“Vanessa acted on impulse. It will be more dangerous to her if she undergoes a late-stage abortion. How could she keep the baby at that time? So I made a forced decision that I asked the doctor to send her to the operating room with forced anesthesia and had an abortion. I didn't know whether I made the right decision at that time, but later I found that I was wrong. I expected Vanessa would wake up with a crazy hatred for me after she knew she had miscarried at that time. I also planned to let her go. I couldn't allow her to keep the baby, even if she hates me all her life. But I didn't expect that she had a mental problem after she woke up.”
“Vanessa was crazy and only talked repeatedly about the baby every day. I asked the psychologists to diagnose her condition, and all of them said that Vanessa had a mental problem which was a hypochondriac. At the same time, the Chow family had internal quarrels, and a group of people began to hunt me down. I had no choice and fled the country with Vanessa. We went to a small country in Europe, and it was a recuperation period for Vanessa. I found the top psychologist in the world to treat Vanessa with the best medicine, but she was getting worse, and she was even self-harming every day. Later I accepted a suggested treatment from the psychologist with pressure, and that was a neurological treatment. Vanessa would forget all the memories after the treatment, but it required the hypnotic induction of the psychologist. I agreed to the treatment. I didn't want Vanessa to lapse into suffering again every day. I was afraid that Vanessa would suicide or did something dangerous when I was not paying attention.”
Alfred did not continue to say anything after he said this. Elsie clenched her fists tightly, and her tears continuously rolled down her cheeks. She did not have the strength to scold Alfred.
Elsie felt extreme pain in her heart, and it hurt her to the extend of crazy. It also made her felt as if her internal organs would all about to explode.
Elsie spoke to Ivan when the car stopped.
“After getting out of the car, you hold Annie to a farther place. I want to fight with Alfred, one-on-one hit. I can't stand it. I want to kill this man to avenge Vanessa!”
Ivan nodded. He kind of heard the secret, and even he also wanted to beat Alfred as an outsider. How could there be such a hateful and despotic person in the world? He had forced a woman to the extent of crazy.
Ivan held Annie and went straight to the house after getting out of the car. Elsie rushed over to Alfred and wildly kicked him to the ground.
She fiercely beat him as if she was snatching food with others in the same way since she was a kid. She kicked his stomach, hit his face, and pulled his hair. She used all the ways she could think of to beat Alfred.
Elsie felt that she was going crazy. She wished to kill him whenever she thought of what Alfred had done to Vanessa.
However, there would be nobody to take care of Vanessa and Annie if she killed Alfred. She could only let him suffered from the bitterness of flesh.
Elsie did not know how long she hit the man before she stopped.
Alfred had a face full of slap marks and nail scratches, with his eyes bruised and looked like a panda. Elsie had kicked every part of his body. He spilled blood at the corner of his mouth.
He slowly got up from the ground and said calmly.
“I wished it was Vanessa who was beating me, but she can't. I feel better after you hit me. I didn't finish the words just now. Vanessa woke up and forgot everything about her past after the treatment. I told her that I was her husband. She woke up a month ago. Her treatment had lasted seven or eight months, and it ended last month. Vanessa doesn't remember anything. I'll take you to her and introduce you to her that you're her sister. Both of you look alike, and she will immediately accept you.”
Elsie kicked his stomach again after his words. She madly rushed over in a sudden to the house in front of her.
Elsie walked into the house and saw Vanessa was sitting on the sofa and talking with Annie while Ivan was sitting awkwardly by the side. When Vanessa raised her head and looked at her, she saw Vanessa showed a gentle smile in her eyes.
“You must be Elsie, right? Alfred told me that you are my younger sister. Come over here, Elsie. I'm sorry. Something had happened to me this year, and I lost my memories about my past. Elsie, will you blame me for not contacting you for so long?”
Elsie felt hard done by and wanted to cry. She rushed over to Vanessa and hugged Vanessa, and cried.
Vanessa was at a loss. She did not remember anything, and she only knew that her name was Vanessa. Vanessa knew that she had a husband after she woke up, and her husband told her that they had married for more than a year. He told Vanessa that she had encountered a hunt down by her enemy this year, and she lost her memories later.
They had beaten the enemy, and their situation had settled down. So she could meet her family. She had chatted with her adopted daughter Annie just now.
Alfred told her that Annie was her best friend's daughter. Vanessa felt affectionate towards Annie when she saw Annie, who was sweetly calling her Vanessa. Although Vanessa had lost her memories, they still had a close and intimate bond with each other.
Vanessa was happier when she saw the girl who looked exactly like herself walked in. She thought she would chat with Elsie about the matters that had happened to them this year and ask Elsie about how they used to get along. However, Elsie came in and burst out crying while hugging her. Vanessa did not know what to do to comfort Elsie.
“Elsie, it's my fault. I'm sorry that I forgot about you after the incident this year. Don't worry, and I'll try my best to recall all the memories.”
“Vanessa, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I want to cry because I miss you too much. I want to hug you and cry. Don't worry about me.”
Elsie hugged Vanessa again and cried out after she spoke.
She did not know why she was crying. Was she crying about meeting Vanessa again, or was she crying about feeling aggrieved at what had happened to Vanessa? She thought that Alfred had made things this way. Could she still force Vanessa to recall all those painful memories?
She could not do it, but she hated that Alfred was a madman who wiped out Vanessa's memory and reoccupied her. He purposely did it. However, Elsie did not dare to tell the truth. Alfred knew that she did not have the heart to tell Vanessa the truth. He had reoccupied Vanessa's heart and life.
“Elsie, don't cry. Vanessa is worried about you.”
Annie spoke by the side. Vanessa was close to her since she came into the house. Although Vanessa said that she had lost her memory, Annie did not understand it, and she did not care about it.
She was happy that she met Vanessa again. Annie did not care about the memory matter, and she did not think that was important as long as Vanessa was still close to her and still be with her. Annie did not expect that Elsie would be so sad. She looked at Elsie, who had been crying at Vanessa's side for almost half an hour. Annie could not help but begin to comfort Elsie.
Elsie faintly raised her head and wiped her tears. She uncontrollably choked with a sob, and even her body twitched. She could not control the twitching of her body, which probably because she had been crying for so long.
Vanessa hurriedly poured a cup of warm water and handed it over to Elsie.
“You've been crying for so long, and your body can't stand it for this long. Let's drink some warm water. I'm here right now. Don't be sad anymore, and I'll not leave you for so long in the future.”
Elsie was a little happy when she saw Vanessa was gentle and rosy, and at least Vanessa was healthy and alive.
Elsie could temporarily not think about the sordid things that Alfred did. She sat on the sofa and drank some warm water. Vanessa gave a smile for apologies to Ivan, who had been sitting by the side.
“Mr. Simpson, I'm sorry for not entertain you nicely.”
Ivan shook his head.
“If you two sisters want to talk, I'll just accompany you guys by the side.”
Vanessa nodded and asked curiously.
“Didn't Alfred go to pick you guys up? Why has not he come over yet since you guys have been in for so long?”
