Chapter 1678:
She paused, gathering her thoughts before continuing. “When she was in the ICU, | made it a point to visit her
every single day. We'd talk about everything. But the more t| spent with her, the more | noticed signs of
depression in her. | have a feeling it all ties back to how overprotective her mother has been toward her.”
She sighed. “So today, | urged Barbara to open up, to share what's really on her heart with her mother. But
Barbara's terrified—she worries that being honest might wound her mother’s feelings. That's always been her
way—bottling everything up rather than risking the fallout. | spent a long tencouraging her today, and she
finally agreed to talk to her mother properly about the matter.”
Belinda looked down, a quiet hope lingering in her voice. “I just wish they could find a way to solve this.”
Lucas nodded thoughtfully, his eyes flickering toward her as they waited at the traffic light. A subtle smile tugged

remember that woman?”
Nalani’s face was serious, her voice measured as she chose each word with care. “Yeah. Why not? | believe
Elwood was right. We're so convinced we're acting in his best interest that we've completely overlooked whether
he even needs our intervention. We've simply forced our own opinions onto him. But that’s not what he wants!”
Nalani pressed her lips into a thin line before the words spilled forth. “Yes! Carola betrayed Elwood’s trust and
shattered his heart with something truly unforgivable. When Elwood finally severed ties with her, he did the right
thing. The breakup left him wounded and broken. Then, after that devastating car accident, you convinced Dr.
Brooks to hypnotize him, wiping every trace of Carola from his memories. The treatment worked perfectly—he
genuinely forgot both Carola and the agony she had caused him.”
