Having just witnessed Zoey's tumultuous life and her complex emotions, a sharp headache throbbed in my temples. The sound of Philippa's crying pierced my ears, making it almost unbearable.

I covered my head with my hands and slowly sat up. I reached out and wiped away the tears in Philippa eyes, offering her a weak smile. "Mom, I'm fine."

In Zoey's memories, I saw the tragic life of this poor woman, trapped by a man for most of her years.

She was so much like me-stuck in the past, unable to move forward. The only difference was I had awoken from that nightmare, while she was still struggling, deep in the muck. Zoey's tragic end had a lot to do with her weakness.

Her hesitation and tinidity had allowed the mistress and her family to spread their poison, turning Zoe into a casualty.

But of course, I couldn't blame the victim.

It was the perpetrators who deserved the blame.

Philippa suddenly pulled me into her arms. She said, 'Zoey, you're all I have left. What would I do if I los you too?"

She was the epitome of a traditional woman-gentle, kind, and completely unguarded.

But it was precisely people like her who always seemed to attract misfortune.

I returned her embrace, gently patting her back. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll pull myself together from now or I won't make you worry anymore." This time, I was determined to live not just for myself, but also for Zoey.

Philippa studied me carefully, ensuring that I seemed fine.

The doctor had checked me over and confirmed that, aside from my hand injuries, my body wasn't in any serious condition. She finally relaxed.

She was still concerned that I might faint again, so she insisted that I stay in the hospital for a few more days.

I couldn't argue with her, so I agreed.

Leaning my head against her chest, I acted coyly and said, "As long as I'm with you, I don't mind where I stay. I want to sleep with you tonight, Mom.

Philippa wiped away her tears, a soft smile playing on her lips. She gently stroked iny hair and said, "Such a silly child, still acting adorable with your mother at your age

She stared at me blankly for a while and said, Darling, ou haven't acted like this in such a long time.

I promise I'll be more affectionate with you every dayom now on, as long as you don't replace me

In that moment, I let go of all the past, feeling as though I was simply a joyful child, resting in my mothe

embrace.

Philippa was overjoyed and fed me by hand.

Having been unconscious for nearly a day, I was starving

I didn't refuse; I ate bite after bite.

Honestly, I couldn't understand why Philippa, who was so beautiful and gentle, from a good family, had been abandoned by Bill.

He was blind and foolish, leaving such a wonderful wife for a lowly woman from the streets. It disgusted

Zoey had always been so timid, constantly trying to gain her father's approval, always walking on. eggshells.

Bill's favorite phrase was always how she didn't measure up, how she wasn't as good as the other woman's child.

But he had never once considered that, from the moment Zoey was born, he hadn't even bothered to look at her.

Zoey was gone, but I would not let that se'm of a father and his mistress live a happy life.

I behaved obediently in front of Philippa, and she was able to relax. She went home to gather some essentials while I snuck out of the hospital room. Grandma!

I have to tell Grandma the good news.

Tonight, everyone would believe I was dead, and that would surely relax Grandma.

Her hospital room was just upstairs, but the tricky part was entering without revealing my identity.

Ever since the Orchid Incident, Mrs. Lambert had been keeping a close watch, ensuring no one go near Grandma.

I hadn't been by Grandma's side for days. She must be terribly worried by HOW.

After a lot of thought, I decided to go upstairs.

This time, I didn't bother hiding my face.

As soon as I appeared at the door, Mrs. Lambert noticed me right away.

""Ms. Chloe!"

"Are you calling me?" I pretended not to recognize her

When Mrs. Lambert saw the mole on my forehead, she froze in place. "You... who are you? You look so much like her. It's uncanny."

"My name is Zoey Gardner. Do you know me?"

"No, you just look so much like Ms. Chloe. I mistook you for her. Sorry."

I smiled at her and asked, "Really, do I look that much like her?"

"Yes, you're identical, especially the eyes. The only difference is this mole on your forehead."

Mrs. Lambert sighed and said, "Sorry, I mistook you for Ms. Chloe. If only she would come back..."

"It's okay. What's happened to her?"

"Well, it's a long story. She was Old Madam's favorite, and Old Madam misses her terribly." Mrs. Lambert accidentally revealed the truth. Just what I needed.

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth as I suggested. "I see. Well, can I go visit Old Madam on Ms. Chloe's behalf? I'm bored anyway, and it'll pass the time if I have someone to talk to." ""Miss, you're hurt?"

I rolled up my sleeve and said, "Yeah, I nearly died."

The shock in her eyes was evident, but I had already stepped inside.

Gazing at Grandma lying on the bed, my heart racing. How I longed to rush to her side and hold her.

I wanted to tell her I was alive, that I had my body back She doesn't have to worry about me anymore.

But reason told me not to act recklessly. I couldn't expose my identity.

Not even Mrs. Lambert, who was so loyal to Grandma, could be trusted.

I had to suppress my emotions, ensuring no one could tell anything unusual.

""Mrs. Lambert, what illness did Old Madam suffer from

"Her age caught up with her. She fell and hurt her head. She hasn't been able to move since

Mrs. Lambert looked at me with concern and asked, "But Miss, you're so young. W why would you?" The wound on my arm clearly looked like a suicide attempt.

I laughed it off I was struggling with some things before. After dying once, I've learned to let go."

"Right. Better to be alive, even if it's not a good life."

Mrs. Lambert, like many middle-aged people, loved to lecture, treating me like a neighbor's child, chatting

away.

I didn't mind at all. During the time I was a spirit, I nearly went mad with the silence:

Her constant chatter reminded me of my childhood, when she was still young.

Mrs. Lambert used to follow me around, cleaning up after me. She would grumble, "Oh Ms. Chloe, slow down. Watch your steps!"

When I came home after a monthly exam, Mrs. Lambert would have a big meal ready, making sure the kitchen prepared extra seafood because she knew I loved it.

Before I got married, she even wiped her eyes, tears falling as she said, "Ms. Chloe, you'll be a married woman soon. Take good care of yourself."

I hadn't heard Mrs. Lambert's nagging in such a long time, and I found I missed it.

This simple, everyday warmth filled my heart with tenderness.

Even if the world was as dark as hell, there were still people who, with their small efforts, tried to light the way through it.

Living was good.

Life was worth it.

I smiled as I listened to her ramble. Mrs. Lambert finally realized she had said too much.

"Sorry, you look so much like Ms. Chloe and I got carried away.

"It's fine. I heard everything you said. I won't think about dying anymore."

"That's nice. You must take care of yourself."

I nodded at her and said, "Mmm. I'm thirsty. Is there any fruit?"

"Of course! Wait here. I'll wash some for you."

Mrs. Lambert enthusiastically picked out some fruit and went to the nearby sink to wash it.

Our voices had drawn Grandma's attention. Grandma's eyes stared at me as I arrived at her bedside.

I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, don't be afraid. It's Chloe. I'm back!"
