Chapter 1002



Meanwhile, Sophie and the others arrived safely in Burmoos. Sophie let out a sigh of relief.

Instead of returning home, Sophie headed toward the Reeves estate. But she stopped before reaching it and called Calvin.

Calvin and Elma were completely unaware of the events unfolding in Halsland.

Calvin had a sinking feeling when Sophie called at such a late hour.

“Sophie? Is something wrong?” he asked, his voice filled with worry.

“Yes, Calvin, something’s wrong,” Sophie replied, her voice serious.

“Are you alone? I have something important to tell you, but no one else can know. It’s really serious.”

“I’m alone,” Calvin assured her, his voice low. He quickly slipped into a small room. He had checked this room previously. It was a small storage room, unlikely to be disturbed. There were no security cameras, so it was safe to talk there.

Cautious as ever, Calvin lowered his voice to a whisper.

“Okay, Sophie, tell me what’s going on. I won’t tell anyone, I promise.”

Sophie took a deep breath and told Calvin everything that had happened in Halsland. She left out the details of her own close call, focusing instead on Kallie’s amnesia.

Calvin’s blood ran cold as he listened.

“This is terrible!” Calvin exclaimed.

“I knew Jake was bad news. Elma had a sudden fever this afternoon for no reason. I pointed out that Lacey must have something to do with it, but Jake didn’t believe me and wasted so much time on it. If he had gone to Halsland sooner, none of this would have happened!”

Sophie sighed.

“No one could have predicted this. If Elma suddenly fell ill, would you just leave her alone?”

Calvin didn’t answer. Sophie and Elma were both family, and he couldn’t bring himself to choose between them.

Though Calvin blamed Jake for his delay in reaching Sophie and Kallie and rescuing them from danger sooner, he couldn’t help but chide himself for not being strong enough to shield them better. He had vowed to protect them from any danger that came their way, yet here they were, caught in a terrifying predicament.

The thought that Kallie had forgotten them all filled Calvin with a deep ache. He asked, his voice trembling with anxiety, “Sophie, is it true that our mom has forgotten us? Why did this happen? Can she get her memory back? Will she ever remember us again?”

Sophie sighed, her brow furrowed with worry.

“I’m not sure, but she may regain her memory one day. I think she might be under hypnosis. She doesn’t even realize she’s lost her memory. Someone must have planted those false memories in her mind. Worse, she even believes Clayton is her husband. I know this might upset you, but we need to ask Jake for help. We’re just kids, Calvin. We can’t do this alone.”
