She picked up the child and kissed Laetitia on the cheek.
Kendall was afraid that she would be too heavy for her, so he reached out his hand and said, “Let me carry you.”
Laetitia instantly hugged Anna tightly and said, “No, I want Mommy to hold hold me.”
Anna smiled, picked up the child and got into the car, saying to Kendall, “It’s okay, not heavy.”
Kendall shook her head indulgently with a smile, unable to resist them.
Laetitia was the child adopted by Anna.
Half a year ago, although Anna woke up, she still experienced several self–harming behaviors due to severe psychological trauma.
Kendall was afraid that she would get into trouble, so she rarely took the initiative to move in with her.
Two months ago, when Laetitia was at work, her parents abandoned her at the hospital because they couldn’t afford the expensive medical bills due to her congenital heart disease.
The child sat curled up in a chair at the hospital, crying so hard that his whole body was burning up. In a daze, he was still calling out “Mom, Dad“.
Anna, upon seeing it, shed tears of heartache.

After returning home, she hesitated for a long time before finally proposing the idea of adopting Laetitia to Kendall.
Kendall readily agreed and immediately took steps to complete the adoption process for her. She also paid for Laetitia’s heart transplant
surgery.
It was only from the day when Anna adopted Laetitia that she truly came alive, with a genuine smile appearing on her face.

Kendall drove the lot of groceries. Laetitia was holding a toy in her arms, just like a family of three, happily chatting and laughing as they returned home.
However, the moment she pushed open the door, Anna’s smile froze on her face.
The lights were not on in the room. A figure sat on the sofa, motionless, staring fixedly in the direction of the door.
At the moment he saw her, the man suddenly stood up.
It was Elijah.
He was wearing a black suit that was so big it looked a bit empty.
The whole person had become so thin that he was almost unrecognizable, like a walking skeleton.
The room was pitch black, Anna couldn’t see his expression clearly, but she still recognized him at a glance.
The gaze that fell on her was scorching as if it had substance.
How could… How could he have found his way here…

“Anna… you were alive… you are still alive…”
While Anna looked at him, he also stared at Anna intently.
As well as Kendall beside Anna and the child in her arms.
He didn’t expect that Anna was actually alive.
Not only did he not die, but he also ran away to a foreign country and stayed with Kendall.
Just as Elijah was about to speak out and lead the troops to investigate, Anna suddenly let out a painful and suppressed groan.
She seemed to be enduring great pain, her body convulsing uncontrollably.
Elijah was startled and rushed over to help her.
Kendall had already grabbed Anna in his arms and yelled at Elijah, “Get out! Stay away from her!”
After being held in Kendall’s arms, Anna’s body continued to convulse uncontrollably, staring at Elijah with a fixed gaze.
What came to mind were the scenes of my parents‘ tragic deaths, myself being hung by Elijah on the railing leading to a miscarriage, and being nailed with 999 nails at the Tremblay’s residence.
After she woke up from her fake death, she developed this condition.
Once the emotions become too intense, this kind of convulsive behavior will occur.
Sometimes, waking up from a nightmare can feel the same way.
Chapter 13
After adopting Laetitia, she had not done this for a long time.
Laetitia was scared and screamed while crying loudly on the side.
Kendall held Anna tightly, quickly calming her emotions: “Anna, calm down, take deep breaths, just breathe deeply first…”
Due to lack of oxygen, her face had turned slightly purple.
Kendall rushed to the medicine cabinet, grabbed the
oxygen tank inside,
and brought it to her mouth.
Anna trembled as she took a breath, but still passed out.
Elijah stood by and watched everything in front of him, feeling as if all the blood in his body had turned ice cold in an instant.
