Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Join Me
"What do you want to do?" Edie frowned and asked in a cold voice.
Julia stepped towards her and pinched her jaw tightly. It seemed that she was in a good mood, "You would know soon. You would be satisfied. I promise."
At the moment, Edie heard the disfigured woman’s voice, "Mrs. Yates, time for dinner."
"Oh. So you’ve seen each other. I don’t have to introduce you to each other again. You know who she is, right? You look so calm. I really underestimated you before."
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
Hearing Julia’s words, Edie turned towards the disfigured woman nervously. She saw that woman looked away immediately as if she was so afraid of what Julia was going to say out in the following.
Julia froze for a while. Then she realized what happened. She burst into laughter and said, "Oh, so you haven’t introduced each other. All right then, I can tell you now. I can tell you who that ugly woman is."
"Who is she?" Edie asked Julia immediately.
"She is Marina, the woman Stuart has spent lots of years missing, waiting and searching."
Marina... ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
This name, like a thunder, immediately hit on Edie’s brain. She felt so dizzy.
Edie took a close look at the disfigured woman in front of her. Though her face has already been destroyed, her eyes still looked so beautiful, like pure water in the mountain.
"How....why?"
"You should ask her. Ask her whether she is Marina." Julia raised a bloody smile at the corner of her mouth.
Edie started trembling. She tumbled towards Marina. She felt every step was so heavy for her as if her feet were carrying tons of things.
Finally, she walked to the entrance of the stairs and looked up, fixing her eyes on the woman standing on the stairs. Then she opened her pale mouth, "Are....are you Marina, the girl that’s lost that year?"
Hearing Edie’s question, the disfigured woman lowered her eyes and said in a clear voice.
"Yes. I am Marina Daisy."
These five words, like a sharp knife, cut all Edie’s illusion and fantasy.
All of a sudden, Edie felt so hard to take a breath.
However, she heard Marina continuing talking.
"I am Marina. But I don’t know Stuart Yates. Julia kept telling me I have something to do with him. But I don’t remember. This man never shows in my life."
Marina tried the best to calm herself down and say these words out.
Her heart was burning.
She didn’t know Stuart...
Marina knew nothing about Stuart Yates now.
Hearing these words, Edie was shocked. She looked towards this woman. She got confused.
Hearing these words, Julia also frowned. She didn’t expect that Marina still insisted on this at this point.
Such a tough woman.
She really needed to be punished hard.
Julia was so angry that she took out the whip immediately and started whipping her hard.
Edie was standing beside Marina. So as the whip was waved towards Marina, it also hit on Edie’s body.
But apparently, Marina was more painful.
She didn’t stand on the stairs steadily. Suddenly, she rolled down from the stairs.
Edie was shocked. She immediately walked to her to help her, regardless of the wound on her.
Luckily, she grabbed Marina’s body in time.
Seeing this, Julia couldn’t help herself bursting into laughter, "Wow, both girlfriends of Stuart. One is to help the other. I am deeply touched. What do you think Stuart would feel when seeing this? I am really curious. Which one would he choose!"
These words sounded much more frightening than Julia’s whipping. When hearing these words, both trembled.
Edie turned towards Marina, seeing Marina looking at her.
Edie showed a bitter smile and said, "let me help you."
This time, Julia didn’t stop her.
Edie helped Marina go back to her room. Her room looked so simple and crude. No one could imagine there was such a simple room inside such a luxurious house.
There was a bed, a desk, and a chair inside the room. Nothing more.
No mirror, no makeup. So single.
"Do you live here?"
"Yes."
"Those wounds. It was Julia that caused these wounds, right?" seeing the wounds on her body, Edie finally knew what caused those scary wounds on Marina’s face.
Julia’s whip caused them.
Edie knew Julia must whip on her face for so many times. Otherwise, there would be such deep wounds.
"Where’s the medicine?" Edie asked her.
Despite their relations, both of them were suffering from Julia’s torturing.
Edie wanted to take care of her.
Marina shook her head slightly. She told Edie she could do it herself because she was a doctor.
She took the medical kit under the bed out. There were lots of medicine inside the kit placed in order. The kit looked so familiar to Edie. Because she had the same medical kit in the flat in England, that medicine was also placed in order, like this one. Edie finally knew the woman that did this.
Edie forced herself to press the sorrow insides her. It was not the right time to be jealous. She needed to focus on escaping from this place.
Edie was not a doctor. She helped to boil water. Marina helped Edie treat the wounds on her body. She did this so carefully.
"If treated properly, there would not be any scars left. I would regulate your diet accordingly. Don’t worry."
"Thank you."
Marina nodded. And then she started handling the wounds on her face.
But she just applied for some medicine on her wound. She didn’t even paste a gauze, as if she didn’t care about the scars at all.
"Why...why don’t you paste a gauze. That would help."
"My face has been covered with scars now. I don’t care now."
Marina answered in an indifferent voice. Edie couldn’t see any pain on her face. Marina didn’t even scream out when she was treating the wound with alcohol, as if she could not feel the pain anymore."
When she finally finished, she said, "The dinner is ready. Go back to your room to have some food. It would get cold soon in winter."
"Have you had anything?"
Marina shook her head slightly.
"Join me." Edie invited her.
Marina froze lightly. She raised her eyes, looking at her in shock. Then she said, "Mrs. Yates, I think you might misunderstand. Indeed, I am Marina. But I don’t know Stuart. Do you really believe what Julia’s said? It is her means. If you really believe her, you would be fooled,"
"It is you that made all those food for me. Of course, I should ask you to join me. No matter whether you are that Marina or not, I want to show my appreciation to you. Come on, join me."
"All right, then...."
Marina finally accepted.
No one talked while eating. The atmosphere was so weird.
Edie didn’t know whether she should ask Marina. She hesitated for quite a long time. Finally, she didn’t say a word.
After the dinner, Marina washed the dishes, leaving no chance for Edie to help.
"You are the guest of Julia. I am nothing more than a maid. It is my responsibility."
Then, Marina turned around and left.
