Chapter 919
Odell grimaced in silence.
After a while, Skylar continued, “Since there are no signs of any physical damage, then the source of it all must be
mental. I doubt that the second master kidnapping her for a day would have resulted in her losing memory of
everything over the last nine years. I believe that her amnesia should be closely related to the trauma from her
half–year stay in Galston that resulted in her depression.”
With all that information provided, she asked, “She refuses to tell me about those six months in Galston. Do you by
any chance know what she experienced during that time?”
Odell answered, his voice was hollow, “She was imprisoned by Thomas in those six months and was frequently
threatened, and even terrorized by him.”
“Was that all he did?”
Odell frowned and added, “She was locked up in a dark room, all by herself, for more than three months.”
Skylar pressed further, “What did he do to her during those three months?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I have no idea:”
All of what he just told Skylar had been relayed to him by Aunt Tonya.
Sylvia had never mentioned anything about her time in Galston. It was a traumatizing mark in her life that she
preferred not to acknowledge.
As much as he wanted to know, he was aware of how hard it was for her to speak about it and had never asked her
about it.
Skylar observed Odell‘s expression and mentioned carefully, “I believe the second master is still in Westchester
now.”
A sharp gleam appeared in Odell‘s eyes as he said, “He‘s at the police station.”
“I believe that what happened to Mrs. Sylvia was a direct result of those three months. Do you think you should ask
the second master about it?”
Odell grimaced, “Hm.”
He supposed he would have to.
At Carter‘s old residence.
Aunt Tonya told Sylvia about everything, from the beginning to the end. First, she covered Sylvia‘s marriage with
Odell, then about how Tara had tried to get in between them. She told Sylvia about how they had gotten divorced
after that and how it had ended with Sylvia taking Isabel away. Then they had reunited and remarried three years
later. After that, things had gone awry with Madam Carter and Sylvia nearly lost her life at Cloudy Heart Lake
because of Tara. The story continued until the point where
Sylvia had gotten kidnapped by Thomas and ended up unconscious at the hospital.
As the story had gone on, the sky outside had turned from day to night. Sylvia was dumbfounded by all the
information that she had received and was having trouble processing all of them. After a long while, she asked in
utter disbelief, “I got married and divorced twice with Odell?”
“Yes, and it was all because of that witch, Tara.” As an afterthought, Aunt Tonya suddenly added, “And Thomas.”
Tara and Thomas.
Sylvia felt a burst of rage burning inside her upon hearing the mention of their names, perhaps due to everything
she heard about them from Aunt Tonya.
It was especially so regarding Tara. When she considered how they had grown up together in the district, she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthought of her as her friend. She used to share everything with her, whether it was her deepest secrets or her most
treasured belongings.
She felt much better upon hearing that Odell had finally realized what Tara truly was and cut things off with her for
good.
“So where is Tara now?” She asked curiously.
Aunt Tonya shook her head, “I‘m not too sure about that either. I haven‘t seen or heard about her since you
returned from Gaston.”
Sylvia nodded.
Her thoughts went to Thomas.
“Thomas.” She muttered.
As the name escaped her lips, it felt strangely familiar, even though she had no memory of it. She asked in a
puzzled voice,“ Why did he do all this to start with? I‘ve never done anything to get on his bad side, so why did he
want to tear me away from Odell?”
Aunt Tonya seemed very troubled and was at a loss as to how to answer such a question.
After she thought about it, she asked, “Sylvia, do you have no memory of Thomas at all?”
“No, this is the first time I‘ve heard about a secret brother of Odell. I‘ve never even met him before.”
The man who had been standing by the door the entire while smiled upon hearing this.
