"Johny, I'm so painful!"

"Johny, help!"

"Johny, where are you?"

Johny suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating in panic. He looked outside from the moonlit room which was extremely silent.

The other side of the bed was still empty.

That position once belonged to Ceres.

This was the first time for Johny to miss and rely on one person so much, which he was never expected.

He used to believe that he could live without anyone. When he met Ceres, he thought that he relied on her good cooking skills but not the person. Until this moment, he realized that he was wrong. Johny tried to put himself together. However, he couldn't fall asleep again. He walked out of the room and passed by his son's room while a sound came from inside.

"Mommy, please don't go! Mom!"

Johny hurriedly opened the door and entered the room. He found Swedum was having a nightmare and his arms were waving around.

Swedum also woke up from the nightmare. Johny held him in his arms. When Swedum saw Johny, he started crying again.

"Daddy, I miss Mommy. Why isn't Mommy back yet?"

Johny stroked Swedum's head softly and said, "Mommy will be back very soon."

"You are lying. Is Mommy not coming back? Does she abandon us?"

"Stop crying!"

Swedum sobbed and tried to hold his tears back, "Daddy, I miss Mommy. I had a nightmare that Mommy was bullied. I wanted to beat those bad guys away, but I couldn't."

It was unexpected that the father and son had the same nightmare.

In his dream, Ceres had been shouting for help at him. However, he could not hold her hand no matter what.

This must be stopped!

He couldn't let the situation continue like this.

He had to replace her and take her back home immediately!

"Daddy will go to Country M tomorrow and bring Mommy back. Is that ok?"

"Alright! And I want to go with you!"

"No, you can't go. You are so young that I have to send people to protect you. Swedum, please stay here. Daddy will bring Mommy back. I promise." Swedum had to obey him and nod.

He was only a little boy. The only thing he could do was to listen to his dad and not cause trouble.

The next day, Johny began to prepare for his visit to Country M.

Bob was very confused about the reason why Johny suddenly change his mind.

"I'm worried that she might be utilized because she lost a memory."

Johny didn't want to go to replace Ceres just because he had a nightmare. He did not make this decision on a whim.

Ceres had lost such an important memory and had contact with Jamie in Country M. She was in danger.

The consequences would be unpredictable if Jamie knew Ceres had lost her memory.

After Jamie fainted from the hunger strike, the relationship between the father and daughter had returned to the past. This made her realize that her position in the family was not as stable as she used to believe. If she did something wrong, she would be punished and lost her status.

However, what Jamie had done disgusted Caleb. Jamie couldn't do anything during this period of time, which also made her very anxious.

So Sally tried to persuade Jamie once again.

"Jamie, just think about what you've done. You should stop. Just hand out the antidote. I'll give it to Ceres immediately and ask her to leave. Once she leaves, everything will be all right."

Sally tried her best to persuade her. Ever since Ceres came, she couldn't have even one good sleep.

And ever since Jamie did that thing on that day, she even needed sleeping pills to sleep well.

Jamie thought for a moment and replied, "Fine. Please tell her that as long as she agrees to leave, I can give her the antidote."

Sally felt so happy in her heart when she found Jamie's attitude, "That would be so nice. I'll talk to her immediately!"

Sally came to the hot spring room. Ceres was busy. She ignored Sally when she saw her. Sally had to go up to her and pull her aside.

"I am your mother, but you don't want to talk to me anymore."

"I assume that you have already forgotten you are my mother. What do you want to say?"

"Mary has agreed to give you the antidote as long as you leave here. Just pack up your things and get ready to leave."

Ceres looked at Sally in surprise. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face.

"Why are you laughing?"

"She asked you to come to me, right?" Ceres snorted and said, "My red spot doesn't have an antidote at all. She is a liar. Only you believe her."

Sally frowned and looked at Ceres, "It's impossible. Mary will never lie to me! There must be an antidote if she said so. You should pack up and leave quickly. The antidote will definitely be given to you." "Then give the antidote to me first, please. After she gives me the antidote, I will leave." Ceres smiled.

After finishing her words, Ceres went back to work.

Sally pulled her back, "Why are you so stubborn? Mary is ruthless now and if you refuse to leave, you are just waiting for death. She will hurt you."

"When did you care about me?" Ceres shook off her hand.

Sally had been in favor of Jamie all along.

"You want her to bring you luxurious life because she is the daughter of Caleb."

Sally was embarrassed by her words. Indeed, she was doing this for her rich life. But at the same time, she did care about Ceres.

No one could benefit from this situation.

"Ceres, Please just listen to me. I beg you. Just leave, or she will really kill you."

"Why would she kill me? Does she have any shameful secret?"

Ceres felt even more curious.

She wondered the reason why Jamie have to kill her.

It seemed like Jamie really feared that she would stay here and she didn't want her to be in contact with Caleb.

Was it possible that she really had some dark secret?

"What secret? Anyway, she is the daughter of Caleb."

"That is what you always emphasize when you talk to me. I never refute that she is the daughter of Caleb. What are you hiding from me?" Ceres pushed on her step by step. Sally was scared out of her wits, "I've said everything I need to say. You should leave now!"

After leaving that words, she tried to escape.

"Wait! I have something to ask you." Ceres stopped her.

"How is my father in prison?" Ceres grabbed Sally by her arm.

Hearing her words, Sally was even more frightened.

"What are you talking about? Isn't he dead?"

"Dead?" Ceres looked at Sally in horror, "What happened? How did my father die?"

Ceres looked at Sally with disbelief.

The expression of Ceres frightened Sally. Sally didn't know why she suddenly ask about this. After all, it was Ceres who had arranged the funeral for George along with Johny. Sally was so frightened that she shook off Ceres's hand and ran away.
