“You…” Rowan gave it a thought and asked softly, “Did you remember something?”
Kelly jolted.
“There’s nothing you can’t tell me.” Rowan’s smile was as if he knew everything. “Actually, from the first day I treated you, I knew that you were hiding something from everyone.
“You didn’t remember something. You’ve never forgotten anything.”
Kelly sat on the bed with her legs curled up as she bit her fist.
After a moment of silence when Rowan was going to inject her, she grabbed his hand abruptly and looked with a pleading expression on her pale face.
“Uncle Irwin, you’re a good person…” Even Kelly’s voice sounded pale. “Please don’t tell others!”
Rowan automatically scanned the surrounding area of the hospital ward with a serious gaze. Confirming that there was no one else, he turned around swiftly and shut the door.
“Some of the doctors and nurses around me are actually Nelly’s people,” Kelly said softly. “But I don’t know who they are, so I can only pretend to have lost my memory.”
Rowan frowned. “So, you purposely ran into Cordelia’s car on the day of the accident?”
“I didn’t know that it was Ms. Cordelia’s car!” Kelly hurried to explain, “I was abducted, and the driver said that Nelly asked him to do it. I was scared… so I just wanted to run into a car and create an accident. At least I wouldn’t be harmed by them!”
Rowan nodded. “You think pretty fast.
“So, you pretended to have amnesia after that also to avoid Nelly from doing anything to you?”
Kelly bit her lips and nodded.
“Nelly will keep thinking of ways to kill me since she failed this time. I can only stay alive if I’m not a threat to her…”
Rowan had newfound knowledge of this weak and ill girl. She was calm and knew how to protect herself, seeking survival despite the despairing situation.
