Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 20

Natalie’s mocking words echoed in her mind. “So what if you’re my mother? When I was wrongly accused, you always chose to believe Joanna. If you had shown me even a sliver of genuine affection, I wouldn’t have cut ties with you so easily. But did you? Ever?”

Wendy’s heart ached. Every time Joanna got into trouble, she blamed Natalie. The daughter she had raised with her own hands was so sweet and considerate. She was nothing like the wild, untamed Natalie. She had given all her love to Joanna, and had never once believed her own daughter when she was suffering. The thought was a torment.

“Wendy? Wendy.”

Nathan’s voice pulled her back to the present. “What is it?” she asked.

He stood up, his face a mask of concern. “Wendy, have you been feeling unwell lately? You seem so distracted. Maybe I should take you to the hospital tomorrow. Are you sick?”

Wendy froze. Was it that obvious? Natalie’s words had thrown her into a state of turmoil. “Do I look sick to you?” she asked, her brow furrowed.

Nathan frowned. “Well, yes, you do. You’re not focused, and you’re always spacing out. Wendy, women go through menopause. Maybe you should get it checked out.”

Wendy’s eye twitched. Was he saying she was menopausal? “So, you think I’m menopausal and should be locked up in a hospital?” A seed of resentment began to sprout in her heart.

Natalie’s other words came back to her. “In fact, your tragic fate is about to begin. And not just yours, but your four sons’ and your parents’ as well.” What the hell did that mean?
