Having just witnessed Zoey's tumultuous life and her complex emotions, a sharp headache throbbed in my temples. The sound of Philippa's crying pierced my ears, making it almost unbearable.

I covered my head with my hands and slowly sat up. I reached out and wiped away the tears in Philippa eyes, offering her a weak smile. "Mom, I'm fine."

In Zoey's memories, I saw the tragic life of this poor woman, trapped by a man for most of her years.

She was so much like me-stuck in the past, unable to move forward. The only difference was I had awoken from that nightmare, while she was still struggling, deep in the muck. Zoey's tragic end had a lot to do with her weakness.

Her hesitation and tinidity had allowed the mistress and her family to spread their poison, turning Zoe into a casualty.

But of course, I couldn't blame the victim.

It was the perpetrators who deserved the blame.

Philippa suddenly pulled me into her arms. She said, 'Zoey, you're all I have left. What would I do if I los you too?"

She was the epitome of a traditional woman-gentle, kind, and completely unguarded.

But it was precisely people like her who always seemed to attract misfortune.

I returned her embrace, gently patting her back. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll pull myself together from now or I won't make you worry anymore." This time, I was determined to live not just for myself, but also for Zoey.

Philippa studied me carefully, ensuring that I seemed fine.

The doctor had checked me over and confirmed that, aside from my hand injuries, my body wasn't in any serious condition. She finally relaxed.

She was still concerned that I might faint again, so she insisted that I stay in the hospital for a few more days.

I couldn't argue with her, so I agreed.

Leaning my head against her chest, I acted coyly and said, "As long as I'm with you, I don't mind where I stay. I want to sleep with you tonight, Mom.

Philippa wiped away her tears, a soft smile playing on her lips. She gently stroked iny hair and said, "Such a silly child, still acting adorable with your mother at your age

She stared at me blankly for a while and said, Darling, ou haven't acted like this in such a long time.

I promise I'll be more affectionate with you every dayom now on, as long as you don't find me
