Chapter 765: Victoria Talkington, the Pearl in the River of Memory

Hank Clegg lowered his head, looking at Victoria Talkington in his arms.

So, this is what you looked like at eighteen.

He took hold of her hand, embracing her burning body.

Memories flowed through the dark river, wading ankle-deep in places, picking up fragments of the glistening past.

All the memories about her...

All the memories about her were like pearls in the river, scattered everywhere.

Their reunion happened at the Clegg Family's dinner table.

There was even the scene when he first locked gazes with Jose.

That pint-sized copy of Victoria Talkington, with features mixed with traits of both their faces.
