No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 520

Hearing this, Brodie stood on the balcony, taking a deep drag of his cigarette and said, “I think so too. Maybe before my mom’s accident, she looked a lot like Leonora.”

Ian spoke in a heavy tone, “Their handwriting is identical too, so there must be someone imitating the other for some reason, to the point where even my father couldn’t tell them apart. That’s probably why he never had any impression of Katherine. Because from the beginning, Katherine must have been posing as Leonora, and no one noticed until she got pregnant. That’s when Leonora felt threatened and thought about getting rid of her.”

Brodie had no objections to Ian’s analysis but frowned deeply. His voice was also very low. “So, I’m still a bastard, and my mom is still the mistress who can’t show her face, right?”

Hearing the change in his voice, Ian immediately reassured him, “If we want to know the truth, we should start by investigating Katherine’s background. Now, we believed that her face must have resembled Leonora’s. From this point, maybe we can find some clues.”

Brodie slowly exhaled a ring of smoke. His voice was tinged with melancholy. “My mom wanted to try a desensitization therapy, but the doctor said that the strong stimulus could lead to two outcomes: either regain her memory or suffer a mental breakdown, becoming a complete psychiatric patient from then on.”

Ian’s fingers involuntarily clenched upon hearing this. He had seen Katherine have an episode when she was hurt. Just an episode was enough to torment Brodie terribly. If she truly went crazy, what would he do? With this thought, his heart tightened. “Unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn’t resort to such methods. Let’s think of other ways. Katherine has already suffered enough.”

“But she’s always worried about your and Clara’s safety. She’s always been trying to find the person behind Leonora. Sometimes I feel she cares about you and Clara more than me.”

Ian chuckled softly, “That’s the charm of me and my wife. You can’t help but acknowledge it.”
