Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 566:

Marissa was caught off guard when she noticed Caylee’s eyes were open. She double-checked several times before she was sure her mother was truly awake.

Yet it was not the right time for her mother to awaken. Marissa had anticipated that Caylee would remain asleep for another two weeks due to the recent surgery, but here she was, awake far sooner.

An early awakening wasn’t necessarily beneficial. Considering Caylee had been in a semi-vegetative state for 22 years and had just undergone major surgery, it would have been better for her to rest more. Waking up prematurely could strain her body.

Despite this, Marissa couldn’t hide her excitement. Having grown up without her real parents beside her, Marissa had longed for the day when she could speak with her birth mother and feel the love only a mother could give.

Once she was certain Caylee was awake, Marissa wanted to introduce herself as Marissa Nash, her other daughter, but she reconsidered and held those words back.

For 22 years, Caylee had been trapped in a semi-conscious state, aware but unable to fully wake. Caylee had come to believe that Marissa had died at birth, thinking she only had one daughter, Tiffany.

Revealing to Caylee now that Tiffany was missing and that she, Marissa, was actually her other daughter could overwhelm Caylee emotionally and physically.
