Chapter 697 Confronting the Past

• Linda had barely opened her eyes when she expected to see her son, but instead, she saw Freya kneeling before her. Without thinking, she raised her hand to slap Freya in front of her.
• Her hand, weakened from years of immobility, barely grazed Freya’s face. Still, the sudden motion startled Nathaniel, who burst into the room, grabbing Linda’s wrist to stop her.
• Linda’s gaze darkened with rage as she locked eyes with Nathaniel. The hate in her expression was palpable, as if she wanted to tear him apart.
