After I got home, I told my mother that David had gone to the countryside to hide and we would just have to wait for him to contact us.

My mother believed what I said without a doubt.

She urged me to borrow money every day and wanted to go home as soon as possible.

I could only find various excuses to procrastinate.

But what I didn't expect was that our life was interrupted before it lasted for five days.

The police came to the door.

It was David who called the police.

He said that he had not been able to contact his wife for a long time and suspected that she had been illegally detained by me.

I didn't expect him to call the police.

My plans were disrupted unexpectedly.

I had no time to care about the disappointed look in my mother's eyes when she looked at me. I could only explain to the police first.

After the police left, I decided to confess to my mother.

Of course, I lied to her that I had a dream.

I told her all about the tragic experiences I had in my past life.

I didn't expect her to believe me.

But she believed what I said and looked at me with eyes full of sympathy.

She even stood up angrily, shouting that she wanted to fight David.

Seeing her subconscious reaction, I couldn't control myself anymore and burst into tears.

She actually trusted me unconditionally.

She hugged me with concern as I cried, and at the same time, her voice rang in my ears.

It made me feel like I was falling into an ice cellar in an instant.

She said, "I believe in you."

But she was thinking, "I have to find her savings card and go back to save David."

Her tears fell on the back of my hand, burning my heart.

I choked up and asked her, "Mom, do you love me?"

She touched my hair, didn't say anything, but nodded.

But I heard what she was thinking.

"I love you, but Dora, you can never compare to Chad.

"I'm sorry. Chad can't live without his father. Will you forgive..."

I gently pushed her away and got up to get a tissue.

I didn't want to hear it anymore.

I had understood that she loved me, but she didn't love me the most.

So, I could be abandoned and deceived.

I wiped away my tears, smiled and pushed her to wash up.

As for acting, I could do it too.

While she was sleeping, I installed the mini camera I bought earlier at home.

Sure enough, as soon as I left the house, she started searching everywhere.

Watching her busy figure on the surveillance camera, I felt surprisingly calm.
