Chapter 386 - Asleep Of Playing Dead (1/2)
Elizabeth woke up after hearing a strange sound. It wasn't long when she shut her eyes and almost has fallen asleep.
”What was that?” She muttered to herself.
As she grabs her coat, she hurried down the stairs as quietly as she could as she went ahead and check what just happened. Surprisingly, she saw nothing and everything seems to be in order.
”What do you think you're doing?”
Elizabeth was startled hearing the familiar voice from behind her. It was the same cold and hostile voice who greeted her when she first arrived.
”I'm sorry, I thought I heard something and I came down to check on it…”
”You must have eaten too much that you're dreaming. Go back upstairs and don't you dare come down without Big Sis.”
”Where is she?” Elizabeth inquired seeing she has not seen Megan at all yet here was Jo scolding her.
”She had something to do. Just go back to sleep… Once Big Sis is back you're free to leave.” Jo kept speaking in the same hostile and upset tone. It was thanks to her that Stef is no dead, yet, what can he do when Megan has ordered him not to do anything.
”Sorry.” Elizabeth apologized with an expression of a dog who's been scrolled by its master.
Jo was taken aback when he saw such cute expression being expressed towards him. He now realized too that the girl's memory has indeed been altered. For the woman standing in front of him would never express such expression back then. She was arrogant, mean and cruel who showed no mercy to anyone including those within her family.
”She really is someone else.” Jo sighs helplessly feeling somehow sorry for Elizabeth that she has no memory of who she was. ”I wonder why they removed her memory.”
As he went on his way, the question on why her memory was alter continued to muddle in Jo's mind. It such a mystery that everyone been so curious to find out yet after year no one knows the answers.
”I just hope Big Sis's plans works.”
Elizabeth was on her way back to her room when she recalled the familiar sound she heard once again. Her mind continues to playback the sound until it made the conclusion that it was the sound of a gun.
”Something does not feel right?”
She became worried about her situation. She was sure that the sound she heard was the sound of a gun being fired. However, she did not hear any screams nor did she notice any blood around when she went down. It could only mean it happened in one of the private rooms.
”I better find my way out of here before I'm next.”
As she entered the room, she locked the door and went to the window to check its distance to the ground. It was not too high but there is a possibility she might sprain her leg due to the fall. This can affect her movement as she runs away…
”Princess style then…”
She hastily removed the blanket and bed sheet as she tied them together making a rope. She also removed the curtains and anything in the room she can possibly use. As she was about to tie the last remaining sheet someone came knocking at the door.
”Girl, are you still awake?”
Elizabeth was startled to hear Jo's voice again. It hasn't been a few minutes when they both took their separate ways. She became agitated as to what Jo wants with her.
”Girl, are you asleep or playing dead?”
It dumbfounds Elizabeth to why Jo was suddenly speaking to her in such a sarcastic manner.
