Looking at the Immortal Maid, who now appeared utterly deranged, Anning felt a mixture of fury, confusion, and disbelief. "My mother saved you! I don't understand what you could possibly be hating her for." Frowning, Anning spoke with a slight tremor in her voice. She simply could not comprehend why the Immortal Maid held such deep-seated hatred. In her memory, I had always been kind and gentle.
Hearing Anning's words, the Immortal Maid's laughter cut off abruptly, replaced by an expression of extreme malice. Gritting her teeth, she spat out, "Saved me? She killed my mother!" Her eyes bulged, bloodshot and wide, as if she meant to release every ounce of past pain and vengeance all at once.
Startled by this, Anning took an involuntary step back; she had never imagined such a reason. "I watched my mother die with my own eyes. You tell me, how can I not hate her? I lost my mother, and she shouldn't be allowed to enjoy the warmth of family either!"
