I Am An Illegitimate Child With A Legitimate Reason For Revenge-Chapter 197: Hey, are you okay?
Skylar hurried to help the lady up. Though he didn’t know what was going on, he felt it was not right to push down a lady. Much less one who was wounded.
This lady must’ve been the one who saved Rachael from getting crushed by the car so why was Raymond treating her like this?
He was on his way to see Rachael and maybe introduce herself as her uncle when he saw this. He was confused.
The blonde lady looked at Skylar as he helped her up. She was speechless by his brave heroic act even when he didn’t know what was going on.
"What’s going on here? Why did you push a lady down so hard?" Skylar asked but Raymond was in no mood to give explanations so he turned to leave but the blonde lady was so adamant that she grabbed his leg.
"Why are you doing this to me? You said we would get married. Why did you do this to me? Why, Ray?" Hearing this, Raymond’s eyes grew dark and he was very close to kicking her off his leg when Skylar intervened.
"Wait a minute." He grabbed the lady and pulled her away. "Are you out of your mind?" He asked Raymond who glared down at the both of them.
For a moment, Skylar felt his throat was going to be slit by an unknown force. The pressure of Raymond’s glare was just so great.
Without saying a word, Raymond made his way out of there.
’If I didn’t know better, I would’ve assumed Raymond had an affair with this lady and dumped her but...’ He looked at the lady weeping in his arms. ’Raymond would never do such a thing. Yet, she called him Ray.’
It was confusing.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked her and she sniffled.
"Why? Why doesn’t Ray want me anymore? Why did he have that man chase after me? Why did he give me to him?" She cried more.
Skylar tilted his head. He would never know what happened unless she calmed down and told him the entire story. He saw her bleeding arm and it seemed the wound on her head opened up again because the bandage was soaked with her blood.
"Come on, you’ll need to go back inside so your wounds can be treated." He said and when she tried to stand, she stumbled. "Careful."
Although he didn’t quite understand what was going on or who she was, he helped her in.
The nurses attended to her and all the while, she was very wary of what they were doing.
’She is scared.’ Skylar thought as he watched the process. ’What happened to you?’
After the nurses were done, they excused them and Skylar sat down.
"First, what is your name?" He asked her and she flinched, shifting away from him. "Won’t you answer me? I won’t hurt you. I helped you out, didn’t I?"
"T-Tracy." She finally answered.
"Tracy, where are you from?" He asked but she shook her head. "What? You don’t want to tell me?"
"I... I don’t know." She said, her hands trembling once more. "I don’t r-remember."
Skylar was silent. Memory loss?
"Then why did you call that man from earlier Ray?" He asked and she said,
"Because he’s Ray." She said, "He and I... we... we were both going to get married." She trembled more. "We were going to get married, why did he leave me? Why did he give me to that man?"
"Are you sure he is the man you were supposed to marry?" Skylar asked and she paused.
"He... He has to be the one. Ray cares for me. Be tries to hide it but I know he does and that’s why he was in front of the door." She squeezed her hands together while shaking. "Ray loves me."
Skylar was once again silent. Did she assume Raymond was her Ray because he was in front of her door when she came out?
Her memories must be all jumbled up and that’s why she mistook Raymond for someone else.
Besides, that name ’Ray’, the only one who was allowed to call him that was Ariel in the past. Now he understood why Raymond was so mad and even wanted to kick her down.
"Listen, that man isn’t the man you think he is." Skylar said but this only agitated Tracy.
"Liar." She yelled. "Did he pay you to say that? You’re in it with him, aren’t you? You all want to sell me to that awful man. You all..." she hugged herself while digging her fingers deep into her skin.
"Hey, careful. You’ll hurt yourself." He tried to stop her but she yelled.
"No, give me my Ray. I was to see Ray."
Skylar felt a sweat roll down his forehead. What was wrong with her? He couldn’t handle this. He needed Paige.
"Okay, I’ll go get him for you." He said, standing to his feet but she surprisingly caught his hand.
"No, you... you want to leave me here? What if..." she looked towards the window and then the door. "...what if that man comes here? He’ll catch me when you’re not here. He’ll..." she trembled.
Skylar felt stuck. How was he going to go about this?
Plus, he didn’t really feel comfortable being here with her alone. He pitied her, yes but this was too much for a stranger. He was someone who just got a fiance, he shouldn’t be so close to a girl even if it was out of pity.
He pushed her hand down and said,
"No one will come." He tried to smile in order to assure her. "I’ll go get Ray for you right now."
"Ray... Ray will come." She muttered. "Ray will come to me." She smiled maniacally. "Ray will come to me and marry me."
’It seems she not only got her memories twisted, she became a psycho as well.’ her thought and his eyes fell in even more pity. ’And all this happened because she tried to save Rachael.’
