Chapter 678
Chapter 678 Is This Imprisonment?
I wasn't allowed to go out, and if I had to go out, I must be accompanied by someone?
He was restricting my personal freedom!
Hearing Rose's words, I was greatly shocked and extremely puzzled
Charlie was just avoiding communicating with me before, but now, he was outright imprisoning me!
"Contact Charlie immediately. I want to talk with him!"
I loudly commanded Rose with a stern attitude that I had never had before
Rose's expression changed slightly, but she still didn't do as I said. This made me immediately realize one thing: in this household, only Charlie was their employer, and I, in their minds, was probably just an appendage to him
I was never really the mistress of this house
Without Charlie, I was nothing!
This realization left me feeling very uncomfortable. I wasn't sure if their attitude was related to my amnesia, but the fact was that I had merely lost my memory-my body and intellect were fully those of an adult. There was no need for them and Charlie to "protect" me in such an absurd manner
Just as I was about to vent my frustration to Rose again, a childish voice sounded outside the door
"Mom, what's wrong?" It was Meteor
During these days when he had been sick, I'd been taking care of him in the hospital
Although the nurse's words made me highly doubt his background, or perhaps, it added doubt to the existence of a blood relationship between us, but honestly, no one could bear to watch a child they interact with daily fall ill without caring for them
Even though we weren't close, I wouldn't hold any grudges against him during his most vulnerable moments. Moreover, Meteor's hospitalization largely stemmed from my probing questions directed at him
I thought that, no matter what, Charlie and I were husband and wife, and Meteor was
nominally our child. No matter what the truth was, I should take care of him wholeheartedly
But when Meteor called out "Mom" in his weak voice right outside my room, I was instantly stunned
He hadn't used such a warm tone to address me for a long time, let alone showing concern for me after hearing my roar
If this had happened before his hospitalization, I think I would have been moved to tears and given him a big hug, telling him that I was okay
But now, I wasn't even sure whose son he really was. Reason and emotion seemed to constantly clash in my mind, leaving me unsure how to face the child before me
In the past, I hated myself for not fulfilling my
duty as a mother, which caused him to harbor resentment towards me and not want to be close to me
But at this moment, I wasn't even certain if I was Meteor's biological mother. The truth seemed to be getting further away from me, and I felt myself unable to respond to Meteor's concern at all as if my legs were nailed to the ground
After a while, Rose ended up answering Meteor for me
"Meteor, you were sick a few days ago, and your mother has been taking care of you in the hospital. Now she needs some rest. So let's not disturb her, okay?"
As she spoke she approached him and gently patted his head before turning back with a smile toward me

I didn't want any conflict with her in front of Meteor, nor did I want to tell him that his father's so-called "protection" was actually imprisonment. I figured I should calm down
So I temporarily compromised and allowed Rose to take Meteor out of my room, but there was still a voice in my heart telling me that I couldn't go on like this anymore
A woman full of secrets, a child full of secrets, and a family full of secrets
I couldn't spend my whole life in such an environment, and my relationship with Meteor couldn't continue to develop like this
Besides, if he really was someone else's son, I didn't think any mother could bear to be separated from her child. I should help everything return to normal
Unfortunately, Charlie chose to bail at a time like this. But no matter what, I'd need to wait until he'd calmed down enough to face me before expressing what I was thinking
Otherwise, given my current situation, I'd be
unable to contend against anyone, including my husband
However, that night, without Charlie by my side, I unexpectedly slept soundly
In my dream, the silhouette of a man kept appearing repeatedly, constantly asking me if I missed the kids. But just when I tried my best to press further, he disappeared, leaving behind a desolate white light. I didn't even get to see the man's
face
