Chapter 2070


    In the hospital.


    Upon hearing that his mother''s condition had worsened, Martin rushed to the hospital. The moment he


    pushed open the door to the ICU, his sister Diana pped him hard across the face.


    "Can''t even keep your own bitch on a leash, letting it yap in front of Mom? How dare you?"


    Martin could only look towards his bodyguard, asking, "What happened?"


    "Ms. Serena."


    The bodyguard was cut off before he could finish, as Diana snapped angrily, "Why are you so


    respectful of her?"


    The bodyguard, clearly frightened, quickly corrected himself, "It was Serena. She came to visit Mrs.


    Florence with lots of gifts. When Mrs. Florence told her to leave Martin, she wouldn''t listen and even


    told your mom that her engagement party to you is set for this Friday at 7 PM. That’s when Mrs.


    Florence''s condition took a turn for the worse."


    "Did you hear that?" Diana turned to Martin, fury in her eyes. "That troublemaker did it on purpose to


    aggravate Mom''s condition!"


    "The engagement party with her is indeed this Friday at 7 PM. I was nning to find the right time to

    "She knows full well that Mom doesn''t want her stepping foot into the Cooper family, doesn''t support


    your marriage because it''s the reason Mom''s heart conditionnded her in the ICU, and yet she still


    tells Mom the time and ce of the engagement. Isn''t that just unting it in her face?"

    have to think the worst of her?"


    "Martin, stop ying dumb with me. Besides you, everyone in the Cooper family is against this


    engagement!"


    At that moment, the bodyguard noticed that the patient on the bed was waking up, and quickly said,


    "Miss, Sir, Mrs. Florence is waking up."


    The siblings stopped their quarrel and gathered around the bed.


    Florence slowly opened her eyes, and when her gaze finally settled on her son, she mustered all her

    strength, her voice filled with sorrow and anger, as she tearfully asked, "Do you believe in your


    mother?"


    Martin took her hand and said, "Of course, I do."


    "She''s a cmity. Leave her." Florence''s voice was weak, and even her grip was feeble, but she clung


    to her son''s hand, tears streaming down her cheeks, "I will never agree to this engagement."


    "Mom." Martin, somewhat helpless, was about to say something.


    Florence angrily cut him off, "If you insist on engaging with her, then you are no longer my son!"


    Martin saw his mother''s desperate state and realized she had aged; not just her hair had turned white,


    but her forehead was lined with wrinkles.


    He remembered the "mission" given by the mysterious person.


    Not to mention the McMillian family backing Arabe.


    His mother was old now, and he really didn''t want to burden her or the entire Cooper family any further.


    With these thoughts, he suddenly fell to his knees, apologizing, "Mom, I''m sorry, but I have to marry


    her." New ch?pter avаble o? Dr?мanоvеls.cоm


    Florence''s eyes widened, tears still on the brink, unable to believe that her son would sever ties with


    her over a woman.
