Chapter 3

The air in the villa was filled with awkwardness.

Leo quickly pulled back from Sarah's arms, a flash of panic in his eyes.

"Mom, why... why are you here?"

Kael's face, which had been smiling, instantly froze, and he instinctively stepped in front of Sarah.

"Elena, don't give Sarah a hard time. Leo and I were the ones who wanted to find her."

Looking at how they avoided me like the plague while racing to protect Sarah.

I felt a sudden pang of heartache.

All my logic collapsed in that instant, and I screamed at them almost heart-wrenchingly:

"Didn't you say you'd never contact her again? Why did you come here! Do you want to be with her that badly!"

Sarah pushed Kael aside and rushed to explain to me.

"Elena, don't misunderstand, we..."

"I didn't misunderstand!"

Before Sarah could finish, I pushed her away.

"You knew I was back, yet you still tried to take my place! Sarah, do you like being a homewrecker that much!"

Sarah didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.

Leo hurried to help her up with heartache, his eyes filled with more resentment toward me.

"Mom, why do you have to make things difficult for Aunt Sarah!"

Kael frowned, looking at me with total disappointment: "Elena, when did you become so vicious? How could you say such things!"

"If it wasn't for Sarah these past three years..."

Hearing Kael mention those three years, tears finally poured out uncontrollably.

I raised my hand and slapped him across the face.

"If it wasn't to save you back then, how would I have been in a coma for three years?"

"This is clearly what you owe me, yet from your mouth, I've become the sinner!"

The motivation that kept me going in the other world for three years was Kael and Leo.

But now, they were telling me with their actions.

Just how stupid I was for wanting to come back!

Kael's expression changed instantly!

Leo glared at me angrily: "It's your fault for bullying Aunt Sarah. You must apologize to her! Otherwise, I'll pretend I don't have a mother!"

I stood there stunned.

My son's words shattered the last bit of hope I had for this family.

After a while, I laughed mockingly at myself, "Fine, then just pretend you don't have a mother."

"Don't you all like Sarah and want to be with her? I'll fulfill your wish."

After saying that, I turned to leave.

Kael tried to pull me, "Elena!"

I shook him off mercilessly and walked out step by step.

[System, I regret it.]

[Take me back to the mission world tomorrow.]

This home, Kael, and my son—I don't want any of them anymore.

The system was silent for a while, then finally agreed to my request.

[Tomorrow I will arrange an accident to help you return to the mission world.]
