Chapter 152
“Alright!” Ayden took the photo without asking any questions and left as soon as possible
He was like Marcus right–hand man, doing whatever Marcus asked without questioning why
After Ayden left. Marcus checked the time it was already 7 am and the two grannies at Southern Peak
should be awake by now
After some thought, he called Southern Peak, and once the butler answered, he passed the phone to
Granny Luisa.
Perhaps because she had company, Granny Luisa sounded very energetic. “Marc, today is the holiday.
If you want to keep living with Nelly, remember to call your Granny Rebecca. Of course, not just on
holidays, you can call her more often and chat with her. She’s soft hearted, a few kind words will make
her happy.”
Granny Luisa finished in one breath, and Marcus found a chance to speak, “Granny, happy holidays!
Actually, I called today mainly to talk to Granny Rebecca”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGranny Luisa’s mood dropped instantly. “You little brat, you’ve forgotten about your granny since you
got married, huh?”
Marcus said, “Granny, I have something important to ask her.”
Granny Luisa wasn’t unreasonable, she was just a little jealous. She grumbled while personally
handing the phone to Granny Rebecca, who was having her therapy Jeremy’s looking for you, do you
want to take the call?”
1 cant ignore him if he’s looking for me” Granny Rebecca took the phone and heard Marcus say,
“Granny, happy holidays!”
Granny Rebecca happily replied, “You tool”
Marcus got straight to the point, “Granny, I came to you today because I actually wanted to ask about
Cornelia”
Granny Rebecca said, “I told you, I won’t get involved in you young people’s affairs anymore. It’s up to
Nelly whether she wants to get back together with you”
Marcus said, “Granny, I’m asking about Cornelia’s father and the truth about the car accident back
then.”
Mentioning the car accident, Granny Rebecca’s face turned pale instantly, “Did something happen to
Nelly? Did she remember something?“.
Marcus asked, “Doesn’t she know her father died in a car accident?”
“She only remembers that her father died in a car accident, everything else is forgotten. She was too
young back then. It’s better that she doesn’t remember the details, otherwise. “Granny Rebecca was
still heartbroken when talking about the past.
It’s been almost 20 years, but that car accident was still vivid in her memory. Her own son’s bones were
crushed, and he died on the spot. Her five–year–old granddaughter was also lying in a pool of blood.
She survived, but for a long time afterward, she couldn’t even speak.
The doctor said it was post–traumatic stress disorder and that unless she completely forgot about the
incident, otherwise she might never speak again,

Granny Rebecca’s voice was hoarse, Jay, I’m begging you, please don’t mention this in front of Nelly.
The past is the past. The most important thing is that she can live a good life.”
Marcus reassured her, ‘Granny, don’t worry, Nelly’s fine, and I won’t do anything to hurt her.”
Although Granny Rebecca didn’t give many details, it was enough for Marcus to confirm his suspicion.
Cornelia was only five at the time, and children that age would have some memories, especially of
impressive events.
If Cornelia couldn’t remember anything, there was only one possibility.
After her PTSD, her brain’s self protection mechanism was triggered, and she chose to selectively
forget that part of her memory.
She had forgotten, but encountering specific situations might trigger that buried memory again.
That memory was like a ticking time bomb, ready to strike her hard like it did today.
After ending the call, Marcus couldn’t calm down for a long time.
He had to come up with a foolproof plan to secretly help Cornelia eliminate this hidden danger.
Next, he called Steven, 1 remember you have a friend who’s a PTSD expert. Get in touch with him as
soon as possible
