Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

“No. I really didn’t know, so Casey, please don’t ask...”
Abby’s expression seemed somewhat difficult to express; it seemed that she was truly being threatened.
“Nana, I beg you. Just tell me. I really want to know. I won’t betray you. Just tell me what happened back. then. Why don’t I
remember anything?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, Casey. It’s something that can’t be said. Actually, it’s a good thing that you don’t know
anything. Isn’t it better this way? You’re still the high and mighty young lady.”
Casey was on the verge of tears as tears welled up in her eyes. “It’s not like that. Those lost memories are important to me.
Trouble has already found its way to me. I must find out the truth.”
“What trouble? Remembering those things is the biggest pain. There’s no need to remember at all.”
From the tone of her voice, it seemed that Abby knew everything but didn’t want to say.
“Why do you say that? Nana, do I have to kneel for you to tell me? I’ll kneel for you then.”
As Casey spoke, she looked around. It was pitch black, and there were hardly any people here. No one would see.
Abby was at a loss for what to do when she saw this and quickly helped her up. “Casey, don’t do this. It’s difficult for me if you do
this. All right. All right. I’ll tell you.”
“What exactly happened? Please tell me quickly.”
Abby took a deep breath and said, “You did lose some memory, but that memory is an unbearable burden for you. If you don’t
remember, you can still live a happy life in the second half of your life. If you remember, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it.”
Casey’s heart trembled and she couldn’t help but feel afraid. What exactly happened?
After hesitating for a long time, Abby finally decided to speak up. “I don’t know exactly what happened either. I heard it from
Madam.”
“Madam? Eleanor Collins?”

Abby nodded. “Yes. One day, she suddenly told me that you were pregnant and told me not to make a fuss. She wanted to take
you to have an abortion. If this matter were to be known, it wouldn’t be good for your reputation, so I’ve been helping to keep it a
secret.”
“When did this happen?”
“Madam told me that you were already one month pregnant at that time, so I calculated that the night you. went to the party after
graduating from college should be the night you got pregnant. You came back very late that night, and you had never stayed out
all night before, so...”
Casey suddenly realized. “So, I must have had a relationship with someone that night and then got pregnant?”
“Yes...
“And then?” Eleanor said she was going to take Casey for an abortion, but obviously, the child wasn’t aborted. Otherwise, how
could Dulcie have been born?
Abby recalled the situation at that time and said, “After that, Madam took you to have an abortion and then concealed it from Mr.
Carter by saying she was taking you on a trip to improve the mother-daughter relationship. Mr. Carter didn’t know anything, and
later, you disappeared for a long time, about eight. months. When you came back, you said you had a great time traveling and
didn’t mention anything else. I didn’t bring it up either. I thought you didn’t want to talk about it.”
Eight months....
It was enough time for her to give birth to Dulcie, but didn’t Eleanor take her for an abortion? Why did Eleanor give her eight
months to have the child?
Why did Eleanor abandon the child after Casey gave birth to the child?
What exactly happened in between?
Casey’s mind was in chaos, and she felt a wave of terror coming over her. It seemed that a lot had happened back then,
“Casey, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Nana. Thank you. You should go back now. You still have to take care of your grandson. I have something to do, so I’ll
leave first.” Casey turned around and left.

She took a cab back to the Carter Residence.
As soon as she entered the house, she heard Eleanor’s crazed and furious cursing coming from inside. Obviously, her father
was not at home.
Casey walked over and pulled the heavily drunk Eleanor from the living room toward the room upstairs.
“What are you doing? Let go of me! Let go of me!” Eleanor struggled, but she was too drunk to have any strength and couldn’t
break free.
She pulled Eleanor back into the room and locked the door.
Then, she dragged Eleanor into the bathroom and sprayed cold water from the shower directly on Eleanor’s head, which
sobered her up a bit.
“Ah!! Are you crazy? Casey, what are you doing!” Eleanor turned off the shower and looked at the imposing. Casey in front of
her.
Casey, who was full of anger, pressed Eleanor against the wall and said angrily. “What did you do to me back then? Why did you
brainwash me about my pregnancy? Why did you abandon the child I gave birth to? How many terrible things have you done?”
Eleanor’s face turned pale when she heard this. How did Casey know?
She had erased those memories, so how did Casey know?
“Say something! Do you think everything will be fine if you don’t speak? Do you think I can’t remember anything just because you
erased those memories? Let me tell you, I remember everything!”
Casey didn’t remember anything except what she saw during hypnosis. She couldn’t recall anything else.
Eleanor stared at her in horror. “You really remember everything? It’s impossible. You’re lying to me. How could you remember?
Tell me then. What do you remember?”
“I remember getting pregnant, and you took me to have an abortion! Who gave you the right to take me for an abortion? Who
gave you the right to abandon the child I gave birth to. Eleanor?”

Casey wished she could strangle this woman. If it weren’t for Eleanor, her mother wouldn’t have committed suicide, and she
wouldn’t have failed to recognize her own daughter when they met.
Eleanor looked shocked. “It’s impossible... Who told you? How do you know all this? It’s impossible...”
“What’s impossible? I even know who the father of the child is! I found him!”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor burst into laughter while saying, “There’s no way you can find out who the father of the child is! I just
randomly picked a man for that. How could you possibly track him down? Besides, he’s abroad and not in the country. Where
would you even begin to search?”
Casey widened her eyes in astonishment and tightly grabbed Eleanor’s collar while exclaiming, “So, you’re saying I got pregnant
because you sent me to sleep with that man!”
Perhaps due to being intoxicated, Eleanor laughed maniacally and said, “So what if I did? My original intention was to ruin you,
but I didn’t expect that the man you slept with would be quite capable. Of course, I couldn’t let you give birth to the child.
Otherwise, wouldn’t you have a stronger support? You would have driven me out of the Carter Family!”
