?Chapter 1155:


    After the heated quarrel in the ward, a heavy silence lingered. When Joselyn left, the three who remained sat without a word.


    “Brendon, your mother dislikes me, so I think we should…” Ynda began.


    But before she could finish with the word “divorce,” Brendon cut her off. “No.”


    “But your mother—” Ynda’s voice broke as tears rolled down her cheeks.<fn314e> Th?s chapter is updated by Find1Novel</fn314e>
