Joseph frowned, "Obviously, you didn't achieve your goal."
"As I have said, human memory is a complex process. I deleted Irish's memory, but it doesn't represent that she would never think of it. What's more, nobody is clear about what is going to happen if human memory is exploited by humankind. Everyone's situation will be different. As a result, when part of Irish's memory has been deleted, how about the blankness? Helplessly, I transplanted some memories to her."
Joseph kept serious.
"Just like the stem cell transplantation or hair transplantation, I filled her blank memory with some memory to make it as a whole. It can be done for human memory. Plotted memory can be added to a blank memory so that one's memory can be complete. Deleting painful memories and transplanting beautiful memories is practical in theory." Tim massaged his forehead, "It's theoretically speaking. If someone wants to transplant memory successfully, it requires time and repeated clinic trials."
"Human memory has the function of healing. At that time, I just simply thought that as long as I could ensure her memory was complete, it wouldn't be a problem anymore. I deleted her memory of being taken away by drug dealers and being raped by an adult man. Meanwhile, I transplanted other memories to pretend nothing bad had happened. In fact, I succeeded. She didn't remember these things. Later I kept watching her for years, and I found that she had no such memory as she was still four. It seems that I have succeeded, but I know that there is a hidden disaster."
"What disaster?" Joseph kept serious again.
Tim sighed, "It will cause her memory to disorder. Even some memories not belonging to her will occur."
"What do you mean?"
Tim thought about it for a while, "For example, something imaginary may be taken as true memory by her, which is just the aftermath of memory transplantation. Or, she may forget something without any reason. This is also another possible result."

In prison
Joseph sat there. Although not like a rich person, he was wearing a casual style. Compared to the man sitting opposite him, Joseph was looking better. William was shaved flat, dressed in a gray prison uniform, and had nothing sharp.
William looked ten years older than before.
Joseph then really realized that William also became old like Henry.
"Yes, there is no such thing as darkness and coldness. In the room, there is central air conditioning, warm in winter and cool in summer. Three meals a day, simple and healthy. The days here are simple, with no ups and downs and nothing to worry about. There are psychological experts for our psychological intervention. That's really good."
Joseph smiled, and he still did not speak.
William leaned forward, "But no one would like to stay in such a damn place!"
"The prison is different now. I think the young man is doing so well and will wait until the day he is released." Joseph said.
William bit his teeth, "But my age does not allow me to wait!"
"You want to appeal?"
"Yes." William firmly said, "Joseph, now only you can help me."
"Help you?" Joseph barely understands, "Now that I have no power and no money, how can I help you?"
"I know you hate me, but everyone is selfish before their interests."
Joseph slightly closed his lips, "But your selfish performance is too obvious."
"Joseph, I know you still have a way out. Listen, I am really wrong." William said in a hurry.
Joseph slowly responded, "You envy your brother, and you kill Ruby for shares and murder Roy. Now you come to tell me you are wrong? Uncle, do you really think the police take a salary for nothing?"
"I did not kill my brother!" William said with red eyes.
Joseph sneered, "Then who is the murderer?"
"I don't know. My brother died of a heart attack." William said with an anxious face, "Yes, I told the police, I am a bit dissatisfied with my brother, but I would never kill him."
Joseph smiled, whose eyes turned cold, "Then you know Henry's cause of death is chronic poisoning rather than heart disease?"
William froze.
"There's no evidence that it has nothing to do with you except that you're the most suspect." Joseph squinted slightly. William's breathing became rapid, "Not me, really."
"What about your appeal? Even if you can prove that you didn't kill him, you will spend the rest of your life here."
"But I don't want to be charged with killing my brother."
Joseph reluctantly shook his head.
Was there any difference?
"Unless you find the real murderer, you'll lose your appeal, and the final result will only be a storm known by people."
William tightly clenched his fist, staring at Joseph, "Then, you can find the murderer, right?"
"I'm sorry, I don't have that much power. The police are responsible for this." Joseph's voice was very light.
"Uncle, I advise you to be quiet. You make such a noise, not only useless but also you make your wife and daughter uneasy, why?"
"What happened to them?" William asked with anxiety.
"Lilith is currently on vacation, and you can imagine the extent of criticism she faced within the company. As for our Aunt, I'm concerned about her well-being. When she visited me, she appeared pale, and when I inquired, she attributed it to the cold weather and a recurrence of her old ailment." Joseph said slowly.
William bowed his head, and after a long time, his face was buried in the palm of his hand, he painfully lowered his voice, "It's my fault. I am not good; it is I who let others criticize Lilith."
With a gaze filled with anguish, William looked up again, his eyes reddened. "Your Aunt underwent appendicitis surgery, and it seems that the medical equipment used then was not ideal. As a result, her pain has resurfaced. Joseph, even if you refuse to assist me in my appeal, I beg you to look after them. Despite your disdain for me, they are like orphans and widows needing care and support."
"I will entrust Lilith's well-being to Leo, and I will make arrangements for a doctor to attend to Aunt. Managing an old disease can be challenging, and I understand the difficulties involved. As for your question about finding a reliable doctor, wealth does not guarantee to find the right expertise or solutions for every situation. It is a complex matter, and I have done my best to provide the necessary care and support within my means."
"At that time. I wasn't aware your Aunt had traveled alone to Jiangsu and underwent the operation at a small local hospital. If she had undergone the procedure in New York, it might have yielded better results and avoided complications with her preexisting condition."
As Joseph processed William's words, many of his doubts dissipated, but a new question emerged: Who was visited by Kelly during that period?
William was unaware of who could have visited Kelly and, therefore, could not provide any valuable information on that matter.
Nevertheless, Joseph acknowledged that William's words had offered valuable clues that could potentially help in uncovering the truth.
