I rushed forward with all my might, but I was still a step too late. My daughter looked up at me one last time with those innocent, confused eyes and then, right before my eyes, she was torn apart by the starving wolf.”
If it weren’t for that strangely intelligent yellow cow that came charging through just then, I probably would’ve been next. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the cattle ranch. From then on, that big yellow cow was my tall and mighty husband and the wobbly little calf was my adorable daughter.N
With a loud crash, I suddenly woke up from the nightmare of my memories. I instinctively clutched the little calf in my arms, heart pounding and stared warily at Jace, whose eyes were bloodshot with rage.”
At this moment, his hands were covered in blood and there was a pile of broken vase shards on the ground. Jace was trembling uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with hollow despair and grief–stricken hatred as if his heart had been shredded by sharp knives. I looked at Jace expressionlessly, but he kept his head down, his eyes bloodshot, not daring to meet my gaze.”
“This is the first time I’ve encountered a case like this. Before knowing what happened to Mrs. Willow, I couldn’t understand what kind of trauma could make a person see a cow as her husband and child while also being so mentally numb that she lost the ability to feel pain. Now I know she is a mother, a mother who watched her child be abused and die tragically before her eyes. Then all the causes of her illness become understandable.“§
Hearing that, Jace slumped against the wall, like all the pain in his body had exploded silently at once. He didn’t make a sound, but I gould feel his tears falling. It was a long time before his shaking shoulders finally stilled.}]
His eyes were swollen and red and he staggered step by step towards me, falling heavily to his knees. “Willow, I’m sorry.” Jace’s voice was hoarse like paper being torn by a knife. “It was my fault for not protecting you and our daughter and for personally sending you into the hands of that beast and neglecting you. Don’t worry. I will definitely give you and our daughter justice. I will make everyone who hurt you wish they were dead.“>
After Jace finished speaking, he exuded a terrifyingly dark aura as he took us back to the cattle ranch. When the cattle ranch owner was brought before us by the bodyguards, he was trembling all over with fear, feeling like he would wet his pants any second.
“Do you know why I came back to find you?” Under Jace’s questioning and coercive tone, the cattle ranch owner’s face showed suspicion and uncertainty. He subconsciously looked at Zara, who w was also pale beside us, hoping to get a hint from her.
Unfortunately, Zara wasn’t allowed into the psychologist’s office, so she had no idea I’d been hypnotized and had revealed everything. However, she could roughly guess that through the doctor’s diagnosis, Jace now knew that my mental illness was real and not an act. Zara’s eyes flickered, not daring to meet the cattle ranch owner’s gaze.”
Seeing her like this, the cattle ranch owner felt even more uncertain and stammered, “Mr. Shepard, I don’t know why you’ve come back. Is it because Madam has recovered and you’re here to return the cow to me? Or do you think I haven’t treated Madam well enough during this time, so… so you want to teach me a lesson?”
The corner of Jace’s mouth curled into a cold and cruel arc. The next moment, he broke one of the cattle ranch owner’s arms. Amidst the cattle ranch owner’s screams of agony, he said word by word, “Have you forgotten that I still had a daughter at your cattle ranch? You clearly knew we had left our daughter behind, yet you didn’t say a word about coming back to pick her up. Because you’d already thrown her to the outskirts to be eaten by wolves. You murdered my daughter, didn’t you?“{
