Chapter 230 Did You Two Have A Fight?

Seizing the opportunity while he was on the phone, Cynthia quickly pulled down the skirt. that had been hiked up around her waist in humiliation. With tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, she pushed him away and ran out of the office.

Zachary’s gaze followed the woman as she left. He walked over to his office desk, took out a cigarette, and lit it, forcefully suppressing the anger within him. “It depends on the situation. Medication and psychotherapy are options, but a lot depends on the patient. If she can’t find her way out, no amount of medication or effort will help. So, have you become soft?”

Zachary let out a mocking laugh, not waiting for the other person’s response. “I knew this day would come, Eric. Don’t forget your purpose! Do you think you can back out now? You’ve been drugging Eileen for twelve years. Even if you treat her well now, she will never forgive you. Do I need to remind you of everything you’ve done to her? There’s no turning back now.

This was the woman Eileen saw in her dreams- her mother.

“Are you tired, Lenie?”

In the darkness, Eileen heard her mother’s voice. Through a faint glimmer of light, she saw a woman sitting on a bed, her face hidden in the darkness. The gentle voice belonged to her.

Eileen seemed to have found a glimmer of hope in the darkness. She knelt and looked up, tears falling from her eyes. “Mom… You finally came to find me. I really, really miss you. Mom, can you take me with you, please?”
