Kaitlyn suddenly felt a splitting headache. Her face twisted, and she crouched down, clutching her head and
trembling all over.
When she stood up again, the affectionate gaze she had for Renee was finally back!
“Renee…” She scanned the area, her lips quivering. “Pammy, Zuko, you’re all here!”
“Aunt Kaitlyn!” Lina exclaimed with joy.
“I’m sorry, so sorry…” Kaitlyn knelt, hands pressed together, repeatedly apologizing, “I… caused you trouble… I
don’t know what I was doing. I…”
“Aunt Kaitlyn, it’s an illness.” Zuko sighed gently.
Honestly, seeing his little brother injured hurt him deeply. He wished he could confront the person who had harmed
his brother!
But Kaitlyn was unwell and couldn’t be reasoned with.
“Aunt Kaitlyn, come back with us now. If you agree to treatment, you’ll recover.”
“Yes, return with me!” Renee urged, reaching for her mother’s hand. As she moved closer, she assured, “Mom, I

She extended her hand, meeting Kaitlyn’s affectionate gaze. Renee was certain her true mother was back.
However, as Kaitlyn reached for her hand, she spasmed, convulsing horribly.
Regaining consciousness, she realized she had nearly touched Renee’s hand and hastily pulled away!
“Mom?”
“What a caring daughter… Planning to electroshock me in rehab?”
“No, mom! It’s for your well-being…”
“You just want to kill me!
“No, it’s you who wants to kill her!”
Kaitlyn suddenly changed again, as if she were performing a monologue on her own.
“You’re so despicable. That’s my daughter! You even want to use my own flesh and blood!
“Hah! I’m using her? Well, why don’t you ask if she’s willing to be used by me?
“No… You can’t hurt her…
“She’s a useless piece of trash if she can’t even fulfill a simple request of mine!”
Everyone around was dumbfounded, watching Kaitlyn ‘perform’ on her own—except for Renee, who was already
sobbing uncontrollably.
“I just wanted some money! That’s my purpose!” Kaitlyn looked wicked again. “Why, is it too much to ask for?
Which of these people doesn’t have a motive of their own? You…”
She pointed at Lena. “Ask yourself! Don’t you have any motive being in the Thompsons? Hahaha!”
Kaitlyn gritted her teeth. “Your motive might not be any nobler than mine! What you want might not even be
satisfied with money, huh?”
“Enough of your words!” Lena’s voice was stern. She was sure the old witch had not read her diary, but she had
somehow hit the mark.
Kaitlyn inched closer to the edge of the cliff.
“I just wanted some money… Why did Melvin treat me so badly? Why should he die so easily?”
“Mom, please stop!” Renee begged through tears. “Come with me, okay? Mom, let me take you home. After we go
back, I’ll cook for you…
“Mom…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRenee got closer to her step by step while Kaitlyn remained motionless, her facial expression changing rapidly.
Kaitlyn suddenly stepped to the very edge of the cliff—the consequences of falling off would be unimaginable.
Renee turned pale in fright and hurriedly shouted, “Mom, don’t go any further!”
Kaitlyn smiled faintly as she turned to look at Renee and resolutely put one foot out.
“Mom?”
“Renee, I know my condition probably won’t get better.” Kaitlyn’s voice trembled, but she was resolute. “The only
thing I can do for you now is to get rid of the person inside of me!”
Renee immediately understood what she intended to do. She rushed forward like a madwoman but was pulled back
before she could reach halfway.
Kaitlyn smiled faintly, as if she had detached from worldly matters.
“This is all I can do for you now.” She looked up at the sky and muttered, “I’d rather die than let you hurt my
daughter again!”
After saying that, she turned around and jumped off the cliff.
“Ah!” Renee screamed in shock, her legs going weak. She stood there, dazed, her eyes vacant like a limp puppet.
She finally realized that both extreme joy and extreme sorrow could not be verbalized.
