“Joan!” She was startled by that familiar voice.
Even when Delilah heard it, she unconsciously took a few steps back.
“What are both of you busy with? Joan, I've been trying to reach you for a long time. Why didn't you contact me?” Gabriella marched in and stated in a loud voice.
All Joan wanted to do was bury her head in the sand like an ostrich that instant. She was too distraught by this woman to face her calmly. Every time they met, Joan could only recall the time where she was kidnapped and abused.
“Gabriella, what are you doing here?” she stammered, feeling uneasy.
“I came here to see you. What's wrong? Have you been doing well recently?” Gabriella asked.
Didn't she lose her memories?Why would she think of me suddenly? Suspicious, Joan looked at the assistant standing beside Gabriella.
“Ms. Ward's memories are starting to come back,” the assistant explained.
Does it mean that Gabriella remembers whatever she has done to me in the past? If she remembers everything, won't she plot against me again? Fear ran through Joan's veins.
Gabriella was a clever individual and would never let someone else take advantage of her.
“Gabriella, have some water.” Delilah waved the visitor over.
Watching Delilah's actions, Joan was somewhat dumbstruck.
Since when is she so polite? I thought she hated Gabriella.
“That's enough. She has already lost her memories, so you shouldn't agitate her further. If she recalls all the evil deeds she had done to you, I'm afraid you won't be living in peace anymore,” the older woman clarified while nudging Joan.
Regardless, she will recover her memories sooner or later!
“Gabriella, why do you have the time to stop by our place today?” Delilah pointed out in a gentle and welcoming tone.
