Judy looked perplexed and shook her head.
She had no recollection of anything from her childhood. She always thought it was because she was a late bloomer and began to remember things much later than others.
Her earliest memories were when she was brought to Tocham by Matthew and lived there ever since.
Lilly tucked Judy's fringe behind her ears, revealing her beautiful features. As if talking to herself, Lilly said, "It's because you've forgotten it. If you could remember it, you wouldn't have come to Techam with Matthew."
Judy was confused. "Why so? I thought Father brought us here because our old place wasn't safe?"

"Oh, by the way, do you still have the box your mother gave you?" Lilly asked.

"You'll find-out when you can open the box," tilly said. She sounded SO profound that Judy felt confused. Judy thought that Lilly had been hiding something from her for many years. ... -

Judy nodded. But she was unable to move her body.
She was tense throughout the whole operation. Now that she was relaxed, she was so exhausted that she couldn't move her legs.
