Chapter 978

“And you’ve never doubted him before?”

Cathy was stunned. Her eyes were dazed and confused.

“Why should I doubt him? Sean treats me very well and is the person who treats me the best in this world. I can’t doubt him.”

Her innocent and naive experience gave Nell a bit of a headache.

She sighed helplessly. “Well, even if that’s the case, why do you want to avoid me? Don’t tell me that it’s not because of me that you’re in a hurry to leave.”

Cathy wrung her fingers nervously as if her carefully hidden lie had been caught and exposed.

“I... I didn’t mean to hide from you either. I was just afraid...”

“Afraid?” Nell raised her eyebrows. “What are you afraid of?”

“I...” She suddenly panicked and looked around, as if searching for something.

Nell knew that she was looking for Sean Miller.

It was as if that man was now her anchor and could not leave her line of sight, otherwise she would grow inexplicably anxious.

Although Nell was not a doctor, she had some knowledge about psychology.

She found that Cathy’s current situation was very much like a kind of traumatic stress reaction.

Cathy had been deeply hurt, the person she trusted the most had betrayed her and wanted her dead.

Therefore, she was terrified and upset. Even though she lost all her memories since waking up, the subconscious fear still remained deep in her.

The person who saved her was Sean Miller.

Like a drowning person who suddenly grasped a lifeline, she regarded him as the only sunshine in her life and clung to him, refusing to let go.

Everything around her was strange and unsettling. Only Sean, the man who saved her, had her trust and reliance.

Nell was suddenly relieved.

In that case, what was she upset about?

As Gideon said, it was already a gift from heaven that Cathy survived such a big accident.

What Nell needed was not to blame and complain, but to cherish and love her, to make up for the ten years they did not have a chance to spend together.

At that thought, Nell’s lips pulled up in a smile.

“Well, you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to.”

She paused and asked cautiously. “Can I... come closer to you?”

Cathy froze and looked up at her blankly.

Nell took careful steps forward. “Don’t be scared. I’m your daughter, your family. I won’t hurt you. Just like your Sean does, we all love you very much, so please don’t worry. I just miss you so much and want to be close to you. Don’t hide from me, okay?”

Cathy stared at her, but perhaps because she understood Nell’s words, although her body was still visibly tense, she continued to stand still.

Nell finally walked up to her.

She stretched out her arms to circle Cathy’s shoulders, and embraced her.

“Mom.”

The single word already caused tears to overflow from her eyes.

Cathy stood there dumbfounded, but as if sensing Nell’s emotions, she also reached out and gently wrapped her arms around her body.

“Mom, I’m so glad you’re fine. Over the years, I’ve had countless dreams about the way you looked after me when I was a child. I thought I’d never seen you again in my life, but now that we can see each other again, I’m very happy and very grateful. I don’t want to force you to remember those painful things. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to remember me, but I’m begging you, mom. Please, don’t avoid me anymore, can you?”

Cathy was stunned. She clearly could not remember anything, but when she heard Nell’s voice, for some reason, her eyes also started to sting.

“Okay, I won’t avoid you anymore.”

She spoke softly.

Nell was shocked and released her in surprise. She grabbed Cathy’s hand.

“Really? Mom, you promise?”

By this time, Cathy had already lowered her guard. Although she was not able to be as intimate as Nell, she did not reject Nell as much now.

She smiled shyly and nodded.

Nell was ecstatic.

“Mom, I promise you. As long as you don’t like it, I will never bother you. If you’re upset about anything or if someone bullies you, you have to tell me, okay?”

Cathy smiled again and said after a moment, “I’m fine. No one is bullying me.”

Her kind and simple appearance was exactly the same as it was ten years ago.

Nell sighed helplessly.

“Alright!”

After a pause, she asked, “Where are you planning to go next? Have you decided?”

Cathy shook her head. “I’m not lying. We really haven’t decided where we’re going next. Although... The sudden decision to leave was indeed because your appearance made me a little scared. I’m sorry, Nell, I didn’t mean that. I mean that I’m not afraid of you...”

Cathy realized something and suddenly became nervous, explaining urgently.

Nell quickly interrupted her and reassured her. “I know, don’t be nervous. I know you’re not afraid of me. You’re just afraid that I’ll talk to you about the past and remind you about those painful times, right?”

Cathy paused for a few seconds and nodded.

Nell sighed in relief and comforted softly. “You don’t have to be afraid, and you don’t have to worry either. Since you don’t want to remember those things, let’s pretend they never happened. Nobody is allowed to mention them, okay?”

Cathy was relieved and nodded her head again.

I know a few good places you definitely haven’t been to before, so stay for two more days and I’ll show you around. How does that sound?”

Cathy paused and seemed to hesitate.

However, she was a soft-hearted person and immediately surrendered when Nell showed a look of pleading.

“Alright, I agree.”

Nell let out a bright smile.

At this time, outside the reception room.

The three men stood there in silence.

Mr. Donnelly naturally felt awkward. Although one party was his friend, the other party was possibly his future business partner. They all knew each other.

However, this was their family business and he was an outsider, so there was a very awkward feeling that he did not belong here.

Now, Cathy and Nell were the only two people inside. Sean was not from here and it was his first time in the capital, so it would not be good to leave him here by himself.

After all, although they were mother and daughter, Cathy could not remember anything now.
