Chapter 609 He's Just a Lunatic
Olive's POV
I didn't know how much time had passed, nor how many times the sun had risen and set
After being deprived of the ability to perceive the passage of time, my only way of judging time was by watching the bedroom light turn on and off repeatedly, and by watching the meal tray being brought in again and again
At first, I would still keep track of how many meals it had been since I woke up, and I would subtly inquire with Meteor, who ate with me, to determine how long I had been locked up
Gradually, in this daily dim environment, it seemed that my mind was not as sharp as it used
to be
I started to constantly forget the information I had diligently written down. If I hadn't been so certain that I hadn't swallowed the pills Charlie brought me every day, I would have suspected that he had given me something that damaged my
nerves
It has been proven that mental exploitation is even more terrifying than drug control
So I could only try my best to maintain my enthusiasm for Meteor
I behaved as if I poured all the misplaced maternal love onto Meteor in front of me. From the beginning of accepting his company during meals to later actively completing kindergarten homework with him, I could tell that Charlie was very satisfied with my changes
The only benefit I could get from doing this was that my range of activities became wider in this locked bedroom
Although I was still not allowed to walk up to the window, I could now browse through the things on the bookshelf when I was bored, compared to initially being confined to the bed and bathroom
Even during meal times and the time spent with Meteor to complete homework, under Charlie's supervision, I was allowed to untie the rope on my wrist
This 1s a good thing for me, but the downside is that I have to endure Charlie's gaze while enjoying the brief freedom
He would often sit elegantly across from us when Meteor and I were dining, and he
wouldn't even bring his own meal. He would Just sit with his arms crossed, watching me wipe the food crumbs off Meteor's mouth, and sigh
"Olive, you were truly a caring mother. Let's continue to live happily as a family of three, for me, for you, and for Meteor. Although I deeply regret not having met you in your prime years and allowing you to be Meteor's biological mother, it is not too late now. As long as we are together, there is still a chance to make up for everything..."

I listened to these words over and over again and observed them over and over again. When Charlie was saying them, the longing in his eyes was almost completely uncharacteristic of an adult
That was an emotion called longing and fantasy that only appeared in my childhood
Even now, Meteor rarely showed such an expression as his father
So I gradually realized that Charlie might not simply be the "pervert" I had cursed before. He likely had deeper psychological issues or, in other words, his personality might have significant flaws
I am grateful to my ex-boyfriend Colston, who was a psychiatrist, but I never expected that the things I learned from him would come in handy later on
In short, Charlie's current series of actions is like reconstructing a world, forcibly seeking someone to role-play with him, in order to fill the void he once did not get, or to make up for what he quickly lost in the past
For example, the happy years of a family of
three, such as his wife Meiling who didn't have the chance to see their child grow up

After realizing this, Ino longer expressed my dissatisfaction with him through intense resistance
I started consciously making some contact with him, such as silently accepting the coffee he handed me or raising my hand voluntarily when he re-tied the ropes, making it easier for him to fasten the buckle
I wanted Charlie to notice that I had already started accepting the lifestyle he had set for me
At the same time, I kept comforting myself in my heart, not feeling suppressed and angry about it
Because Charlie was a mentally troubled
person, as long as I treated him as a patient and constantly searched for a breakthrough, there
would definitely be a day when I could cure him
If during this time, Aaron couldn't find me or temporarily couldn't rescue me, I think I could also save myself
"Olive, I didn't see it wrong, you really were the most suitable person in the world to be a mother."
When Charlie once again praised my performance at the dinner table, I lifted my head and, for the first time since being tied up by him, made eye contact with him
