Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Chapter 67

"It wasn’t her, Mom. Just stop asking!" Nina Walsh said, exasperated.

But Mindy Walsh wasn’t listening. She just shouted loudly toward the master bedroom, "Caleb Summers! Caleb Summers! Caleb Summers, get over here!"

"What is it? What’s wrong?" Caleb Summers rushed out of the bedroom, asking in confusion.

Mindy Walsh presented Nina Walsh’s red, swollen, and scraped face for him to see. "Look at your daughter’s face!" she said angrily. "Look what your niece did to her! She was so vicious. We have to call the police and have her arrested!"

Caleb Summers froze. "Melody? Why would she hit Nina?"

"It wasn’t her! Ugh! Just stop asking!" Nina Walsh was frantic. All she wanted was to put this whole thing to rest.

She’d been a good girl her whole life, and Mindy Walsh had always been very strict with her. She was terrified of this blowing up. If it did, the fact that she had tried to trick Melody Summers and gotten involved with criminals would all come out.

Mindy Walsh said skeptically, "Is that so? Then why don’t you tell me what really happened? Who hit you?"

Nina Walsh stammered, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Mindy Walsh became even more certain that Melody Summers was the culprit. She grabbed her bag and headed for the door, grumbling, "No, I have to go to Melody Summers’s house and demand an explanation. What gives her the right to lay a hand on my daughter! If she doesn’t give me a proper answer, I’m calling the police!"

"Argh! Mom!" Nina Walsh screamed. "I already told you, it really wasn’t her! Just leave it alone!"

Nina Walsh’s heart was pounding. She was panicked and angry. ’If Mom keeps this up,’ she thought, ’she’s going to drag me into an even deeper mess.’

But Mindy Walsh was adamant. "No. If you don’t explain, I’m going."

Mindy Walsh had a strong need to control Nina Walsh. After all, she only had one daughter. She couldn’t possibly let it go after her daughter had been slapped for no reason.

Nina Walsh’s mind was a complete mess. She was already in turmoil, and now with Mindy Walsh causing such a scene, she felt like she was being driven mad. She clutched her head and screamed, "AHH—! Are you trying to kill me?! I told you it has nothing to do with her! I forbid you from going to her!"

Mindy Walsh stared at Nina Walsh’s hysterical state, frozen and at a loss. She asked hesitantly, "Then tell me, what happened to you? If you don’t say anything, Mommy will have no choice but to go ask at Melody Summers’s house."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Nina Walsh ran straight to the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, and shrieked, "If you dare go, I’ll kill myself right in front of you!"

Seeing this, Caleb Summers hurried over to mediate. "Alright, alright. She already said it has nothing to do with Melody. Stop making a fuss."

Caleb Summers quickly snatched the cleaver from Nina Walsh’s hand and gently comforted her.

Mindy Walsh never expected her usually obedient daughter to threaten her with a knife. She was frightened, but her daughter’s extreme reaction only made her feel that something was even more wrong. She murmured, at a loss, "But..."

Caleb Summers quickly shot her a look. "That’s enough! Are you really trying to drive your daughter crazy?"

Hearing this, Mindy Walsh lowered her head and fell silent.

Caleb Summers helped Nina Walsh back to her room, gently soothing her and repeatedly promising that he wouldn’t let Mindy Walsh go bother Melody Summers.

Nina Walsh’s heart still felt like it was being twisted by a knife. She regretted going with Wendy Sheffield to meet those two friends, she regretted sending that message to Melody Summers, and she especially regretted mentioning Melody Summers’s name just now.

Her thoughts in a jumble, she pulled the covers over her head and began to cry silently.

"What on earth happened to her to make her like this?" Mindy Walsh paced back and forth in the living room, fraught with anxiety. "You still have to sneak over to the Summers family and get the story straight from Melody Summers!"

"That’s enough!" Caleb Summers said, annoyed. He was fed up with his wife’s one-track mind. "Stop pushing our daughter. The world is so unstable right now, do you really have to go looking for trouble?"

Mindy Walsh’s eyes went wide. In disbelief, she said, "Caleb Summers, you’ve grown some backbone, have you! How dare you talk to me like that?!"

Caleb Summers pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration and snorted, "You’re the one stirring up all this drama in our family day after day. If you don’t want to live this life anymore, then don’t."

Mindy Walsh trembled with anger. She pointed a shaking finger at Caleb Summers and said, "Fine, fine! You and your daughter both despise me. I’m going back to my parents’ house right now!"
