You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 601 Selfish Woman

"And also," Madison paused, glanced at Riley, and continued, "Miss Young became like this because of the lilac pollen. The person who tampered with her medication might think, if I consume too much lilac pollen or come into frequent contact with it, will I also become like her?"

"No, we can't call the police." Lydia firmly opposed it. "This is such a trivial matter; how can we call the police? We will be ridiculed."

"Mom, what did you say?" Riley looked at her incredulously. "Did you say this is a trivial matter? How can this be a trivial matter? My face is so ugly that I dare not even go out. I can't eat or sleep. I have lost more than 45 pounds in a month. I even have thoughts of dying. How can you say this is a trivial matter?"

"It's just an allergy; it's not that serious," Lydia said angrily. "You have been spoiled by me since you were young. It's just an allergy, but you are blowing it out of proportion. A few bumps on your face won't affect your eating or sleeping. Just take some medication for a few more days, and you will be fine. It's not as serious as you claim." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mom, look at my face. Are there just a few bumps?" Riley's eyes turned red with anger as she took off her mask. "Mom, take a good look at what has happened to my face. I feel disgusted when I look at it myself. How can I go out and see people? I have taken so much medication, but it keeps coming back. I don't know when it will end. I am desperate. Sometimes I wish I could just die."

"You are exaggerating," Lydia said discontentedly. "It's just an allergy. Have you ever heard of anyone dying from an allergy? And now that we have found the problem, you should stop taking these capsules and seek proper treatment. You will recover soon."

"Maybe not," Martin said slowly. "We have found the capsules with issues, but we haven't found the person with issues. This time, the pollen was mixed in the capsules, but next time, it might be mixed in

something else. Only by finding the person who tampered with the capsules can we solve the problem at its root."

"What are you talking about?" Lydia looked at him and said sternly, "This is our family matter. We don't need your interference. Please leave immediately."

Martin clicked his tongue and looked at Derek. "Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you?"

"Sorry," Derek apologized to him, and he looked at Lydia with cold eyes. "Mom, you are our biological mother. Why aren't you angry or resentful when you found out that someone intentionally harmed Riley and caused her to be in this state?"

"I…" Flustered, Lydia pinched her fingers and forced herself to remain calm. "How could I not be angry? It's just that your words scared me. Our Lynch Family is respectable. How can we easily report it to the police? If it gets out, we will be ridiculed."
