S21 19. Disturbing Barbara’s Peace

Barbara just sighed. She was too lazy to talk.

“We can’t stay still, Dear. We have to prepare a counterattack. Otherwise, they will become even more reckless.”

“Mom,” Barbara frowned, “can’t you just calm down? Just for one day, don’t worry about anything. I’m still recovering. I need peace.”

taking away our rights! I can’t let it happen.”

Barbara closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She realized that she couldn’t possibly win in an argument with her mother.

Barbara turned around and pulled back the blanket. Melanie was stunned by her daughter’s unusual behavior.

“I want to sleep, Mom. If you go out, please turn off the lights.”

Melanie sighed in disbelief. However, she still fulfilled her daughte request. She came out with a dull face.

“Is Barbara upset with me?” Melanie started to grumble. “It’s all because of those parasites. They must have instigated Frank to poison Barbara.”

exploit?”
