Nine Ungrateful Sisters Chapter 398
Giana watched Oscar lead Elara away and considered following.Sirius stepped into her path before she could move, and the look he gave her was flat and cutting.She stopped. 'Oscar has always been good to Elara, and our family is not the right environment for her recovery right now.'She repeated the thought to herself and let it settle.By the time Sirius caught up with Oscar, Elara was laughing at something. Whatever joke Oscar had just made, it had her giggling nonstop.Sirius opened his mouth, then closed it again. He said nothing.The intelligence behind that girl's eyes was currently on par with that of a three-year-old. He would never say that aloud, but he couldn't help thinking that the man who had once made the entire country hold its breath was now standing here making faces to keep her laughing. It was rare.'No wonder Caleb listens to him without question. No wonder he's willing to step onto a public stage for this man,' Sirius thought.Oscar had that kind of prese

Oscar made his assessment. 'It's not only the memory of being driven out that has vanished. At least several years have been wiped away.'Elara's eyes had the innocence of a child's. In a child, that innocence was endearing. In a grown woman, it was a disaster waiting to happen.When no gift appeared, Elara tugged lightly at his sleeve with a small, uncertain hand. "What's wrong, Oscar? Are you angry at me? The moment I realized you were gone, I came looking for you. How did you get so tall while I was sleeping? And you never used to look at me like that."That soft voice and those clear, guileless eyes made Oscar smile despite himself. "Of course not. Here, look what I have."He held out the flowers, the same ones he had brought to place before Arthur's memorial tablet."Oh, they're beautiful! What are they called? They're so yellow and pretty!"Sirius blinked in unmistakable alarm. He had nothing against chrysanthemums themselves. They were beautiful flowers.Solareon had spen

Oscar stood not far behind her when Giana broke down in tears.By now, he had learned through his own channels what the two sisters were doing.'Selective amnesia…' The term lingered in his mind as he frowned.Of all the illnesses in the world, those rooted in the mind were the hardest to treat. With ordinary conditions, at least you knew where you stood. If they were treatable, you treated them. If they were not, you managed them. In the worst case, you waited them out.Mental conditions were different. There was no true cure. Human emotions seemed endlessly complex, but beneath the surface, the same patterns repeated themselves again and again.No one's life was genuinely rich and varied every single day. Even with eating and sleeping, could every meal be an adventure? Could every night feel new?It was all repetition, and that was exactly what made mental conditions so unpredictable. A single word, a single sound, or a single moment could strike the wrong place without warning

How could Giana dare forget? It had happened when she was young.She could no longer remember what the argument had been about, only that she had fought with both of her parents. It had been bad enough for her to walk out.Arthur wasn't the kind of father who coddled his children."Run away? Fine. Go. Don't stop her. Let her go."She could still hear his voice exactly as it had sounded that day. She could still see her mother's face, wanting to object but not daring to.Thus, she left, running out of the house as though something inside her had finally snapped.The farther she went, the angrier she became. The angrier she became, the heavier her chest felt.She was still a child. How could her own parents say something like that?Maybe that was the problem. They had so many children. They weren't counting on her to take care of them in their old age anyway.She remembered every thought she had that day with perfect clarity. She had sworn never to return. She was going to be li

Thinking about those forged marriage documents, Giana finally rose from the ground and took Elara by the arm. "Elara, he's not here. Let's try somewhere else."She had already accepted what this afternoon would be. She could not tell the truth, so she would simply spend the time instead.They weren't going to find Oscar. She just needed to run out the clock until Amara arrived to take Elara home.Disappointment crossed Elara's face as she got to her feet. "He's not here either."She didn't bother wiping the dirt from her cheek. Turning toward the gate, she started walking.By now, Giana had figured out the pattern. She wasn't about to spend the rest of the afternoon chasing after her."Elara, there are so many places he might have gone. Let's take it slowly. One place at a time. We'll find him."That seemed to work. "All right."They continued at a slower pace, and Elara talked a lot. She told stories about the time she had been sick, when the medicine tasted terrible and Oscar

Elara pulled her hand free from Giana's grasp. "No. He's in there. I can feel it. He has to be in there."Giana gave up arguing and turned to the security guard."I'm sorry. My sister has some issues." She tapped the side of her head. "Could you make an exception and let her go in for a few minutes? We'll come right back out. I can pay you."She opened her wallet.Elara was still pounding on the gate. The massive iron door rattled beneath her fists with a force no ordinary person should have been capable of producing."All right." The guard waved away the money. "You can go in. Just don't break anything. I'll have to answer for it if you do.""Of course. Thank you. Thank you so much."The gate swung open, and Elara rushed inside.She stopped at the base of a slide. The distance was short enough that Giana caught up to her and stood at her side.Giana placed both hands on Elara's shoulders and looked her in the eye. "Elara, the park has been closed for months. Oscar isn't here.
