Leia was still quite young, but she had been through a lot. So, she was able to hide her emotions very well.
"This is my first time here. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to walk around for a bit."
Janice replied, "You know that Ethan's here, too. If he sees you out there, he'll definitely…"
Leia cut her off immediately, "Do you think he doesn't know that my limbs are healed? If he really wanted to kill me, he would've done it three years ago. In the end, he's just like you—delusional about
love and weak-minded."
Back then, Ethan didn't choose to kill her. He only severed her tendons. That was his way of avenging Olivia.
Moreover, Olivia was still alive. Ethan probably wouldn't hurt her anymore.
"You're not like us at all, Leia."
Leia smiled bitterly. "Who says I'm not like the two of you?"
The delusional way of thinking seemed to run in the family. Her parents and Ethan were like that, and she was the same.
She knew that her life belonged to Avery the moment he saved her life.
"Alright. Don't wander too far, and don't cause any trouble."
"I won't."
Leia took a few more steps forward before freezing in her tracks and looking back to Janice. "Mom."
Janice froze. She looked at Leia in disbelief. "What did you call me?"
She had been doting on Leia for the past few years. Leia had always been very gloomy and rarely spoke. She was also very cold to Janice.
Janice understood that she had done a lot of terrible things to Leia in the past. So, she endured whatever attitude Leia gave her.
She never expected Leia to do anything for her. She just wanted to spend the rest of her life making it up to Leia. She swore she would give all the love she had to her two kids.
