Chapter 419
Sadie appeared in the video. It had been a while since their last meeting, and Sadie looked worn and frail, a stark contrast to her former elegance.
The air of superiority had vanished from her eyes, replaced by remorse and helplessness.
“Skye, it’s me, Mom. I’m bedridden now. I couldn’t go anywhere after the accident. I’ve been thinking a lot
lately.
“When you first came back home, I treated you terribly. I even allowed others in the family to criticize your
every flaw. We found fault with everything you did.
“This made you feel like you could never find happiness in this family. Those scenes replay in my mind every day, a constant reminder of how I’ve ended up in this state. I know it might be difficult for you to
visit, and you probably don’t want anything to do with us anymore.
“But I had a dream. In that dream, you pushed me away during the accident, saving me. But you ended up
paralyzed from a severe injury. Instead of feeling sorry for you, I mistreated and neglected you because of
your paralysis.
“Watching my dream self and reflecting on my real–life actions, I was filled with regret. This is my divine punishment, and I don’t expect your forgiveness. I hope you can come back and visit me one last time.
“Please, just come and visit me.” Sadie’s words in the video were sincere. Her tone was filled with sorrow,
and her repentant demeanor was more genuine than ever.
Skylar hadn’t expected Sadie to dream about experiences from before her rebirth after the car accident.
She wondered what else Sadie might have dreamed about.
She pondered if Sadie had undergone a rebirth of her own after surviving the car accident.
She was so absorbed in watching the video that she didn’t hear Caleb saying goodbye to her. Caleb
noticed and asked, “Skylar, it’s time to go!”
Skylar snapped back to reality. She smiled and said, “Let’s go.”
“Skylar, what were you so deep in thought about just now? Is something wrong? If anything is bothering you, please tell me,” Caleb asked.
Skylar glanced down at Caleb’s feet. “Is your foot completely healed?”
“Yeah, all good now. It’s not a big deal. I just can’t jump around, but walking is fine,” Caleb replied. He was
unable to suppress a smile at Skylar’s concern for him.
“After work, do you have any plans?” Skylar inquired.
“Not really. I’m just heading home to read and study.” Caleb scratched his head. When it came to reading, he struggled to focus. However, he managed to read a few pages a day.
Every day, he followed Skylar around, watching her handle things with great professionalism. It made him feel inadequate, pushing him to study and improve himself.

Skylar smiled. “If you’re free, could you accompany me somewhere? I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Without hesitation, Caleb agreed. “Sure!”
When they arrived at Williams Residences about half an hour later, Caleb’s face showed a conflicted
expression.
“Skylar, why are you here? They haven’t treated you well, right? And they even tried to force you to resign,” Caleb remarked. He didn’t have a good impression of the Williams family at all.
Every aspect of their behavior seemed rotten.
Skylar glanced toward Williams Residence. She stood there and felt a surge of disgust.
But since they had gone through so much trouble to show her the video and Sadie had spoken so sincerely, she felt compelled to visit.
Skylar wanted to see what tricks they were up to.
“They arranged to meet me through someone else. Let’s go in together and see what they’re up to. With you by my side, they won’t dare to do anything reckless,” Skylar replied to Caleb as she walked toward the entrance of Williams Residence.
