Chapter 2206
If a person had died more than 20 years ago, they would never again walk the world of the living no matter how
powerful Samuel thought he was.
Malcolm sighed and looked at Luna and Joshua apologetically. “My father is just desperate to save my grandmother;
that’s why he came up with these lies. I—”.
“I’m not lying,” interjected Samuel before Malcolm could finish. He then looked at Luna and Joshua and bowed to
them. “A priest should not lie, and I am not lying.”
He mustered a small smile as he stared at the shocked Luna and Joshua. “Remember the two rings you talked
about that contained video chips? You thought I was the one who made it after Lucy died, but it wasn’t me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSamuel shifted his gaze to stare forward as he added indifferently, “The two rings were made by Lucy herself. I’m
sure Joshua knows that she was a jewelry maker.”
Joshua furrowed and looked at Samuel, puzzled. “It doesn’t make sense.”
If Lucy did not die back then, she would have gone looking for Charles or gone back home to look for Granny Lynch,
judging by her personality. Samuel’s story did not seem to add up to that.
Moreover, if she had the time to make the two rings, why did she not return home? If she did not die, where did she
go?
“She lost her memory,” said Samuel after seemingly reading Joshua’s mind.
Sighing, he lamentingly continued, “Lucy truly did survive, but her life was at stake. When she was on the verge of
death due to the torture she had gone through, I tricked Quentin by saying that I had ruined Lucy’s face, which he
eventually believed. I used another corpse to replace Lucy and ruined the dead body’s face as well before
replicating all of Lucy’s body features to the dead body, making sure Quentin wouldn’t suspect a thing.” Samuel’s
expression softened with what seemed to be melancholy.
“Since I had harbored feelings for Lucy at one point, I wanted to take her away secretly and perform a proper
burial, under the impression that she was dead. When I was on the way to pick a burial spot for her, however…she
started breathing again.
“So, I used the excuse of becoming a priest to leave DRPM:IJ tried every method available to treat her. It took her
five years for her body to recover, but her brain had automatically erased all the painful memories.
“I did try to restore her memory, but no matter what methods I tried, it was futile. In the end, I showed her the
video that showed how she was tortured and humiliated, and I told her that she had to remember it because there
is an act of revenge awaiting her. “At that very moment, she told me that she didn’t want to face it. She didn’t want
anyone else to see those videos…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSamuel closed his eyes, and the image of a woman with clear, pure eyes from 20 years ago appeared before him.
“Samuel, I know you’re doing it for my best interest, but if the condition with the Landry
family and the Lynch family is already irreversible because of me, then what good could there be if I return?
“Should I choose my beloved husband, or should I choose my mother who killed my husband’s brother? I can’t
choose, and… I don’t want to face that nightmare again. I strongly believe that there is a reason that my brain
erased my memory.
“I want to archive these two videos. When either the Landry family or the Lynch family wanted to know the truth,
they could unravel it.
“You can say that I’m weak or irresponsible, or you can even hate me…but I just want to live the life I have now.”
Reminiscing back on Lucy’s exact words, Samuel sighed. “That’s why I secretly exchanged one of the rings with the
original one that Lucy gave to Jim. I wanted to give the other ring to someone from the Lynch family, but I failed to
contact anyone.” Then, he looked at Luna. “One year ago, when I met Luna in the Quinn mansion, I gave the ring to
her because she was desperate to find out the truth about what happened.”
