That night, Rachel had a nightmare—about her mother dying of a serious illness, and she couldn't even say goodbye.

In fact, when she was awakened by the nightmare, she didn't even have a clear consciousness. She just drove back to Liu's house as if she was sleepwalking, and sat beside the sleeping Esther Li in a daze.

Maybe it was because Rachel's gaze was too hot, or maybe it was because Esther Li was sleeping very lightly, and Esther Li woke up with a start.

She vaguely saw a dark shadow in front of her bed, and she calmed down before screaming, "Who are you?"

She asked, while carefully keeping away from the black shadow, she groped to turn on the bedside lamp, and then she saw her daughter in pajamas with tears all over her face.

"Rachel." Esther called softly, glanced at her daughter quickly, and frowned when she saw that her daughter was fine, "What are you doing running back all of a sudden?"

She learned the news as soon as Liu Airen took her daughter in, and she also wanted to let her daughter calm down, so she didn't contact her daughter immediately.It's just that she didn't expect her daughter to come back in the middle of the night, and she even looked so embarrassed.

Rachel called her mother softly, then opened her arms slightly, pouted and said, "I'm scared."

Esther Lee thought of when her daughter was four or five years old. At that time, her daughter would break into her room when she had nightmares, spread her arms outstretched and pretend to be scared, and insisted on sleeping between her and her husband.

Esther Lee noticed that something was wrong with Rachel, she hesitated for a moment, smiled and patted the place beside her, "Come here, mommy."

Seeing her daughter climbed into bed to sleep beside her, Esther Li helped her pinch the corner of the quilt. As soon as she lay down, her daughter got into her arms, her hands still tightly clutching the collar of her pajamas.

Esther Li touched Rachel's hair gently, and patted her daughter's back hesitantly, "Go to sleep."

Rachel looked up at her mother's eyes, and slowly closed them according to her words.

Esther Li waited for the child to fall asleep, then quietly got up and picked up the phone to contact Liu Airen. Obviously, Liu Airen, who was still asleep, would not know why Rachel came home suddenly. It was not until Esther Li hung up the phone that he rubbed his hair in a daze, feeling a little frustrated. fell back on the bed.

But only for a moment, she immediately jumped up from the bed, turned on the light, and looked at the empty space around her and the slightly open door.

"Axi, you worrying girl, how did you run home!" She got up and locked the door, only to notice that the car keys on the locker were gone, "Ah! My car..."

Can the dead girl sleepwalking still drive?This skill is simply amazing.

When she woke up again, Rachel was still a little confused - when did she go home?And sleep in mom's room!

She sat up, looked at the gray sky outside the window, and vaguely remembered that she seemed to have had a terrible nightmare, and then?what happened?

"Now that you're up, let's go downstairs for dinner." Esther Li opened the door and said with a gentle smile.

Rachel hummed coldly, she put aside the fact that she unexpectedly returned to Liu's house for no reason, and was even more flustered by Esther Li's performance of ignoring her running away from home and even pretending nothing happened—she would rather her mother scold her.

The two had breakfast together for the first time since the Chinese New Year. Silence and coldness lingered on the dining table. Rachel felt unable to eat after taking a sip of milk.

Esther Li's eyes fell on her, and he frowned worriedly, "Rachel, do you...do you need a doctor?"

Rachel raised her eyebrows, looked lightly at the frowning mother, "Doctor? I'm fine, thank you for your concern." She hated this kind of false care.

Esther became even more nervous. Compared with her daughter's loss of control last night and today's calmness, she was even more prepared to send her daughter to see a psychiatrist. She organized her words in her mind and said slowly: "Mom and dad divorced, it's mom and dad You don't have to be too burdened with the problem."

"Oh." Rachel sneered, then restrained her smile and said in a cold voice: "It's really clear, but... I need to correct one point, I don't have a burden, and it's not me who should have a burden."

She stood up, "I've finished eating, please take it slowly."

"Stop!" Esther Li shouted to stop her daughter who had already turned around, and then said forcefully, "Whether you agree or not, you have to go see a doctor for me."

