Sean noticed that Christina looked thinner than when she last left them and knew that she had been put through hell. “Christina, don’t give yourself too much pressure. The doctor said Travis’ condition isn’t worsening. We still have a lot of time.”“That’s easy for you to say. How can I not worry about him?” Christina picked Travis up.People often said that a mother shared the same heart as her own kid. Travis was the baby she had carried for 10 months. He had to endure torturous pain at such a young age. She would have taken his place in the blink of an eye if there was a way to do so.Travis was delighted that Christina was back. The hospital room was filled with smiles and laughter again. Christina stayed by her son’s side and played games with him, not caring about the exhaustion she felt.Sean’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Rachel calling him. “Big brother! Grandma wants you to come home for dinner tonight!”“I still have some things I need to do. I’m afra

From what he could remember, Matthew’s mother was a gentle and kind woman. She was a different person than the cunning and malicious person that Henry was describing. On the contrary, Henry’s heartless image had been engraved in Matthew’s heart. Henry had to have made up that lie, so Matthew refused to believe him. He wanted to personally ask his mother. Matthew did not care whether his body was weak as he insisted that he wanted to return home. As such, Fred booked the plane tickets and accompanied Matthew back home. After a ten-hour flight, Matthew and Fred were tired when they arrived at the Hendersons’ residence. Matthew went straight to see his mother in the courtyard without meeting the old master beforehand. A middle-aged woman was wearing white-colored clothes while reading the Bible in the courtyard. She raised her head in shock after noticing Matthew’s arrival. “Why did you return?” Matthew walked toward her. He originally had many questions to ask her, but he could n

“These are two different matters!” Matthew howled. “If you raised me, then I shouldn’t be able to separate right from wrong. If that’s the case, then I would prefer not to have had you raise me! Furthermore, you must’ve raised me just because you wanted to secure your place as Mrs. Henderson!” “You... You insolent child! Get away from me!” The woman was heartbroken as she used her shaky finger to point at Matthew. “I’ll just act as if I’ve never had a son!” Matthew immediately stood up and took a glimpse of the woman before walking away. After seeing her son’s silhouette eventually vanish from her field of vision, she sat down dejectedly as her tears started to pour. The maid walked toward her. “Madam, are you alright?” ==== Matthew returned to his old mansion and ignored everyone. He then rushed to his room and immediately locked the door. He could not describe the sadness and disappointment that he felt in his heart. After quite some time, the butler knocked on the door.

“Matthew, you’ve already grown up. You need to make your own judgments. You can’t get easily swayed by other people’s opinions. Even though I’ve imposed many restrictions on you, I still hope you still have some room for growth. Apart from that, your mother had it rough. Treat her well.” Matthew stood in the corridor alone as he looked at his mother crying through a glass window. Rachel was sitting beside her bed while combing his mother’s hair. She was whispering something to his mother. As far as he could remember, Matthew had never seen his mother cry. Even when she was ridiculed by the other aunties, his mother kept on being a strong person. His mother did not act like a rich lady even though she was married into a prestigious family. She had even volunteered at an orphanage. Apart from that, she was all smiles when she talked to the servants. How could a mother like her kill Molly? Matthew started to believe that Molly’s death was an accident. He only blamed his mother as

“Old Madam Young, honestly, I don’t dislike Sean, but I’ve suppressed those emotions because I know I’m not good enough for him. This is also why I left him after you came to speak with me. I didn’t choose him then when I didn’t have any baggage and I won’t burden him now after having gone through life’s vicissitudes. I’ll convince him to find his other half.”Christina heaved a sigh. “As for your request for me to stay out of his life, I can tell you right now that that’s not going to happen…”Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed the terror in the old woman’s eyes.Christina appeared baffled. It was only until then that she realized the coffee shop was eerily quiet. She looked over her shoulder to find several armed people in the shop who wore masks that covered their faces.All color drained from her face as she was reminded of the announcement issued by the Foreign Affairs ministry back home not long ago. Apparently, the United States had been suffering from ho
