Hearing this, Jessie laughed, "Forgetting some unhappy people and things, of course I am in a good mood."
"Forget the unhappy people and things?" Jessie's mother froze.
What does that mean?
If she guessed correctly, the people and things that made Jessie unhappy were all done by George, right?
George made Jessie unhappy and did the upsetting thing of making Jessie abort the baby, so what Jessie said was to forget about George and the fact that George made her abort the baby?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it was.
But Jessie's mother's brow was still tightly furrowed.
Because she didn't know if this forgetting that Jessie was talking about was the literal kind of forgetting, or what forgetting.
Thinking, Jessie's mother asked tentatively, "Jessie, how did you forget? What have you forgotten?"
Jessie blinked back, "Just forget about that person, and all the excessive things that person has done to me, all the excessive things."
"Who is that person?" Jessie's mother looked at her.
Jessie sat back on the gaming chair, "I think it's called like George Joe? Let me see if that's the name."
With that, she pulled open the drawer and rummaged around inside for something.
But to her surprise, the blushing Jessie's mother changed dramatically.
Jessie ...... Forgot about George?
How was this possible!
Just now Jessie said, forgetting that person and the things he did, and she wondered if what she had forgotten.
But now Jessie's words were enough to show that her suspicions were right, Jessie had really forgotten George and couldn't even remember his name.
Just when Jessie's mother's heart was extremely unsettled, Jessie found what she was looking for, a letter.
"Found it." Jessie happily took the letter out and unfolded it, reading the contents on it before nodding, "That's right, it's George Joe."
"Jessie, have you really forgotten George?" Jessie's mother stared hard at her face.
Jessie nodded, "Yeah."
"You ...... How did you forget?" A great uneasiness rose up in Jessie's mother's heart.
Yesterday, Jessie was still crying over George, and although she had already said that she would give up on George, how could she be so quick?
Even more so, even if she gave up on George so quickly, it didn't mean that she forgot about him.
Was it really because of the sadness or the stimulation that led to the forgetfulness of George?
Didn't they say that on TV? When one is too sad, the brain kicks in to protect itself and then forgets some painfully sad memories.
This is called selective amnesia.
Jessie is like that?
