Cordelia was momentarily stunned. She was filled with surprise and exhilaration as she grabbed Xyla’s
hands.
“Mom, you can recognize me?”
Xyla looked at her blankly, her gaze a bit dazed.
“Mom!” Cordelia was so excited that she leaned on her lap. “You finally remember who I am… You
couldn’t recognize me for a while, and you could only recognize Carter. It made me so sad!”
A smile appeared on Xyla’s pale face. She stretched her skinny arm forward and caressed Cordelia’s
long hair.
“Lia… You’re Lia…” she mumbled.
Although her voice was low, Cordelia was satisfied.
“Mom, the weather is nice today. Why don’t we go down and have a walk?”
Xyla did not respond. She slowly raised her eyes and looked straight into the distance, her mouth
mumbling a couple of words now and then.

had just felt.
“Mom…”
“Lia…” Xyla mumbled, “You’re my daughter… You’re Cordelia Jenner… You’re a Jenner?”
Cordelia was dumbfounded.
Suddenly, Xyla’s expression changed. As if she had finally snapped herself back to reality, her eyes
were filled with hatred right now.
“Mom?”
“You’re a Jenner, so that means you’re William’s daughter!”
Before Cordelia could do anything, Xyla grabbed her hair.
Cordelia shouted and was overwhelmed with fear. She tried to break herself free from Xyla’s grip but to
no avail as Xyla refused to let go of her hair.
Cordelia felt like her scalp, and her bone were getting torn apart. It hurt her a lot as she shouted, “No!
Mom! No!”
However, Xyla paid her no mind. She grabbed her up and threw her across the room, causing Cordelia
to smash into the drawer with a meaty smack and knocking everything on the table to the floor.
When Cordelia tried to get up from the floor, Xyla rushed forward and kicked her in her stomach.
“You can’t have this kid! You can’t have this kid!” Xyla mumbled, “You need to take it away! You need to
take it away!”
Cordelia was in a lot of pain, and the nurses all came in after they heard the commotion.
However, they couldn’t keep Xyla under control, no matter how hard they tried. Just when Xyla picked
up a vase and was about to throw it at Cordelia, a white figure dashed in and held her down!
“Quickly! Go get some bandages!”
The nurses were all terrified, but they still hastily went to do as the doctor said. All of them helped the
doctor and pinned Xyla down on the bed.
The doctor inserted the needle into her wrist and slowly pumped the sedative in. Xyla soon calmed

It was a mess in the ward, and everyone was silent.
The nurses let out a sigh of relief. Only now did they notice Cordelia, who was trembling in pain at the
corner. They hastily picked her up from the floor and brought her out to check her wounds.
Cordelia was shaking all over. She was overwhelmed by her sadness and fear, and tears began to
stream down her face.
“Luckily, all the wounds are superficial,” the nurse said as she tended to her wounds. “Please don’t be
so sad. Your mother has been performing pretty well in normal times. She took her medicine before
you came, but we don’t know why…”
“Give me her medical report.” A voice rang out.
The nurse was stunned, and her face turned red when she met the doctor’s eyes. She hastily lowered
her head and went to do his bidding.
Cordelia came to her senses and looked toward the source of the voice. A tall and handsome doctor
entered her vision. He was good-looking. There was a regal air about him, and his white coat further
accentuated his attractiveness.
She could understand why the nurse would behave like that just now.
It was just that she did not know why, but she felt the doctor looked somewhat familiar.
“Seth?” She called out to the doctor after a short contemplation.
