Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 970 What A Coincidence

"Really?" Trenton Gardner paused his chopsticks in surprise.

"Yeah," Mrs. Gardner looked worried, "It's been a while, and I haven't told you about it. You're not well, and I didn't want you to worry about it, so I kept it a secret. I thought Makayla would get better, but it's been so long, and she's lost a lot of weight."

As a mother, she should be distressed to see her daughter like this.

But strangely, she didn't. She felt no pain for her daughter, who was depressed and wasting away every day.

She knew that as a mother, she was wrong to have this idea.

But she just couldn't.

It was just that as a mother, she still had to care.

Though she could not feel much affection for her, in any case, this daughter, after all, was the one she had been looking forward to more than 20 years who just to returned to her side.

Even if she didn't like her, she would take on her responsibilities as a mother.

Oddly enough, she really didn't have much emotion when it came to Makayla. Clearly, she was the daughter that she had always remembered in her heart and always owed. When she came back to her, she should have pampered her more. Her head told her she should.

But practically, she just couldn't do it. She simply had little affection for this daughter. However, every time she looked at her daughter's childhood photos, her love was about to overflow again.

It was a situation she couldn't even understand.

Or did she always love her daughter when she was a child, not when she grew up?

How could it be possible?

Mrs. Gardner thought it didn't make any sense.

Wasn't the daughter the same person when she was little or when she was grown up?

Could her love disappear when her daughter grew up?

It didn't make any sense, and she really didn't know why.

So, she kept her strange feelings bottled up and never showed them, afraid Makayla would be upset to see how little affection her mother had for her.

For a moment, Mrs. Gardner's mind wandered.

Trenton Gardner wondered what she was thinking, handed her a dish, and then said, "I think Makayla was acting like this because of what happened in the hospital room."

Mrs. Gardner paused and asked, "You mean, what I said in your room at Amber's press conference?"

"Yes." Trenton Gardner nodded, "That time, we suspected Amber was Makayla, and then you said that when Makayla came back, you didn't have much love for her. When Makayla heard those words, she ran away sadly. It took us a long time to cheer her up. I guess she was in a better mood and seemed to be fine, but she was still thinking about it, and that's why she had these nightmares."

Mrs. Gardner frowned, "But it's been so long, I thought she was over it. I didn't think she'd remember it the whole time."

Trenton Gardner patted her hand on the back, "I understand. Makayla had been separated from us for more than 20 years, and when she finally came home, she heard her parents wondering if someone else was the real daughter. And as a mother, you don't really have any feelings for Makayla, so it's natural that she would overthink about it. I'm afraid she's still wondering if she shouldn't have come back." When Mrs. Gardner heard this, she knew she was wrong, so she sighed, "Honey, do you think I should go to see a psychologist? I don't know why. I just don't have a lot of feelings for Makayla. I was hoping she was alive. But when she came back, I..."

Mrs. Gardner looked at her hands and wondered about herself, "Honey, do you think I'm sick?"

Trenton Gardner looked at her.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand his wife's point of view either.

But he knew his wife, and there was nothing wrong with her.

As to why she acted this way with Makayla, Trenton Gardner attributed it to his wife not getting used to Makayla's return.

With that in mind, Trenton Gardner comforted Mrs. Gardner in the same way.

Mrs. Gardner squeezed the corners of her mouth and said nothing, but no one knew what she was thinking.

In the diagonally opposite compartment, Amber was unaware of her and Jared's arrival had caused a flurry of reactions from the Gardner family.

She took the menu from the waiter and scanned the menu carefully.

After looking at it for a while, she ordered six dishes. Three of them was what she wanted to eat, and the other three was ordered for Jared, which were not South Riverside dishes, but more like Olkmore dishes.

After all, Olkmore was right next door to South Riverside. So, it was not unusual for some dishes to have flavors like neighboring cities.

"That's all." Amber took one look at Jared and, with Jared's nod, smiled and returned the menu to the waiter.

"Ok, just a moment, please." The waiter took the menu and left the room.

Shortly after the waiter left, Amber dropped her bag and stood up.

Jared was pouring her juice, and when he saw what she was doing, he put down the juice jug and said, "Where are you going?" "To the bathroom." Amber replied, pushing the chair back into place.

"Okay," Jared said..

Amber smiled and left the room.

The bathroom was not far from here. She walked straight out of the room and turned a corner to the bathroom.

There were not many people in the room on the second floor, so there were not many people in the bathroom on the second floor.

The bathroom was quiet as Amber entered, but the next moment, a loud gag came from one of the cubicles.

The sound made Amber shudder as if the person inside was about to vomit their bile. It not only made her scalp numb, but also made her feel vaguely sick.

Eventually, However, Amber refrained it. She hurried into a cubicle and pretended she couldn't hear the sound. She just wanted to go to the bathroom and get back to her room.

But halfway through, the sound of vomiting stopped, followed by the sound of flushing.

Moments later, the flushing stopped, and the cubicle door opened again, accompanied by the sound of a heel.

The sound of the heels was messy and rhythmless, obviously because the person had weak legs and could not walk easily.

Amber thought the woman was puking out of energy.

Amber thought as she rearranged her clothes and flushed, then opened the stall door and walked out.

The moment she went out, she saw the woman in the sink opposite and was stunned.

It was her!

Amber didn't expect the sound of vomiting she had just heard was coming from Makayla Gardner. What a coincidence!

Makayla Gardner was standing at the sink gargling when she felt the eyes behind her and looked up in the mirror.

She, too, was stunned, then jerked her head back to Amber, standing outside the stall door, with undisguised surprise on her face, "Miss Reed."

Amber saw that she had noticed her and, instead of standing still, moved to the sink next to hers. She turned on the faucet and began to wash her hands. As she washed her hands, she replied faintly, "Hi, Miss Gardner."

Makayla Gardner forced a smile, "What a coincidence, Miss Reed. I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here for dinner, too?"

Amber rolled her eyes.

Was she crazy to eat in the bathroom?

Judy Lashley was here for dinner, but she was not.
