Listening to Victor's complaints, Alessia unscrewed the bottle and smelled the liquid inside.
She noticed that when she took the bottle, Enzo's gaze fell on her, looking particularly nervous.
She looked at him.
Enzo stared into her eyes, urging, "Sia, after drinking it, you'll regain your memory."
Alessia had an intuition that Enzo wasn't lying. She looked back at Victor.
The old naughty boy had already sat down on the sofa, leisurely crossing his legs, not even giving her a glance.
With her strong clinical experience in medicine, Alessia knew that the liquid was not poisonous.
Lost memories were lost, but when it came to Elle's prenatal toxicity, no matter what reaction she would have after drinking it, she had to give it a try.
Alessia closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the entire bottle of liquid.
After drinking it, she felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her. Then she leaned on the sofa in a daze, listening to Enzo and Victor talking.
"Old man, what's wrong with Sia?"
"You little brat, when you impatiently called me back, didn't you think about the consequences? After drinking it, of course, she'll have to sleep for a while."
Enzo was obviously irritated, he took a deep breath. "How long will she sleep?"
"Just for one night."
"After she wakes up, will her memory be restored?"
"Yes, indeed."
Next, Alessia felt herself being lifted and placed on a big bed.
Before leaving, Enzo covered her with a blanket and whispered in her ear.
"Sia, sleep well. When you wake up, you'll remember everything. I'll be waiting for you to come find me and give me your answer."
Enzo's tone made Alessia feel uncomfortable.
She wanted to ask, what are you going to do, what answer do you want?
But her eyelids were too heavy, and she couldn't force them open.
She could only hear Enzo's footsteps fading away.
Meanwhile, a night had passed, and Dominic had stayed up all night.
It had been twenty-four hours since Alessia went missing. He was about to call the police and officially file a report.
But his phone rang first.
It was an unknown number.
"Hello, this is Enzo Roberts. I know you're looking for Alessia, and I know where she is. If you want to find her, come to the mountain slope. I'll be waiting for you."
After Enzo finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Dominic, upon hearing news about Alessia, regardless of its authenticity, grabbed his car keys and left the house.
...
"No!"
Alessia woke up from her dream as if she had a terrible nightmare, sitting up abruptly.
"What's wrong? You little girl, why so jumpy? After not seeing each other for a few years, your personality has completely changed. Although you've become a bit more lively, your grandfather is getting old and finds it difficult to adapt for a while."
Victor sat on the edge of the bed, still crossing his legs, biting a large apple.
He looked like an old naughty boy.
Alessia rubbed her head and, with a concerned expression, asked, "Grandpa, are you okay now? Is everything with X Organization resolved?"
Victor paused in his apple biting and then grinned triumphantly.
"It looks like my newly developed medicine worked. You have finally regained your memory. Of course, I am fine. X Organization was completely wiped out by the foreign military. Your grandpa is awesome, right?"
Victor spoke lightly, but Alessia knew what he had been through in recent years.
X Organization was an organization that developed banned drugs and trafficked organs. When he was young, Grandpa accidentally joined the organization.
Later, when he learned the organization's secrets, he escaped. But the organization discovered his medical talent and refused to let him go.
He dodged and turned to Toronto, where he adopted Riley and herself.
Later, when Riley went out to seek development, Grandpa and she were found by the organization. Since then, she and her grandfather had stayed with the organization for a long time.
Until one accident, she and her grandfather escaped from the organization together with a secret medicine.
That secret medicine had the effect of enhancing genes, but it also had side effects. At that time, to protect the secret medicine from being taken by the organization, she swallowed it herself.
The result was amnesia.
Thinking of this, Alessia got up and gave Victor a big hug.
"Grandpa, you've suffered."
At that time, when they arrived in Toronto, her grandfather hid her in the Carter family and left. She knew her grandfather had returned to the organization for her, to search for the medicine that could restrain the side effects and restore her memory.
Those people who chased her were undoubtedly sent by the organization.
"Don't be so sentimental. I heard you have three children now. You never used to be like this, so shy. Since becoming a wife, you've changed." Victor's tone changed, dispelling the emotional atmosphere.
Alessia's mood improved with his words.
After regaining her memory, she was very clear about Elle's prenatal toxicity, which must have been influenced by the secret medicine in her body.
She asked, "Grandpa, do you still have the liquid you gave me last night?"
"Of course." Victor finished his apple and accurately threw the core into the trash.
He said impatiently, "I know you're asking for my great-granddaughter. Her prenatal toxicity is on me. Don't worry about it."
Alessia laughed and liked Victor's tone of speech.
Because she had heard it since she was a child, it felt familiar.
But Victor felt uncomfortable with Alessia's sudden affectionate gaze and urged her to leave. "Go, go, go. I heard that little wolf you rescued fought with your ex-husband outside. If you don't go and see now, there might be a big problem."
Alessia frowned, "Are you talking about Enzo and Dominic?"
She remembered.
Enzo was rescued by her in the underground boxing arena while she was still with the X Organization.
At that time, Enzo had just been sold, and he was stubborn and had been beaten a lot.
Later, she let him follow her, and everything about Enzo was taught by her.
Before leaving the organization, she promised to take him away from the organization.
But apparently, she broke her promise.
That's why Enzo used the alias 'Z' to send her emails, each one seeming full of resentment.
After confirming her amnesia, he disappeared again. Perhaps he was secretly digesting the fact of her amnesia.
He was still so insincere, her cute little brother!
Thinking of this, Alessia heard the sound of a car braking outside.
She looked out of the room.
Victor seemed to understand her thoughts and said with a weird tone, "What can you see inside the room? Go outside if you want to see. Let's see who's going to die."
