I sat up and had a headache. I touched it and it bled!
“Mom!” Lester saw me fall and ran right over.
Hearing Lester’s voice, Margaret suddenly stopped. She turned to see Lester and came up to Lester.
Lester ran to me. She looked up and saw Margaret coming to me. He opened his arms and said, “don’t come here. I won’t let you hurt my mom!”
Margaret looked at Lester and her eyes were crazy. I was terrified to see her like this.
I was afraid she would lose control and hurt Lester.
After all, she had great strength. I couldn’t resist the push just now.
If she hit Lester, he...
I quickly held Lester in my arms. I looked up at Margaret and said, “Aunt Moore, calm down! I’m your daughter. Lester is your grandson. You can’t hurt him!”
Hearing what I said, Margaret suddenly stopped.
She looked at us both and said, “daughter? Grandson?”
I regretted it when I finished. She may not accept what I said now.
Lester stood there and didn’t talk.
At this time, Murray finally came out of the house. He looked at us and frowned, “what’s the matter? I just took a nap.”
“Grandpa Moore! She hit my mother!” Lester immediately ran to Murray.
“What’s the matter?” Murray asked.
At this time, the servant who was chased by Margaret said, “I asked for leave to go home the other day. I saw two dolls when I got here today. I thought someone had misplaced them...”
When it came to the dolls, Murray understood, “where are the dolls?”
“They’re in Master Lester’s room.” The servant seemed to respond and immediately said, “I’m going to get them!”
After the servant left, Murray went to Margaret and said, “the servant did something wrong. She’ll bring them over for you later.”
But Margaret didn’t respond. She looked at me and said, “daughter.”
Murray looked at me.
I hesitated and took Margaret and said, “I’m Laura.”
“Laura?” Margaret looked at me and her eyes were dull.
I didn’t know if she believed or not.
“Yes, it’s me.” I hesitated and plucked up my courage and reached out. I hugged Margaret and said, “Mom, it’s really me. I’m Laura. I am your daughter.”
I didn’t have a mother when I was a child. Even though Margaret was delirious now, I would still like to call her Mom.
I hoped she would get better one day.
Margaret was staring at me. Her hands were in the air. I didn’t know what she was going to do.
After a long time, she suddenly said, “no, you’re not Laura. Laura and Lisa are dead.”
I didn’t expect Margaret to know!
I stood up straight and looked at Margaret. I was about to say something, but Margaret suddenly sat on the ground and muttered, “Laura and Lisa were taken and killed by them. They are bad people...”
Murray and I were standing there and didn’t know what to say.
Then Lester said, “no, my mother’s name is June. She’s Laura!”
Margaret looked up at Lester and shook her head. “No, she’s not Laura. Laura is dead.”
At this time, the servant brought the dolls.
Margaret took the two dolls and muttered, “Laura is dead. Lisa is dead, too. They are both dead...”
She said as she walked to the room.
The servant dared not follow her. Murray followed her in person.
I was a little scared of Margaret hurting Lester.
