“No need, I’ll just take a cab. It won’t take long.”
Eldridge was silent for a moment, then asked her about the divorce certificate.
Prisci smiled lightly. “I’ll get it this time.”
She had already said those things to Wesley. With his pride, she was sure the divorce would go through smoothly this
time.
Upstairs, Wesley stood in front of the window, watching with a nk expression.
Prisci clutched the bag of medicine to her chest, waiting by the roadside for a taxi.
Soon, she was stopped by two men in ck suits. “Madam requests your presence.”
Prisci looked into the distance and recognized the Wilburn family car.
The rain began to fall.
Not wanting the medicine to get wet, Prisci got into the car.
The car door closed, shutting out the sounds from outside.
Tania nced at the paper bag in Prisci’s arms, her expression tinged with feigned concern. “Medicine for Grandma, right? Such a filial child. I’ll take you to the

hospital.”
Prisci responded with a t “Mm.”
Tania sighed softly and rubbed her brow. “Prisci, <i>you </i>should know why your mother came <i>to </i>see <i>you</i>.”
“Please, I’m begging you, let ud go, okay?”

She held Prisci’s hand, speaking gently and earnestly, her eyes welling with a hint of sadness.
“Back then, I only took your brother because I was pregnant with Larissa. Later, we didn’t bring you because your father and I were really busy. We thought you’d be freer living with Grandma in the countryside. We neglected you.”
“If you forgive ud this time, your father and I will dote on you twice as much from now on.”
As she spoke, tears fell.
Prisci looked at those tears, her emotions unmoved.
Back then, Prisci had longed for her parents‘ love.
Now, she was far past the age of yearning for family affection.
She even found itughable.
She asked, “Grandma has been in the hospital for so long. Have you visited her?”
Other than the day Bonnie arrived in Aetherton when Tania showed up, she had never set foot in Bonnie’s hospital room again.

Tania froze, a bit guilty. “You know I’m very busy.”
Prisci said nothing, her expression cold.

The gentleness on Tania’s face stiffened. Finally, she lost control of her emotions, her delicate features twisting with
anger.
“Prisci, I am your biological mother. Are <i>you </i>really going to go against me for the sake of an old woman a generation apart from you?”
“That ‘old woman‘ you speak of is the one who raised me.”
“But I was the one who gave the money.”
Tania still brooded over this. She had provided living expenses; it wasn’t as if she had abandoned her daughter.
Prisci shook her head. She couldn’t exin it to Tania, nor
did she care to try anymore.
She opened the door and got out.
Tania was left fuming, her mind full of Prisci’s defiance.
She had braved the rain to get medicine for that old woman, so filial.
Yet she showed no kindness to her own mother.
A surge of malice rose in her heart.
She said coldly, “Stop the car.”
The car pulled over to the side of the road.

The rain grew heavier, drumming loudly against the car windows.
“Get out.” Tania ordered expressionlessly.
Prisci was silent for a few seconds, then opened the door and got out.
She never expected that in the next moment, Tania would snatch the bag of medicine from her arms. Then, a strong force hit her back, and she was caught off guard<i>, </i>falling into the rain.
Tania had pushed her daughter, who already had one foot out the door, out of the car.
Then she flung the bag of medicine out as well.
The medicine rolled out of the paper bag, scattering everywhere, instantly soaked by the rain.
That was Bonnie’s medicine…
Prisci scrambled desperately, half crawling, to gather the medicine.
The rain was too heavy; all the medicine was soaked.
She stood in the rain, clutching the medicine, the water drenching her eyes. Through the blurred vision, she saw Tania’s cold, indifferent gaze.
Such hatred.
“Why bother with medicine? The sooner she dies, the sooner she’s reborn.” Tania cursed viciously, rolling up the window.

She never imagined Tania would push her from behind as she got out, or even throw away Bonnie’s medicine.
The torrential rain turned the world into a gray blur.
Prisci was soon soaked from head to toe.
Fortunately, there was a shop not far ahead.
She hurried toward it, but stepped on something and fell to the ground.
A sharp pain shot through her arm.
She looked at the medicine, nowpletely soaked, and thest thread in her mind snapped.
