red. “Quinn… I’m sorry.” His eyes turned red, and he gently massaged my wound with his fingertips. “It’s Jasper’s fault. Quinn can punish me however you want; I’ll do whatever you say.” Seeing his guilty and helpless expression, my heart softened. “Will the young master listen to everything Quinn says?” He nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes! Jasper always keeps his word!” “Then I punish you to eat well, sleep well, and take good care of yourself from now on!” Jasper paused, then suddenly hugged me. His head buried in my neck, he murmured, “Quinn, Jasper wants to grow up quickly.” I gently patted his head, “Why does the young master suddenly want to grow up?” “Mom said only when Jasper grows up can he truly be the master of the house.” “Then I can protect Quinn and never let anyone bully you again!” My nose tingled; the young master was indeed naive. Why protect a nanny’s daughter? 4 The news of Jasper’s injury, which left him with the intelligence of a three-year-old, reached other members of the Cooper Family. Several illegitimate children began to stir. Mrs. Cooper was overwhelmed dealing with the strategies that came one after another and the company’s affairs. Despite her previous efforts to seek out renowned doctors, there was no progress in healing Jasper’s mind. Overwhelmed with anger and stress, she also fell ill and was hospitalized. Jasper hadn’t seen Mrs. Cooper all day and was getting anxious. “Quinn, have you seen Mom?” “Ma’am is still working overtime at the company! Be a good boy and go to sleep. You’ll see her when you wake up tomorrow!” Before being hospitalized, Mrs. Cooper had specifically instructed not to let Jasper know about her hospitalization. I had no choice but to coax him to sleep. Jasper pressed his lips together, staring at me expressionlessly. “Quinn, you’re lying to me.” “Mom didn’t come back yesterday, and last night Mrs. Wang packed up Mom’s clothes and took them away. Mom’s favorite pearl earrings are still on the table. Quinn, tell me the truth!” Though he had the mind of a three-year-old, he was still sharp. Unable to hide it from him, I took him to the hospital to see Mrs. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper was surprised to see Jasper. Jasper rushed into her arms, “Mom! Jasper will behave from now on, please don’t get sick, okay?” Mrs. Cooper’s hand trembled, but she eventually patted Jasper’s back. Tears welled in her eyes, “Forget it, living an ordinary life is fine too.” Jasper eagerly volunteered to get hot water for Mrs. Cooper, and she smiled and agreed. After he ran out excitedly with the kettle, she indicated for me to follow him to ensure nothing happened. When I caught up to the place where water was fetched, I only saw Jasper lying on the ground and the kettle of hot water spilled. He had run too fast, slipped on the water, and fell. When he woke up, he miraculously recovered. “The blood clot in the patient’s brain has mostly dissipated; he can be discharged without any issues.” Mrs. Cooper cried tears of joy upon hearing the doctor’s words. Everyone gathered around Jasper and Mrs. Cooper, returning to the Cooper Family home. I stood alone in the empty hospital room, feeling momentarily lost. Jasper had recovered, so what about me? After returning to the Cooper Family home, Jasper was furious. “Get everything replaced immediately! How did my room become such a mess? It’s disgusting!” Any trace of my existence was quickly erased. Initially, I was thrilled to hear Jasper had recovered, but now I felt like I was plunged into an ice cave. When Jasper looked at me, there was no longer any warmth in his eyes, only undisguised disdain. “Get out! Do any random stray cat or dog think they can enter my room?” He returned to his usual aloof and commanding self. “This is Adeline, Aunt Adeline’s daughter. She took great care of you when you were injured. Why not have her stay with you a bit longer?” It was only then that Mrs. Cooper seemed to remember my presence and tentatively explained to Jasper.
