Chapter 1496 A Letter From The Old Joyce

• The letter read: Hello, Joyce. This is a letter that I am writing for myself. I want you to know that I once loved a man very much, but he doesn't love me back. In fact, he even hates me to death. Anyway, an accident happened and I got pregnant with his child. He got really mad after finding out about it. Not only did he not want the child, but he also ordered me to get an abortion. I didn't want to do so, but I was afraid of him threatening me with my parents. As such, I got Natalie and her husband to help me out. Thanks to them, my parents and I were able to safely leave J City and come to this country. The purpose of this is to get away from Stanley and to provide myself with a peaceful environment to slowly forget about him. However, my love for him was so deep that I couldn't forget about him at all. It could take years or even a lifetime for me to truly let go. The pain was simply too much for me to bear. I knew that it would be impossible for me to forget about him on my own, so I contacted a hypnotherapy clinic and had a professional hypnotist treat me. Due to the extreme nature of this method, you may end up with blank spaces in your memory. The purpose of this letter is to tell you the reason behind the blank spaces. Do not be afraid, and do not attempt to recover those memories. Trust me, it's not worth the pain that they bring. I hope you will be able to live happily from here on. Take good care of your parents and your child. Love, the old Joyce.
• Caitlin's jaw dropped in disbelief after she had finished reading the letter. “J-Joyce, is this how you forgot about Stanley?” she asked with her teary eyes open wide.
• Joyce shrugged. “I guess so. That's what it says on the letter.”
