My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 151

It was clear that some weak cries were coming from the master bedroom.

The cries were like a thread that wrapped around Duke’s heart and drew itself tighter, so much so that his heart stopped beating.

Duke pursed his lips.

He took a few steps back before he lowered his voice and asked, “How often does your mom have nightmares?”

Alden looked calm and composed, but he was actually flustered.

He hated Duke, but he could not help opening up to this man.

He lowered his head and said, “Ever since I could remember, Mom has had nightmares frequently. She would have a nightmare once every few days. As I grew up, she slowly got her life together and developed her work circle. Then, she had fewer nightmares. I asked a doctor about it before, and he told me that if she wakes up while she has a nightmare, she’ll remember it, so I dare not go inside.”

The pain of the past should be forgotten as soon as possible.

Once she could forget it, she would not be disturbed by nightmares again.

Duke stood outside the room while he listened to her cries that became louder before they grew weaker. Then, he suddenly thought of those opinions about her in the news.

The beloved Ms. Daugherty had been photographed by reporters for sleeping with an unknown man on the second day of her 18th birthday. From then on, Ms. Daugherty had become the joke of the city.

Ms. Daugherty went missing after that.

Eight months later, Ms. Daugherty gave birth to a pair of stillborns, and she set fire to the Daugherty family. She then committed suicide, which shocked all of Sea City.

Even someone like him, who did not care about gossip, had also heard the people around him talk about it.

If he had known that he would care about this woman so much, would he have pulled her out of the abyss at that time?

Over the last four years, she had been raising her two children. He wondered how this woman carried on with her life…

Duke sighed.

He turned around to stare at Alden while the boy remained shrouded in the dark. “Didn’t your father think about taking responsibility?” he asked.

If a man had reached out to her, her life would not have been so tough.
