Chapter 531 Your Mommy is in the Hospital for Treatment
As Adeline listened to Molly's words from outside the bars, she stayed quiet for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Jasper likes me? Protects me?"
Back in the day, when Jason said Jasper liked her, Adeline might've been a bit skeptical but somewhat convinced.
But now, locked up in a mental hospital by Jasper and going through hell, she could only think Molly was either nuts or just messing with her. And it was pretty clear Molly was doing the latter.
"Yeah, Jasper used to like you and protect you; you just didn't see it," Molly said, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Otherwise, Adeline, do you really think you'd still be alive? Without Jasper, you wouldn't have made it this far!"
After that, Molly yawned. "But who cares, that's all ancient history. Since you got locked up here yesterday, everything's changed."
As Molly spoke, she glanced at Adeline's tightly bandaged pinky finger. "It hurts, doesn't it? But I'm telling you, this is just the beginning. Here, all the torture can be blamed on two things: your mental illness causing self-harm or treatment. Jasper won't suspect a thing. Maybe, when Jasper sees your corpse one day, he'll get what you've been through."
Molly laughed heartily and stood up. "Adeline, you can't beat me; why bother? I told you when we were kids, you were too perfect and needed to tone it down; otherwise, you'd make me look bad. But you didn't get it and kept pushing me to be better. Now you should understand the price of perfection, right?"
With that, Molly strutted away in her high heels.
Adeline sat there, watching Molly's back, biting her lip hard.
Just as Molly was about to leave the room, Adeline couldn't help but call out, "Don't drag Bennett into our mess."
Molly's footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned her head, glaring coldly at Adeline. "What Bennett? There's no Bennett around me!"
Molly squinted her eyes and spoke seriously, "The kid who looks a lot like your son is named Liam. He's my slave. As long as he listens to me, I'll treat him well. Otherwise, who knows what might happen. Bennett no longer exists in this world; your son is dead, Adeline!"
Then Molly strode away.
Adeline sat there, silently closing her eyes.
At this point, she didn't have many hopes or desires left. The only thing keeping her going was her three kids—especially Bennett, who had lost his memory.
Outside the mental hospital, a black Bentley was parked in the corner.
Bennett, wearing sunglasses, sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at Sebastian, who was also wearing sunglasses.
Bennett asked, "Sebastian, what's the deal with her and Adeline? Molly asked me to help get Adeline in here, but she won't let me contact her, and now she shows up herself. Weird, right?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Sebastian's eyes under his sunglasses, but he still smiled foolishly. "I don't know."
"Forget it, asking you is pointless." Bennett sighed and gave Sebastian's shoulder a gentle pat. "But don't worry, man. We've been through a lot together; you even lost your memory to save me. Whether the woman you like is good or bad, I'll help you get her."
Just as Bennett finished speaking, the car's back door swung open.
"Who does Sebastian like?" Molly, wearing the same sunglasses, slid into the back seat and asked in a faint voice, "You're so young, and you're already helping adults chase women?"
Seeing Molly return, Bennett quickly chuckled, "Nah, just joking around. I was just wondering if Sebastian had a woman he liked before."
Molly snorted and laughed coldly. "He did have a woman he liked before. Unfortunately, that woman is about to die."
Sebastian's body suddenly stiffened.
Adeline was about to die? The last time he saw her, she seemed fine.
Seeing Sebastian still looking clueless, Molly irritably waved her hand and ordered, "Drive."
If Molly had known, she wouldn't have given Sebastian the amnesia drug too. Letting him remember Adeline and watch her die bit by bit would have been so much better.
The black Bentley started up.
Not long after it turned and drove out of the mental hospital, it brushed past a black Maserati.
Bennett, usually indifferent to everything, unexpectedly glanced up at the car for once.
In the back seat of that car sat a little girl in a pink tulle dress with pigtails. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her eyes were big and bright, like she had walked out of a painting.
Bennett was a bit dazed. Not because the little girl was beautiful, but because she felt inexplicably familiar. It seemed like she was a relative from a past life, like a sister.
Soon, that car was just a black dot in his vision. Bennett sighed and shook his head. What was he thinking? His mom only had him; where would he get a sister?
As he sat in the back seat of the Maserati, Jasper looked at Lauren, who was leaning against the car window, staring at the rearview mirror. Jasper couldn't help but frown and ask, "Lauren, what are you looking at?"
Lauren pouted and finally withdrew her gaze. "I saw a handsome guy wearing sunglasses in the passenger seat of that car just now."
Blake glanced at her. "At a time like this, you're still looking at handsome guys? Mom is suffering!"
Lauren pouted, wanting to explain, but she swallowed her words.
Actually, she wasn't staring at the guy because he was really handsome. It was because Lauren felt that he reminded her a lot of Bennett.
But Lauren couldn't casually mention Bennett now, because Blake said that talking too much about Bennett might get her locked in a mental hospital by Jasper, just like Adeline!
The conversation between the two little ones made Jasper frown slightly.
Jasper turned to look at Blake. "Blake, your mom is in the hospital for treatment, not suffering."
"Really?" Blake snorted coldly and threw the cases of patients committing suicide and being murdered in the mental hospital at Jasper. "Will you only believe that my mom is suffering when she appears in these news reports?"
