Chapter 544


    Chapter 544 Your Biological Daughter Is Still Alive


    Over at the hospital, Nicole curled up on the bed in fear, quivering underneath a thick nket despite


    the scorching heat in June.


    She screamed at ire, the doctors, and the nurses around her to deter them from going anywhere


    near her.


    Some medical staff tried calming her down by giving her some tranquilizer, but the deranged woman


    was surprisingly strong, and they could not restrain her.


    Besides, they dared not be too forceful with her since she was the Lambert family''s daughter.


    ire cried her heart out in desperation, wondering how her sweet daughter ended up like that.


    From ire''s recollection, before Nicole went missing from the hospital, she had reminded her not to


    overwork herself when she returned to work at thepany. Nicole even promised them she would


    cook them a delicious meal after she was discharged from the hospital, seeing how worn out her


    parents were from caring for her.


    But in the end, she could not fulfill her promise.


    ire wiped away her tears and went close to Nicole''s bed. As she lifted the nket, she was met with


    her daughter''s fear-stricken face.


    “Argh, snakes! So many of them... Leave me alone... I won''t do it again...” she muttered, her eyes filled


    with panic.


    She stared nkly into the air as she shook incessantly, slowly inching to a corner of the bed in a ball


    until she could no longer move backward.


    “Don''t do this to me, Nickie. What happened to you? Don''t you know who I am? I''m your mother!” the


    miserable mother cried with her hand clenched on her chest. She could not believe her daughter did


    not recognize her.


    “Move... Go away!” Nicole shrieked in terror, still unable to remember anyone.


    Terrified, she held her head and kept screaming and crying.


    In her mind, she saw countless wriggling snakes crawling on her body and biting her. They were on her


    head, neck, and legs, choking and suffocating her.


    What drove her to a state of hopelessness was that some snakes with sickening colors were even


    sliding into her mouth and ears.


    The hour-long torture at the deserted factory seemed to have left her mentally wrecked.


    The horror the man had inflicted haunted her so severely that she believed she was still in the middle of


    a pool of snakes. She kept banging her head against the wall until blood flowed down from her


    forehead.


    “Nickie!” ire screamed in agony when she saw blood on her daughter. She attempted to hug Nicole


    to stop her from hurting herself, but Nicole pushed her away forcefully, throwing her backward.


    “Nickie!” ire screamed in agony when she saw blood on her daughter. She attempted to hug Nicole


    to stop her from hurting herself, but Nicole pushed her away forcefully, throwing her backward.


    She could have fallen on the ground if the doctors behind had not caught her in time.


    Given her condition, Nicole could not stand having anyone near her, not even the very woman who


    brought her up.


    “Mrs. Lambert, she''s not in her right mind now. It''s best that you keep a distance from her,” one of the


    doctors advised.


    Everyone felt sorry for ire. They had never seen the elegant andposed woman break down in


    tears.


    From how devastated she was, they could tell ire truly loved Nicole although she was adopted.


    Poised as she usually was, ire was nothing more than a hurting mother in their eyes at that


    moment.


    Suddenly, ire broke away from the doctors and pulled Nicole into her arms when thetter let down


    her guard. “I''m here, Nickie. I''ll always be here with you. Don''t do this!”


    Nicole''s cries grew sharper at ire''s touch. With her face wet with tears and eyes bloodshot, she hit


    and punched her mother, who was still clinging to her stubbornly.

    To Nicole, anything nearby was a threat since all she could see were horrifying snakes that terrorized


    her, but still, ire did not let go.


    No matter how harsh the beating was, ire refused to let go of her daughter even when her face was


    full of scratch marks and bruises from the punching.


    ire did not know and did not care what Nicole had gone through. Nothing would change the fact that


    Nicole was her daughter. She would always be the same endearing and understanding princess in her


    heart.


    Just then, William entered the room. Upon seeing ire getting beaten, he dashed over and pulled his


    wife away from Nicole.


    “What do you think you''re doing?” he asked, trying not to speak too harshly to the woman in his arms.


    “Don''t you know she has lost her senses? Why did you let her do that to you?”


    ire did not answer him but wept in his arms. “Honey... what happened to our daughter? I want to


    know what happened to her...”


    William swept his intimidating re across the room and questioned the staff, “Did you all seriously just


    watch my wife get beaten up? Do something! Give her some tranquilizers! So much for being


    professionals!”


    Faced with William''s rage, the doctor in charge quickly instructed several male doctors to rein in Nicole


    to sedate her.


    Quietness gradually resumed in the room as Nicole drifted into slumber.


    When William turned and looked at his remorseful wife and the bruises over her fair cheeks, a pang of


    pain shot through his heart.


    “I know you love her dearly, but you should know when to stop. Don''t expect me to do nothing when


    she hurts you,” William said in resignation as he applied some medication to ire''s cheeks.


    ire dried her tears and said, “I''m so worried about her. You have no idea—”


    Before she could finish, Silvia barged into the room.


    Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Nicole sleeping and William tending to his injured and


    disheveled wife.


    “What happened, ire? What''s wrong with your face? Where did you find Nickie? Is she okay?”


    Silvia had gone to see ire at the Lambert residence with a shocking secret the day before, but the


    timing was terrible because the whole family was in chaos after Nicole had gone missing.


    William and ire had been all over the ce trying to find Nicole and contact her, so Silvia decided to


    keep the good news for the next day. However, ire was entirely dispirited when Silvia saw her again.


    Faced with the many questions, ire frowned and answered Silvia mournfully, “I''m good. Don''t worry


    about me. I''m just worried about Nickie. She just got back today. Something triggered her, and she''s


    mentally unstable now. The doctor has just sedated her, so she''s asleep now. What brings you here, by


    the way?”


    Silvia nced at Nicole and then at the distraught mother. She disregarded William''s peculiar gaze and


    tugged ire to another corner of the room where it was quieter.


    “I have good news, re,” she whispered in ire''s ear, her heart racing. “Your biological daughter is


    still alive.”
