Mr. Fu, please stop being abusive. Madam has already signed the divorce papers.

At Philadelphia International Airport, Xie Shu had been waiting for half an hour, feeling anxious and worried.

The moment she saw Ilia, her eyes turned red and she almost cried.

How could her little daughter, whom she raised with great care, have ever suffered so much?

I hope that after this incident, Ilia will learn her lesson and stop bullying others.

When the mother and daughter met, they looked at each other in silence.

But soon, Xie Shu discovered that after returning, Ilia became timid and dull.

Old Wilson, leaning on his cane, warned Ilia sternly, "...from now on, you must stay in Philadelphia and not go anywhere. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will break your legs."

He had already prepared for Ilia to contradict him, but he saw a look of fear on Ilia's face. She hurriedly responded, "Dad, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. I will definitely listen to my brother in the future. Don't put me in jail again, don't put me in jail again..."

As she spoke, she began to tremble with fear, as if she had encountered something terrible.

Old Wilson: “…”

"Ilia, don't be afraid," Xie Shu was distressed and stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, your mother is here, and your father just wants you to be well."

"Mom..." Ilia stopped trembling and looked at Xie Shu tremblingly, "Will Dad really not lock me up?"

"No, as long as you listen to the director."

"Don't worry, I will definitely listen to my brother. Can you tell my brother not to be angry with me?"

"I will, Ilia, are you tired? Go back to the house and rest."

"it is good."

As soon as Ilia left, Xie Shu's face darkened. "What did Caesar do? Why is Ilia so scared? Did something bad happen in the detention center?"

There was already dissatisfaction towards Yan Huai in her tone, and she even blamed Tang Shishi, whom she had never met.

Old Wilson shook his head. “There are surveillance cameras inside. Since the first day she went in, the surveillance has been transmitted to me every day.”

He let his daughter stay in there, he must have a backup plan to ensure that his daughter would not be bullied in there again.

"Then why would Ilia..."

"Maybe I just haven't recovered yet..."

However, that night, Xie Shu heard crying in Ilia's room.

She rushed over, only to find Ilia having a nightmare.

Ilia was huddled in a corner of the bed, sweating profusely, mumbling vaguely, "...scared...I'm so scared...Mom, where are you?...Come and save me..."

Seeing this scene, Xie Shu's heart ached.

This is her daughter who she has loved since she was a child!

Why is Yan Huai so cold? Ilia is also his sister, how could he bear to let Ilia stay there for so long!

Is a mere Tang Shishi more important than the sister who has been with me for many years?

Xie Shu hugged Ilia and patted her back gently, "Ilia, mom is here."

"Mom...you're finally here..."

"Mom is here. Mom will protect you and won't let you be in danger again. Go to sleep."

Ilia gradually calmed down from her nightmare.

Xie Shu looked at her sleeping face, feeling sad, and gently tucked the quilt for her.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ilia woke up and rubbed her eyes in a daze, "Mom? Why are you in my room?"

Xie Shu smiled gently, "Mom is coming to see you."

Ilia smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry about me..."

As she said this, her eyes unconsciously turned red and tears overflowed.

She quickly turned away and wiped her tears.

Xie Shu's heart suddenly tightened, and her chest ached. She held her daughter in her arms and said in pain, "Ilia, don't cry. You have suffered. It is your mother who is sorry for you."

It was she who failed to teach Ilia well.

It was she who failed to protect Ilia.

It's all her fault!

Ilia lay in her arms, sobbing, "Wuwuwu...Mom, why didn't you come to save me? I was in there, really scared...I couldn't sleep every day, I was looking forward to you coming to save me every day, why didn't you come..."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Xie Shu's eyes were red.

She shouldn't have allowed Ilia to be locked up for so long.

She should have asked her brother to release Ilia earlier.

Even if Ilia did something wrong, she could be locked up for two days to learn her lesson. Why should she be punished so severely? !

"I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"How could mom not want you?"

"My brother said that if I didn't listen to him, he would kick me out of the house after you left..."

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in Xie Shu's eyes, but he still comforted her, "Your brother was joking with you, he just wants you to be obedient."

"really?"

"of course."

Xie Shu said this, but he didn't believe it in his heart.

She had always hoped that Yan Huai would continue to take care of Ilia after they left, but now he was getting impatient with Ilia...

She has been trying to make it up to him all these years!

Didn't he have any feelings for them, for Ilia?

How could he be such a cold-blooded person?

After returning to Philadelphia, Ilia's eyes became dull and her body looked lifeless.

She no longer liked to go out and stayed in her room every day, isolating herself.

Xie Shu couldn't bear to see Ilia go on like this, so he offered to take her shopping.

In the past, Ilia would have agreed without hesitation, but this time she refused and just said that she didn't want to go out. No matter how Xie Shu persuaded her, she refused to agree.

Seeing his once lively and lovely daughter become like this, Xie Shu fell into deep self-blame.

Old Wilson suggested that Ilia see a psychiatrist.

Xie Shu agreed, but no matter how she tried to persuade Ilia, Ilia refused and insisted that she was not sick.

Xie Shu felt helpless and distressed.

A servant suggested, "Why not invite Miss's friends to come over and spend more time with her? Maybe Miss will recover slowly."

Xie Shu thought about it and agreed, so he invited Ilia's best friend Alice to come over.

Alice was also initially detained on the charge of harboring a criminal, but was only detained for fifteen days. After Alice was released, she returned to Philadelphia early.

After arriving at the manor, Xie Shu gave Alice some instructions, hoping that she could comfort Ilia, and Alice agreed with a smile.

When she came to Ilia's room, Ilia was sitting on the sofa on the balcony, looking at the blue sky through the huge glass window.

"Ilia, I'm here to see you."

Alice said this while carefully observing Ilia's subtle expressions.

She wanted to know whether Ilia was really scared or just pretending.

According to her, Ilia shouldn't be so scared since she was well fed and well cared for in the detention center.

"Sit down." Ilia had a blank expression on her face and calm eyes. She pointed to the sofa next to her and said calmly, "What are you doing here? If not, go back."

"I do have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Caesar and Tang Shishi got married. The wedding was held in Jiangcheng."

"What did you say?!" Ilia suddenly turned her head and looked at her.
