Chapter 120
Jeremy truly was the one person on this earth who knew me well. His words hit their mark.
Grandma only had three children.
+25 BONUS
The youngest had passed away before reaching adulthood. This left her with an indelible pain in her heart.
The year I graduated from university, my aunt passed away from an accident. Having lost another child, Grandma almost couldn’t handle the grief.
Now, out of her three children, only Dad remained.
Dad may not have been kind to me, but he loved Grandma dearly. He would often check on her and rarely went against her wishes.
And although Grandma was very upset with what Dad had done to me, he was still her only remaining child. Hence, it wasn’t possible for her to stop caring about him.
Therefore, she might not be able to bear it If something were to happen to him.
“We’re a family, Emi. No matter what happens, we still need to look out for each other. Didn’t I do the same for you?” Jeremy patted my head as he spoke.
Mom had no clue what he was referring to. But I did.
I had lost my memory. Additionally, I also couldn’t remember the events from the day of the drugging incident. Hence, it would have been incredibly difficult for me to find the truth.
Before Mr. Holland appeared to help me, I had been afraid and uneasy. I had been terrified that I wouldn’t be able to get out of the situation.
Furthermore, I was unable to recall what had happened in the video. This also left me anxious and restless. So much so, that I had felt like smacking myself in hopes I would stop.
My anxiety had been driving me insane. That was until Irvin showed me the fake bipolar disorder medical record. It was then that I had some suspicions and knew where to start my investigation.
It would seem now that Jeremy had intentionally given the medical record to Irvin. He had even told Irvin about how my “manic episodes” were only triggered by Julianne and mentioned that I didn’t remember any of them.
It appeared he hadn’t done all that to convince Irvin I was mentally ill. Rather, he was trying to tell me why I couldn’t remember any of those incidents.
He knew I had studied psychology when I was in university. Hence, he knew that the medical record would arouse suspicion once I read it. Then, I would know where to start looking.
Jeremy and I weren’t on good terms. In fact, he had felt glad when I was arrested. Plus, he had long known I was innocent and that Julianne had been framing me all along.
However, in the end, he was unable to sit idly by and watch me go to prison. Thus, he gave me the crucial clue that would help me escape that fate.
The medical record Jeremy had provided would have been my only chance to prove my innocence. This would have been especially true if Mr. Holland hadn’t come to my aid.
I was genuinely touched by Jeremy’s act of kindness. Perhaps it was because I had suffered so much.
However…

“This matter is no longer in my hands,” I said. “If Tad trois has committed a crime, he won’t be releasest even if don’t press charges. We will know whether he conspired with Julianne to frame me once the investigation has been concluded.”
“Best case scenario, he’s deared of all charges. If this happens, I will not prosecute him for repeatedly drugging me with Abyde. This is how I will honor out father daughter relationship,” I stated
