"Judging from the lighting and color of this photo,it was directly taken.Looking at the enlarged lines of the photo,the layout is clean,and there are no signs of it being a composite.I conclude that the photo is real."
I couldn't accept this.
Am I really Richard's wife?Is it just because I lost my memory that I forgot the details of getting along with him?
I wasn't convinced.I went to the marriage registration office in New York City.After checking,I found that Richard and I got married a year ago and were legally husband and wife.
I almost fell to the ground.
Lisa quickly supported me."Sister,he must have forced you.As long as you recover your memory,the truth will come out."
Yes,the most urgent thing now is to recover my memory.
Jack found an expert for me.
"The amnesia caused by the car accident,coupled with the long-term use of sedative drugs,has made the current condition very serious.To recover,it will take time.In addition to taking drugs to improve memory,certain psychological treatment is also needed."
Lisa was afraid that Richard would find me,so she settled me in a hidden rental house,and Jack took care of me.He told me a lot about the past and took me back to our alma mater.I saw the cherry blossom tree and the European-style teaching building in the photo.
I felt at ease.Even if I couldn't recover my memory,I was satisfied.
However,reality always catches people off guard.
That"nightmare"became clearer and clearer,and I was like a monster.When I woke up in the middle of the night,not only did I laugh maniacally,but I also pointed a knife at Jack.
"Do you love me or her?Tell me,tell me quickly!"
I was extremely strong.The fruit knife against Jack's neck pressed deeper and deeper,and blood was flowing down the knife.
There was tenderness in Jack's eyes.Even though he was in excruciating pain,he still couldn't bear to resist me.
He gritted his teeth tightly,his eyes filled with glistening tears."I love you,Lily.I don't know what Richard did to you.From now on,I won't let you suffer the slightest harm."
I looked at him,and my heart was moved.What's wrong with me?
The knife fell to the ground with a clang,and my reason returned.I hugged him and cried,and then fainted.
This kind of behavior happened almost every day,and various strange scars appeared on Jack's body.I felt very guilty.I wanted to quickly remember everything about the"nightmare,"but the more anxious I was,the more confused I became.
Moreover,in recent days,some irrelevant pictures also appeared in my mind.
A woman with a figure similar to mine was doing inexplicable things.For example,drowning a pet dog in the bathtub,tearing clothes to pieces,going to a bar to dance,and having sex with a strange man.
Why did such pictures appear in my mind?Who is that woman?What's her relationship with me?
Just when I was tortured and in a state of unease,Jack got some news about Oliver Reed.
Since graduation,he seemed to have vanished into thin air and there was no news of him.However,he donated a sum of money to the orphanage that raised him every year.
The orphanage wasn't far from New York City,and we visited the director that same day.
"You're looking for Oliver Reed?"
The director was playing with the envelope in his hand."Here,Reed just donated a sum of money.I was just about to write a thank-you letter."
I casually glanced at the director's hand.It was at this moment that I suddenly found a very familiar address.
Although I didn't know much about Richard,after entering the study several times and looking at some documents on the desk,I knew the address of his company.
Now,the letter from the director was being sent to Richard's company.
I was surprised.Was Oliver Reed working in Richard's company?Anyway,the director wouldn't lie.
Richard's company was located in the most prosperous CBD business district of New York City.After being entangled with him for a year,this was the first time I came here.
We waited at the door for a long time.Everyone had left,but we still didn't find Oliver Reed.Later,we asked the security guard,and the answer was the same.Such an ugly man had never appeared in this building!
This was strange.
Why did the director send the letter here?
We had to send some gifts in the name of the director.Finally,we waited for the person who came to pick up the express delivery.But it turned out to be a woman,who seemed to be Richard's assistant.Was she picking up the express delivery for Richard?
That is to say,Richard was Oliver Reed?
We were amazed at this discovery.
But they looked so different.How could they be the same person?Maybe they were good friends?
Now the only way was to follow Richard and see what the relationship between them was.
Richard's life was extremely regular.He went to work and came home on time every day.Until the third day of following him,Richard entered the underground garage and walked into a cold storage.
This cold storage was renovated.It was originally just a storage room.It was located in the northwest corner of the garage and was extremely hidden.At first glance,it was just a wall.After he went in,a slightly chubby man with long hair also followed him in.
About an hour later,they came out of the cold storage,and we quickly surrounded them.
"Wait,don't move yet."
Just as I was about to randomly enter a password,Jack stopped me.
"There are a lot of vehicles coming and going here.There must be dust on the combination lock.Turn on the flashlight and take a look."
Jack looked at it carefully from various directions.Sure enough,there were fingerprints on it.Jack opened the door of the cold storage almost without any effort.
With a click,we walked into an ice storage that was like an underground palace.
I was stunned by the scene in front of me.Especially when I saw a row of photos hanging on the wall,I felt a chill run down my back.Richard's secret was finally revealed.
