She can't remember the past; what possible motive could she have?
Valentine Teller was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Mark Reed was way too suspicious.
Turstin Muller was better; he believed everything she said.
Valentine cleared her throat and said, "I had an accident and lost my memory of the past. If you must think I approached you all with some ulterior motive, then I have nothing more to say."
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
It would be too much to say anything more.
From now on, never call Mark Reed again.
Even if his phone number is deeply ingrained in her mind.
Valentine lay in bed, forcing herself to sleep. She dozed off, but dreamed about many strange things.
The dreams were all about Mark Reed.
In the dream, he completely took Turstin Muller's place, and she lived with him like husband and wife.
There was also a very cute little girl living with them.
She couldn't remember the girl's name.
