Linda’s face lacked a smile, instead revealing a flicker of pain and resentment in her eyes.

Cordelia’s heart sank as she hurriedly took Linda’s hand, sensing a slight tremor and icy coldness. “Linda—”

“I-I want to report it to the police so badly!” Linda’s eyes turned red as she harshly bit her lip. “I’ve been thinking these days, if those two people hadn’t taken Pammy away, I wouldn’t have lost my daughter for 20 years!”

“But… But try to see the positive side!” Cordelia tried to console her. “If it weren’t for them rescuing Pammy, she would have died in that shipwreck! And over all these years, that couple has treated her as their own daughter, loving her just like their own…”

“But they’re still to blame—completely at fault!” Linda snarled.

Her depression sometimes made it difficult for her to control her emotions. The slightest thing would consume her thoughts and amplify her negative feelings. What others saw as a minor issue became a mountainous burden for her, suffocating her.

After Lina’s advice last time, she obediently took her medication on time. However, the side effects were particularly pronounced in her case.

Dizziness, cold sweats, and tremors plagued her. And now, she couldn’t control her thoughts and emotions. It felt as if a raging monster resided within her, destroying all rationality and trapping her in a swamp of negativity.

“Even if they treated my daughter well… they’re no different from human traffickers, are they? If they had already saved Pammy back then, why didn’t they hand her over to the police? Why did they secretly raise her themselves?

“They hid my daughter… they’re so cruel!”

Linda hugged her head, painfully pulling at her own hair, tears streaming down.

Cordelia held her tightly, gently stroking her back.
