Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 343

I flipped through the logs and read: "Stephie vomited again today. The medicine that Peter had prescribed seemed to have some strong effects. The child had adverse reactions to it and has become rather dull."

"Wendell took Stephie to the orphanage today. When she came back, her clothes were all torn. I was worried that she had fought with the other kids there. I asked Wendell about it, but he said that she had been well-behaved today. Stephie didn't get into any fights, and she even learned how to cry!"

I was reading between the lines. It was apparent that my mother was very excited about the fact that I had cried.

I carefully recalled the vague and foggy memories.

Before I met Steven, it seemed that I really wouldn't cry. I hadn't cried when I was born.

Doctors at the time thought I was mute, but I started to speak a lot earlier than others my age.

Later, they would deliberately try to provoke and hit me to incite a reaction, but I never cried.

According to the logs, the first time I cried was when I went to the orphanage. I was wearing a red dress at the time.

I believe that was the day when the people at the orphanage tried to take my dress off.

I carefully went through the logs and found that my mother's records about me were very detailed. She had logged in an entry almost every day. But on the days when I was sent to the asylum, the logs were blank. No records were made.

It indicated that my parents probably didn't know what Peter's treatment for me entailed.

I went to the next log and read: "Stephie got angry at the neighbors today because they complained about us having a large dog. She was mad that they wanted us to get rid of Georgie."

…

My mother had only recorded my daily life at home in her logs.

What surprised me was that she hadn't mentioned anything about Steven or Simeon at all. It felt as if she had excluded them on purpose.

I was close to Steven and Simeon, so my parents couldn't have not known about my relationship with Steven.

But I couldn't work out why she didn't mention a word about it in the logs.

She had only mentioned them vaguely once. The log read: "Stephie made some friends at the orphanage. They seem to trust her a lot and like her very much."

There was another sentence from another log that read: "Stephie seems to naturally attract children with congenital personality defects. They seem very trusting of her and they get along very well."

I carefully went through the logs. Most of which were mundane daily reports of my life, but those two sentences made my scalp tingle.

I kept in mind what Zion and Eason had said. They said that these didn't seem like regular logs, but more like records made when conducting an experiment.

I took a deep breath and continued to flip through the logs.
