Female Novel
Chapter 1771
As dusk settled in, a courier delivered a letter to Maja's doorstep, a letter that mentioned the humanexperiments that had befallen Sarah.
Maja, who had been the picture of calm, became utterly disheveled after reading the contents. Shepoured over each word, starting to doubt her own grasp of the language. So, it wasn't just Patrickwho was part of a successful experiment, but Sarah as well?
Lillian's memories resided within Sarah's body, and now those memories were awakening? Nowonder she always felt Sarah's gaze upon her was fraught with complexity, as if there were atorrent of words waiting to burst forth, yet suppressed.
She rubbed her temples, suddenly recalling Lillian's body, laid to rest in the catacombs beneathForbidden Island, now sealed away forever, along with her.
Lillian was the one Maja had been searching for all these years, and to receive such news soabruptly left her unable to find her composure.
She tried to call Sarah, but the phone just rang unanswered. Unable to wait even a second, Majareached out to Beck.
Beck had never set foot inside the research base and was clueless about what Ian and others hadencountered there. He only knew of Sarah's brilliance, her creation of an antidote for his father, andher constant presence by his father's side.
But this time, with Ian's incident, Sarah had traveled all the way from North America to Greenfield.
Silence enveloped Beck as he read the letter.
He and Dylan had mostly known the impostor Cynthia. They didn't know when their real mother hadbeen swapped over. The fake Cynthia had maintained a polite distance during her years among the
Sanders family, never once having a heart-to-heart with her sons.
Their visit to Forbidden Island and the encounter with the real Cynthia later had been heart-wrenching.
Just as they had come to terms with Cynthia's death, this revelation had sprung up. No wonderSarah had kept this from them - she was as tormented by her identity as Patrick was.novelbin
This was the cruelty of such experiments, the reason why human experimentation was banned - itwas a flagrant violation of fundamental human rights.
Beck didn't know what to say and rubbed his temples in frustration.
Dylan, on the other hand, seemed relatively composed; he had suspected something off aboutSarah during his time at the research base. Her subsequent care for the Sanders family had raisedhis suspicions, and now that they were confirmed, he found himself quickly coming to terms with thetruth.
If Sarah currently harbored Cynthia's memories, then she likely bore no malice towards Maja;perhaps she genuinely wanted to help Ian develop an antidote.
"Dylan, Beck, I can't reach Sarah on her phone. Could something have happened to her? And whosent us this letter? If it was Bernard's doing, what's in it for him?"
Bernard was a man who never played by the book; with the fake Ian still unaccounted for, who knewwhat he planned to do with him.
Sitting on the couch, Maja mulled over it, her head a bit aching. Meanwhile, Fitch had purchasedflowers and made his way to the cemetery.
Every year on this date, he visited Yvonne's grave.
Bernard had personally chosen the site for Yvonne's resting place. Their love had been profound,and upon her death, Bernard's hair turned white overnight, aging him beyond his years.
Fitch laid the bouquet in front of the tombstone, and sighed as he looked at the photograph of thegentle woman.
