Hearing that, Casey's eyes brightened immediately and asked somewhat excitedly, "Edith, do you really remember it? Great! I thought that it'll take a long time to revive your memory."
As he spoke, he tried to hold Edith into his arms. He didn't expect that Edith would remember everything so easily. She should remember everything just after looking at a photo!
To Casey's surprise, Edith still moved back warily. Judging from her eyes, she was on guard against him.
Casey was a little puzzled, asking, "Edith, what's wrong with you? Didn't you remember everything?"
Edith looked at Casey with an angry expression and said, "I remember that there was a software that could process images when I was in college. With that software, you can turn two pictures into one naturally. I remember that I got myself a picture of Jay Chou and me in that way at that time. You must have got this photo in that way."
Casey was a little speechless. He thought that Edith remembered that she was his wife, but she actually remembered that pictures could be processed.
"You're a bad person. Let me go. I won't give in to an evil person like you. I want to meet my father and ask him to punish you!" Edith spoke excitedly.
Casey gave her a glance helplessly. Then he took his mobile phone and said, "There's no need for you to meet your father. He had agree to let you stay here."
"You're lying! How is it possible that my father would agree to let me stay here with you?" Edith didn't believe what Casey said at all.
Casey found a video in his mobile phone and showed it to Edith. He specially recorded it after discussing with Darius yesterday.
In the video, Darius told Edith her true story and the lies he told to her before. He told Edith that Casey was indeed her husband and that Emma was sent by Old Lady Sue to watch her.
While Edith listened to what Darius said, there were gradually a complicated expression in her eyes. She clearly knew one thing: Casey could process the picture, but he couldn't process the video. This time, Casey didn't lie to her.
She had a mixed feeling even after she watched the video. She didn't herself to have such an experience. When she was a baby, she was abandoned. After that, she was brought up by her adoptive parents. Later, she had a car accident for some reasons. In this accident, she lost her memory. Then she was taken to H City by Darius.
This man, who she always considered to be someone trying to make trouble for her, was really her husband.
In the past more than twenty years, she was called Edith Patel, not Sylvie Sue.
For a person who had lost her memory, it was very painful to suddenly get so much shocking information. She was in a turmoil. She felt that she should remember many things. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember anything.
After a long time, Edith stared at Casey in a daze and asked, "Are...Are you really my husband?"
Casey nodded seriously at Edith, after which he approached her, held her into his arms and said, "Don't worry. In the future, I won't let you suffer any grievance. I'll definitely figure out a way to help you revive your memory."
This time, Edith didn't try to push him away. She nestled against Casey's chest, finding that she was familiar with his temperature and heartbeat, as if she usually leaned against it in the past.
Finally, Edith lowered her guard and leaned her head against Casey's chest.
Having received too much information in a short time, Edith was dizzy. Soon, she fell asleep in Casey's arms. Casey put her on the bed. After staring at her for a long time, he quietly left the room.
