A shiver ran up Lydia's spine, leaving her limbs cold and trembling.

She stared at Riley in disbelief, as if she didn't recognize her daughter.

In her mind, Riley had always been a gentle and obedient girl, as pliable as dough, never showing any temper.

How could her own daughter harm her?

Everything Lydia did was for Riley, for the sake of their family.

She believed that her actions were flawless. She never imagined that anyone would be the reason Riley's allergies were acting up.

Even if someone did discover the truth, she was confident.

After all, she was Riley's biological mother.

And Riley was kind-hearted and easy-going.

She had thought that if Riley found out the truth, she would cry and get angry. But she believed that with Riley's personality, as long as she comforted and patiently explained, she would understand and forgive her.

She never expected Riley to utter such words.

She stared at Riley in shock as if she didn't recognize her. After a long silence, she shakily retorted, "You're insane... You're insane! I am your biological mother. You can't treat me like this... You can't!"

"You're the one who's insane, not me." Riley shuddered at the thought of her own appearance caused by her biological mother. "You don't deserve to be my mother. You...you're heartless. I don't have a mother like you."

Riley's heart was filled with hatred as she recalled the suffering and despair she had endured these days.

If it was someone else instead of Lydia who had done all this, Riley would even wish to perish with that person.

However, this was Lydia, her biological mother. Riley couldn't possibly do something like that.

Yet, her hatred for her mother grew stronger.

She couldn't comprehend how such a heartless person could exist.
