Mark’s throat slightly moved as he gulped. He found it quite hard to bring the words to his mouth. “Her leg isn’t crippled. In fact, she has probably mostly recovered after such a long period of time. Hence, it shouldn’t be an issue for her to move around freely. She’s been lying to me all along.”
Alejandro was not surprised by the fact. He had been receiving news about what Shelly had caused at home. “I see… Then, I’m pretty sure she’s the culprit. She must’ve known who I truly am, which would explain her ambush. She already managed to escape from the mental hospital, so if she really wanted to hide, it’d definitely be hard for you to find her. Plus, she hasn’t got any money or identification with her, yet she’s able to survive outside for so many days; she’s truly amazing. However, we have no idea if anyone else other than me has been hurt when she’s had one of her mental attacks. Now that I think of it, it’s quite scary to be targeted by someone who’s mentally ill.”
Mark found Alejandro’s words to be rather unpleasant and became unhappy as he said, “Enough, stop saying that she’s mentally ill. Plus, she wouldn’t simply attack others. You deserved what happened to you.”
Alejandro sarcastically mocked, “Oh? Are you saying that she’s not mentally ill? Then why did you send her to a mental hospital? Mark, you should think deeper about the situation. An aunt whom you’ve had not contacted for so many years suddenly shows up and causes a huge ruckus at your home. Is that really normal? No matter how close a person is to someone, they would still become distant after being away for so long. Therefore, why would she have rushed towards you and risked her life in order to protect you? It isn’t as though she doesn’t know the concept of a tooth for a tooth, yet she still dared to lay a finger on me. Is she afraid that I am a threat to you? She didn’t hire someone else to do it but did the deed herself. Wouldn’t it have been better if she had done it in secret? I’m really curious as to what secrets your aunt is hiding.
Secrets…
What kind of secrets could they possibly be?
There was no way Mark could solve the mystery no matter how hard he thought about it. He felt even more saddened when he recalled the scars on Aunt Shelly’s body.
After a moment, Mark turned around and walked towards the exit.
