In the mansion I lived in, the children were sitting in the lobby uncomfortably. I brought them into the mansion because it seemed like we would have a long talk. I let the staff make some Darjeeling tea for us and they left after making it. 209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj48JKodgGp
"So how did you know my real name?" I asked after I drank a bit of the tea. 209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGqHQ9cmEY
"Well...if you don't remember us then I guess we have to explain to you from the beginning." The boy who looked younger than me said.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvh9dBDHQA
"Let's introduce ourselves first. I am Don. She is Gilda. The boy with black hair which covers his one eye is Ray. And the last one is Norman. We are all from the same orphanage called Grace Field House, including you. "209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheBPHRjbbN
"We have lived like a family in the orphanage since we got abandoned. However, you were missing because of the blizzard that happened in the winter two years ago. We kept looking for you for these two years but we couldn't find any clue about you."209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU2eeD9mxk
"We thought that you died in the blizzard but we hoped that you were alive so we never gave up on you! We are so glad to find out you are alive and well! Knowing that you are still alive makes our long journey worthwhile" Don said with a teary face.
"It seems like we were all pretty close. And you had a hard time searching for me. But I am happy to know that someone is willing to spend that much time searching for me. I thought I had no one to depend on when I first realized I had amnesia. So thank you."
I smiled from the bottom of my heart. I hadn't had these feelings for a long time, not since I became Helia Woodhouse. 209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRQ7ECFjJE
Wait, then why do I feel something isn’t right? "Why were we all apart if we were living in Grace Field House? There should have been a housekeeper taking care of me to make sure I stayed inside the orphanage when the snowstorm came.”
“Well...that is...You probably got lost when you tried to explore the forest near the orphanage. We should have stopped you before you went out. I guess the snowstorm had blown you somewhere and you got hit by something so you lost your memories" Ray said with a determined look.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75wYWUa0tl
"Of course that is just a guess based on what we knew about it from that night 2 years ago when you disappeared, and from what we heard from your experience." Norman smiled and explained it to me carefully.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmdqPynUuz
It seemed like they were covering up something which might be important for me. But I felt I should not call them out, fortunately, I was good at acting because of the experience of living as someone else. "Oh really, how careless I was to get lost in a forest!" I pretended to trust their theory. 209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBmgkCcrGg
"By the way, the staff called you a different name. Why is that?"Gilda asked.209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqYygJnwam
"I was adopted by the Woodhouse family. So I am no longer Emma anymore, and I am not the past Emma you have known. I am Helia Woodhouse, the only daughter of the head of the family Woodhouse, and I will be the next head as well. Nice to meet you all." I said, out of courtesy.
I sent them off and then I went back to my room and laid on my bed. What were they trying to hide me from? If we were as close as family and lived together for the last thirteen years, why did they have to hide something from me? 209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAOrowr7hO
“Well, they will tell me why eventually,” I thought. Overthinking doesn't help. I gave up thinking about it and then I fell asleep.
At the same time, Norman and others were walking through the street. "It seems like Emma did forget us." Gilda said. 209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkg96AejS6
"Yeah, I can tell that she is not acting or anything. So we can't tell her about that now. Right, Norman?" Don asked. "At least not now. We shouldn't act blindly without thinking until the right time comes."
