Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 978

“And you’ve never doubted him before?”

Cathy was stunned. Her eyes were dazed and confused.

“Why should I doubt him? Sean treats me very well and is the person who treats me the best in this world. I can’t doubt him.”

Her innocent and naive experience gave Nell a bit of a headache.

She sighed helplessly. “Well, even if that’s the case, why do you want to avoid me? Don’t tell me that it’s not because of me that you’re in a hurry to leave.”

Cathy wrung her fingers nervously as if her carefully hidden lie had been caught and exposed.

“I… I didn’t mean to hide from you either. I was just afraid…”

“Afraid?” Nell raised her eyebrows. “What are you afraid of?”

“I…” She suddenly panicked and looked around, as if searching for something.

Nell knew that she was looking for Sean Miller.

It was as if that man was now her anchor and could not leave her line of sight, otherwise she would grow inexplicably anxious.

Although Nell was not a doctor, she had some knowledge about psychology.

She found that Cathy’s current situation was very much like a kind of traumatic stress reaction.

Cathy had been deeply hurt, the person she trusted the most had betrayed her and wanted her dead.

Therefore, she was terrified and upset. Even though she lost all her memories since waking up, the subconscious fear still remained deep in her.

The person who saved her was Sean Miller.

Like a drowning person who suddenly grasped a lifeline, she regarded him as the only sunshine in her life and clung to him, refusing to let go.

Everything around her was strange and unsettling. Only Sean, the man who saved her, had her trust and reliance.

Nell was suddenly relieved.

In that case, what was she upset about?

As Gideon said, it was already a gift from heaven that Cathy survived such a big accident.

What Nell needed was not to blame and complain, but to cherish and love her, to make up for the ten years they did not have a chance to spend together.

At that thought, Nell’s lips pulled up in a smile.

“Well, you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to.”

She paused and asked cautiously. “Can I… come closer to you?”

Cathy froze and looked up at her blankly.

Nell took careful steps forward. “Don’t be scared. I’m your daughter, your family. I won’t hurt you. Just like your Sean does, we all love you very much, so please don’t worry. I just miss you so much and want to be close to you. Don’t hide from me, okay?”

Cathy stared at her, but perhaps because she understood Nell’s words, although her body was still visibly tense, she continued to stand still.

Nell finally walked up to her.

She stretched out her arms to circle Cathy’s shoulders, and embraced her.

“Mom.”

The single word already caused tears to overflow from her eyes.
