Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1191

My mom immediately answered, "Yes, I remember clearly, he was very tall and skinny. I heard him say, 'Send someone to watch over this girl! She knows me, and if she wakes up, it'll be over. That brat has been looking for her and he doesn’t know if she's still alive or dead.’"

I was anxious. I knew that the little girl she described was me. These were fragments of memories I hadn't erased.

The tall and skinny man she mentioned should be the man who took me away after I was thrown out of the car.

I was about to say his name, but my mom continued, "The most crucial thing is, he also said, 'if it doesn't work out, we can only give her a sleeping injection after checking her injuries and take her away! Find a place to hide her, but we must not let any word slip out!'"

I involuntarily looked at Atlas, only to see his face darken significantly.

Atlas lowered his gaze to me, and we said in unison, "Clark Norton!"

My dad continued, "When Moira returned from the hospital to tell me about this, I thought this girl must have a secret on her just like our daughter. Your mom then came up with a bold idea to take you away."

I looked at my mom, and she said, "It was just an idea at the time, but we were determined to steal you away no matter what."

"But it wasn't so easy. We were being watched. Moira was afraid that something might happen, and you would be taken away if it took too long! In a moment of desperation, she turned around and poured a chemical solution from the laboratory onto her hand, burning it severely."

I murmured as I looked at my mom, "So that's how you got the scar on your hand?"

Only then did she nod, looking at her left hand.

My mother had a patch of ugly, wrinkled scars all across her left hand, from the wrist to the fingertips.

Whenever I questioned my mother how she got that scar, she would casually reply that it was from a burn when she was younger. Whenever I asked how she got burned, she would dismiss it as a minor issue and claim she couldn't recall specific details.
