Chapter 232: Thoughts

"Nora, do you really think you are as smart as your sister here? How could you even think of participating in the competition?"

"You should be grateful that I am even caring for you! I hated you so much that I wish to throw you in the garbage every day. It is only because of Sara, your sister cares so much for you..."

"Why can you not just die? All I want is for you to die, but you keep living and reminding me of my miserable life with that man!"

Eleanora’s eyes snapped open as the woman in her dream raced towards her with a knife raised. Drenched in cold sweat, she whimpered, expecting to feel the stab of a knife.

It took her a moment, as she clutched the bedsheet under her that she was somewhere else. Frowning, she tried to think where she was. Had she lost her memory again? This was not her room. No, if she’d lost her memory again, she would not have remembered losing her memory previously. So...

Just then, a hand reached her and wiped her face gently. Seeing the man and the white bandage around his head, she felt a sweep of relief so intense that she jumped into his arms before she could even think," Oh! Thank heavens you are alright! I was so. worried..."

Demetri quickly held her in his arms, hugging her back as he gelt her shudder in relief. He smiled as he buried his face in her neck, her mind had forgotten him but her heart had not.

As she felt his warm breath over her, Eleanora realized how foolish she’d been, jumping him like that. What if his wife were to come in at a time like this? She would be so hurt and misunderstand. Though with the despicable way this man had been behaving, he deserved to be beaten by his wife.

With a sudden push, she stepped away from him hurriedly and sat back down on the bed. Closing her eyes, she tried to think what had transpired. They’d been playing. Then he’d been hurt. And then she’d panicked...

Her frown deepened as she tried to remember what happened after that...

Unaware that his wife had been planning to beat him up a few moments ago, Demetri kneeled down in front of Nora and held her hand," What is it? Are you still not feeling well?"

"What happened in the garden? How did I end up here?", she questioned the man.

Demetri carefully patted Nora’s hand as he questioned back," What do you remember?"

As she recounted the entire incident to him, Demetri realized what had happened. Carefully, he looked at her and answered her question," You had a panic attack at the sight of my blood. The doctor had to give you a sedative... The old doctor could not have carried you there and I was too hurt to take you all the way, so we brought you here."

Eleanora nodded and looked away quietly," Thank you. I’ll go back now. It is already night outside..."

Needing the time to think and escape her current feelings, Eleanora hurriedly took her leave, ignoring the man as he called out for her to have some dinner.

The reason for her hurrying away was that she remembered something. As she’d told Gaia what had happened, she’d remembered shouting for someone. A name... something. She needed to find out who it was. Who was her Mr Husband? Somehow, she had a feeling that Gaia knew more than he let on. And it was not something that she was comfortable with... It was better to continue as if nothing had happened.

Whatever fragments of memories were returning to her, they voices and the backgrounds were getting clearer. So people would soon too. The doctor told her that her mind would start clearing once she was in better shape...

Early the next morning, Eleanora continued to try and think of the thoughts that were knocking at the back of her head with no success, as she played around with the cereal in her milk.

Unaware of her distraction, a little tornado rushed in with a loud," Noraaaaaa..."

Nora looked up to see Dora running at her full speed and quickly caught the girl in her arms, thankful that she was already sitting or she would have landed on her backside...

With an oof, she caught the girl and patted her back as she clung to her," You are alright! I was so scared yesterday! First Gaia was hurt and there was so much blood and then when I fetched the doctor, you were sick! I don’t like my sisters being sick! And you are my favorite sister."

Eleanora hugged the little girl closer and smiled as she kissed her sweet dumpling-like cheeks," And you are my favorite sister too. Much better than Sara."

Dora grinned at being proclaimed the favorite but then frowned," Who is Sara?"

"Hmm? Sara?"

"You said I am your favorite sister better than Sara? Who is Sara?"

Eleanora’s brows furrowed at that. She never realized that she’d mentioned Sara...

But she could not tell Dora that..." I meant Evangeline. You are much better than her."

Dora was pleased at that. She was more loved than her perfect sister! Yes!!!

Happily, she wriggled and slid her way off her sister’s lap and peered into the bowl in front of her," Can I have some fruit loops? Gaia promised to get me some if I kept quiet about you screaming but you already have the fruit loops so can you give me the loops..."

Eleanora’s eyes sharpened at that. What did Dora mean about Gaia asking her to not talk. Gently, she pushed the bowl in Dora’s direction while she questioned," What did he say?"

"You were screaming so loudly that I was scared. So when Gaia consoled me said I should forget what I heard and he would give me some fruit loops. That way, I can forget the fear I felt then. But it is already morning and he did not come yet. I want those loops. And you have them too. That way you can forget that you were shouting random name like Demetri Demetri at the top of your voice..."
