Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: This Woman Is Not Simple
Zoey Sanders couldn’t tell if the woman in front of her was a bad person.
But her questions made Zoey feel like she was probing for sothing.
Moreover, this woman gave Zoey the sa feeling as a little girl in a painting: seemingly kind and smiling, but looking at her too long gave an inexplicable chill down her spine.
Zoey thought about it, perhaps it was because she was in an unfamiliar environnt.
After all, in a strange place, one cannot completely relax and will always be on guard.
What’s more, Zoey had suffered so many tis before.
One Nora Brown was enough to teach her all about human nature.
So Zoey reminded herself not to let her guard down.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t even know how she’d end up dead.
She repeated these words in her mind twice, urging herself to be fully alert.
Faced with Evelyn Sinclair, she was actually cautious but appeared sincere on the surface.
Evelyn Sinclair narrowed her eyes slightly, as if discerning the truth of her words.
“Sister Evelyn, what’s wrong?” Zoey asked when she saw Evelyn not speaking, “You don’t believe ? Everything I said is true.”
As she spoke, Zoey lifted her bangs, revealing a faint scar on her forehead.
“Look, about two months ago I was kidnapped, and there’s another one on the back of my head. Ever since the severe injury, I occasionally experience signs of amnesia.”
Evelyn glanced at her forehead, indeed seeing a scar that hadn’t faded.
Evelyn’s expression deepened, “Is it incurable?”
“The doctor said the sequelae are difficult to treat. I’m afraid I might even forget yesterday’s events today.”
Zoey was earnestly spouting nonsense.
She couldn’t tell if the seemingly kind woman in front of her was a bad person, and even if she was, Zoey couldn’t leave their place, so she could only feign ignorance.
Zoey carefully calculated in her mind, making a flawless facade.
Evelyn stared at her for a few seconds before stopping her questioning, “It’s fine, you should eat quickly, I’ll send you away once you’re done.”
With that, Evelyn stood up, turning with chilling coldness in her eyes.
She only believed part of Zoey’s story, because the wound on her head was indeed real.
But it didn’t exclude the possibility that she was cautious and lying in front of her.
Evelyn walked over and naturally poured a glass of water, placing it beside Zoey, “Have so water.”
Zoey stood up after finishing, “Sister Evelyn, I’m done eating.”
Evelyn nodded, “Sit for a while, I’ll call soone to get you clothes and arrange a car for you.”
“Okay, thank you, Sister Evelyn. I have nothing on to thank you with, but once I’m ho, our family will invite you to dinner.”
“No need to be polite.” Evelyn smiled lightly and walked out.
Zoey sat on the nearby sofa, once again alone in the room, so quiet that she could almost hear her breathing.
Soon, Zoey faintly slled an inexplicable fragrance.
Zoey blinked, looked around, but couldn’t determine where the strange scent ca from. As she stood up, she suddenly felt her legs weaken and fell back.
Soon, the fragrance grew stronger. Zoey wanted to cover her nose but had no chance.
Her eyelids grew heavy, her mind dizzy, and her strength faded away, even lifting her hand felt burdenso.
“This scent…” Her voice trailed off as she couldn’t finish her sentence before she completely fainted.
After five minutes, Evelyn walked in from outside, glancing down at the unconscious Zoey on the sofa with dangerous narrowed eyes.
She waved her hand, and two subordinates stepped forward and carried Zoey to the bed.
“Go call a doctor in.”
Soon the doctor ca in, and Evelyn said coldly, “Examine her brain condition. She said her brain was injured back and front.”
Evelyn crossed her arms, looking at Zoey on the bed.
The doctor quickly approached, first checking Zoey’s forehead wound, then the one on the back of her head.
After so consideration, the doctor said, “The wounds are real.”
Evelyn almost kicked the doctor, “Do I need you to tell that? Am I blind?”
“Um…”
“She said she has intermittent amnesia due to brain injury; I want you to see if it’s true.”
The doctor paused, “I can’t determine that just by looking, but her injury was indeed serious at the ti. The perpetrator wanted to kill her, went at it ruthlessly. With such injuries, even if she recovers, there will likely be sequelae.”
“So her claim of intermittent amnesia is true?” Evelyn frowned.
If Zoey’s claid amnesia was true, she would be of no use to them.
Soone of no use need not be kept.
“That isn’t certain either, as sequelae can vary. I can’t confirm if her claid amnesia is true. Her wounds have healed, and we don’t know the extent of her brain injury at the ti, but having her previous dical records would tell us if she was truthful.”
“That’s simple, then. Go investigate and find out all her information.”
Evelyn stared at Zoey.
She didn’t care if she was telling the truth now; being here, she’d eventually have to reveal the truth to her.
The subordinates received orders and left, and another ca in to report, “Miss, Master Cloud seems to be looking for this woman!”
“What?” Evelyn narrowed her eyes, “He’s looking for this woman?”
“Yes, a large number of people are searching that stretch of woods; it seems they’re looking for her.”
“So this woman is important to Liam Cloud?” Evelyn’s gaze returned to Zoey, “Ha, you little brat, I knew you weren’t simple.”
“Miss, the master instructed you to extract useful information from her soon; this woman needs to be dealt with cleanly, cannot be discovered by Master Cloud.”
Evelyn’s expression turned cold.
“What’s there to fear? More than just us are watching Liam Cloud. It won’t be easy for him to determine who took this girl away.”
