Chapter 890:
“Mom, please don’t be angry with Susanna. She must be upset when she lashes out or says hurtful things. If it
makes you feel better, you can blme. | just want you to be happy, Mom.” Her eyes widened as she looked at
Kayla. Despite awaiting a heart transplant and facing the risk of death if the surgery failed, Nancy never took her
frustrations out on her family. Kayla believed Nancy was so sensible and thoughtful.
She blamed Susanna’s short temper on Norah or Sean, suspecting she had picked it up from them while she and
her husband were not around.

Initially, Kayla had sympathy for Susanna. Yet, after being treated harshly, her patience began to wear thin.
In Kayla’s eyes, Nancy was the obedient one. Susanna, on the other hand, had attempted suicide over
something minor, leading Kayla to criticize her for her fragile mental state.
With little sympathy left, Kayla left abruptly with Nancy, unconcerned that Susanna had only recently survived a
suicide attempt by slashing her wrist.
After the confrontation, Susanna lay on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling before turning her gaze toward the
doorway.
Her mother had walked away with Nancy, indifferent to her emotional state.
A malicious voice plagued her thoughts.
“Kill yourself. Your illness is incurable. Your mother’s favorite is Nancy Chase. She has abandoned you. Just kill
yourself!”

Susanna frowned in pain, bothered by the voice again. Each tit echoed in her mind, a severe migraine would
grip her. However, maintaining an empty mind helped keep the voice at bay.
Determined to bury her emotions deep within, she hoped to find speace. But the brainwashing from the
voice left her convinced she had no place in this world.

She lowered her gaze to her right wrist, swathed in gauze. She recalled how bold she had been, cutting her wrist
deeply twice. When the blood flowed, it brought an odd sense of relief. Maybe, she mused, death would bring her
ultimate solace, and the love of her parents and brother would linger in her thoughts. In this way, her mother, in
memory, would continue to hold her dear, without any adopted daughter disturbing their family bond.
Closing her eyes, Susanna inhaled sharply and began to miss Norah.
When Norah was with her, she would always gently console Susanna. Susanna still expected to see her,
wondering when she would return.
Although rescued from the brink of death, Susanna doubted her ability to endure much longer.
Kayla and Nancy were not allowed to visit her; now only her friends stayed by her side.
