Chapter 1127: Janelle Tollman Arc, Stealing a Child?
Arthur Sutton accessed the hotel’s surveillance footage, only to see the girl hurriedly leaving his room with her head down. Even until she exited the hotel, there was no capture of her face.Strangely, there was no footage of her entering the hotel at all.
The room was registered only under his name, with no information about the girl.
In the end, Arthur Sutton left the hotel with only the surveillance video of the girl’s hasty departure.
"President Sutton... this is very strange. Could it be some kind of setup?" On the car ride, his assistant couldn’t help but mention it.
Arthur had a similar suspicion in his heart. He paused for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "What would be her motive for doing this?"
The assistant thought for a moment: "...Stealing a child? Then, after the child is born, blackmail you. Ultimately, it’s definitely for money."
Arthur couldn’t find a reason to refute, but he inexplicably felt that the girl was not the type of person the assistant described.
Recalling the surveillance footage, the girl’s obviously panicked footsteps when she left made him feel that if it were her scheme, she wouldn’t have left in such a manner.
Two years later.
Hospital.
The girl had been in a vegetative state due to a car accident and had been lying in the hospital for two years. Today, she suddenly awoke, and the news had spread amongst the patients and staff in the hospital ward.
Janelle Tollman stared blankly at her surroundings and then looked at the doctor in a white coat checking her body by the bedside.
She asked the doctor, "Where am I? Who are you?"
The doctor paused, then looked at Mrs. Tollman standing nearby.
"Janelle... I am your mom, do you remember me?"
The confusion in Janelle’s eyes gave Mrs. Tollman the unwanted answer.
Over time, the doctor provided Janelle with psychological therapy, and Janelle slowly began to accept the memories of the world that controlled her.
Her name was Janelle Tollman. Two years ago, she had a car accident. During her coma, she gave birth to a pair of twins who are now over a year old...
After being discharged, Janelle returned home with Mrs. Tollman.
Upon seeing two little chubby babies crawling all over the carpet at home, her steps halted at the door.
Are these really her children?
"Big precious, little precious, your mommy is back!"
As if understanding their grandma’s words, the children babbled as they crawled towards the door.
Janelle, who had lost all her memories, felt as if she lost everything from her past, with only this "home" left in her understanding.
Seeing her daughter crawling by her feet, she lovingly picked her up from the ground: "...What is her name?"
Mrs. Tollman picked up the little boy, smiling as she spoke to Janelle: "The brother is named Dominic, and the sister is named Promise, both follow your surname."
Feeling her daughter’s chubby hands touching her face, Janelle couldn’t help but smile. The children’s adorable appearance instantly healed her anxiety from her hospital treatment.
"...Mom, you’ve worked hard."
Hearing Janelle call her "Mom" for the first time after waking up, Mrs. Tollman couldn’t help but tear up, her eyes filled with a happy smile: "Your dad in heaven must be blessing you all, he surely sees this too."
Over the two years of treatment, almost all of the family’s savings had been spent on Janelle and the two children.
The family home had even been sold, and the few of them were now living in a small rental house.
Before Janelle returned, they relied entirely on the neighbors’ help to look after the two children so that Mrs. Tollman could take care of Janelle in the hospital.
Understanding the situation at home, after resting for less than a week, Janelle went out looking for a job.
