True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 291 They Are Very Alike

Leonard was out on the balcony, taking a long drag of his cigarette. "Yeah, I think so too. Maybe my mom looked a lot like Cordelia before her face got messed up."

Sebastian's voice was deep and serious. "Their handwriting's the same too. So, one of them must've been copying the other for some reason, to the point where even my dad couldn't tell them apart. That's probably why he doesn't remember Elise. From start to finish, Elise must've been pretending to be Cordelia, so no one noticed. It wasn't until Elise got pregnant that Cordelia felt threatened and decided to get rid of her."

Leonard nodded, but his brows were furrowed. His voice was low. "So, I'm still a illegitimate child, and my mom's the other woman, right?"

Sebastian, hearing the distress in his voice, tried to comfort him. "To find out the truth, we should dig into Elise's background. Based on our theory, her face must've looked a lot like Cordelia's back then. Starting from there, we might find some clues."

Leonard slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his voice tinged with sadness. "My mom wants to try desensitization therapy, but the doctor said it could go two ways: either she gets her memory back, or she has a mental breakdown and becomes a complete nutcase."

Sebastian's fingers curled up at the thought. He'd seen Elise have an episode once when she was hurt. Just during an episode, she'd tortured Leonard a lot. If she really lost it, Leonard would suffer even more.

Sebastian's heart tightened. "Unless it's absolutely necessary, don't go that route. We'll find another way. Elise has been through enough."

Leonard sighed. "But she's always worried about you and Joyce. She wants to find the person behind Cordelia. Sometimes I feel like she cares more about you two than she does about me."

Sebastian chuckled. "That's the charm of me and my wife. You can't help but be convinced."

Leonard smiled. "Seeing Joyce so happy now, I'm happy for her. I hope the Winters Family's issues don't mess up your relationship. I don't want to see her hurt again."
