Subconsciously, I grasped the curtain tightly and hid behind it.
Peter had come again⦠Did Michael ask him to come?
On the surface, Michael pretended to be guilty. In actuality, he wanted Peter to erase my memories.
âMs. Stephie, itâs time to eat.â Outside the door, the nanny knocked again.
Hurriedly, I went back to the bed and tucked myself in. I pretended to still be asleep.
Soon, I heard the door open.
The person who came to my bedside wasnât Michael. It was Peter.
I clenched my fists subconsciously.
I tried my best to look natural. I didnât want to be exposed.
Peter stood beside the bed for a while. He seemed to be observing me.
A while later, he chuckled. âOnly a fool would believe in reincarnationâ¦.
âDr. Jones, you donât believe that either, right?â At the door, Yasmin walked in. âBut Michael believes her.
Sheâs clearly a liar. No matter how good she is at acting, sheâs still a liar. She canât be Stephanie.
Stephanie is dead. I put in so much effort toâ¦
Yasmin stopped speaking.
âMichael loves Stephanie, so he would rather make up a character. The person can be Stephany, but it can be you too,â said Peter.
I let out a sigh of relief. Peter was intelligent. He wouldnât believe that I was Stephanie.
âI wanted to⦠But Stephany appeared aff of sudden.â Yasmin gritted her teeth.
It seemed that she still wanted to pretend that she was Stephanie.
you âThereâs no need to rush. With such a fake around, youâll seem more real.â Peter laughed. âAs long as listen to me, not only will Michael believe that youâre the real Stephanie, but Steven will also believe that youâre Stephanie.â
Yasmin was excited. âDr. Jones, what idea do you haveâ¦â
âIf Stephany can impersonate Stéphanie, you can too. Besides, you know Stephanie better than her,â said Peter.
âMichael canât see the truth because of his guilt. Did you feed him the medicine that I told you to give him every day?â
âYeah. He took it just now and is asleep now. Ever since Stephanie passed away, he has gone insane. He doesnât notice anything amiss,â Yasmin said softly.
Chaple/300 âThe medicine causes hallucinations. So, itâs easy to trick Michael. As for Steven, heâs a lunatic.
After my treatment and hints. Heâll believe that youâre Stephanie after heâs discharged.â
My chest tightened. I clenched my fists.
Peter!
What did he do to Steven?
âIf Stephany finds out about our planâ¦â Yasmin said in a soft voice.
âSo what? Sheâs a fake, too⦠The one whoâs better at acting will win.â Peterâs finger grazed my face.
I felt a chill.
âDr. Jones, youâre right. The better one will win.â Yasmin smirked. Walking toward me, she grabbed my chin and said, âStephany, letâs see how long you can remain this arrogant. When Steven and Michael think that Iâm Stephanie, they will cherish me instead⦠As for you, Iâll let you have a taste of being trampled on!â
âAlright. Donât forget what I told you to do,â said Peter in a deep voice.
Yasmin let go of me and walked over to him. âRecently, the police are keeping watch over me⦠Itâs hard for me to take actionâ¦â
âThink of a way as soon as possible. They canât wait for long,â said Peter.
Yasmin and Peter then left.
I knew what they were scheming. Based on the conversation between Yasmin and Peter, they had been working together for a long time.
Peter mentioned that they couldnât wait for long. Who were âtheyâ?
It didnât matter what Yasmin and Peter wanted to do. I needed to get Steven out of the asylum as soon as possible.
What if Peter could really make Steven not repognize meâ¦
What would happen then?
Hearing the sound of Peterâs car leaving. I secretly left my room and sneaked into Michaelâs room.
Michael was in deep sleep.
What an idiot⦠He had no idea that Yasmin was causing him harmÄ® âMichael?â I patted his face.
Perhaps the medicine was too strong. Michael couldnât wake up.
âStephieâ¦â
Michael was calling my name.
I wanted to leave, but he suddenly grabbed my wrist.
Chapte: 300 âStephie⦠Iâm sorry,â Michael choked out. He seemed to be having a nightmare.
I tried my best to shake his hand off, but he pulled me onto his bed instead. âStephie⦠Come back, please.
Iâm sorryâ¦
When I wanted to break free from him, the door opened.
