Chapter 471


    Chapter 471 Salma’s Dream (1)


    Salma was admitted to the hospital.


    She fell into aa, and although her situation was not very critical, she still hadn’t regained


    consciousness,


    Steven received a call from the servant and summoned his sons to rush to the hospital together.


    In the hospital room.


    Salma felt as if she was floating.


    Then she entered into a dream.


    The dream began on the day Simone first returned to the Gray Family.


    Salma, as an observer, watched what unfolded in the dream.


    She witnessed Simone’s care for the Gray Family and herself.


    Simone didn’t like to show off, but she expressed her care through practical actions.


    For instance, she prepared medicinal meals for her. Simone personally tested various medicinal


    ingredients and ensured they were both effective and ptable before serving them.


    Because Salma was particr about taste, even if the medicine was effective, she couldn’t consume it


    if it


    tasted bad..


    When Simone massaged her, there was warmth in her eyes.


    These were things that Salma had previously overlooked, but now she found them heartwarming.


    She knew that these events had truly urred in the past because she still remembered them.


    In the dream, there was not only Simone but also Steven, her sons, and Jodie.


    Then, she discovered that Jodie genuinely cared for and relied on her.


    However, this caring was mostly superficial, mostly just words.

    For example, when she was sick and bedridden, Simone prepared medicinal meals, congee, and


    massaged her, always staying by her side.


    She also learned to cook and personally made their favorite dishes.


    On the other hand, Jodie only expressed verbal care and then continued to do as she pleased.


    Her sons were slightly better than Jodie. Besides expressing verbal care, they would apany her to


    the hospital for check-ups.


    But it was rare, and they only did it after Simone suggested it.


    Then it came to the time when Jodie wanted Simoll


    In her dream, Salma also discovered that Jodie often said some ambiguous things behind their backs,


    guiding them to have a negative impression of Simone.


    She felt that Simone was specifically targeting Jodie and frequently causing trouble.


    What surprised Salma was that in the dream, Simone did notpletely sever ties with them.


    Because of her concern for family, although she also made some sarcastic remarks, she still gave up


    variety show resources for Jodie.


    As an observer, she could see that Simone was disappointed and distant.


    This made Salma feel-uneasy.


    Afterward, Jodie became popr because of these variety show resources.


    the


    Simone went to the set arranged by Titus to act, but in the end, the y was not aired due to an


    incident.


    She also noticed that since giving the spot to Jodic, Simone had distanced herself from them on her


    own


    initiative.


    Simone’s acting location was in Cebros,


    But Simone hardly ever came home and no longer sent messages to them like she used to, showing


    concern and greetings.


    She no longer reminded her to dress warmly when the weather changed.


    When she wasn’t feeling well, she hinted at it in a message to Simone.


    Simone only replied perfunctorily, telling her to take care of her health, and that was it


    She didn’te back to visit her, let alone make medicinal meals and apany her.


    She felt ufortable at that time and, under the influence of Jodie’s maniption, felt that Simone


    was just using this as an excuse to cause trouble.


    So she asked Simone toe home, but after she politely refused, she endured and didn’t call again.


    She even dismissed the idea of visiting the set.


    Afterward, Jodie became popr, supported by her sons and Leon, and her career flourished.


    Simone, on the other hand, didn’t do well at Gray Entertainment and had almost no opportunities.


    Every time Titus, who was her agent, tried to secure better opportunities for Simone, they would always


    be taken away or given to other artists by Jodie.


    Simone’s career in the entertainment industry didn’t go well, but she never begged her family for help.


    When Titus and thepany didn’t provide opportunities, Simone went out to find them herself.


    Then Simone contacted a film crew and went to remote mountain areas to shool.


    Simone didn’te home and didn’t even send a message to let them know. She just went alone.


    When they found out, they didn’t feel good about it and were very angry.


    It would be insincere to say that they didn’t care at all.


    After all, she was their biological daughter and sister, and after spending so much time with Simone,


    how could they not have feelings?


    But every time they sided with Jodie, itpletely disappointed Simone.


    She didn’t sever ties with them, but it was evident that she was deliberately distancing herself and not


    interacting with them


    During the months of filming. Simone hardly ever contacted them proactively.


    When Aaron reached out, Simone’s response was also very cold.


    From her attitude, they could tell that Simone was giving them silent treatment.


    This left them confused, not knowing why Simone was behaving this way.


    Jodie hinted that Simone was still angry about them taking the opportunity.


    After hearing it repeatedly, they thought Simone was being petty.


    It was just a variety show opportunity. Was it necessary to hold a grudge for so long? After all, they


    were family, and there was no need to be so distant


    They gave up on the idea of asking Simone toe back.


    They thought she needed to experience some hardships on her own ande back willingly when she


    realized that the outside world was challenging


    As long as Simone apologizes, like she used to, they won’t hold it against her.


    Salma knew that the version of herself and her sons in the dream did really care about Simone.


    On the contrary, they were not ustomed to Simone noting home, deliberately distancing


    herself, and no longer showing the same level of concern as before.


    Instead, they still missed her and wanted the family to return to how it was before.


    But if they were to actively coax her back, they were afraid that Simone would return and cause even


    more trouble, continuing to target Jodie, making the home uneasy.


    They couldn’t bring themselves to do it.


    So they continued to be at odds with Simone, hoping that she woulde back on her own,


    The version of herself in the dicam may not have realized it yet, but Salma, who was observing the


    dream. did.


    O


    Simone was a very emotional person and longed for familial affection.


    When Simone started toe back, they weed her and showed concern.


    As a result, they received double the affection and attention from Simone.


    Everyone in their hearts understood this, which was why they shamelessly took advantage of Simone’s


    affection and kindness towards them.


    They always believed that no matter what, they were a family and that blood ties could never be


    broken.


    Simone couldn’t let go of her loved ones, so it was only natural for her toe back on her own.


    Just like in the past, Simone would get upset when they showed favoritism towards Jodie, but she


    would still treat them like family and take care of them.


    Therefore, in their hearts, they were certain that Simone would not leave,


    The next scene depicts Simone returning afterpleting the movie, but she still doesn’t live at home.


    They felt uneasy when they found out, and as a result, they were all too angry to reach out to Simone


    proactively, prolonging the cold war.


    Until one day, not long after, they received a call from a kidnapper.
