The result was that Laura was really diagnosed with a mental illness.
After hearing what the psychologist said, I felt that the sky had collapsed for me. I held Laura in my arms as I sat on a bench.
Fate had been so cruel to me.
I was dying, but my daughter wasn’t spared either.
I gave my husband to Nova and my daughter gave Brenda her father, but what did that lead to?
“Catherine, it’s going to be alright. The doctor said that it was a good thing we spotted this illness in the early stages. Laura will be alright after receiving their treatment.” Chris patted my shoulder and tried to comfort me.
Chris left after sending Laura and I back home.
About an hour later, I heard quarreling from next door. It seemed to be Chris’s voice, so I opened the door to take a
look.

Chapter 14
“Nova, you’re just a fucking evil bitch! There’s you as well, ames. A man like you is not worthy of being Laura’s father, you know that? The stepdaughter that you love so much is bullying your daughter at school! Well, you don’t seem to care anyway, so there’s no point telling you. Maybe you’re happier if she’s dead, right?”
After hearing those words, my legs gave away and I fell on the ground. “Ch–Chris, what are you talking about?” “What are you doing there, Catherine? Let’s head back inside. I’ll transfer Laura to another school tomorrow.” Chris immediately became calm and gentle as he helped me up from the ground.
I grabbed his collar and asked, “Chris, tell me what’s wrong with Laura.”
Chris sat me back down, took out his phone, and clicked on video for me to see.
“This is a surveillance camera footage from Laura’s nursery.
I held the phone and my fingers began to tremble.
Brenda was like a little demon in the video. She got a group of other children to surround Laura, She then pointed at Laura and said, “My dad said that her mom is a bitch and a whore. Her mom also has AIDS. We shouldn’t play with her. Oh, she’s also a thief. I saw her stealing my dad’s money with my own eyes.”
There was an uproar.
Laura stood in the middle helplessly. “No! My mom is not a whore and I didn’t steal anything.”
“You did! I saw you!” Brenda took out a bag of lollipops and shared it with the other children. “My dad bought these for me. I’ll share them with you if you don’t play with her.”
At that moment, another boy pushed Laura. “We don’t play with a thief!”
With that, other children began hitting Laura as well.
