Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 281

The crowd around couldn't believe their ears. "Good grief, is that even real?" someone exclaimed.

"Such a woman shouldn't be a mother. She deserves to face the music right now," another added, disgust dripping from their words.

In no time, people spat at her and hurled eggs, leaving Miranda in a pitiful state. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "She's my daughter! What I do with her is my business. You have no right to judge me!"

"Shameless!" someone shot back. "Just because she's your flesh and blood doesn't mean she's your property. You can't control her life like that."

"Must be rough having you as a mom," another chimed in.

Overwhelmed by the onslaught of insults, Miranda's bravado faltered. Her thick skin finally cracked, and she realized she had to swallow her pride and beg Lizzy for forgiveness.

However, when she tried to find Lizzy, she realized that Lizzy had vanished.

Panic surged through her. Without Lizzy, how would she get home? The thought of living as a beggar forever was unbearable.

The weather was turning nasty as autumn began to bow out to winter. Miranda had left the house dressed too lightly, and now the biting wind and cold drizzle seeped into her bones, making her shiver uncontrollably.

As she huddled for warmth, she quickly felt the gnawing pain of hunger.

The people around her mocked her with cold detachment. When someone showed a hint of compassion and offered her food, others quickly intervened. "Don't give her anything. She doesn't deserve it."

"She's a real piece of work for abusing her daughter and scheming with her husband to steal her daughter's kidney," someone remarked.
