Chapter 726

“I used to wonder why I had no memories before I was around that age. Eddy told me we had been kidnapped, but I don’t remember anything at all.

“So, it’s very possible that Sarah took me to see a psychiatrist to hypnotize me, making me forget what had happened back then.”

Caroline continued, “But why would she do that? Was it to make me forget that brutal kidnapping?”

But if that were the case, why hadn’t Layla and Eddy undergone hypnosis too? Caroline felt her head hurt the more she thought about it.

Seeing Caroline in such pain, Kirk hugged her in distress.

“Darling, don’t think about it. Hypnosis is the most I can allow. I absolutely won’t let you undergo the next plan.

“If you can’t move on from your trauma, I’ll take you away from here. Perhaps you’ll get better after we go abroad and leave this environment.”

Caroline pressed her cheek against Kirk’s chest. As she listened to his strong heartbeat, her heart ached.

She wouldn’t get better if they did that. She wouldn’t get better, even if she escaped to the ends of the earth.

Undergoing treatment was the only way for her not to live in suffering. If she kept living in suffering, Kirk would also be suffering with her. She didn’t want that. However…

“Okay, if I can’t recover, we’ll go overseas. Perhaps I’ll get better after we leave,” Caroline said, looking at Kirk with a smile.

The more she behaved like this, the more Kirk’s heart ached. “Let’s go home.” He held her hand, unwilling to let go.

“Okay.” Caroline followed Kirk into the car.

The journey home was silent. When they got home, Caroline took the chance to go to the bathroom to call Quentin.

“Quentin, I recall asking you to keep an eye on Sarah and Dan. Did you find anything?”

Quentin answered, “They’ve been staying put in the villa. They barely go out, and they haven’t contacted anyone either. But Layla visits them sometimes. Why are you asking? Did something happen?”

“No, it’s nothing.” Caroline shook her head.

After a moment’s hesitation, she said, “I may have to trouble you again with something.”

Quentin laughed. “You’re too kind, Caroline. We’ve already worked together many times, and you always paid me handsomely for it. It’s my job to run some errands for you.”

Caroline smiled in return. “But you’ll have to investigate a lot of things this time, and it will take a long time. You may need a lot of manpower and resources.”

Quentin became interested. “Really? Since this is a difficult task, I better investigate carefully.”

When Caroline heard his words, she laughed. Then, she told him about Yvonne.

After hearing Caroline’s explanation, Quentin clicked his tongue. “That is very strange. Only a blind person would have trouble recognizing their five or six–year–old child. Okay, I’ll make sure to investigate this thoroughly. Is there anything else?”

“I also want to know everything that happened when I went abroad when I was about five years old. I want you to find out the reason why Sarah and Dan sent me abroad and whether they had me undergo hypnosis after that.”

Quentin drew a breath at her words. “This is a pretty difficult job. But don’t worry; I like a challenge. Just stay put. I’ll help you investigate this.”

Caroline hummed in assent. After she hung up the phone, she slumped down the wall weakly.
