Andrea suddenly clenched her fists, a flash of irritation and unease flitting across her eyes.

"Ha, jealous of you? Lizetta, I heard you were diagnosed with postpartum depression, but to me, it looks more like you're just being delusional," Andrea retorted with a mocking sneer, yet her palms were sweating.

Truth be told, ever since Mrs. Bernice Madden mistook Lizetta for her mother Elsa, Andrea had been feeling uneasy. All her life, she'd heard whispers about how she didn't quite resemble the Maddens.
