Evelyn's days had turned into an endless stretch of darkness, just like Jean's. However, out of consideration for their past relationship, Daniel hadn't pushed her to the edge. He'd provided her with a few heating equipment at least. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
After being locked in the basement for over a month, Evelyn's mind started to slip. Their family physician told Daniel, "If you keep her confined like this, she's likely to develop a serious mental illness." But Daniel didn't care. He didn't take the doctor's advice seriously at all. Instead, he instructed Gigi to visit Evelyn when she had time. After all, they were mother and daughter. Surely, seeing her daughter would lift Evelyn's spirits.

Gigi's heart ached when she noticed Evelyn's ghostly complexion and the empty look in her eyes. "Mom, why don't you just apologize to Dad? Kneel if you have to. Beg him to forgive you, and promise you won't see that man again. Wouldn't that solve everything?" Gigi had only heard Daniel talk about Evelyn's affair with Lucas once. When she found out her mother had cheated, she was devastated.
As the spoiled princess of Janctera City, Gigi changed boyfriends more often than she changed clothes. Even so, she had never juggled multiple relationships at once, let alone cheated. She always ended things cleanly before moving on to the next.
Hence, the news that her mother had maintained a long-term affair with Lucas left her stunned and shattered everything she believed in.
"Say something, Mom! Don't see that man anymore. We can still have a good life! Even if Dad divorces you you still haveand Brad-we'll take care of you!" Gigi poured her heart out, desperately trying to make her mother see sense. It hurt her to see Evelyn in such a state.
Something Gigi said must have struck a chord with Evelyn. With a vacant look in her eyes, she abruptly rushed to the door, gripping the bars with a crazed smile.

"Not long after your aunt gave birth to him, she passed away. Brad wasn't even a month old when his mother died. Do you know how she died?" Her eyes shone as she asked Gigi, and a smile slowly spread across her face.
Gigi was so terrified by her mother's behavior that she sank to the ground. It took her a while to gather herself. She eventually sat up, holding onto the bars as she cautiously asked, "How did Brad's mom die?"
Lately, a lot had happened in the Hamilton family. Gigi had matured significantly and was no longer as loud and impulsive as before.
Evelyn smiled at her and raised a finger to her lips. "Sph_you don't need to
know that, my sweet Gigi. My clever girl. Find a way to getout of here, won't you? Dreally can't stay here any longer!"