At this moment, she didn't have any appetite to eat any more, so she also stood up and went upstairs, "I have made an appointment for you, change your clothes." After walking two steps, she stood on the stairs and looked at her daughter downstairs, her voice was gentle After a few minutes, "I will accompany you."

Rachel sneered, "Thank you so much for your concern."

Few people can shake Esther Lee's decision, so Rachel finally changed her clothes and went with Esther Lee to the studio of the psychiatrist who had made an appointment in advance.

It wasn't until Rachel was sent to the treatment room that Esther Li slowly sat down on the sofa in the family waiting area as if she was collapsed. Perhaps because of hypoglycemia, she was a little dizzy, rarely gave up her posture, and relaxed on the sofa .

She never knew that her child had been under such great psychological pressure since she and her husband divorced, even to the point of last night.

Did she really do something wrong?

She asked herself this, but the moment she asked, she had already answered her own question, "I didn't do anything wrong."

Could it be that after the husband went bankrupt, it was the right decision to drag Rs along with him to be buried with him?A limb that has rotted and died should be cut off immediately even if it is extremely painful. Otherwise, do you want to wait for this rotten arm to become diseased and affect your life before regretting it?

At this moment, her phone rang, and she pulled herself together to take out her mobile phone. The caller was her marriage partner this time - the president of Five Star Electronics.

She paused, and finally got through the phone, "Hello...I can't accompany you to dinner today, sorry...it's about the child..."

The other end seemed to understand the basic situation, and was waiting for Esther to hang up the phone in a gentlemanly manner.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Our engagement... will be postponed for a while."

"What happened? The press release is already prepared, why delay it."

"President Park." Esther Lee used to like this kind of business-like attitude, but now she felt annoyed. She calmed down her breath and said lightly: "Why do you want me to explain more clearly? That day Who did President Park meet?"

She was talking about the fact that when she and President Park were in the middle of the banquet two days ago, President Park suddenly received a call and left halfway. She didn't even need to inquire about it, but she knew it from the mouths of those high-society ladies who gloated President Park's whereabouts. ——It was President Park's belated first love. After marrying Mrs. Park, who was well-matched, he met his first love and pursued that first love shamelessly, and even almost broke away from the family because of that first love.

Oh, although Mrs. Park let that first love go away to South Korea, she also divorced President Park, and that first love also came back at this time, and even had a few-year-old child by her side.

"Are you threatening me?" President Park said in a deep voice.

Esther Li leisurely looked at her fingers with pink nail polish on her knees, "Of course not, I hope President Park will clean up this matter, after all, President Park's mother really wants us to grow old forever. "

The other end was obviously very angry, and finally abandoned his demeanor and hung up the phone with a snap.

Esther raised the corners of her mouth gently, "First love? Really..."

She wanted to satirize President Park's ridiculous first love, but when she raised her eyes, she saw the still handsome man with rimless glasses.

——That belongs to her first love, Yin Zaihao.

Yin Zaihao didn't seem to expect that he could see his former lover here. His eyes were firmly attached to the still beautiful and compelling first love, and finally he slowly and gently looked away.

This is the studio of a famous psychiatrist in the Republic of Korea. Why does she come here?Is it because of too much pressure recently?

Yin Zaihao asked this in his heart, but immediately restrained himself from thinking about things related to her, turned around, walked back to the reception desk, and leaned gently on the reception desk.

The girl who received the reception seemed to have rarely seen such an elegant and handsome man. She secretly looked at Yin Zaihao with bright eyes, and said excitedly to Yin Zaihao until the phone rang: "Mr. Yin, Dr. Han invited you in."

"Thank you." Yin Zaihao nodded gently, seeing Esther Li stand up out of the corner of his eye, he heard his heart beating violently, and even his back was steaming.

However, Esther Li just walked to the door of the treatment room and greeted a girl with an indifferent but very weak face.

—that was her child.

His eyes and Esther Li's eyes touched each other lightly and then moved away. The two passed by, really like strangers.

"Mr. Yin, hello. I might trouble you to wait for me for a while." Physician Han gently closed the door while saying hello to him. The moment the door closed, he turned around and stared at Esther Li closely. back.

The woman is petite and exquisite, and it seems that she has not changed at all from ten years ago.
