A gust of autumn wind blew, and the leaves by the roadside fluttered down.


    Freya sat on top of Getty,pletely stunned. She stared at the nearly lifeless Getty beneath her, her blurred vision showing a constantly changing expression. In just two seconds, her gaze shifted from madness and ferocity to bewilderment and disbelief.


    She slowly turned her head and met Peanut''s clear eyes.


    Peanut''s fingers tightened, gradually gripping her sleeve. His lips moved, and he said again, "Mom."


    Freya''s fingers, which were gripping Getty''s neck, slowly loosened, and the blood on the back of her hand dripped down her fingertips.


    "What did you call me?" Freya asked, staring at Peanut in disbelief.


    For half a year, the word she taught Peanut the most was "Mom." She used all her strength, wanting to hear him call her mom.


    However, he always gazed at her nkly, his mouth slightly agape, but unable to utter the word, as if he didn''t know how to pronounce it.


    But now, in this scene, she heard the long-awaited call.


    Her vision blurred with tears, which trickled down her cheeks. She tried to hold them back, but under Peanut''s gaze, she failed and cried uncontrobly. Getty regained her strength and used all her might to push her away.


    "You''re crazy, a lunatic. You''re dead!" Getty cursed as she ran towards the car, both angry and scared.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Freya sat on the ground like a rag doll, crying uncontrobly.


    She sobbed, doubled over, sprawled on the ground, tears flowing freely, the sound almost resemblingughter.


    Peanut crouched in front of her, mimicking the way she usuallyforted him, clumsily running his hand through her hair.


    Her cries echoed on the tree-lined path, perhaps because it was too quiet, sounding very clear and somewhat eerie.


    She had clearly wanted to perish together with Getty, had mustered the courage to leave this world, but Peanut''s call pulled her back from the brink of despair. Clearly, if she died, she wouldn''t have to worry about anything.


    However, seeing the innocence in Peanut''s eyes, she softened. As a mother, she couldn''t leave her child to suffer alone in the world or bring herself to die with him. Freya was both broken and desperate, desperate about the unknown and bleak future.


    Getty ran away but came back with the police.


    Freya and Peanut were taken to the police station. The police reviewed the surveince footage. Although Getty had struck first, Freya was suspected of attempted murder. Peanut was innocent. Freya was to be detained, and the police asked her to contact her family.


    When Freya heard the word "family," a bitter, self-mocking smile appeared on her face.


    Did Getty count as her family?


    But she didn''t dare to leave Peanut with Getty.


    She could only say she had no family.


    The police had no choice but to check her records and found Walter. They couldn''t reach Walter by phone, so they contacted Quinn''spany.


    Quinn found out about it the next morning when she arrived at the office.


    She was a bit surprised. How did Getty and Freya end up at the police station?


    The police asked her to notify Walter to pick up Peanut, but Walter hadn''te to work today. It was unclear whether he drank too muchst night or was too angry toe. Quinn asked Kyle to call Walter.


    Walter didn''t answer..


    "Where does he live?" Quinn asked.


    Kyle shook his head, indicating he didn''t know either.


    Suddenly, Quinn thought of something. She turned and walked out of the office, driving herself to find Walter.


    She arrived at the gate of a vi. She had been here before; Walter had brought her here once.


    She pressed the doorbell at the gate.
