No Escape from Love novel Chapter 253

I scrambled out of bed without even stopping to fix my clothes and rushed out of the room. When I reached the living room, I heard the clattering of pots and pans coming from the kitchen. I stepped inside and saw Mom. She was actually wearing an apron, standing by the stove.

"Serena, you're up."

She turned to me with a smile. I walked over to her and furrowed my brows slightly. "Mom, what are you doing?"

She picked up a spoon and stirred the seafood risotto simmering in the pot. "I'm making you breakfast. Serena, you have to eat breakfast every day. It's important for your health."

Ever since she got sick, I couldn't remember the last time we had a moment as warm as this. Such an ordinary kind of happiness had once felt so out of reach for me. And now, it was right in front of me. I suddenly realized how precious this moment was.

"Mm." I nodded, taking a deep breath as I stood beside her. "Mom, your seafood risotto smells just as amazing."

After breakfast, I got a call from Patricia. "Serena, have you seen the news online?"

Mom was tidying up the dishes, and I was still basking in the warmth of the morning. "No, what happened?"

"The whole situation online has completely flipped. People dug up all the dirt on your grandmother and your aunt, and now, the same netizens who were attacking you are turning on them instead."

Her words made me pause.
