Evelyn was filled with regret, but her mother was nevering back for her.


    It turned out that there really were mothers in the world who could hurt their own daughters.


    And daughters who could truly break their mothers'' hearts.


    Evelyn''s face was streaked with tears as she cried uncontrobly.


    Wendy said, "Let''s go."


    Wendy took a deep breath to ease the difort in her body, but the metallic taste in her throat only made it worse.


    Whenever she used to get sick, Natalie would be the one to brew her medicine. It had always been very effective.


    Back then, she had no idea Natalie knew anything about medicine; she just assumed the remedies came from a holistic healer. Only now did she realize how skilled Natalie truly was.


    Evelyn bit her lip hard, a malicious glint in her eyes as she looked at Sophia''s vi. ying games with her came with a price.


    Sophia had been so nice to her and her brother, letting them go out and have fun, all because she wanted to ruin them so her own son could inherit their father''s fortune.


    And her father had only married her mother for her family''s money and connections. As the pieces fell into ce, Evelyn felt a tightness in her throat, as if she were being choked. She desperately wanted to tell her mother she was wrong.


    But her mother had heard the most horrible words in the world, and they hade from her own daughter''s mouth.


    She knew her mother would never forgive her.


    "Waaaah..."


    Evelyn covered her face and wept, but Wendy remained unmoved by her cries.


    Everyone had to pay the price for their own choices.


    After dropping Evelyn off, Wendy headed to the hospital to be with Jerome.


    But on the way, a deep sense of unease settled over her.


    She suddenly thought of Natalie. A mother''s intuition, perhaps, but she felt like something was wrong.


    She called Natalie, but after several attempts, the calls went unanswered.


    She knew Natalie didn''t want to talk to her.


    She had tried calling and texting from different numbers, but Natalie had never once responded.


    Tonight, however, the anxiety was overwhelming.


    Wendy arrived at the hospital, her mind in turmoil.


    She walked into the room and saw Jerome lying in bed, his face contorted in pain. "Jerome,” she said, rushing to his side.


    Jerome had just gotten out of surgery, and his wounds were throbbing.


    Seeing his mother, tears streamed down his face. "Mom, will my legs get better?"


    "Once I''m back on my feet, I''m going to find Zenobia. I need to see her... and my son."


    He wanted to see his child and Zenobia. He wanted to tell her he was sorry.


    Wendy paused for a moment before sitting on the edge of the bed.

    "Jerome, focus


    first. We can talk about everything"


    elseter."


    Zenobia hadpletely given up on him. After all, what he''d done before was unforgivable.


    "Okay, Mom. Can you find out where Zenobia is living now?"


    Wendy already knew where Zenobia lived. She decided to crush her son''sst glimmer of hope. "Jerome, even if you knew where she was, she''s no longer yours to have The child isn''t yours either. You can go see them, but don''t disturb her. You hurt her deeply. She will never forgive you."


    “If she intended to forgive you, she would have told you when the baby was born,


    not let you find out from someone else.”

    "Jerome, now that you know you have a son, you need to change that arrogant attitude of yours. Be a aè strong support for your child. As for Zenobia, once your legs are healed,


    you can go see her. Maybe you two can talk things out?"


    Jerome was devastated, tears streaming down his face as he clung to hisst hope.


    "Mom, do you think... do you think Zenobia will forgive me?"
