No Escape from Love novel Chapter 225

After hanging up, I washed up and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

It was a dreamless night. When I woke up, daylight had already filled the room. Pulling back the curtains, I let the sunlight pour in, dispelling the gloom of the past few days. My mood instantly felt lighter.

After freshening up, I headed to have breakfast. Mom was already seated at the dining table, looking much better than she had yesterday.

"Serena, did you sleep well?" she asked with concern.

"Yes. I slept really well." I nodded and sat down across from her.

"I'm sorry you had to handle the situation online," she said softly.

I smiled. "Mom, what are you talking about? We're family."

She sighed. "This whole thing has made me realize a lot. I used to think marrying into a wealthy family would guarantee a happy life. But now, I see being part of a rich family isn't as easy as it seems."

I took her hand and gently reassured her, saying, "Mom, don't dwell on it. From now on, we'll live our lives well together."

Mom nodded, her eyes slightly reddened.

After breakfast, I accompanied her for a walk in the hospital's garden. The sun was warm, and a gentle breeze drifted through the air, carrying the faint scent of flowers.

"Serena," Mom suddenly called out. "What's going on between you and Alex?"

I paused for a moment, caught off guard by the question. "It's the same as always," I replied vaguely.

She studied me with concern. "Serena, I can tell that he really cares about you."

I fell silent.

"Mom, I know," I said softly. "But now isn't the time to talk about this."
