“What now? I’m going to bed!” An exasperated response came from Elizabeth, barely muffled by the door.
“Be might have remembered something!” Kristian hissed with clenched teeth.
“Hey, hold up a second!” Elizabeth’s voice sounded a bit flustered.
She hastily grabbed a coat, threw it on, then swung open the door and stepped out.
Dragging Kristian to the far end of the corridor, she scanned for any eavesdroppers before turning to him, her brow furrowed.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t my mom supposed to have amnesia from the crash? Howe she’s recalling stuff now?”
Kristian’s face showed impatience.
“She mentioned recalling a memory.
From what she described, it matched events before the ident.
If she’s remembering now, who knows what else mighte back tomorrow?”
The gravity of the situation hit Elizabeth.
She paced in front of Kristian, her gaze icy.
It took her a while to speak.
“We can’t let her remember any of that!” Her tone was firm.
If Be’s true identity got out, she’d bolt straight back to her daughter.
And their whole world-their reputation, their careers, their fortune they’d built around Be would crumble.
They’d bebeled kidnappers and vilified by everyone.
It’d be a disaster they couldn’t afford.
Elizabeth wouldn’t stand for it.
Kristian knew it too.
He hesitated.
“So, uh, what’s the n now?”
Elizabeth’s eyes turned steely.
“We must drug her.
”
“Drug her?” Kristian Looked puzzled.
Elizabeth affirmed with a firm nod.
“Be needs to forget everything before, or we’re in deep trouble.
And Ste? She’s a real threat.
We have to find a way to get rid of her, then we’re in the clear!”
Kristian mulled it over and quickly agreed.
“You’re spot on.
I’ll ring up the family doctor right away.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.

Turning to leave, Elizabeth stopped him in his tracks.
“But Listen, it has to be wless.
There has to be no slip-ups, got it.
”
Kristian nodded solemnly.
The next day, at Prosper Bay, Ste woke to find Matthew already dressed.
