Connor was already grown up. His first reaction after getting slapped wasn't to cry. Instead, he felt lost.

He didn't know what he did wrong. Why did Marina beat him?

A handprint appeared on his face, and his right cheek became swollen.

Marina's rage quickly dissipated, and she started to feel guilty.

She drew him into her embrace and said, "Baby, did it hurt? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

She hated Olivia with every fiber of her being, but her mood quickly improved when she thought about Olivia's dwindling lifespan.

A hint of joy flashed on her face. "That bitch is going to die soon. That's great!

"Baby, we'll have your father with us again. You look so much like him, so you have to cozy up to him so he will treat us better."

After everything she has been through, she became mentally unstable.

She would change her mood abruptly. Her expressions were crazed.

Connor feared her more and more. The fear was apparent in his eyes, and he was too scared to speak.
