Lily got up and quickly headed to get tea.The moment Lily left Meredith's phone beeped. She unlocked her phone and saw a photo of a little girl.The little girl looked pretty with an adorable braid. She had huge eyes and a sweet smile. However, that pretty face was a little pale.Meredith was wondering who this little girl was and why the person sent it to her.The next photo was sent to her. It was still of the little girl, but a lady was standing next to her. The lady turned out to be…herself?Meredith thought she was hallucinating. Why would she take a photo with a strange little girl? How was she related to the little girl? Why did the little girl look so much like her? A series of questions appeared on her mind.Then, her phone rang. It was from the same number. Meredith hesitated before answering the call. Then, she hesitated again before asking, "Who are you?""Meredith, it's me!" Ysabelle's smug voice came from the other end of the call.Meredith was stunned. It was
If Meredith did not see the photo of the little girl, she would surely have hung up the call. However, she did not hang up, she merely continued listening to what Ysabelle was saying with a pale face."Back then, because the dosage of the abortion pill was too low, you did not have a miscarriage. You hid in the mental asylum, bearing the child for about six months when Josiah found out about it. He created a fire that caused you to have premature labor. He even got someone to throw your daughter into the fire. It was your mother that secretly went to get the child back and rescued you from the cliff that you jumped off from.""Stop talking…" Meredith could no longer continue listening to Ysabelle. She truly could not.However, she could not pry her hands away from her ear, because the call was the truth that she wanted. It was the truth that she was also afraid of.Naturally, Ysabelle would not stop talking. She continued, "Because your daughter was a premature baby, she was weak
Lily was frightened half to death. She suddenly did not know what to do.Under desperation, she placed the tea by the side and shook her hands. She said, "No, no. Someone must be trying to harm you. Think of your relationship with Sir all this while. How could it be as bad as what they say? They are just trying to drive a wedge between you and him. Ma'am, don't believe them. You'll let them win if you believe them.""Then, tell me, where is Nia? Is she still alive or not!" Meredith's overbearing gaze suddenly had hints of hope.She wanted Lily to tell her that Nia was still alive so badly, that Nia was doing well. That way, she did not need to believe the stories that Ysabelle came up with.However, she was disappointed. Seeing how Lily was at a loss for words, Meredith was extremely disappointed.Nia was truly her daughter, and she was not alive anymore.It was one thing that Josiah had forced her to take abortion pills. Nia was already a child, yet he still could kill her. Was
After Meredith ran out of the city hall, she ran straight for two blocks, finally stopping by a crossroad.She did not know whether she should go first. Should she go looking for Nia or her mother?Then, she also realized that she did not know where to look for Nia. Even Ysabelle, who so desperately wanted her to know about her past did not know where Nia was, how could she possibly know?In the end, she went to her mother's grave. She saw her mother's headstone at the cemetery.The photo of the smiling woman on the headstone looked familiar, even if she had lost her memories and could not recall anything.However, there are some people and some things that have been embedded deeply in her heart.Just like Nia and her mother's photo. All she need was one glance to believe their identities.It was a pity that her mother could no longer talk or help her answer the questions in her heart.No matter how she cried and asked, her mother merely stayed there quietly, smiling at her ben
Josiah had treated her like an idiot, duping her for so long. How could he possibly tell her the truth?Meredith walked out of the cemetery in a daze. She unlocked her phone once more to dial Quinley.Quinley seemed to have predicted that Meredith would call her. She was not surprised. On the contrary, she could calmly put on an act, "Meredith, I haven't seen you in a long time. Why are you calling me?"Meredith sniffled her nose and said, "I want to see you, can I?""Me? But…" Quinley pretended to sound anxious, "but Mister Josiah had ordered that no one could get close to you."Meredith, you know his temper. No one would end up well by offending him. We don’t have to go far, just look at Maeve and Ysabelle recently. By the way, I'm sure you don't know about it yet, Ysabelle had just killed herself by jumping off a building."Meredith's hand which was holding her phone trembled a little.Quinley continued, "Ysabelle initially applied for medical parole, but Josiah was afraid th
In fact, Meredith had already heard it from Josiah, but she could not help but ask once more."Yes, Nia died a few months back. I heard that you were so upset about her death that you went mad and lost all your memories within a night."Thus…she had been lied to by Josiah because of that?Meredith clutched her chest. She was in so much pain that her legs turned to jelly. She slowly slumped to the floor.She was extremely upset. Just by thinking of that scene, her heart hurt."So, where is Nia…?" Meredith was still harping on that issue.Quinley said, "Josiah had secretly dealt with Nia, so other than you and him, no one else knows where Nia is.""But Josiah refuses to tell me!""Then, ask yourself." Quinley bent down in front of her. "Meredith, "If you really want to know where Josiah has dumped Nia, try to recall it yourself.""But…I can't recall it." Meredith hit her head with her hands. "I really want to recall my memories. I don't want to be lied to like an idiot anymore,
"Hello," Professor Liam greeted Meredith politely before getting her to lie down on a custom-made small bed.Following his guidance, Meredith gradually went into a dark world. She turned around in the dark, yet she could not find any guidance to point her to the exit or the light.She gradually started to fear this place. Her body also could tremble uncontrollably.Just when she did not know what to do anymore, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ear. "Don't you want to find your daughter? Then, be brave and rush out of the darkness. Go get your daughter back…"It was Quinley. Quinley was talking nonstop to her. Meredith gradually calmed down.She had to be brave. She had to recover her memories. She had to look for Nia.Meredith tried with all her might to break out of the darkness while yelling for Nia's name. However, everything was just like the many nightmares she had before, no matter how she tried to call out, Nia was nowhere to be seen.This was the first time that she
Meredith lost it and cried for a while. She got off the bed and rushed outside.Quinley immediately pulled her back. "Meredith, where are you going?""I'm going to look for Josiah." Meredith wiped away the tears on her face. She said with a trembling voice, "Even if Nia is dead, I want to get her body back.""If you go back now, Josiah will lock you up," Quinley said, "Meredith, haven't you recovered your memories? Haven't you forgotten how Josiah treated you in the past?"Sure enough, Meredith was stunned. How did Josiah treat her back then? He treated her like dirt, stepping on her, humiliating her, and torturing her as he wished. The moment she resisted, he would make it worse.To control her movements, he forcefully imprisoned her in the mansion, completely ignoring the fact that she still had a daughter lying in the hospital waiting to be taken care of.Incident after incident, matter after matter, Meredith recalled all of them.Quinley was right. If she were to return ju
