Chapter 378 - Know That I Love You (1/2)

”Hey, girl, wake up.”

”Hey, are you alright?”

The sound of men's voices echoed bringing awareness back to Elizabeth. She did not expect that she would doze off and leave herself so open. As she opened her eyes, the image of the old man and some of the crew worriedly looking at her confused her. Did something happen again while she was asleep?

”Grandpa, what's wrong?” Elizabeth directly asked.

”Nothings wrong child, but you, you keep mumbling to yourself as if you were having a nightmare so we woke you up. We were worried that you might end up crying or anxious once you wake up from what you were dreaming of.” The old man explained as he gave her a glass of water.

She grabs the glass of water and drunk it before responding, ”I was?”

”What were you dreaming of anyways child that you even shed such huge tears?”

Elizabeth was dumbfounded and surprised that her body reacted without her knowledge. She checked her face and felt a slight wetness in her cheeks. Proving what the old man stated. ”Grandpa, I don't know. I couldn't recall what I was dreaming of.”

”Well, whatever it may be, I hope you don't dream of it again. You look so much in pain just a moment ago.”

She nodded her head agreeing to what the old man hoped for. Once they secured that the girl was fine, they all left her bed and allowed her to get some more rest.

Elizabeth was left all on her own and was pondering on what she was dreaming of that could cause her to cry. All she recalled was the time with Professor Petrovich and the familiar place she would normally visit.

As she was about to head to sleep, one of the crew members came knocking on the door.

”Is something wrong?” Elizabeth asked.

”Child, I'm sorry to bother you but do you know anyone with the name Knightley?”

Elizabeth's eyes shook in shock from what she just heard. She didn't know if whether she should deny her relationship with her father or not. Seeing the man was holding onto a phone could only mean her father was on the other line waiting for her to answer the call.

”If you don't know him you don't need to worry. It's just I found this phone and it was ringing, when I answer it a man's voice was asking for his daughter. I mean, child, I know your running away from your family, but could you be the daughter whom this man is looking for?”

How Elizabeth wish she could deny it but she saw how worried the man was for her. Her father must have said something to the man as to why he seems to be showing such great pity towards his father.

”Child, us father can make mistake, but you need to realize that what we do is for your own good. We won't let you go through so much if we don't see that you'll be in a good hand. I'm sure your father is worried about you. At least talk to him.”

Elizabeth gave in and nodded. She grab the phone from the man as he left leaving her alone to herself once again to answer the call.

”I'm not coming back!”

Lord Knightley who was on the other end of the line did not respond. Instead, he listened to his daughter's sweet voice whom he has missed for almost a month. He hasn't seen her daughter face as well…

”Dad, I'm sorry…But I won't let you cage me like I'm a bird. I know now, I know, you did something to me in order for me not to remember my past. But why, why did you have to keep it for so long? When do you plan on telling me that you've been locking my memories for the past 5 years?”
