Chapter 252 Exposed
Freya looked towards the door and saw Eric Lowe with red eyes. Even Joan Lowe seemed taken aback by Eric Lowe’s attitude.
“Eric…” She reached out to hold Eric Lowe’s arm.
Eric realized that he had gotten too worked up, and Joan Lowe was still by his side. But Freya could clearly see his panicked expression.
What was he panicking about? What was he so flustered about? What was he trying to hide?
“Eric, why are you so excited?” Joan Lowe asked gently.
Eric Lowe quickly tried to calm her down, saying, “It’s nothing, I just misunderstood something. Did I scare you?”
Joan Lowe shook her head, “I’m fine, but you don’t seem alright.”
Eric Lowe deliberately sent Joan Lowe away, saying, “I’m just thirsty, can you get me a bottle of water?”
Joan Lowe agreed, saying, “Okay.”
After Joan Lowe left, Eric Lowe stared at Freya with a sinister look, “You’re Elijah’s wife?”
Freya took a step back, gripping the edge of the table, “Yes.”
Eric Lowe squinted his eyes and approached her. Sivin Peters quickly intervened, blocking Eric Lowe, “Eric, calm down.”
Eric Lowe pushed Sivin Peters away, “Are you doing this on purpose?”
Sivin Peters’ face instantly darkened, “Eric, after all these years of our relationship, don’t you trust me?”
He sighed with disappointment, “If I couldn’t keep your secret, it would have been known by everyone a long time ago.”
Eric Lowe realized he had gotten too worked up and lost control.
“I’m sorry…” Eric Lowe looked flustered.
“I didn’t know she was so young, and I didn’t know she was already married, let alone to Elijah Silverton. Perhaps… everything is destined. I operated on Joan Nash back then, and now her daughter-in-law has become my prized student…” Said Sivin.
“Don’t say anymore!” Eric Lowe interrupted him.
Sivin Peters felt that Eric Lowe had become paranoid and wanted to enlighten him, “Even if I don’t say anything, Freya won’t either. But we can’t keep hiding it. What’s in Joan Lowe’s mind is a threat to her life. She has already undergone two surgeries and can’t handle any more turmoil. If we don’t remove it, she may slowly regain her previous memories. Sooner or later, she will know everything. You can’t keep hiding it…”
Eric Lowe stared at Freya with bloodshot eyes, “But she can’t tell Elijah.”
For him, every day he could hide it was a day gained. Even if there was day Joan Lowe remembered everything, and she started hating him, resenting him. He would accept it. But he couldn’t allow the truth to be revealed now.
“Sivin, you’re a doctor. If we join forces, we can ensure that there will be no traces left. And even if the truth comes out, I can guarantee your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life.” “Eric.” Sivin Peters was shocked by Eric Lowe’s words.
“Freya, you go out first.”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Eric Lowe’s mind was clouded now. He was capable of committing a crime.
“Don’t even think about leaving.” Eric Lowe blocked the door and closed it.
After hearing so much, Freya had a basic understanding of the situation.
Sivin Peters and Eric Lowe were good friends, so Sivin Peters helped Eric Lowe implant something in Joan Lowe’s mind, which affected her memories. Joan Lowe thought she had undergone one surgery. But in reality, she had already undergone two surgeries. Now, for the third time, it was already another surgery. Moreover, the things in her mind had to be removed, or else they would threaten her life. The fact that Eric Lowe wanted to silence Freya showed his guilty conscience.
Joan Lowe was actually Joan Nash. Eric Lowe changed her name, using his own surname and keeping her original first name.
Freya understood everything. She just couldn’t comprehend how Eric Lowe had pulled off the switch. And he even managed to hide it from the Silverton family, which was even more puzzling because they hadn’t noticed.
“If I don’t speak, can your secret be hidden forever?” Freya tried to remain calm and confront Eric Lowe with a steady mindset. “You only have two choices now. One is to let Joan Lowe keep the thing in her mind, continue with her amnesia, but risk dying at any moment. The other is to remove what’s in her mind, restore her memory. Once she regains her memory, she will remember the past, and you won’t be able to hide it. If she finds out that you killed her son’s wife, will she hate you even more? Unless you choose the former.”
Eric Lowe took two steps back in succession. He feared the most that the woman he loved would hate him. Seeing Eric Lowe loosen up, Sivin Peters signaled to Freya to leave quickly. He approached Eric Lowe and held him back. “It will be discovered sooner or later. Don’t continue down this wrong path.”
“You think I’m wrong?” Eric Lowe was shocked. So, even Sivin Peters believed he was wrong?
“You were already in the wrong. It’s not wrong to love someone, but depriving someone of the right to enjoy motherly love is wrong.” Freya believed he was wrong.
Because of him, Elijah grew up without parents.
“What do you understand?” Eric Lowe raised his voice. “It wasn’t me. She would have died long ago. The Silverton family is a place where people are ruthless. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been harmed. If I hadn’t taken her away, her life would have been even more difficult, and she might have continued to be harmed! She would have been killed by now.”
Freya couldn’t argue against that. After all, Elijah’s mother and father were both victims. Joan Nash was still alive, thanks to Eric Lowe.
“Swear that you won’t tell Elijah Silverton about this, and I’ll let you go,” Eric Lowe compromised.
Freya couldn’t keep what she knew hidden from Elijah.
“Elijah is my husband. I can’t keep it from him.”
Suddenly, Eric Lowe chuckled. “I absolutely won’t let you leave this room with today’s memories.”
Freya frowned.
Sivin Peters glared at Freya, thinking that whether she chose to leave or not would determine how this situation unfolded. Eric Lowe knew what he was doing. He was initially blinded by anger, but now he was clear-headed. He looked at Sivin Peters. “You’ve already helped me once, so help me again. I’m not asking you to commit murder or arson, just help me make her forget today’s events.”
Sivin Peters wouldn’t agree. “Joan Lowe’s condition is already life-threatening. If we do the same to Freya, she will also face similar problems in the future, and it will endanger her life.”
“I don’t care. I won’t allow her to leave this room with the memory of today!” Eric Lowe lowered his voice and yelled in anger.
Sivin Peters looked at Freya, hoping she would give in.
“You should agree first.” Sivin said.
Freya pursed her lips and shook her head at him.
Sivin Peters became annoyed. “Why are you being so stubborn?”
“It’s not about being stubborn, it’s about my attitude. Even if I promise not to tell, can I really keep it from Elijah? He’s my husband, how can I possibly hide it from him?”
“If you can’t hide it, then don’t blame me for being harsh with you…” As he spoke, Eric Lowe pushed Sivin Peters aside and walked towards Freya.
Suddenly, the door opened.
“Eric…”
Joan Lowe came back with a bottle of water. Eric Lowe turned around. And behind Joan Lowe, another person appeared.
Freya also saw him. She felt like she had found a lifeline.
“Elijah!”
