Chapter 1034:

With sheer effort, Belinda forced her eyes open. And the moment she did, her pupils constricted in shock at the scene before her.

There was a person standing beside Belinda’s bed. At that moment, the figure loomed over her, both hands clamped tightly around her throat, suffocating her.

“Mom… Mom…” Belinda gasped, desperately fighting against the unyielding grip, trying to pry Holley’s hands from her neck.

However, since she had taken sleeping pills earlier, her body felt heavy and weak. She was utterly drained of strength, and despite her frantic efforts, she could not loosen Holley’s hold.

Holley’s eyes were wide open, but they were vacant. With fierce determination, she tightened her grasp around Belinda’s throat, gritting her teeth as she muttered, “No one is permitted to harm my daughter! Anyone who dares to hurt my daughter must die! I will kill you!”

“Ugh… Mom, wake up… Please…” Belinda feebly tapped at Holley’s hands, pleading in hoarse whispers, desperately trying to snap Holley out of her trance.
