Reborn for Revenge or A Second Chance At Vengeance

Chapter 196 Emotional Blackmail

“You… You…”

Luna was livid, nearly losing her mind upon hearing their words.

She had a nightmare, and the scenes within it were terrifyingly real, leaving her shaken. Instead of comforting her or trying to calm her down, they ended up blaming her.

Are they really my sons?

Before the car accident, she held her sons and her daughter, Melanie, in high esteem. They were her pride and joy.

Moreover, they held her in high regard, seemingly having her best interest in mind.

Compared to them, Aurelia was nothing.

However, in my dreams…

Scenes from the dream flashed through her mind uncontrollably, one after another.

Terrified, she reflected on her actions and felt a sense of regret.

What she was going through now was exactly what Aurelia had experienced in her dreams, and yet it was far from what Aurelia had endured.

If what occurred in the dream is true, am I still worthy of being called a mother?

“You are unworthy to be my sons. I gave birth to you in vain and raised you for nothing!” Luna accused them in anger.

Aaron didn’t appreciate such comments. “Mom, ever since your car accident, we’ve dropped everything to take care of you and be by your side. Isn’t that enough? We understand you’re struggling with the reality of your amputation, but what’s done is done. Can you please try to stay calm? Stop doing things that hurt both us and yourself, okay?”

Benjamin and Spencer both wore gloomy expressions, not wanting to utter a single word.

Luna looked at Aaron, who had scolded her. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. Then, she began. to shed tears of regret.

The next day, Aurelia went to work, carrying a large bag.

The large bag was filled to the brim with local specialties she had brought over to share with colleagues.

She could have taken a few more days off, but hearing from her colleagues about the mounting work, she, a diligent worker, decided to return to the office. After all, she had a mortgage to pay off for the house she bought.
