When Antoinette listened to Jojo's explanation, she became silent and hesitant, caught between the dilemma of whether Elijah would accept her after getting his memory back or if he would break up with her.
She didn't even want to think of Elijah abandoning her.
"Don't worry. If he truly loves you, then he will not abandon you even if he gets his memory back."
Watching Antoinette hesitate, Jojo continued to pursue her, seeing that it was successful.
"I... I..."
When Antoinette heard Jojo, she didn't know what to say.
"I will do it. I have confidence that I truly love her. I will prove it to her."
Looking at Antoinette, who was hesitating, Elijah didn't hesitate.
He believed that with his memory or not, he would love her.
He wanted to prove it to them and also to Antoinette.
Phew~
"Well... then that settles it. Freya cast the spell."
Seeing Elijah convinced, Klaus turned to Freya and urged her.
"Jeez, Klaus, first I need to do some preparation to cast the memory recovery spell."
Rolling her eyes, Freya walked towards the center of the room and began the preparations for the memory restoration spell by drawing ruins on the floor.
New Orleans...
Marcel's garden...
Marcel, Kol, Rebekah, Hayley, and Hope stood before a boy who was screaming in pain inside a salt boundary spell, and Marcel was halfway close to closing the gap with the bricks on the wall where the boy was kept immobile.
"Ahhhhh..."
"Ahhhhhhhh..."
The boy was Henry, who was in anguish and pain, screaming with bloody eyes.
He couldn't bear the pain at all. If he knew he would be like this, he would never have asked Hope to give him some blood.
The pain was so intense that he felt his whole body was in pain, like being stung with thousands of needles.
He also felt very hungry, like he had never eaten for a few months.
Sigh~
"I am sorry, Henry. I didn't mean any of this to happen to you. You have to do what I say, remember."
Seeing Henry in a terrible state, Hope let out a sigh with a sad look, walked closer to him, and tried to calm him down.
"Okay, now you are going to be calm. When you get out, I will be here, and we will be friends. If you get scared, close your eyes and sing."
Hope tried her best to calm Henry and reassured him that everything was going to be fine.
"Great... so great... You guys sent Klaus instead of me or any of you to fetch Elijah without causing a big ruckus."
When Kol heard that Klaus volunteered to go to France to get Elijah back, he looked at Hayley and Hope in disbelief.
"____"
"____"
Hearing Kol, both Hayley, and Hope, who had just returned after the conversation, became silent.
"Well, Dad is not alone. Jojo and Aunt Freya went with him. So... I don't think any problem will arise there."
Hope shook her head and stated that Jojo and Freya also went with Klaus.
When Hope mentioned Jojo, a small smile crept on her face, which was noticed by Kol and Rebekah.
"____"
"____"
Seeing Hope's reaction, both Kol and Hayley were a little shocked.
When Rebekah noticed Marcel was calm, she connected the dots.
Her eyes widened in realization when she remembered Marcel mentioning Hope was seen with a boy who seemed too close to her.
"Fufu~ it seems like my little niece has a crush on someone. I want to see the reaction of your father when he finds this out."
A smirk formed on Rebekah's face, and she started to tease Hope, whose face turned red hearing her.
While saying the last part, a glint passed through her eyes with mischievousness.
Sigh...
'She really wanted to see it, huh~'
Kol, who looked at his sister's reaction, immediately guessed what was going on in her mind.
'Well, if Hope is happy, that's all that matters...'
Shaking his head, Kol turned towards Hayley, who was giving the same reaction as him, seeing Rebekah's creepy expression.
Even though Marcel looked at her with dead eyes, her reaction was like an open book.
"Who is this Jojo? Is he a vampire or a werewolf?"
While Rebekah and Hope were chatting, Kol turned to Hayley and inquired about Jojo curiously.
Sigh...
"Well... it's a long story..."
Hearing Kol's question, Hayley started to explain who Jojo was and how they met him, from the start to the present, while she explained it to both Marcel and Rebekah, who listened attentively.
"I can't believe what I hear. Did Klaus know Jojo is Hope's mate?"
With wide eyes, Kol turned towards Hayley and asked the important question.
Cough...
"No... well, many things happened, and we couldn't find the right time to disclose it to him."
Hayley shook her head, indicating that Klaus didn't know about it.
France...
Freya completed her preparation for the memory restoration spell.
"Well, Elijah, stand inside these ruins. Here..."
Freya pointed at the part where Elijah should stand after preparing the ruins.
Elijah nodded his head and walked inside the ruins where Freya pointed.
"Elijah Mikaelson, do you want to recover your lost memory?"
Freya asked Elijah to get his consent, which is necessary to perform this spell.
"Yes, I do."
Hearing Freya's question, Elijah nodded and gave his answer.
Snap...
After Elijah gave his answer, Klaus went to his backside and snapped Elijah's neck.
"What do you think you are doing?"
Seeing Klaus snap Elijah's neck, Elijah fell unconscious and roared in anger.
"Calm down, Antoinette. To perform this spell, he needed to be in an unconscious state."
Freya interjected and asked her to be calm.
After stopping Antoinette, Freya went to cast the spell.
Elijah's mind-space...
Elijah opened his eyes inside an empty room. He looked around; the room was empty.
He got up from the floor and started to look around. The room and opened the door to get out of the room.
When he walked out of the room, he was greeted by women who looked oddly familiar to him, playing with a group of kids happily.
Seeing the kids playing with the woman who seemed to be their mother happily made him feel happy.
He saw a kid very familiar to him, which he concluded to be him.
Later, the scene shifted to a man who was training his childhood self and other kids in swordsmanship.
Elijah saw his childhood play before him, his bond with his family, and all.
Everything was going fine until one day Klaus came home with his body fully covered in blood, carrying one of his brothers who was unconscious with a panicked face.
"What happened, boy?"
the older man, who is his father, asked, looking at both Klaus and Henrick covered in blood.
Meanwhile, little Rebekah panicked and hugged her father tightly upon seeing the state of her brothers.
