Chapter 522 Remember To Apply The Medication

When I arrived at Birchwood, I saw Janette sitting on the living room couch the moment I entered. Given that she was sitting in the same spot when I left the day before, I suspected that she didn’t move at all since then.

As I laid out the breakfast I brought from home on the table, I invited her in a gentle voice, “Janette, I brought you breakfast. Come and have some.”

However, she didn’t even look at me. It was as if she didn’t hear me at all. With a listless look in her eyes, it felt as if she had lost her soul.

Cognizant that she was still affected by what happened, I sighed with resignation before taking a seat by her side.

 

Looking at her side profile, I suggested softly, “Your mom will be discharged today. Do you want to go back home and stay there? I’m worried about you staying here all alone.”

Just as I spoke, Janette turned to face me and yelled emotionally, “No, I don’t want to go back! If Mom finds out that I was… How am I going to face everyone?”

Her sudden outburst gave me a fright which I took some time to recover from.

Evidently, she did hear me but had chosen to ignore me instead. It wasn’t until I asked her to go home that she began to rebut me.

“I know how difficult it is for you to face what happened. Every woman in your position would be equally devastated. However, since what’s happened has happened, you will need to learn how to deal with it. Avoiding it just isn’t the way to go.”

Patting Janette on her shoulder, I gave her a sympathetic look. At the end of the day, she was still my mother’s daughter. Although I resented her, she was still closer to me than the average stranger.
