My Three Darlings

Chapter 134

Acquitted? Eliza frowned. “Did you hear wrongly?” How could Esme be acquitted? As the witness of the kidnapping of Roseane on that day, she did not withdraw the confession or retract the report. How could she be acquitted? “It’s true.” On the other end of the line, Xander’s voice was full of anger. “It is said that Esme’s father presented a report of Esme’s mental illness. After verification, Esme is suffering from erratic anxiety. She was ill when she planned to kidnap my sister!” “Eliza, isn’t he lying?” “How could this happen!” Eliza tightened her grip on the phone on the other side. No wonder she and Ethan saw Riley’s car when they came out of the mental hospital. It turned out that Riley’s trip to the mental hospital was not to find evidence of her hospitalization and sickness, but to find someone to prove that Esme was mentally ill!

She closed her eyes and said, “Calm down first, I will find a way.” “Okay!” On the other end of the line, Xander gritted his teeth. “Eliza, my sister is already like that. I don’t want the culprit to go unpunished.” “Of course, it has nothing to do with you. Just try to help me if you can.” “If there is really no other way… I will go to fight with Esme to the death. My life is worthless anyway!” His words made Eliza frown slightly. “Roseane wouldn’t want you to say that.” After that, she sighed. “First, settle Oliver and Mariam down. Wait for my news.” After saying this, she did not wait for Xander’s reply and directly hung up the phone. Ethan, who was in front of her, frowned, “What happened?” “Mr. Hill.” Eliza raised his head and looked at him seriously. “The intermittent explosive disorder, do you know this?” Ethan, who was sitting in front of her, smiled. “Did your friend get this illness?” “No.” She pursed her lips and told Ethan what Xander had said on the phone. “Mr. Hill, in this case, what should we do?” “You’ve asked the right person.” Ethan took a sip of his coffee and said, “I’ve done a lot of research in this field.” “Give this patient to me. If she is ill, I can cure her and let her go to prison again.” “If she is not ill… I will let her get what she deserves.” When it came to the words “get what she deserves”, a strange smile appeared on Ethan’s face. Eliza felt a chill run down her spine. Although she knew that Mr. Hill was actually a good person, his sinister smile made Eliza instinctively shiver. Her voice trembled slightly. “Then Mr. Hill, would you like to do me a

favor?” Ethan smiled faintly, “Of course.” “But…” Ethan’s long and narrow phoenix eyes looked faintly at Eliza. “I helped you yesterday for the sake of Owen.” “I’m helping you today because I think you’re not bad.” “But I can’t always help you.” He elegantly put the coffee cup on the table and said, “Eliza, we’re neither relatives nor friends.” “If I said I could only help you with one thing, what choice would you make?” He looked at her face firmly with his bottomless eyes. “To find drugs for your at the research institute or to fight for your friend’s case. You can only choose one.” “What’s your choice?” Eliza was stunned. She had never thought that Ethan would ask her this question. It occurred to her that Ethan was neither relative nor friend, and would not help her for free. She also thought of paying him afterwards. 2 But now he threw this question out, and even explicitly asked her to choose between the two. Eliza bit her lip. On the one hand, she wanted to regain her memories, but she didn’t want to suffer like yesterday. It was the best choice to let Ethan go to the institute to help her find medicine. On the other hand, she also had some responsibility for Roseane’s current situation. Moreover, the Comtois family was in a bad mood now.

punishment in the end… She thought for a long time. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Ethan seriously. “I choose to help my friend.” Even if there was no medication, as long as she worked harder, she could always find her memories. But Esme was different. If Esme escaped this time, there would be more people who would be injured next time. Moreover, even if Esme did not commit any more crimes after that, who would pay for Roseane’s pain? Ethan lightly lifted his lips and looked into her eyes. “Okay.” “However…” Ethan’s voice was mysterious. “If I do this for you, you have to do me a favor.” Eliza nodded. There was no such thing as free lunch in the world. “What do you need?” “I don’t know.” He looked at her and smiled. “In short, it won’t be murder and arson, nor will it ruin your family.” “I’ll tell you when I’ve thought it through.” “It’s a deal.” After the two of them agreed, Ethan simply asked Eliza for some information about Esme and left. After Ethan left, she first called Xander to appease the Comtois family, and then sat alone in the restaurant in a daze. After a long time, she picked up the phone and called Luca. His phone was still powered off. She could only leave him a message helplessly. “A friend said that I might not have been crazy five years ago.” “He also said that my amnesia could have been

caused by someone, not mental illness.” “Dad, you were in charge of all the procedures for my hospitalization. You should be the one who is most clear about my illness. Can you tell me what’s going on?” “Don’t hide it from me anymore. I remember now. My child isn’t dead.” After sending the message, Eliza let out a long sigh and put the phone away. However, she did not expect that Luca would call her not long after the message was sent out. “Eliza.” Luca’s voice on the other end of the line was much hoarser and more haggard. “Why did you suddenly mention what happened five years ago?” “Did Beau tell you that?” Eliza frowned. What did the incident five years ago have to do with Beau? “So Dad, what happened five years ago?” Luca was silent for a long time. “It was indeed me who sent you to a mental hospital.” “But I had a reason.” “You were injured at that time. For some personal reasons, I couldn’t send you to the hospital. I happened to know a friend in the mental hospital. She suggested that I send you to the there.” “Getting you admitted in a mental hospital was to treat other illness, not to abuse you.” “Also, don’t look for your child.” “You are just a surrogate mother. The child is someone else’s bloodline. Even if you find that child, what do you want to do?” “Let the child leave the father and the family and follow you? Will your husband agree with you on this?” “If you can’t take the child back, then what’s the difference between seeing him and not seeing him?”
