Chapter 740

Quentin broke into a smile and said, Tll tell you about Yvonne first, then.”

He continued. “I found out that she had indeed been adopted from an orphanage.

“But she was taken away from the orphanage in just a couple of months. It doesn’t match up with what you told me about Ms. Weiss‘ daughter.”

“Is it possible that she joined the Hacketts only when she turned five or six years old?” Caroline asked, even though she felt that the possibility wasn’t that high.

That’s possible,” Quentin said.

“I’ve looked into it. After she was taken away from the orphanage, the Hacketts‘ nanny took her to the countryside.

“The Hackett couple only visited her occasionally, and she went to live with them when she was around five or six years old.”

Caroline had never expected her assumption to hit the bull’s eye. “But I still think that this all sounds ridiculous. Even if they had seldom met, they shouldn’t have mistaken their daughter for another five–year–old.”

“We’re on the same page,” Quentin agreed.

“That was why I had someone look into this. But since it happened long ago, we need a lot of time to get any clues on this.“.

Caroline lowered her eyes. “It’s fine as long as we get to the end of it.”

She wanted to clear things up because this was related to Marietta.

“No problem,” came Quentin’s voice from the other end of the line.

“Also, about your case I’ve looked into it too.”

He said, “You’ve been to a mental health clinic overseas when you were five or six years old. The psychologists there specialize in wiping out people’s memories.”

“Wiping out memories?”

“Yep. They hypnotize people to erase their memories. I’m not sure how it’s done, though, but the Caroline muttered, “So that’s why I can’t remember anything that happened before I was five years old ”

“Huh? What were you saying?” Quentin hadn’t heard her clearly.

“It’s nothing,” said Caroline, dismissing his question.

“Did you find out why Sarah had taken me there?”

“Yep. I went through the case files. Based on the psychologist’s report, you had PTSD after getting kidnapped when you were young, so she took you there to get rid of those memories.”

“Did you discover anything else?”

“Nope. That’s the only evidence that I’ve managed to recover.”

Caroline nodded in understanding. “Okay. Got it.”

“I’m hanging up then.”

“Okay.” Caroline nodded. The call ended, but she continued to grip her phone.

So Sarah had taken her to see a doctor just to wipe out the memories of her getting kidnapped?

She furrowed her brows in deep thought. Just then, she heard the sound of someone turning the doorknob. It must be Kirk.

She rushed to the door, only to see Kirk in a gloomy mood. Although he smiled adoringly at her when he saw her, she could sense that he was in a bad mood.

“What’s wrong?” She approached him and put her arms around his neck.

He lowered his eyes to look into her mesmerizing ones and found himself thinking of the three options that Michael had told him of.

He swallowed and pulled her into a tight hug. With their hearts beating next to each other, it was as if they were one.
