Chapter 1378

Chapter 1378 Indifferent

Soon, not only did Joshua's ex-wife see her son in her dreams, but she also saw him playing in the house during the

daytime. Nearing a nervous breakdown, the woman quickly changed her residence to no avail.

The hallucination of her son followed her around like a shadow, repeatedly saying, “Mom, it hurts so much. Why did

you abandon me?”

Joshua's ex-wife began to suffer from frequent insomnia, and no matter whether she closed or opened her eyes,

the image of her son would always appear before her. She didn't believe in ghosts or spirits, so she went and

bought a bunch of melatonin.

At first, she would fall asleep quickly and sleep well without nightmares after consuming the pills. However, within a

few days, her son reappeared.

Joshua's ex-wife even dreamt that she had jumped off the building as her body shattered into different pieces.

There was pain all over her body, but multiple hospital checkups indicated she was fine, while the doctor suggested

that maybe she should consider visiting a psychiatrist.

After Joshua's ex-wife returned from her doctor's visit, she was afraid to close her eyes for fear of dreaming about

her son, and she had insomnia all through the night. The woman wanted to stroll in the mall, feeling like her son

wouldn't follow her with so many people everywhere. Who knew she would see a kid holding a Superman toy in the

end?

Joshua's ex-wife's gaze followed the Superman toy in the child's hand as it spun around. Slowly, she raised her

head, only to be startled by the sight of the familiar face of her son.

Her son waved the Superman toy at her excitedly. “Mom, thank you for buying me this toy. I love it so much!”

“Mom, why did you let me go?” His tone changed, and he looked at Joshua's ex-wife with reddened eyes. “It hurts

so much.”

“You hit me every day and make me sick so Dad would marry you again!” Her son cried, “Dad didn't agree to marry

you on my birthday, so you carried me and threw me downstairs.”

“It wasn't me. It wasn't me...” Joshua's ex-wife had been imagining her son's existence for many days, so she was

on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Now, she was going crazy after seeing her son's pale face.

She roared angrily, “It's all your fault for being so useless! You can't even make your dad love you more! What's the

point of you being alive? You might as well be dead! If I can't have your dad, no other woman will! You're the

incompetent one! Why are you bugging me? You should be confronting your dad!”

A well-dressed middle-aged woman suddenly yelled at something ahead, startling the passerby surrounding her.

They all stopped in their tracks, curiously watching the scene unfold.

After the woman finished her angry rant, she suddenly pulled a fruit knife out of her bag and charged toward the

woman holding the child, screaming, “I'll end you for bothering me constantly!”

Charlotte could tell that Joshua's ex-wife had gone mad, but she never expected the crazed woman to have a knife

hidden in her bag, let alone that the latter would charge at her, trying to stab her. Even though she was far away

from Joshua's ex-wife at the moment, she knew she couldn't escape unscathed.

Charlotte acted on her instinct and turned around, protecting Asel. But a few moments passed, and there was no

stabbing pain in her body as Joshua's ex-wife screamed anguishedly behind her.

Is my coat so thick that a knife couldn't cut through it?

Charlotte turned around and noticed a tall man with his back toward her. Then, she saw Joshua's ex-wife lying on

the ground with a broken wrist as she wailed in agony.

The crazed woman saw the child in Charlotte's arms. Her face contorted angrily, “I'm going to kill you!”

She struggled to get up, but Jerry kicked her knee. Soon, the nearby patrolling police arrived.

Without needing Charlotte to say anything, the onlookers voluntarily informed the police that Joshua's ex-wife was

insane as she had just tried to stab someone's child with a knife. The police then took Joshua's ex-wife to the station

for further questioning.



With that, Charlotte removed the earplugs and blindfold from Asel.

Upon seeing Charlotte, Asel bounced excitedly in her arms, “So fun! Charlotte, I want to play hide and seek again!”

“All right. I will play with you later.”

Charlotte was just about to ask Jerry why he was there when the faint smell of blood wafted into her nostrils. She

lowered her head to notice a gash on Jerry's left hand, and blood dripped from it onto the ground.

She couldn't bear to see Jerry hurt, saying, “I drove here. Let me take you to the hospital.”

Charlotte tried to remove her scarf to bandage Jerry's wound, but he raised his hand to brush her away, not

glancing at her. He then got into a black Mercedes parked by the roadside.

Charlotte watched the Mercedes-Benz drive away, realizing Jerry had become much colder since his return from

Xedells, for he had never spoken a word to her.
