Seeing how confused Theo and I were, Sara lost her patience and said impatiently," You know, I really admire both of you, especially you, Wanda. In order to stop me from marrying Tyler, you have no qualms about sacrificing your own son. Don't you think you're too cruel as a mother?"
"What are you saying?" I suppressed the anger in my heart.
Sara rolled her eyes. "Stop pretending. I know what you’re up to. I clearly saw you and Theo taking the child away from the hospital. Then, like a thief posing as a judge, you told everyone that your child has gone missing. You're only doing so to attract Tyler’s attention, aren't you?"
I was utterly confused right now. What exactly was this woman talking about?
"I went to visit you in the hospital with Tyler today, but Tyler was worried that I would make you angry, so he told me to wait outside. I didn't want to upset him, so I only went in later.”
She pretended to hold her head high and looked elsewhere. "I know I hit a nerve in you after going in, but you didn't have to raise a scene by kidnapping your son just to stop Tyler and me from getting married. You’re his mother."
After saying those words, Sara seemed dissatisfied and added, "Or should I say it's because Munchkin isn’t your biological son and that’s why you're able to bring yourself to do it?"
Before Sara could finish her sentence, I had already splashed my coffee on her.
The coffee splashed on her delicate makeup and stained her spring collection haute couture dress.
She was momentarily startled before pointing at me and yelling, "Are you crazy, Wanda Lane?"
I got up and held her wrist. "That's right, I've gone crazy, so you'd better watch your mouth or I’d do anything!”
