Cordelia took the day off from work after submitting her article to take care of Xyla at home.

Even though Xyla had said that she did not need her care, she was still worried. She constantly remembered what the doctor had said. Mental illnesses were not produced in a day. She had to be careful and keep an eye out constantly.

“Mom, I’ll go do a bit of grocery shopping.” Cordelia looked at her watch. “Wait for me to come back and make lunch. Don’t go into the kitchen for nothing!”

Xyla grimaced. “Listen to yourself. What am I? Three?”

Cordelia grinned and turned back to hug her. “You have to be good anyway. No TV for you in the afternoon otherwise!”

Xyla was rendered speechless. Her daughter was really taking care of her like she was a child!

“Hmph! I think I need to get my son-in-law to teach you a lesson!”

The mother and daughter giggled together.

Cordelia was ready to leave, but an uninvited guest greeted her when she opened the door.

Janine wore a small smile and still exuded a strong presence. She explained softly, seeing that Cordelia was on guard against her, “I was very good friends with your mother in the past.”

Cordelia nodded in silence but still did not let her in.

Janine chuckled. ‘The princess is very alert. Hmm, that’s right! She should behave like this!’

“Child, I’m really good friends with her, best friends. We got distant over some misunderstandings.” Janine sounded sincere. “But please trust me. I absolutely have no intention of hurting her. I’m here specifically to visit her today.”
