Chapter 538 - Unloaded (1/2)
At Country C
The plane which Liam boarded along with Miley and their father, landed at country C in the morning. Their service was already waiting and sent them directly to the facility where their mother was being taken care of.
”How do you think she will react once she sees us?” Miley asked when they were inside the car as her eyes looked out the window of the car. She heard that her mother could not recognize anyone and would often talk to herself as if she was always with Tony.
”Maybe she won't recognize us too,” Liam nonchalantly commented.
”I wonder if it is really love she feels towards Noah's father. I feel like she's obsessed with him more than love him…” Miley voiced out her thoughts. Even if their mother lost her sense, it was only Tony who remained in her mind after she turned out crazy.
”Loving a person too much love is not good for their mental health. It can be toxic. She probably loves him more than herself and that was why she lost herself when Tony died,” Ram commented with a sigh. Marlyn was a part of his life and he could not help but feel sad and pity her for her current condition.
She risked everything for Tony hence she was too devastated when Tony left her first. It was really sad that her world revolved only around Tony that she ended up losing her sanity.
”Loving someone is a privilege that everyone should enjoy but we must remember that it's very important to keep a portion of that love for yourself. That's what I did when your mother, Marlyn, left me. I kept telling myself that I had a normal life before she came into my life so when she left I continued to live for myself and most especially for my children…” Ram added and pulled Miley to give her a fatherly kiss on her head.
Miley hugged her father and whispered, ”And we're so proud of you father. You are the best father in the world not only for me and Liam but also for Jorge and now Lana as well. We are very blessed to have you as our father…”
Tears fell from Miley. Liam too, who was just listening to them sitting at the passenger seat, felt his tears rolling down his cheek. Indeed, he was very proud of their father and he was very happy that in the end, God showed His grace for their father, by rewarding him with a woman who loved him.
After a forty-five minutes ride from the airport, their car soon reached the institution. Liam's secretary already made the necessary arrangements so they would just pick up their mother.
The director of the institution approached them and briefed them further on their mother's condition.
”She's in the garden now. That's her favorite spot where she can paint… And talk to her late husband often. She's very calm now and no longer harmful to others nor herself… It's just that she still lingers in her past memories with her husband and will always talk as if he is still alive and always beside him…”
They were guided to the garden where they saw Marlyn on the bench smiling brightly and talking to herself. Ram stayed behind and talked about Marlyn's discharge with the doctor.
Liam and Miley proceeded to walk towards their mother but halted when they were two meters away from her.
”Oh my God…” Miley gasped in shock. She already prepared herself to see her in this state of insanity. She was talking and laughing to herself and as the doctor said it was as if Noah's father was beside her.
Marlyn's gaze shifted on them and her eyes widened.
