Chapter 344

Who Am I

Theodore’s eyes were icy-cold as he kept mum. Gizem smiled in an equal manner.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” “I have nothing to say.” Theodore continued to stare at her frostily.

“Don’t you already have your suspicions?”

“Yes, I should have had my suspicions earlier, but Master, I really do respect you. Even though I have a
lot of doubts, I still believe you since the beginning.” Theodore asked, “Have you recovered your lost
memory?” She shook her head. No wonder! She hasn’t regained her memory, but she’s noticed much
information. That’s why she starts to suspect it.

“Gizem, you can’t run away from here. Everyone on this island is my subordinate.” His gaze darkened.

“You can’t do anything even if you steal the key from Shadow. I’ve asked someone to move the
speedboat away this afternoon.” What? Gizem was taken aback.

“Unless I call them to come back, you’ll never have a chance to leave,” the old man added. Upon
hearing that, Gizem hugged Desi harder as she stated inimically, “Even so, I won’t let you harm Desi.”
If Desi is really my daughter, I won’t let Old Mr. Hoover lay a finger on her.

Theodore’s gaze turned even grimmer with a hint of coldness.

“Defying me is going to be the biggest mistake you’ll ever make.” As soon as he said that, four people
came and stood behind Theodore.

“Keep an eye on them. If they escape, I’ll punish you all!” Theodore ordered. With that, he wheeled
around and left. Gizem immediately perked up her ears to listen to his footsteps and found that
Theodore didn’t go to the room next door, so she figured he was heading to the laboratory. Although he



asked Shadow to abduct Desi, he is not well-prepared yet, which means that Desi will probably be safe
tonight. Carrying Desi, Gizem went over and sat on the bed.

“Desi, don’t be scared,” Gizem reassured gently.

“Mommy is here. I’m not scared at all.” Desi threw her arms around Gizem’s neck. Gizem was stunned
for a second.

“Why are you so sure that I’m your mommy?”

“Because you smell just like her. I’ve smelled this scent before, but I’m not sure where I smelled it. Eil
said we probably caught a whiff of it when we were born,” Desi explained.

Gizem nodded in reply. “Mommy, are you really my mommy?” Desi asked in anticipation. Gizem was at
a loss for words for a moment as she smiled awkwardly.

“Probably.” “Mommy, what’s that on your face?” Desi inquired curiously.

“This is a hyper-realistic mask.” Gizem took off the hyper-realistic mask. She didn’t dare to let Desi see
the second layer of the mask, so she showed the little girl her real face directly. When Desi saw
Gizem’s appearance, the girl’s jaw dropped. The moment Gizem revealed her whole face, Desi
exclaimed, “Mommy, it’s really you!” Still feeling awkward, Gizem responded, “You can call me
‘Mommy’ after we find out the truth.”

“There’s no need for that. I’m sure of it!” Desi was very confident with her judgment, and Gizem didn’t
know why she could be so certain of it. “Mommy, is it true that we can’t get out of here?” Desi asked,
feeling a tad fearful.

“That elderly man is so fierce. I’m scared.”

“We’ll find a way out.” Gizem stroked her hair.



“Your daddy will come soon.”

“Really?” Desi perked up again. Gizem nodded.

“Yeah.”

“Awesome!” The little girl was overjoyed, but the next moment, she pouted.

“Mommy, I have a headache.” Only then did Gizem remember something, She took out a small bottle
and extracted a white pill from it before feeding it to Desi. As Desi chewed on the pill, she asked,
“Mommy, it’s sweet. What is that?”

“That’s something I made for you. When you feel unwell, take one and you’ll feel fine in a short time,”
Gizem explained.

“Oh.” Nodding, Desi continued to munch it. After she took the medication, she felt sleepy and dozed off
on Gizem’s lap. Having Gizem by her side gave Desi a sense of security. Gizem smiled faintly as she
gazed at Desi’s angel-like face. If Desi is truly my daughter, I’d be the happiest person on earth. Desi
and Eil are so cute.

Although she didn’t have much interaction with Eil, she knew that he was a very good, sensible boy.
Besides, he always took care of his sister. However, the thought of Samuel caused Gizem to feel a
headache coming. She had heard of the rumors about Samuel and his ex-wife, Kathleen, previously,
and word had it that they shared a passionate love, but their love didn’t have a happy ending. If I’m
really Kathleen, how should I interact with Samuel?

Frankly speaking, I don’t have any romantic feelings toward him. She heaved a long sigh. It’s too hard.
When the day broke, sunlight poured into the ward. Gizem managed to take a short nap during the
night as well. By the time she opened her eyes, Desi had woken up. The latter seemed to be feeling
better than the day before.



“Mommy, good morning!” Desi greeted in a sweet voice.

“Morning, Sweetheart.” Gizem also flashed a smile.

“Mommy, I’m hungry,” Desi muttered pitifully. Hearing that, Gizem picked Desi up.

“Come on, let’s go have breakfast.” Taken aback, Desi asked, “Can we go out?”

“Don’t worry.” Gizem seemed confident.

“Okay.” The girl nodded. When Gizem brought her out of the room, a man blocked her. Before the man
could speak, Gizem demanded, “There’s not a single boat at the pier. We can’t run away from here.
Get out of my way!” The man wore a hesitant expression, keeping quiet.

“My daughter is starving. If anything happens to her, I won’t let you off!” Gizem threatened with a fierce
glare.

Those men didn’t really care about Gizem the day before. However, when they knew what happened to
Shadow, they felt cautious around her. After all, even Theodore could not save Shadow. That was why
no one had the guts to stop her. Thus, the man put down his hand awkwardly. Snorting in response,
Gizem walked off and brought Desi to the living quarters. She put Desi down on the floor and said,
“Wait for me while I heat up some food for you.”

“Okay,” Desi answered obediently. Just as Gizem was reheating some leftovers, a woman stood in the
doorway of the kitchen and commented coldly, “You’re not afraid at all.”

Gizem did not even spare that woman a glance as she asked, “When did you get here?”

“Just a moment ago.” As Lauren stared at Gizem’s face, a trace of shock flashed across the former’s
eyes.



“Your face…” Gizem turned toward Lauren and looked at the latter with an inexplicable look.

“Why? Did you think my face was completely disfigured?”

“Previously, your face was severely burned!” Lauren shot daggers at Gizem and roared furiously, “You
lied to all of us!”

“I didn’t lie to all of you,” Gizem responded indifferently. “I only hid it from irrelevant people like you.
Master has always known about it.”

“What?” Upon hearing that, Lauren got even angrier. Old Mr. Hoover knows about this? Why didn’t he
say anything then? Gnawing on her lip, Lauren continued to glare at Gizem’s face begrudgingly.

Lauren was green with envy. Even though she had been disfigured, her facial features still look so
delicate after the plastic surgery. One wouldn’t even realize she had undergone plastic surgery before!
Gizem knew what was on Lauren’s mind.

“Your nose has collapsed completely. I guess your doctor is not as skillful.” Lauren gritted her teeth in
anger.

“Don’t you dare humiliate me! You are not better than me! This is not your original appearance! You
were originally hideous!”
