100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 337 Get It Off Your Chest

Day Forty…

~~*****~~

Cherry was quite shaken by this shocking discovery. Her mind was in shambles. She felt like her brain cells got numb. She just stared at the computer screen blankly for several seconds.

[ Phantomflake got pregnant. ]

[ Phantomflake got pregnant. ]

Those words kept replaying in her mind at this moment. She didn't know what to feel. When her brain recovered from the great shock, she was bombarded with so many questions.

'What happened to her?'

'How did she get pregnant?'

'Where is the child?'

'Who is the father?'

'Is Stephen the father of her child?'

Cherry absentmindedly closed all the applications and the running programs. Then she switched off the computer. She remained seated, gathering her emotions. She inhaled and exhaled. She needed to calm down otherwise, she would freak out!

"Perhaps… this is the thing she wanted to hide from us?" Cherry folded her fingers into fists.

She leaned on the backrest of the chair, placing her arm on top of her eyes to cover them.

"This might be a different Jane Frost… a woman with the same name?"

But Cherry disregarded that thought right away. There was no way it was another person with the same name. Stephen met Phantomflake and he recognized her face. Phantomflake didn't have a twin! And why are they using the same name? fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

"Damn it! I am dying to ask Stephen. He is the only one who can answer the truth. But…"

"I'm not yet ready to face this kind of truth…" Cherry admitted to herself. She was still in denial. She couldn't believe this just yet.

"Arrghhh!" Cherry screamed as she tugged her hair.

"Damn it! I don't know what to do! Sis Phantom… please wake up! I wanna hear the truth from you!" Cherry continued her monologue.

'But how can she do that? Stephen erased her memory. She won't probably remember this! This is something she wanted to forget!' Cherry's alter ego retorted.

"Damn it!" Cherry cursed under her breath. She wanted to let it out, otherwise, this would drive her nuts. She continued tugging her hair tightly.

"Hey, are you okay? Don't pull your hair like that, if you don't want to lose your hair!"

Cherry jolted and almost fell off the chair when she heard that voice. Her soul almost got separated from her body from the shock. When did he arrive? She didn't expect him to be there.

"For goodness' sake! Don't you know how to knock? What are you doing here?!" Cherry lashed out at Aiden.

Aiden blinked his eyes in amusement, scratching the back of his head. "Eh?! I've knocked thrice already but you didn't acknowledge me. I heard you talking so I opened the door. You scared me. Are you hurting yourself by pulling out your hair?" Aiden pointed his finger at her head, giving her a strange look.

Cherry's mind was so preoccupied with the shocking revelation that she failed to notice Aiden's presence. She massaged her chest. She needed some fresh air. She felt suffocated inside.

Cherry pushed the chair back and stood up. She needed to get out of that room. "Let's go! I want to leave this place."

Aiden just bobbed his head and followed her obediently. He could tell that something was wrong with Cherry. She looked pale.

'What happened to her? Did she get exhausted from cleaning the entire clinic?'

Aiden dropped by Stephen's place. He found out that Cherry went to Stephen's clinic. He decided to check on her and at the same time, fetch her. He was hoping that he could finally get an answer from her. Would Cherry give him a chance?

Unfortunately, Cherry didn't have time to think about Aiden's request at this moment. She was still troubled by the fact Phantomflake had a child. Walking ahead, Cherry came out of Stephen's clinic.

"Where are you going?" Aiden asked her, grabbing her arm to stop her.

"Anywhere… I just want to breathe some fresh air."

Aiden smiled as a great idea resurfaced in his mind. He immediately pulled Cherry toward his car. "Let's go for a ride then." ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Cherry didn't argue with Aiden. She just let him pull her. She wanted to clear her mind otherwise, she would go crazy. Fortunately, Aiden was there to accompany her. Aiden decided to have a road trip. There was a rural community three hours away from Towerville City. This was also a great chance to spend time and bond with her.

As Aiden drove the car, Cherry remained quiet in her seat. Her mind was still wandering off somewhere. On the other hand, Aiden didn't disturb her. He focused on driving and on stealing glances at her from time to time.

He was dying to ask her what happened but he could tell that Cherry was not in the mood to talk.

'I hope this long drive will make her relax.' Aiden thought to himself. He already felt content and happy since Cherry tagged along with him willingly.

Cherry rolled down the car window for her to feel the air. 'Sigh. If the wind could help me forget, I want my memory to be erased. My discovery today is so hard to accept…'

Cherry had a bad feeling that Phantomflake had gone through a very difficult moment in her life.

'My sister carried this heavy burden alone. Perhaps, it was too much for her to handle, that's why Dr. Stephen was left with no choice but to erase some portion of her memory.'

"A penny for your thought…" Aiden could no longer hold his curiosity. He wondered what was running through her mind right now.

Cherry turned in his direction with a sullen look on her face. Her eyes seemed like she was about to cry. She didn't know how she would handle this truth. Cherry was feeling helpless.

"What's wrong?" Aiden softly asked, pulling the car over. They were in a rural area now. They could see the greenfield.

"Aiden… I need your help. I have something to get off of my chest… It's too heavy here." Cherry placed her hand on her chest where her heart was beating.

When he heard that, Aiden quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car. He walked to her side, opening the car door for her. He extended his hand to her, inviting her to step out. Cherry held his hand and moved out of the car.

"Come. Let's take a walk and climb the valley. Can you see that? There is a big old tree at the top of that valley." Aiden pointed his finger at the nearby valley.

Cherry tossed a glance at the area. She liked Aiden's suggestion. Maybe by doing this, she could divert her attention even just for a while.

"Okay."

Aiden smiled tenderly when Cherry agreed. He held her hand as he guided her toward the top of the valley. Since there were lots of trees around, they didn't feel the heat coming from the sun. Furthermore, the wind was blowing that day, giving them a refreshing feeling.

After half an hour of trekking, they finally reached the top of the valley. There was indeed a big old tree that they could use as shade and a resting place.

"Go on. This place is all yours. You can shout anything you want. Get everything off your chest. Nature and I are willing to listen."
