The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 160

Willow thought momentarily and then said, "Maybe I didn't express myself clearly. My goal isn't to suddenly become a normal person who can talk to everyone."

She emphasized, "My goal is to have one more person I can talk to."

I realized I had misunderstood. "I understand now."

As I spoke, I helped her get dressed.

Willow took my hand, and we went downstairs.

A rich and nutritious breakfast had been prepared by the chef.

While eating her meal, Willow looked around the room. When it was time for milk, she walked up to Richard, wanting to speak with him. The words were on the tip of her tongue, but unfortunately, she still couldn't say anything.

Willow thought that perhaps she simply didn't want to talk to Richard, so she moved to someone else.

Others watched her in confusion.

What was she doing?

After trying with everyone, Willow returned to her seat and sighed. "Why can't I talk to anyone?"

She couldn't understand.

Talking to Annalise and Zane was fine. It didn't affect her at all. But why couldn't she do it when it came to others?

Upon hearing her words, Zane understood what Willow had been trying to do. He chuckled. "No need to rush, Willow. You need to believe in yourself. You'll definitely succeed one day."

Willow nodded seriously. "Okay."

I had finished my meal and smiled as I gently rubbed her head. "Relax. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Willow didn't know why, but when she heard Zane, she felt calm and at ease. But whenever she heard me speak, she inexplicably felt a sense of grievance.

Seeing her dejected face, I hugged her tightly. "Willow, you need to know that no matter what, Mommy will always love you."

Willow asked softly, "What if I never get better?"

"You will always be my daughter." I gently patted her back. "I will always love you."

Willow's mood finally lifted a little. "Okay."
