Chapter 410: The Worst Birthday You've Ever Had
If James had a person he loved the most, it would definitely be Barbara.
She was the wisest and most resilient woman he had ever met.
So after Barbara's death, it took him a long time to move on, struggling with deep pain, evading reality for years, and feeling increasingly lonely. It was during that time that Beatrice entered his world.
Over the years, James transferred all the guilt and reparations he owed Barbara to Beatrice.
But tonight, in a brief dream, he saw Barbara.
Daytime thoughts lead to nighttime dreams.
Barbara was always good-tempered, never hysterical, just sadly asking him.
"Why do you treat Selena like that?"
"I raised her, she's my daughter."
James woke up coughing and spat out a bit of blood.
Though a man, he lacked Barbara's great wisdom.
If Barbara were alive, she would never have taken her emotions out on Selena.
After all, even if the child was switched at birth, Selena was innocent.
