Chapter 1165


    Linda quickly realized that someone must have treated her daughter with such gentle care, and she


    suspected it was her adoptive mother.


    Conflicting emotions welled up within Linda, a mixture of gratitude and a secret hope that the family


    had been unkind to Lina. Linda wanted her daughter toe back to her without hesitation, to call her


    “mom” without reservation.


    Linda took a deep breath, trembling with fear at her own dark thoughts. She struggled to speak, her


    voice trembling. “Pammy… You should go now… I need to rest.”


    Lina froze momentarily, then carefully helped Linda onto the bed, tucking her in and recing her


    slippers withfortable silk ones. She smiled through teary eyes and gently reminded her, “I’ll be


    back when it’s time for your medicine! And I’ll give you a special reward if you get the window count


    right!”


    With a teary smile, Linda asked, her voice choked with emotion, “Will I really get better?”


    “Dr. Ivy said you will, without a doubt.”


    “Pammy…” Linda reached out and grasped her daughter’s hands tightly.


    Lina’s heart tightened at the sight of Linda’s frail and cold hands. “Don’t worry,” she said softly, her


    smileforting. “You will get better, I promise.”


    Linda soon fell asleep, but her rest was troubled by nightmares and cold sweats. Worried, Lina asked


    Aunt Evelyn to keep an eye on her while she went to the kitchen to bake.Books Chapters Are Daily

    Making even the simplest cake required great effort, but Lina managed to bake a small one ording


    to the recipe. With a sigh of relief, she put the cakes in the oven and wiped the sweat from her


    forehead, feeling a sense of aplishment.


    The aroma of butter soon filled the kitchen. Lina made two cakes, one for Linda and the other for


    Melissa. Just as she was about to call Melissa, she noticed someone standing at the kitchen door.


    Startled, she turned her head and found Nichs looking at her with gentle eyes.


    “Um…” He hesitated for a moment before addressing her as Lina. “I’m sorry… Did I startle you by


    standing here?”


    Lina smiled and shook her head.


    Nichs held the model she had made in his hands, ovee with emotion and struggling to find the


    right words. All he managed was a silly smile.


    “Did you give this to your mother?” he asked.


    Lina nodded. “Mm-hmm.”


    “And the cake too?”


    Lina surprised him by handing him a piece of cake with a smile. “Try it!”


    His eyes widened, and he straightened up, nervously wiping his hands on his clothes before epting


    the cake with utmost seriousness.


    “Mmph, delicious… So delicious!” he eximed, choking up a little.
