Chapter 108 Anna's Memory

"Participate in what?" Dora denied in a hurry and argued back, "My daughter got injured when she was with your son. You are trying to blame me so that I don't blame him. You…"

"Shut up!" Joseph interrupted Dora, "Even if you don't know what your daughter did this time, you know everything she has done in the past. She killed Alan and framed Kate; then, she led to Kate's miscarriage. She needs to pay for what she has done!"

See how angry Joseph was, Dora began to tremble, "Anna has been punished. We were kicked out of our home. Kate was determined to use it as an excuse to banish us!"

"White Group was founded by Flora. Though Leo contributed to it, without Flora's father's money, he would not have had a career? You have been with him for over twenty years now; you know how capable he is! Without Flora's support, the company would have fallen into bankruptcy. And, if it weren't for Joseph's help now, it would be closed down!" Cassie reminded everyone. She was proud to mention Flora's accomplishments.

Dora could not refute back. She shifted her focus to her daughter on bed and said, "My daughter is laying her unconscious. If I find out someone caused this injury, I will not let him get away with it!"

"Like mother, like daughter!" Cassie did not want to argue further, so she turned to Kate, "You must be curious as to why I brought you here."

Joseph quickly looked over at Kate; she nodded her head at Cassie.

"Joseph, I know you, and if you don't want to explain, I can do it for you," Cassie said.

Joseph did not know that his mother was going to bring Kate to the hospital. He was confused about what she was going to explain.

"Kate," Cassie held Kate's hands and said, smiled, "Noelle told me that Joseph asked her to take you out to the garden. As long as she can make you happy, she can propose any idea to him."

Noelle betrayed me! Joseph immediately thought.

Joseph felt embarrassed, and he was too shy to look at Kate. He interrupted his mother, "This is the hospital. Don't tell her here."

"Yes, this is a hospital, not your home. Please leave Anna's room if you care to talk," Dora seized the chance to stop their conversation.

Cassie stood up, marched over to Dora, and said proudly, "I am here to let you know who my son actually loves!"

"Of course, my daughter!" Dora shouted.

"Painful…" Anna woke up suddenly.

Dora bent down to stroke her daughter's face in a hurry and said, "Anna, thank goodness you are awake!"

Anna looked around and asked, "Who are you? Where am I?"

"Anna, what…what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. I'm your mother. Don't

Joseph pressed the button for the nurse, and the doctor rushed in to examine Anna.

"The patient's head was seriously injured. She will need to be hospitalized for some time, so monitor any congestion in the brain…"

"Does my daughter have amnesia?" Dora was shocked and whispered, "She just recovered from amnesia. Why is it happening again?"

Dora was not sure if Anna really lost her memory or was just acting to escape punishment, and she didn't have an opportunity to question her. Regardless, if it worked, Dora would play along.

"It was you! You must have done something to excite her, and so she relapsed!"

Joseph was also surprised by Anna's memory loss. He spoke to the doctor and mentioned her head injury numerous times. The doctor repeated his diagnosis, "If she suffered a head injury and amnesia in the past, it could happen again. As I said, she must stay in the hospital to be observed for a few days before we can have a definite conclusion."

Cassie knew how good Dora and Anna were at scheming, so she warned, "Don't think that you can escape punishment just because you are pretending to suffer from amnesia."

Anna was still looking at everyone. She was confused, and when she heard Cassie's warning, she grasped the sheet tightly and cried, "Who are you? Go away! I am scared!"

"Don't you hear my daughter? She is petrified of you! Get out!" Dora roared.

"Dora, you are the one who is ruining your daughter's life!" Cassie shouted back.

"Cassie Smith, your son, does not want to shoulder responsibility for what he has done. He invited her to live with him but still does not want to marry her. What the hell does he want to do?"

"Do you want to know?" Joseph looked at Anna and sneered, "She thought she was clever enough to trick me, but it didn't work. She did not know that her actions had been betraying her from the beginning. Anna was selfish, and when I assured her it would be okay, she told me everything. Do you want to hear her confession?"

Joseph took out the recorder and played everything, including their conversation in the hotel room. As the recording played, Joseph looked at Kate from time to time. He worried about if she would still be angry with him.

Everyone in the room was startled when they heard the recording. Dora could not believe that Anna was so stupid.

Kate was confused as to why Joseph would set a trap for Anna. It was her who released the news, so Joseph did not love her anymore.
