Bye, My Irresistible Love

Helen’s POV: 

After I ran out of the company canteen, I didn’t know where to go.I just wanted to be miles away from that place and those horrible people.

So I got onto the subway and just went wherever it took me.I was directionless and broken.

This morning, I received an urgent call from the doctor, saying that my mother had suddenly suffered a mental breakdown.

When I arrived at the hospital, I was informed that the caregiver had allowed my mother to meet Libby and Jane on several occasions in the past week.

The caregiver explained, "I don’t know how matters took such a drastic turn.When those two people came to visit your mother, she did not refuse them.Instead, she asked me to excuse them so that they could chat in private."

"What did they talk about?" I asked sternly.

"I don’t know.They requested me to leave so I didn’t listen in at all.I thought they were your mother’s friends and it was just a normal visit so I left and went about my other duties." The caregiver was eager to shirk the responsibility.

I didn’t interrogate her any further.

The unexpected visit by Libby and Jane posed a near fatal shock to my mother.I couldn’t imagine how much of torture my mother must have suffered at their stained hands all week.

She just agonized in silence.As a normal person, just the sight of that evil duo would upset me emotionally.I couldn’t imagine what my mother had to endure when Libby and Jane confronted her.

At my father’s funeral, many dirty facts came to light that shocked my mother and me.

Many matters that I couldn’t figure out earlier, suddenly fell into place with their revelation I was wearing my heart on my sleeve, exposed to the blistering sun.It hurt pretty badly and I had no way of cooling it.

When my mother was faced with the truth of my father’s betrayal, she was devastated.She had loved my father so much and never had an inkling of his betrayal during their time together.She suffered more mental anguish than me.

I couldn’t imagine how much my mother must have suffered when Libby and Jane suddenly appeared in front of her out of thin air.
