Faux Vows, True Desires

Ethan frowned, "Ever since my mom lost her marbles, she gets terrified every time she sees my dad. Why on earth does he keep visiting her?" His bodyguard remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Janice had been mentally disturbed for over twenty years. Although Nathan was dating Madeleine, he never divorced Janice, his first wife. They still lived together, which made Madeleine green with envy. She saw Janice as a thorn in her side.

Every time Nathan visited Janice, Janice would go berserk. Nathan was the head of the Blue family. Janice was his wife and they had never divorced. Who had the right to stop a husband from seeing his wife? Even if Ethan was in the room, he couldn't stop Nathan from seeing his wife.

Ethan knew his bodyguard couldn't give him an answer, but he instinctively asked the question anyway.

His mother was going off the deep end again. Ethan rushed to the mansion, with his bodyguard trailing behind him. The moment he reached the door, he could hear the sounds of things being smashed and shrieks from inside. He hurried inside.

It was the same old story. A bunch of servants were trying to restrain Janice, who was clutching a doll in one hand and throwing anything she could grab with the other. The servants had been warned by Ethan so they didn't dare to rush her like before.

"Janice." Shirley felt both anxious and sympathetic. She tried to approach, soothingly saying, "It's me, Shirley."

"Stay away, don't take my baby!"

Janice picked up a vase with one hand, raised it high, glaring at Shirley. It looked like she was ready to throw it at Shirley if she came any closer.

"Don't go near her. That vase is a precious antique of mine!" Grace shouted, preventing anyone from approaching. She was worried that they might provoke her mentally disturbed daughter-in-law into smashing her beloved antique vase.
