“You… You…”
Luna was livid, nearly losing her mind upon hearing their words.

She had a nightmare, and the scenes within it were terrifyingly real, leaving her shaken. Instead of comforting her or trying to calm her down, they ended up blaming her.
Are they really my sons?
Before the car accident, she held her sons and her daughter, Melanie, in high esteem. They were her pride and joy.
Moreover, they held her in high regard, seemingly having her best interest in mind.
Compared to them, Aurelia was nothing.
However, in my dreams…
Scenes from the dream flashed through her mind uncontrollably, one after another.
Terrified, she reflected on her actions and felt a sense of regret.
What she was going through now was exactly what Aurelia had experienced in her dreams, and yet it was far from what Aurelia had endured.
If what occurred in the dream is true, am I still worthy of being called a mother?
“You are unworthy to be my sons. I gave birth to you in vain and raised you for nothing!” Luna accused them in anger.
Aaron didn’t appreciate such comments. “Mom, ever since your car accident, we’ve dropped everything to take care of you and be by your side. Isn’t that enough? We understand you’re struggling with the reality of your amputation, but what’s done is done. Can you please try to stay calm? Stop doing things that hurt both us and yourself, okay?”
Benjamin and Spencer both wore gloomy expressions, not wanting to utter a single word.
Luna looked at Aaron, who had scolded her. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. Then, she began. to shed tears of regret.
The next day, Aurelia went to work, carrying a large bag.
The large bag was filled to the brim with local specialties she had brought over to share with colleagues.
She could have taken a few more days off, but hearing from her colleagues about the mounting work, she, a diligent worker, decided to return to the office. After all, she had a mortgage to pay off for the house she bought.

Up next was a significant amount of renovation expenses she had to pay for.

During her journey, Nancy had sent her a photo. In the picture, she stood in front of a villa, grinning brightly at the camera.
She wrote: My first day at work, and I’m brimming with energy! Wish me smooth sailing at work, Babe!
While waiting for the red light, Aurelia responded: Babe, all the best! If anything comes up, make sure to contact me anytime.
Soon, she arrived at Gardner Group Building.
After parking her car, Aurelia grabbed her bag and headed off to clock in for work.
As she was about to do so at the entrance, a colleague hurriedly rushed over to her side.
“Aurelia, don’t come to work today. The person who caused you trouble before has returned, this time with a TV crew in tow. They’re waiting here for you. The head of security has already called the police, who will be arriving shortly. Once everything is sorted, I’ll give you a call.”
Aurelia’s expression darkened as her gaze swept across the area. Indeed, there were several people standing by the entrance. Some were holding microphones, others were shouldering cameras, and among them were Aaron and Spencer.
Upon seeing that Aurelia looked somewhat distressed, the colleague quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, we’ll take care of everything. Old Mr. Gardner has already given us instructions.”
Just as Aurelia was preparing to leave, a phone call came through.
“Xavier.”
“Auri, don’t rush off to work just yet. Stay at home, alright?” Xavier instructed in a deep voice.
Aurelia’s expression darkened, she asked, “Xavier, what happened?”
Could it be that he has found out what the Leedon family is planning to do? No, that can’t be. The place where he works is quite a distance from here. It’s impossible for Xavier to know that Aaron had brought a crew from the TV Station here to find me. In that case…
Aurelia cast another glance toward the entrance, but Benjamin and Melanie were nowhere to be found.
Could the two of them have gone to see Xavier?
“It’s no big deal, we’ll handle them.” Xavier didn’t say much, afraid that Aurelia would worry.
Aurelia was listening to Xavier’s voice on the phone, and it seemed as though he was on the subway.
At this time, he was supposed to be at work. His dormitory was close to the office, just a short fifteen–minute walk away, so there was no need for him to take the subway.

Suddenly, Aurelia thought of Phyllis.

“Xavier, I’ve already arrived at work. I saw Aaron and his TV Station crew looking for me. The people at my company will handle it. Did Benjamin and Melanie take another group to find. Mom?”
Xavier paused momentarily over the phone before he continued, “Yes, they brought someone to look for Mom. She didn’t open the door, and now they’re standing guard at the entrance. I’ll head
back to handle this. There’s no need for you to worry or get involved. My friend mentioned that they’re trying to stir up public opinion and blackmail you emotionally.”
Undoubtedly, netizens unaware of the situation would be swayed by the TV Station. In time, they would launch personal attacks on Aurelia, forcing her to comply with their demands.
I can’t believe how malicious their intentions are. In an attempt to shirk from their own responsibilities, they continuously scheme and plot against me. They’re utterly despicable!
back to work. You’re
“Xavier, you should go not cut out for being in front of the camera. I’m on my way now. Don’t worry, I can handle them.” Aurelia made a decisive decision.
She didn’t give Xavier another chance to persuade her.
This was something she couldn’t avoid and had to face it herself.
Also, she shouldn’t involve Xavier and the others in it, for they would be treated in a hostile manner on the TV show.
As for her, she didn’t care.
She immediately set off in her car. The journey was almost uninterrupted, with barely any red. lights. In less than half an hour, she had arrived.
Quite a few neighbors had already gathered downstairs.
The residential community was predominantly occupied by the elderly, who generally had ample time on their hands. While other places might not see such a large gathering, this community was an exception.
With a snigger, Aurelia steadily made her way up the stairs..
Even the stairway was crowded with people..
A neighbor happened to recognize Aurelia.
“Aurelia, you… you’re back? The folks from the TV Station are looking for you…”
The neighbor, a middle–aged woman, was gazing at Aurelia with a face full of curiosity.
In fact, someone couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, “We heard about your biological mother’s incident. You haven’t even seen her once, but we don’t believe you’re that kind of person. You… you wouldn’t do such a thing, would you?”

“No matter what, she is still your biological mother. It seems indefensible not to see her at least once now that something has happened to her.”
“Yeah, I heard she has had an amputation. She’s in the hospital, insisting on seeing Aurelia. What mother wouldn’t miss her daughter?”
Listening to these people, Aurelia simply turned a deaf ear.
She never cared about what people said or thought of her. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
What she cared about was whether they had caused harm to Phyllis!
Climbing up to the seventh floor, she saw the people from the TV Station, as well as Aaron and Melanie.
Melanie was still at the door, persuading Phyllis to open it. “Mom, please open the door. My brother and I are here to resolve issues and to clear up the misunderstanding between Aurelia and my mother. My mother’s condition really isn’t good, and she genuinely wants to see Aurelia.”
“Hiding won’t solve anything, Mdm. Jenkins, please open the door,” the person from the TV Station pleaded.
The cameraman had been shouldering his camera, continuously capturing the tumultuous
events.
When the show was broadcast, it was certain to tug at the viewers‘ heartstrings.
