Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 558 For Your Own Good

Laura groaned and gradually woke up. When she opened her eyes, she seemed disoriented, but her gaze cleared up soon as she saw Jennifer. Yet, she became agitated after catching sight of Amelia.

“Jennifer, why is she here? Why did you bring her here after what she had put me through? Get her out of here. I don’t want to see her!” she yelled emotionally.

Jennifer hurried to Laura and bent over to hold the latter’s hands. It was evident that she was hot with emotion.

“Mom, do you know who I am?” she asked with red-rimmed eyes.

Ever since Laura was admitted to the psychiatric hospital, her mental condition had been unstable, and she also suffered from episodes repeatedly. Sometimes, she could recognize her husband and daughter. However, it only lasted fleetingly every time. Moreover, she could not think as clearly, so it was rare for her to speak more than one sentence, much less identify others.

Thus, one could imagine how elated Jennifer was.

Laura calmed down and said, “Did something happen to me? You’re my daughter. Of course, I know you.” Distracted by her daughter’s question, she forgot about Amelia, whom she loathed, for a moment.

After saying that, she reached out to touch Jennifer’s face, only to find that her movement was restricted. Looking downward, she belatedly realized that she was bound to the bed.

Laura looked at Jennifer in horror and shouted furiously, “Jennifer, what is this? Why are you doing this to me? Hurry up and untie me! I’m your mother!”

Upon hearing that, Jennifer felt as though a dagger had stabbed her heart, and she did not know how to explain it to Laura.

“Mom, calm down. Something went wrong with your body, and you even banged your head against the wall. The doctor had to tie you up to stop you from hurting yourself. But don’t worry. You’ll definitely be cured. Dad and I will never give up on treating you,” she said while weeping.

At that, Laura slowly regained her composure.

“Where am I?” she then asked. Her expression made it seem like she had forgotten everything that had happened.

“Mom, did you forget about everything?” Jennifer asked in disbelief as she stared at her skeptically.

“I feel like I’ve been dreaming this whole time. I kept seeing the Grim Reaper, and I was stuck in a small dark house. I was frightened, and I screamed at the top of my lungs many times for help, but nobody came. Instead, many fearsome creatures appeared before my eyes, and I was terrified…” Laura’s face twisted when she tried to recall her memories. Her voice trembled from fear as she continued, “They were so scary. I was scared to death, but none of you came to save me.”
