Chapter 1147 Successfully Unraveling the Knot
Lassie knew Hannah didn't believe her.
Just a moment ago at the emergency room entrance, she had the same reaction.
But after going through it once, Lassie knew how to handle it.
"I'm telling the truth! Your real name is Violet. Hannah is the name of Lisa's biological daughter! You're actually a year older than Hannah.
You were kidnapped in your sophomore year of high school and went missing! After that, I don't know what happened, but you ended up with Austin.
Austin is my adopted son, your brother.
He's liked you since you were little. To be with you openly, he had a psychologist erase all your memories of Violet and implanted Hannah's memories."
Hannah was stunned, unable to believe such a fantastical story. "I admit, I'm weak and crave warmth, but I'm not a fool. Don't you think what you're saying is ridiculous?"
Lassie's heart broke hearing her words. She reached out and hugged her, gently patting her back with warm hands. "Hannah, trust me! I'm telling the truth! Think carefully, do you remember what your grandmother looked like?
You said you lived with your grandmother when you were little, but do you remember the details of living together?
Every little thing? What kind of person was your grandmother? How did she take care of you?
What did she like to eat? What was her favorite thing to do? How did you spend your birthdays with her?
Do you remember any of this?"
She had figured it out! Although Hannah had been hypnotized, her mind was filled with memories of Hannah.
She had subconsciously accepted the identity of Hannah.
But fake was still fake.
Even if she claimed she lived with her grandmother when she was little, what about the details?
When the psychologist hypnotized her, it was impossible to implant every detail of those years into her mind.
At this moment, Hannah should only have a general memory, without any specifics.
Hannah was stumped by her questions, thinking for a long time.
What kind of person was her grandmother?
Why couldn't she remember at all?
What did her grandmother like to eat? What was her favorite thing to do? How did she spend her birthdays with her grandmother? She couldn't remember any of it.
She only knew she lived with her grandmother when she was little.
But beyond that, she didn't know any details of their life together.
That was impossible!
Even though she had been back with Lisa for a long time, she was old enough when she left her grandmother, not a three-year-old with no memory of her childhood.
She was old enough to remember clearly.
Moreover, her grandmother was the only one who had given her warmth and love, she couldn't possibly forget.
What was going on?
Hannah was bewildered!
She thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Feeling her body stiffen and silent for a while, Lassie let go of her, cupped her face, and smiled, "You don't remember at all, do you?"
Her tone was incredibly certain.
Hannah's eyes were full of confusion, then she hesitantly nodded, "Why? Why is it like this?"
Lassie said, "Because what I said is true! You went missing in your sophomore year of high school. Your current identity and memories don't belong to you! You're not Quentin and Lisa's biological daughter. Their daughter drowned a few days before you returned to their home! Austin forcibly implanted memories that don't belong to you, so you think they're your parents and believe you're the real Hannah."
Hannah hesitantly asked, "Austin? Is it that Austin?"
Lassie was surprised, "You've met him already?"
Hannah uncertainly said, "A while ago, I had some trouble, and he helped me. He told me his name was Austin!"
But because she had only met him once, she didn't remember immediately.
Lassie nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's him, that's Austin! He's your brother, my adopted son. You two grew up together!
I didn't know he had such feelings for you.
Given your identities, you absolutely can't be together! To be with you, he took you away and had someone erase your memories, then forcibly implanted Hannah's memories into your mind.
That's why you only remember being Hannah and living with your grandmother, but don't remember any specific details.
You're not Hannah, you didn't personally experience it, so how could you remember the details! You were too young, your willpower was weak, so your memories were completely erased without any residue."
Afraid Hannah still didn't believe her, Lassie held her hand urgently, "If you still don't believe me, I can take you for a DNA test! I can lie, but the test won't!
Trust me, I'm telling the truth!
Since you were kidnapped, I've been looking for you. All these years, I've been going crazy missing you! When I found out about you, I came immediately.
Hannah, come back with me, okay? I really love you! You're the precious daughter I raised with all my love.
You were always obedient and sensible, I couldn't even bear to scold you, and Lisa dared to abuse you every day.
Trust me, I'll make sure to avenge you!
I won't let anyone who hurts you get away.
I really love you, you're not a child without love. Your dad is waiting for you at home.
And Charles, Fannie, Maria, Declan, Randy. They're all waiting for you at home."
After hearing Lassie's words, Hannah finally believed her, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice trembling, "You're really my mother?"
Lassie nodded, "Yes, I'm really your mom! From the moment you were born, your dad and I poured all our love into you.
Violet, come back with me, okay? I really can't live without you."
Listening to her heartfelt words, Hannah finally had no doubts, tears streaming down her face.
She moved her lips, stammering for a long time before finally calling out, "Mom."
Lassie cried tears of joy.
She hadn't heard that word in so long.
It felt like a century had passed.
She couldn't hold back anymore, pulling Hannah into her arms. "Sweetie, my sweet daughter. All these years, I've been thinking about you every moment! I always wondered, if I had picked you up from school that night, would you have been kidnapped?
Violet, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well, and you suffered so much.
But don't worry, I've always loved you, you're not a child without love, we all love you.
Me, your dad, your siblings, we all love you.
Come back with me, okay?
Let me make it up to you."
Charles said Violet's trauma was caused by Lisa and a lack of love.
As long as she told Violet she wasn't a child without love, that everyone loved her and was waiting for her, she would definitely open her heart and agree to go back with her.
Once she took her away, Violet could wake up.
