Early the next morning, Natalie was still deep in sleep when her phone started ringing, pulling her awake.

She opened her bleary eyes and glanced outside; the sky was already bright.

A frown creased her face, her delicate, striking features clouded with irritation. She wondered who could be calling so early. Reaching for her phone, she answered, "Hello?"

"Natalie, it's me," Wendy said.

Wendy faltered, a glimmer of pain flickering in her eyes. "Natalie, I'm your mother. Can't you even call me 'Mom'?"

Natalie let out a bitter laugh, baffled by Wendy's nerve. "Have you forgotten? I cut ties with your family. You're not my mother, so stop pretending. I don't have a mother."

"Besides, what kind of mother stands by and does nothing while her own daughter is taken away?" She still remembered how Wendy had just watched when Murray's guards took her, doing absolutely nothing to intervene. Wendy felt a twinge of guilt. "Natalie, back then, I thought you'd hurt Mrs. Spencer. I just wanted you to learn a lesson, to be more careful next time. I knew they wouldn't really hurt you."

Hearing this, Natalie felt extremely hurt. 'I've already given up on expecting anything from them; why did I let myself be disappointed again?'

She didn't need anything half-hearted in her life. With a broader perspective, she saw that many things didn't even matter to her anymore.
