“Hahaha. What are you thinking about, silly girl? I’m just an old man. How could I kidnap someone? Besides, why would I kidnap Hendrey when he’s your boyfriend?”
Crayson turned around, entered the house, and poured a glass of water for Veronica. “Come on. Have a glass of water before telling me what happened. Look at the sweat on your face!”
Veronica was enraged and stomped her feet. “How could you still joke when Hendrey is kidnapped?!” “Okay, fine. I’ll stop joking. Finish the water, and I’ll figure out a way with you,” he urged her to drink the water first.
Grabbing the cup angrily, she finished the water in one go and slammed the glass on the table with a bang. “Done! Now can you figure out a way to save Hendrey?!”
“Alright. Take a seat and tell me about the situation.” Crayson pulled her down to the couch before she narrated what happened after school to him. But as she spoke, she suddenly blacked out and lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she felt a terrible. headache. “What’s wrong with me, Master Crayson? My head hurts.” “Silly girl, you tripped and fell over a rock at school. That’s why your head hurts.”
Veronica thought it was true, hence she went to school as usual the next day. However, she noticed that Hendrey was no longer present, so she asked around and found out that he had migrated abroad with his whole family. They also mentioned that the family left in a hurry.
Those memories slowly popped into Veronica’s mind. The severe pain that felt like an explosion made her roll around on the ground with her head in her arms. She even hit her head against the floor heavily due to the unbearable pain.
After a while, she felt her pain subside significantly and leaned weakly against the bed. She was as limp as a puddle of mud, but as she leaned sideways motionlessly, she recalled what Crayson and Hayley told her. It felt extremely ironic at this point.
“How could this happen?” she muttered while raising her hands to cover her head. Why did Master Crayson fail to seal her memories and even made her recall all her previous memories? Strangely, I even managed to understand them speaking in hidden tongue easily when I’m not wearing the miniature translating device!
Crayson was usually reliable and never failed to complete tasks, so what exactly caused this. situation to occur? Veronica couldn’t fathom why, and when she tried to figure out the reason, she would feel a sharp pain in her head.
Not wanting the pain to grow intense, she simply got up, lay in bed, and shut her eyes without thinking about it. Despite everything, she also found out why Crayson would attack Matthew.
That was because every guy who showed up around her would never end up well. Matthew, on the other hand, was skilled in self- defense, so Crayson had nothing against him. What could’ve happened after Hendrey was kidnapped back then?
She suddenly realized that Hendrey hid many secrets as well. Every incident that happened after the kidnapping was so mysterious that she couldn’t figure them out.
Nonetheless, she was certain of one thing- Hendrey was not an enemy. “I’m so tired… Veronica sighed heavily as her memories gradually returned to her. For the first time in her life, she felt like a puppet whose whole life had been controlled.
After careful thought, she also figured that her adoptive parents, Tony and Daniella, were probably not as innocent as she thought. If it hadn’t been for this accident, Veronica would’ve lived her entire life as a joke.
However, here came the tricky part. Matthew must’ve thought her memories had been sealed. How was she going to explain the situation to him?
