The two stared at the photo for a while. After Sharlene accepted it, Lea told her more in a gentle and comforting tone, “He grew up in a happy family. His family loves him deeply. He’s outstanding. He’s a genius.”

Sharlene’s tears fell on the phone screen.

She hurriedly wiped them with her hand, but the photo on the screen became blurry. Sharlene immediately picked up the phone and wiped it on her chest.

Then, she stared blankly at the phone.

“Also, the child you wanted to protect has grown up safely. She’s doing well now.” As she said, tears welled up in Lea’s eyes.

Sharlene suddenly turned her head at Lea. She retreated warily and leaned against the wall with the phone.

“Do you want to see your son? He’d love to see you. He’d like to see his mother,” asked Lea.

“Yes!” Sharlene leaned closer to Lea and grabbed Lea’s hand. Her hoarse voice was anxious, but soon, she shrank back and kept shaking her head.

, She could not let her son see her like this. She was a lunatic.

Her son would be sad to see her.

“Okay, let’s drop it. When you’re better and want to see him, I’ll bring him to you,” Lea said.

Lea accompanied Sharlene for more than an hour. Sharlene was vigilant and did not chat much, so Lea just stayed by her side.

It was not until it was dark and Sharlene was tired that Lea left after coaxing her to sleep.

Sharlene could be considered the daughter–in–law of the Berry family.

They wanted to wait outside the ward but worried they would agitate Sharlene.

Lea had taken so long before coming out. Everyone let out a sigh of relief and held their breaths again.

“Her rationality is still there. She still has some memories. She’s curable,” Lea told them.

The rest of the people were relieved.

Sydney’s and Marcus’s eyes were filled with tears.

“I want to see her…” Ivan choked. He lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes.

Knowing that he had such a mother, he was shocked. At the same time, he thought of her experience and was sorry for her. Now, he only wanted to see her, although people said Sharlene was a bad woman and a lunatic with an antisocial personality.

Lea shook her head. “She doesn’t feel safe and is vigilant. She doesn’t want to see anyone now. I’ll treat her for some time.”

Her words reassured the others.

From that day on, Lea took time to accompany Sharlene every day. Lea told Sharlene stories and showed videos of her son growing up.

The Alvarez family provided the photos and videos.

Ivan, Willow, and Lorenzo had a lot of photos and videos since they were young. Sydney even told Lea a lot of interesting things about Ivan years old. Lea memorized them and told Sharlene.

A week later, Lea went to have breakfast with Sharlene,

“I’d like to meet him.” Lea heard Sharlene say as soon as she entered the ward.

Lea was delighted. “Alright, I’ll go get him now.”

“No, don’t… Sharlene said in a panic and tidied her hair. “I… Is this okay?”

Lea chuckled and came forward to help Sharlene stand in front of the mirror. “Let me help you dress up.”

She had brought a lot of clothes for Sharlene. It was already spring, so Lea chose a light blue top and white wide–legged pants for her. Then, Lea tied Sharlene’s hair behind her head.

Lea was amazed to see the new Sharlene in the mirror.

Sharlene was beautiful, the eye–catching kind. After dressing up, her gorgeousness reappeared.

Lea could tell what a good–looker Sharlene was when she was young and not diagnosed as a lunatic. Sharlene was an all–rounded genius.

Lea seemed to see from Sharlene that era where geniuses gathered and were in their prime, pushing the world to develop.

“Sharlene, you’re so beautiful, do you know that? Your son looks like you,” said Lea.

Ivan’s stunning eyes were inherited from Sharlene.

Sharlene whirled back around and looked at Lea. “I know. You–you’re Jacqueline. You’re Jacqueline!”

Sharlene suddenly hugged Lea and cried bitterly.

Lea was shocked. ‘Do I look like Jacqueline?‘ she wondered.

They had not found anything about Jacqueline. She only existed in the memories of these few people.

Lea was at a loss for a while before comforting Sharlene again. Sharlene finally calmed down.

Lea then went out and called Ivan in.

Ivan had been waiting outside. In fact, whenever Lea came to see Sharlene recently, he would follow.

When he heard Sharlene was willing to see him, Ivan immediately tidied his clothes.

He was wearing a white shirt and a beige knitted vest. His hair had also been cut short. He looked decent and younger, like a big child.

Ivan had thought of many things to talk to Sharlene about but forgot them all when he entered and saw Sharlene.

“Mom-” He lunged for Sharlene.

Sharlene was stunned. She opened her arms and embraced her child.

The mother and son hugged each other and cried.

Lea looked at the door for a moment before turning around and leaving. She gently closed the door.

About an hour later, Ivan came out of the ward. His eyes were red from crying, but he wore a warm smile, like a child who had just reunited with his mother.

“Ivan, I’m sorry,” Lea said earnestly with reddened eyes.

Since she took Sharlene out of the mental hospital, she had wanted to apologize to Ivan.

separation from his mother. He would not have been assassinated,

If it were not for Lea, perhaps Ivan would not have had to experience the sepat changed his appearance, and lived in the dark.

In short, everything that had happened to Ivan was related to her.

Ivan was confounded. It took him a moment to react.

Lea had always been rude to him. It was too surprising for Ivan that Lea would

apologize

He shook his head. “Lea, did you know? Some people’s fates are born intertwined, just like yours and mine. I’m the one who should thank you. If you hadn’t been so brilliant, I’d be dead, and my mother would never have been rescued.”

His words surprised Lea. She revealed a smile.

The current Ivan was different from the one he had been. Ivan was now polite and considerate.
