Chapter 766

“No!” Janice shouted at the top of her lungs.

Once a wrong step was taken, the rest of the decisions made would be wrong.

The fact that she was blinded by love had turned her family into this.

They weren’t like a family.

Ethan was a man of his word. He really crippled Leia, turning her into a disabled person.

Janice stayed by Leia’s side as if trying to make up for the ungiven maternal love.

Janice didn’t mind showering, combing, and feeding Leia, compensating Leia for the lost maternal love.

In actuality, Leia didn’t ask for much for her future. Life and death didn’t make much difference to her.

Other than the coincidental warmth from Avery, she was used to humanity’s cruelty a long time ago.

Now that Janice suddenly treated her this way, she couldn’t get used to it.

In the past, her mother resented her while her brother gave her warmth.

Now, it was the exact opposite. Ethan resented her to the bones while Janice gave her the warmest

treatment ever.

Janice lived under the same roof as Leia, and she even helped bathe Leia.

In the beginning, Leia didn’t speak a word. Like a wooden doll, she neither knew pain nor how to smile.

It was only three days later when she questioned Janice, “Why?”

Her sudden question surprised Janice. The emotion soon gave way to happiness. “Leia, art, me?”

Janice’s joyful expression confused Leia more.

Leia asked, “Why are you treating me this way? Don’t you hate me?”

It pained Janice to notice the curiosity in Leia’s eyes.

It was natural for parents to treat their children with care and love. No children would question that.

Leia was crippled, but she didn’t grumble a word.

There was only one answer to that. Leia had been through something more painful than this. That was

Leia neither cried nor caused a ruckus.

No one would exclaim how magnificent a stream was when he had seen the sea.

Janice hugged Leia and choked on her words. “Because I love you.”

“Love?” Leia still couldn’t believe her ears.

Janice gently explained, “I’m sorry, it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have directed my hatred for Kenneth

on you guys. I wasn’t completely conscious at that time.”

She wasn’t aware that she had been fed poison, which messed up her consciousness. The things she

did

knew no bounds in terms of extreme.

Even though she learned the truth after that, it was already too late.

She had it coming, and she had given traumatic experiences to her children.

“I was drugged. It numbed my nerves, and so I was diagnosed with severe mental illness. Whenever

the illness kicked in, I would hurt myself and you guys.

“I managed to recover from it after long years of rest, but I’ve lost you guys forever. I won’t ask for

forgiveness. I just wanna look after you for the rest of my life to make up for the harm I’ve caused.”

Janice’s tears pattered on Leia’s neck. “I’m so sorry for making you have such a hard time.”

“You…” Leia’s gaze wavered vehemently. Her voice was shaking. “You really love me?”

Never once had she wished for love in her lifetime.

“Silly girl. You’re my daughter. How can I not love you?”

Leia began crying. “I’ve waited for this day for many years, Mom.”

She addressed Janice somewhat shakily because she wasn’t used to it.
