Janice was glued to her phone when she suddenly snatched it from Lucinda's hands. She swiftly hung up the video call, deleted Keith from Lucinda's contact list, and even turned off the phone. Everyone was stunned.

Janice returned the phone to Lucinda with a stern look. "Lucy, don't have anything more to do with that guy. He's bad news!"

Lucinda took the phone back nervously and asked, "Mom, did he bully you?"

Janice thought for a moment before replying, "Well, he didn't exactly bully me. In fact, he'd help me when others did. But the way he looked at me, I got the creeps. He's definitely a bad egg. His gaze was devilish."

Lucinda breathed a sigh of relief.

She could accept that her biological father, Nathan, was a piece of work, but if he and others were bullying her mother, she didn't know how she could face him.

"Lucy, listen to me. He's a rotten apple. Stay away from him. His whole crew is just as bad. He might look a bit like my husband, but he's not him." Janice started spacing out again.

Seeing this, Lucinda quickly served some dishes to Janice. "Mom, let's eat."

"Okay, let's eat. And you too, stop playing with your phone."

Lucinda nodded.

As long as Janice stopped dwelling on the past, she wouldn't be so confused, and her condition would improve.

Everyone resumed eating. Lucinda felt relieved to see Janice happily eating her meal.
