Chapter 161: Chapter 161



.

“You want to know who the father of your child is, don’t you?” Maria slowly approached her.

Dolores couldn’t help but take a step back. Just at that moment, a woman wearing a peaked cap and a mask entered the room.

She could tell it was a woman by the way she was dressed.

But he could not see her face clearly.

The creaky old iron door slammed shut and locked.

Dolores was standing at the back of the room, and her hands were sweating after the woman entered.

Her heart raced as she heard the door slam.

Although the woman said nothing, Dolores could sense her unkindness and resentment toward her.

Maria turned around and greeted, “There you are. They seemed to know each other well.”

The woman made a nasal sound coldly in response.

She stared at Dolores.

Dolores couldn’t see her expression clearly in the dim light, but above the mask, she saw that her eyes were filled with hatred.

Dolores felt panicked, but forced herself to remain calm: “Who are you?”.

The woman did not answer her question, but sneered, “You don’t have to know who I am. What you need to know is that, from now on, everything you have will be mine. Y… -he paused abruptly and then continued with a cold, terrifying smile-, now that you’re here, I won’t let you go free. You put my mother in jail and forced me to leave B-town. You never expected me to be able to come back, did you?” As soon as she finished, she and Maria surrounded Dolores.

Dolores looked at the woman in panic and shock, “You’re Annabelle?”.

“Huh, you remember me. You’re not as stupid as I thought.” Annabelle smiled and turned to Maria, “Will you join me?”

Maria curved her lips, “Since I have her, I won’t let her go at all.”

Dolores stared at the closed door, trying to escape. But Annabelle seemed to read her mind, “Don’t try to escape, because it’s impossible. We had it all planned to bring you here. You have no chance of escaping.”

“Why are you doing this together?” Dolores asked intentionally to buy time, and reached into her pocket for her phone, only to find that it was missing.

“Don’t you know that the enemy of the enemy is my friend?” Annabelle pinched Dolores’ chin, “I’ve spent four years for you to come and get revenge. If you hadn’t come back to Country Z, I should have remained Miss Flores, and my parents’ beloved daughter. But you ruined everything, so how can I do without you?”

Dolores shook his hand, “It was you who ran off with the money when Randolph’s company was in trouble. You’re the one to blame, not me…”

Slap!

Annabelle slapped Dolores hard across the face. Dolores tried to slap back, but was stopped by Maria.

Annabelle narrowed her eyes and glared at Dolores angrily, and sneered, “You’re about to die. How dare you talk back and slap back?”

“Cut the crap.” Maria couldn’t wait to torture Dolores. Thinking of Dolores’ happy and glorious life, Matthew’s affection for her, and their two children, Mary felt indignant and wanted to kill her.

Dolores felt a sharp pain.

Her waist was hit by Mary with some things. Her waist was stinging, but she was unable to defend herself against two crazy women.

They beat her at random as if they were insane criminals. They punched and kicked her, pulled her hair and cursed her.

Dolores tried to run away several times, but all to no avail.

Annabelle pulled a stick from somewhere and hit Dolores’ head. Dolores was blinded by pain and collapsed to the ground. Before she lost consciousness, she heard Maria say, “Stop, don’t kill her.”

“If we don’t kill her, she will always be a threat. You can’t be sure she won’t show up again in B-town and in Matthew’s life.”

“I’m sure she won’t.”

“Your brother loves her so much…”

Dolores passed out and, when she awoke, found herself in another room. She heard the conversation between Sampson and the doctor, knew what Sampson was going to do to her.

She finally figured it all out.

Maria and Annabelle didn’t kill her because Maria knew Sampson was in love with her. But they were afraid that she would return to B-town, so they injected her with a drug that would make her lose her memory so that she would live with Sampson in the future.

And then she would disappear in Matthew’s life forever.

She didn’t know why Annabelle would collaborate with Maria and Sampson, but she knew that the three of them conspired everything.

“Don’t be afraid, Lola. I won’t hurt you.” Sampson approached slowly.

Dolores gripped the curtain tightly and hid behind it, trying to stop Sampson’s approach by this means, “Don’t…don’t come closer.”

“Lola…” Sampson ignored Dolores’ words and continued to approach.

Just before Sampson reached Dolores, Dolores slowly moved and ran out to the door. She anxiously tried to open the door, but all to no avail. She didn’t stop and kept turning the doorknob with all her might.

“You can’t open it.”

Sampson walked calmly toward her with cold eyes, “I can keep you alive and I can also keep you from escaping. Everything here is under my control, so you can’t leave here without my permission.”

Dolores clenched her fists involuntarily.

“Lola, you haven’t forgotten at all, have you?” Sampson stared her straight in the face.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Dolores hid her terror, looked quietly into Sampson’s eyes and asked aloud, “You said you’re my brother and we’re family, but why are you forcing me to get an injection?”

“You’re sick. I want you to get well as soon as possible.”

“I’m not sick!”

“Well, you’re not sick. I won’t give you an injection. Come here.” Sampson extended his palm upward, showing the crisscrossed lines on it.

Dolores looked at his hand. If she refused, he would find out she hadn’t lost her memory and force her to take the shot.

She can’t take the injection. She can’t lose her memory.

She released and clenched her fists again and again to calm herself, then slowly put her hand in Sampson’s.

Sampson took her hand gently and smiled, “Good girl. You’re my good little sister.” Dolores felt disgusted, but had to disguise it.

“Are we home?” she lowered her eyes and asked softly.

“No.”

This place is too close to B-town. Matthew may find her sooner or later, so they can’t stay here too long.

When she was taken out of the apartment, she was injured and needed treatment. Besides, he won’t let her leave here with the memories of what had happened before.

So it was a makeshift home where she received medical treatment. When she recovered and had her injection, he would take her away and they never came back.

“Where is our house?” Dolores took the opportunity to test the waters.

“A long way from here.” Sampson doubted she’d really lost her memory, so he didn’t tell her where they were going next.

He didn’t force her to take the injection because he was sure she couldn’t escape.

He held Dolores’ hand tightly and kissed it, “We live a long way from here. When you get better, I’ll take you home.”

Dolores wanted to pull her hand away instinctively, but Sampson tightened his grip and asked, “Lola, don’t you like it when I kiss you?”

Dolores lowered her head to hide her expression, “You’re my brother. Brothers don’t kiss their sisters.”

Sampson stroked her hair, “Silly, we’re not brothers. We’re… lovers. I love you, and you…love me. We’re in love, don’t you remember?” Dolores shook her head.

Sampson took her in his arms, “It doesn’t matter. I remember, and I’ll tell you later about our… love story.”
