Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 240

The family doctor kept explaining that Janice had been drugged, but Grace just couldn't grasp the concept. She blamed herself for being a heavy sleeper and not taking care of her kid. She was too bossy and controlling of Nathan, which led to Elisa being unable to approach Nathan, triggering the whole tragedy and ultimately leading to Lucy's disappearance.

Was it wrong for her not wanting to share her husband with anyone else? Which wife would?

Colton and Grace were both getting on in years, and Grace was pretty strict with Colton.

Why wouldn't Grace let Colton take other women to social events?

"Knock, knock."

There was another knock on the door.

"Mom, open up."

It was Keith's voice.

Janice snapped back to reality and looked at the doll she had been holding for many years.

The doll's clothes were already soaked with her tears.

Suddenly, she put the doll down, got up, and quickly walked to the door, pulling it open.

There were several people standing at the door, a young man and a woman at the front who looked alike, and the woman looked a lot like Grace when she was young.

Although Janice harbored resentment towards Grace, seeing this woman made her tears, which had just stopped, burst out like a dam had broken.

"Mom."

"Mom."

Lucinda and Keith softly called out.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Lucinda knew she had upset Janice, her eyes red and swollen as she apologized to her mother.

Janice was crying like rain.

She quickly stepped forward, trembling hands, and touched Lucinda's face.

Her action shocked everyone present; all of them watched quietly.

Lucinda was surprised, happy, and scared.

She was happy because Janice's reaction was different from before; had she finally come to her senses?

But she was also scared this was just a false hope.

"Mom." Lucinda cautiously called out.

Janice, with tears in her eyes, touched Lucinda's face, murmuring, "Lucy, it's really Lucy, you've grown up, you're really grown up, and you're fine, my Lucy!"

She hugged Lucinda and wept loudly.

Her Lucy had been missing for over twenty years, and she thought she would never see her daughter again in her lifetime.

God bless, her Lucy was found.

Lucy had also grown up, living well, and returned to her side, called her mom.

The sudden clarity, followed by the joy of loss and recovery, made Janice unable to control her emotions and cried uncontrollably.

Everyone who saw this couldn't help but be moved to tears.

Keith took two steps forward and hugged his mother and sister.

"Ethan." Janice mumbled her son's name.

Keith's eyes instantly became misty. His eyes were also red, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were about to fall.

He had grown up with Janice, but he had never enjoyed maternal love.
