In the village on the outskirts of City B, there were rows of framework on the side of the hill with grapevines hung along it. The leaves that used to be green in the summer had already turned yellow and the fruitful appearance had ceased to exist.
Going downwards from the vineyard, there was a small two-story building with a small yard enclosed by a white fence.
Clean and chic, suitable for promoting physical and mental healing.
In the bedroom on the second floor, there was an average sized wooden bed on which laid an unconscious woman. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and soon she slowly opened her eyes.
Everything that came into view was strange. Her heart constricted nervously. Someone sent her a message mentioning Samuel and Simona. She was afraid that the other party was going to threaten her children, so she took the initiative to contact the person who had sent her the message.
The other party asked her to meet at a rental house…
“This medicine can damage people’s brain nerves. After injection it will cause hallucinations and confusion of memory.”
A male voice suddenly came into her ears. She turned her head towards the source of the sound. Through the curtains she could vaguely see two figures standing on the balcony. Judging from their height and voices, both were men.
She tightly clenched the sheets under her body. Who were they and what did they want to do?
On the balcony of the second floor, stood a man with a doctor in a white coat.
Sampson looked at the hillside not far away, his gaze distant and a bit confused.
The doctor saw him hesitate and said, “If you want her to forget the past, this is the only way?”
Sampson was silent for a moment and then, as if he had made a decision, he said, “Okay, give her the injection.”
This voice…
Then the two figures moved and opened the balcony door to enter the room.
Dolores had no time to think, she closed her eyes quickly pretending to be asleep.
Her hands under the quilt kept shaking.
Just now, did they say that the injection was for her?
After the injection her memory will be confused and she will even forget the previous events?
No! She must not lose her memory.
She felt someone rubbing a swab of alcohol on her arm…
The fear grew deeper and deeper until she abruptly opened her eyes. What caught her eyes was a familiar face with complicated expressions.
Sampson.
Wasn’t he in jail?
Why was he here?
She had too many questions but she couldn’t ask.
What she had to do right now was to not be injected.
Sampson hadn’t expected her to wake up so suddenly, he was at a loss for words.
“Lola…”
She glanced at the man standing by her side with a syringe in his hand, her hands clenched in fear as she stared at them in horror, “Who are you?”
Sampson was taken aback, ‘Lola, it’s me.”
“You… Do you know me?” Dolores curled up on the bed defensively.
Sampson looked inquiringly at the doctor.
How did she lost her memory before the medicine was even injected?
The doctor didn’t know what was going on either, “I need to examine her to find out.”
Sampson bent down and looked at Dolores, “Don’t you remember me?”
Dolores panicked, “Who are you? Do you know me?”
“I know you. We are very close, have you forgotten?”
Dolores shook her head, pretending not to remember, “I don’t remember!”
Sampson stretched out his hand to smooth her messy hair, “Don’t be afraid, I am your relative. You were injured, can you let the doctor check it?”
