After Freya called out to her mother, she remained silent for a long time.

Every time she came to visit her mother, the memories of that year would flood into her mind like a nightmare.

She could never forget the way her mother died.

It was like a deeply rooted seed that would break through the ground as soon as it started to sprout. She knew that she could never get over this hurdle in her life. After all, the scene at that time was too tragic.

No matter who it was, they couldn't just watch their beloved mother close her eyes in front of them forever.

Bradley understood her feelings and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

Freya turned her head to look at him and gave him a faint smile that said "I'm okay".

Then, she opened the household registration book and showed it to Bai Zhilan. "Mom, look. I've changed my surname. From now on, I'm just your daughter."

The mother in the black-and-white photo had a bright and beautiful smile on her face, as if she was happy for Freya.

Freya's slender fingers gently caressed her mother's face, as if she could still feel her mother's warmth. However, the cold and hard gravestone sent a chill from her fingertips into her blood vessels, and finally spread to her heart.

The sadness in her eyes quickly disappeared. Her fingers slowly loosened and finally curled into a fist. Even her voice became a bit colder. "I already know who the real murderer is who killed you. When I find her, I will definitely make her pay for her crimes with blood."

Even though the queen had changed her name and appearance through plastic surgery, Freya would never give up.

At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair sliding suddenly came from the bluestone path behind them.

Freya turned around and vaguely saw several dark figures through the haze. Even though she couldn't see clearly, she could tell that the woman in the wheelchair was Jiang Xiuzhen.

The person pushing her was the director of the psychiatric hospital, and two police officers with stun guns were following behind.

Because Jiang Xiuzhen's mental state was unstable and she was a special prisoner, the police would follow her around the clock wherever she went.

However, why was Jiang Xiuzhen here today?

When the group approached, Freya asked seriously, "Director, what do you mean by this?"

This was her mother's cemetery, and she didn't want a woman like Jiang Xiuzhen, who had committed so many evil deeds, to appear in front of her mother and desecrate this peaceful place.

The director first let out a sigh and then explained, "The patient's mental state has fluctuated greatly recently. She keeps muttering the name Bai Zhilan, and she even tried to harm herself. At night, she keeps crying and making a fuss. I had no choice but to ask someone to investigate the identity of Bai Zhilan and found out that she was a deceased person. So I thought of bringing the patient here to have a look, which might be good for her condition. I just didn't expect to run into Miss Xia."

"I've changed my surname. I'm now surnamed Bai."

Hearing the surname "Xia" mentioned by others again, Freya felt very uncomfortable.

The director was taken aback for a moment but quickly reacted. She asked tentatively, "Then this Mrs. Bai, is she your..."

"She's my mother!"

Before the director could finish, Freya interrupted her directly.

The director suddenly understood and quickly realized that she had come to the wrong place.

Although she didn't know what had happened between them, judging from the look of hatred on Freya's face when she saw Jiang Xiuzhen before, the director, even if she wasn't very perceptive, knew that their relationship wasn't good.

Moreover, Freya's cold expression when she saw Jiang Xiuzhen this time further confirmed what the director thought.

"If Miss Bai doesn't want to see the patient, I'll send her back right away," the director said and turned to push Jiang Xiuzhen away.

"Wait a minute," Freya called out to the director. "Since she's here, let her kowtow to my mother. After all, she did so many dirty things back then, and this grudge hasn't been settled yet."

When she exposed Jiang Xiuzhen's true face before, she had brought Jiang Xiuzhen and Bruce here to kowtow and apologize, but that was far from enough.

The pain her mother endured couldn't be ended with just a simple apology.

Since Jiang Xiuzhen still couldn't forget her mother, let her meet her mother up close.

Freya stood up and walked closer, motioning for the director to step aside. She was about to push the wheelchair, but unexpectedly, the police officer who had been standing beside them without saying a word suddenly spoke up. "Miss Bai, the patient's mental state is unstable. It's better for you not to get too close, in case you get hurt unnecessarily."

Hearing this, Freya took a good look at Jiang Xiuzhen.

During this period, she had only learned about Jiang Xiuzhen's situation from the director's phone calls. Freya had no idea about Jiang Xiuzhen's changes.

When she saw her now, she was still shocked.

The woman in front of her was no longer the glamorous person she used to be.

Now sitting in the wheelchair, she was sallow and emaciated, with sunken eyes, looking like a skeleton.

With her messy and graying hair and wrinkled hands, she hung her head, her eyes motionless, looking dull and lifeless.

If it weren't for her breathing, Freya would have thought she wasn't alive.

Perhaps because of Freya's gaze, the dull woman's eyes suddenly moved and she opened her eyelids with difficulty to look at Freya.

Then, she gave Freya a silly smile.

But after the smile, her emotions suddenly became very agitated. She stretched out her skinny hands and flailed them in the air, while muttering non-stop.

"Bai Zhilan, you're already dead. Don't come looking for me anymore."

"Ahhh, go away. Don't grab me."

She started to choke herself, and her already ugly face turned livid.

The police were worried that the prisoner would strangle herself, so they quickly stepped forward to control her. But unexpectedly, she pointed at Freya and roared, "I'm going to kill you. As long as you're dead, no one will be able to compete with me anymore. Everything in the Lawson family will be mine."

Jiang Xiuzhen was talking nonsense in a delirious state, and she had a lot of strength when she went crazy. It took two police officers a great deal of effort to control her.

The director saw this and let out another sigh. "She's like this every day. I'm worried that if this goes on, her mental state won't be able to take it, and she might even lose her life."

Freya, however, had no pity at all. She said coldly, "If it weren't for me letting her live, she would have died long ago."

She was the one who performed Jiang Xiuzhen's cancer surgery. It wasn't that she felt sorry for this woman, but she wanted to keep her alive to suffer from the pain of the illness day and night, making her life a living hell.

Now it seemed that the day when Jiang Xiuzhen would suffer was not far off.

She wouldn't kill Jiang Xiuzhen but would let this woman be tormented by her guilt and die in pain little by little.

Let her know that she had to bear the consequences of what she had done.

Her mother had endured so much suffering. If she didn't make Jiang Xiuzhen pay for it, wouldn't it be too easy for her?

"The patient needs to be given a sedative immediately. Miss Bai, we have to send her back now," said the director, a responsible woman, and quickly pushed Jiang Xiuzhen away.
