She appeared a little rattled as she ranted, “Don’t you believe me, Ashton?”
“The truth trumps debate, wouldn’t you agree?” Ashton’s eyes swept meaningfully over her before he started for the door.
I was jolted to my senses and went on to hide in the emergency exit nearby.
The two men had only just left when the agitated voice of the woman emanated from the inside. “Find out exactly who my brother met up with recently! Be thorough about it!”
Only then did I slip away to the entrance and hired a ride out.
En route, I mentally tried to piece together what had just transpired.
However, I was not able to grasp the nuances within.
Emery did not seem the type to mistake anyone for someone else. Ashton did not blow up in my face; he had merely sent me away so he may question his own sister.
One was a Hall and the other a Fuller. Yet both were siblings. This was intriguing indeed.
So Ashton was completely unaware of the obituary. If that was the case, why was he not surprised at the appearance of someone who looked exactly like his ex-wife?
Scarlett Stovall’s DNA was found on that corpse two years ago. Gregory and I have no blood relations. Was this the truth?
If only I had not lost my memories.
There would be no problems had I not forgotten the past.
I would be able to know if I liked the child, what kind of enemies I had, and who I loved.
No one would be able to lead me by the nose then.
When I reached the hospital, I sat outside the corridor for a while before returning to Marcus’ ward. A few people plain-clothes policemen were inside.
Marcus was having his statement taken, and he smiled when he saw that I had returned. “Hey Letty, you’re back.”
“Yeah.” He explained the situation when I walked to the side of the bed, “The police would like to get a better understanding of the case in order to solve it sooner.”
I nodded in acknowledgment before I filled the empty glass on the table with water.
“Have you gotten into any fights with anyone recently, Mr. White?”
“Not that I can remember.”
