The Silent Wife
Chapter 157
Chapter 157
“Mrs. Burton, what’s wrong with you?” As soon as Jennifer saw Rachel’s pained appearance, she hurriedly went forward.
Rachel felt as if something was about to burst out of her brain as she frantically gripped her forehead, but she failed to suppress the pain. As she let out a cry of pain, she fell to the floor.
“Mrs. Burton!” Jennifer’s face paled with fear.
The colorful world suddenly turned black and white as time wildly receded to that scene in the isolated mountainous area more than twenty years ago, where birds and animals fluttered among the mountains and

“Mom, it’s too boring at home, so I wanted to follow you up the mountain to collect herbs.”
“Don’t fall down. Come and hold my hand.”
“Okay!”
“Do you like collecting herbs?”
“Yes.”
“Then, I will teach you a song about herb-picking, okay?”
“Okay!”
“Poria seeds, peony flowers, forsythia, dahurica, mixed with red sand…”
Rachel’s lips vibrated. Despite the inability to make a sound, the memory of those children’s songs suddenly became incomparably clear to her with the name of each herb echoing in her ears.
“Mom, are we not going to pick herbs today?”
