Chapter 973 Initially, she wanted to ask who else was in her family, but Adeena recalled what the
onlookers had said about how the girl might not have a mother, so she did not ask anymore. Melody
stared at her with sparkling eyes. “Mommy, are you from Cloud City?” Adeena could not help but smile.
“Just call me Aunt Deena, not Mommy. I really don‘t have a daughter as old as you.”
These words almost made Melody cry.
This person before her eyes clearly had her mommy‘s appearance. But when she looked closely, there
were some differences.
Had she made a mistake?
No, she would never mistake her mommy.
“You are my mommy,” Melody said stubbornly with tears in her eyes. “Daddy has been searching for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou for four years, Mommy. Where have you been all these years?” Adeena was startled. “Your
mommy disappeared four years ago?” Melody nodded. “Mommy left in the middle of the night and
never returned. You don‘t remember what happened that day?” An ordinary night had become an
unspeakable nightmare for the five members of the Winters family...
“I remember things from three years ago. Everything before that has been forgotten.” Adeena gazed at
her warmly. “But I‘m quite sure I don‘t have a daughter as old as you.” Her child should be three or four
years old, and must be living well in some corner of the world
When she thought of her child, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Melody was shocked. Her mommy had amnesia! She had forgotten everything in the past! ‘No wonder
Mommy doesn‘t recognize me!” Melody gripped Adeena‘s hand tightly. Her voice trembled as she
choked out, “Mommy, you‘re Mommy, you definitely are...”
Adeena‘s heart melted into a puddle.
She did not correct the little girl, but she softly asked, “How old are you?” “I‘ll be nine in a few months.”
Melody gazed longingly at the face in front of her. “Mommy, come home with me, please?”
Adeena pulled her hand from her grip. Melody thought she was going to leave again. In a panic, she
grabbed Adeena‘s hand again,
but accidentally knocked over the spaghetti on the table. The sauce–coated noodles fell onto Adeena‘s
snow–white skirt. It was a huge mess. Melody froze.
Fragments of what happened four years ago flashed through her mind. ‘Hal stepping on Mommy‘s
shoes, Hal knocking over the cake onto Mommy‘s clothes… Back then, Mommy got angry!‘ “I‘m sorry, I
didn‘t mean to do that!” Melody apologized, a little scared. “I‘ll help you wipe it off, Mommy.”
She hurriedly pulled out a napkin. Some fear had emerged on her once cold countenance.
She kneeled on one knee on the floor and wiped Adeena‘s skirt with trembling hands.
“It‘s just dirty, that‘s all.” Adeena helped her up. “I’ll just go home and change into a new skirt. You don‘t
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhave to be afraid. I won‘t get mad.”
Melody looked up, and her lips trembled. “Mommy, you really don‘t blame me?” “A dirty skirt can be
washed clean. Why would I blame you?” Adeena pushed her back into her chair. “Didn‘t you say you
were hungry? Go ahead and eat.”
Melody sat down in a daze.
Her last impression of her mommy was that she had a bad temper. Even the slightest sound could set
her off.
Melody still remembered that night when her mommy disappeared. She had a nightmare back then.
She had dreamed that her mommy was sleepwalking and standing in front of Hal‘s bed with a fruit
knife. Just a little bit more and Hal would have been stabbed by her mommy... Back then, Mommy was
like a bomb that could go off at any second. During that time, she and her brothers had been terrified
for days.
