Eira was trembling in fear. She hid alone on the balcony for a very long time before she calmed down. She did not dare to come down at all. After a long while, the ambulance came to the house, and Delmont and Joy had also returned. They had no time to care if there were still another child in the house. Everyone just followed the ambulance and went to the hospital.
Eira stumbled out of the mansion alone. She got on a bus and rushed home. When she had just arrived at the door of their rented house, Eira heard crying and screaming coming from the house.
"Delmont Stevens, you d*mned man! You shameless thing! Why don’t you go to hell? Have you even raised Eira for a day? Have you? Now, you came running to ask me for custody of the child? Go to hell! No, I'm not sick, and I don’t have a mental disorder. Don’t take me to get me certified as mentally ill. I'm not sick. I'm very normal. I can work, and I can support my own children. Don’t have me captured. Don’t..."
That was her mother's voice as she roared like mad. Just when Eira wanted to rush in, she saw her mother rushing out from the shabby rented house. The way she looked with disheveled hair was very shocking. Their next-door neighbors shut their doors and windows in fear. However, there was still someone who did not dodge in time and was bumped by her mother. That was an old lady. After she was bumped b y Eira's mother, the old lady immediately broke her leg.
Eira's mother was so frightened that she immediately apologized to the old lady. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not mentally ill. I didn't harm others. I truly didn't harm others. I didn't mean to knock you over. I... I was afraid that my daughter would be snatched away by others. I have to snatch my daughter back. I'm sorry..."
Eira was speechless. She never expected that her father actually wanted to snatch her away from her mother. She knew that her father had changed his attitude towards her, but she had never expected that her father would actually fight her mother for her custody. Why did her father change so quickly all of sudden? Eira did not understand. She knew nothing, but she just knew that she wanted to be with her mother. Her mother was more pitiful than her father. Also, she was only close to her mother.
When the old lady's family came out, they roared at Eira's mother and shouted that they wanted Eira's brother to hurry home as they wanted to discuss the compensation. Otherwise, they would call the police and have her mother sent to the psychiatric hospital.
Eira cried and pleaded with them. "No, I'm begging you, please. Don’t send my mother away. My mother has been very good. Her mind is clear. She knew she couldn't hurt others. She just has depression. That's what the doctor said." "I don’t care! Your mother had knocked my grandma over, so she has to pay! She has to pay for the medical expenses!"
