Sophia had initially planned on teaching Carmen a lesson, but the little girl turned the situation around and made herself the victim first. “Alright, my good girl. Who said you aren’t an angel? You’re still the princess of angels; you’re the prettiest angel among the thousands of angels in the sky.” Carmen finally stopped crying after Sophia coaxed her for a little while more. The young girl then picked the corgi up and invited everyone to admire its butt with her.
Once Carmen fell asleep, Sophia got her babysitter to send the dog back. She glanced up toward the third floor wearily, which remained silent the whole time. Cooper must be feeling terrible right now. He really wants to see Anna, but he’s also afraid of seeing her—after all, she has completely lost all memories of him. She’s now the wife of another man, and she even has four sons… Michael might be the only person who can understand this torturous experience…
…
Meanwhile, it was past midnight in the Yard Residence when Anna found herself caught in a hypnagogic state. She had a really odd dream which had been troubling her ever since she returned to Cethos. In the dream, she felt a splitting pain in her belly. Amidst all the suffering she was in, she felt the emergence of new lives as two babies tore themselves away from her flesh and wiggled their way out of her body. She barely caught a glimpse of the two newborn babies before someone picked them up and raised the babies toward the sky. “You’d better hand the right of succession and all your shares over. Otherwise, I’ll drop your son onto the ground right now!”
The man caught everything that Anna had been throwing as he explained himself and said, “Annie, it’s me…” However, Anna couldn’t hear anything he said right then. The disgusting scent of a male body lingered in her nostrils; it was a repulsive scent that triggered her desire to break everything that she could grab onto. She threw her belongings onto the ground as she screamed like a crazy woman.
Her loud screams caught the attention of Callum and Cade, and Callum turned the lights on to see the room in an utter mess. The pillows, vases and Anna’s cell phone were on the ground, and her hair was an utter mess as she continued to throw things out. Meanwhile, Jordan pathetically took a few steps back to avoid getting hit by something.
“Mom!” Callum cried out in surprise before he quickly ran forward to hold his mother in his arms. Anna began to thrash around in his arms, looking like a pitiful woman who couldn’t seem to escape from her own nightmare. When Anna saw Jordan trying to edge closer to her, she lost her mind even more than before. “Ahhhh!” she shrieked at the top of her lungs.
This came as a shock to Jordan; he took a few steps back, his eyes filled with hurt and terror. “Dad, Mom’s having a relapse of her illness. Please go out for a while,” Cade quickly said.
“Annie…” Jordan tried to call his wife, but Anna was completely out of control. He had no choice but to bitterly step out of the room. Callum continued to tighten his grip around his mother in the room. She was crying and wailing as if she had just experienced the most traumatic incident in her life, and her face was soaked with tears of terror.
“It’s Callum, Mom! I’m your son!” The look on Anna’s face flickered for a moment as she seemed to regain some consciousness after seeing Callum’s face. She quickly threw her arms around Callum. “My son… My son, my darling Callum… My son… Don’t hurt my son! No! No!” She clung onto Callum tightly, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch him away from her. He returned the hug and began to tear up as he listened to her muffled sobs and incoherent sentences. “It’s okay. It’s alright. I’m here now, and no one’s going to hurt me. We’re all grown up, so we can protect ourselves now!”
