Chapter 166

Her heart ached with a deep, unshakable sorrow.

But she had learned her lesson. Her own love life had been turbulent, just like her mother's. Yet, unlike Laura, Sarah had managed to walk away before it was too late.

She spent the next hour sitting with her mother, speaking to her even though Laura did not respond. When it was time to leave, Sarah felt like she was carrying a stone in her chest.

After leaving the Jaria Sanitarium, neither of them was in the mood to go home and cook, so they decided to find a restaurant to eat at.

The moment they stepped inside, the warm scent of freshly baked bread and spices filled the air, momentarily easing some of the tension in her shoulders.

But that relief was short-lived.
