There were times when she desperately wanted to sever ties with Jennifer and never speak to her again. But how could she possibly sever a bond bound by blood? Jennifer persistently sought her out, publicly declaring that she was her daughter. Despite her desire to sever ties, it was easier said than done.
Jennifer shook her head when she heard Nadine claim her mother was dead, blocking her path. Wiping away her tears, she said, "My dear daughter, you can't mean that! No matter what, I'm still your mother.
"I brought you into this world after carrying you for ten long months, going through so much hardship in the process. How could you utter something so cruel and ungrateful?" She deliberately raised her voice so that everyone around could hear. With tears in her eyes, she pretended to be a loving mother. "Nadine, no matter what, you're my flesh and blood. You can't just abandon me!" There were quite a few patients in the small garden and their family members who were looking after them, all eager to watch the unfold. As soon as they noticed a commotion, a crowd quickly gathered, and everyone began to throw in their two cents.
"Wait, you guys are mother and daughter? No way! You look nothing alike!" "Please calm down, ma'am. There's no need to cry!" Since Jennifer was older and visibly crying, it was only natural for the crowd to sympathize with her and speak up on her behalf. This emboldened Jennifer.
