Chapter 2387
"Mom, don't!" Bebe could not imagine how desolate her life would become if she lost her mother, the only person she could rely on!
However, she seemed to be vaguely enlightened, allowing her to experience Roxie's pain and despair back then.
Bebe felt sympathy for her half-sister for the first time.
Charles looked at Madam Banners helplessly. At this moment, he was no longer as gentle and good-tempered as he was in the past. He felt a sense of grudge and disdain toward her for all of her past actions.
"Bebe, make your mother put the knife down."
Bebe looked at her father, and the disdainful gaze in his eyes stabbed her heart. She suddenly despised her father from the bottom of her heart as she started thinking that he had bad morals.
Bebe cried as she tried to save her parents' relationship that was on the verge of breaking. "Dad, Mom doesn't want her to come into our house, so you shouldn't let her in. Even if you're getting yourself a new family, I beg you to bring them away and build your family in a new place. You should at least leave this one roof for me and Mom."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Charles angrily rebuked Bebe, "I have a fair share for
this house as well, so why should I leave? You two short-sighted women are only interested in your own benefits. I've had enough of you!"
Madam Banners' eyes were crimson red with tears as she said, "I've finally seen your true colors, Charles Banners. You're nothing but a gold-digging bastard. You were lying when you said you loved me back then. What you loved was the status, glory, and wealth that I could bring to you.
"In fact, the person you love most is yourself, Charles. You're selfish and heartless. I hate myself for not seeing your true colors sooner." Madam Banners dropped the knife and no longer threatened to commit suicide.
"My name's on the title of this house as well, so why should I leave?"
She pulled up Bebe who was sitting on the ground and said, "Bebe, we have to be dependent on each other from now on. Rest assured, no one will be able to drive us away."
Madam Banners pulled Bebe into the bedroom and locked the door. The two of them hugged each other and cried it out while trying to comfort each other.
Charles could not care less about Madam Banners at this moment. He ordered his servants to bring his ex-wife in and put her on the sofa.
She was as thin as a little old woman and weak as a half-grown child.
Her cloudy eyes surveyed this unfamiliar place. It was the most beautiful house she had ever seen.
Finally, her eyes fell on Roxie, who was in a wheelchair. Her pupils moved slightly.
Roxie also looked at her quietly.
Her mother's past youthful face appeared in her mind, which was of peerless elegance. However, she looked s o old now that no one could see her past beauty one bit.
However, she was clearly not even 40 years old.
She looked so old as all the ups and downs of her life and the injustice she experienced were written on her face.
Roxie was reminded that when her mother was younger, she had always quarreled and fought with her father.
Once, she was beaten by her father to the point that she was bedridden. She no longer had the energy to take care of Roxie. Then, Roxie would lay on top of her whenever she was hungry.
Her mother would push her away angrily while yelling at her, "Go and get food from the granny next door! Go now! You'll starve to death if you wait around here!"
At the time, Roxie thought that her mother was fierce and no longer loved her. That thought stuck with her until she was all grown up.
Later, she began to reflect on it. If her mother had not done this at that time, she would have starved to death.
It turned out that she was merely teaching her how to survive.
Although that method of survival made her suffer, at least very least, she survived.
Now, with her biological mother in front of her, Roxie finally had the opportunity to ask whether or not she had ever loved her.
