Chapter 1886
“But how did he know that my mother was in this hospital room?”
Ellinor harbored a deep animosity toward her father, especially on behalf of her mother, who had been deeply
wounded by him.
“He really has the audacity to show up in front of my mom again! Bertha, rest assured, there won’t be a next
time!”
Absolutely not!
Once Baber was discharged, and things settled down here, she would confront McNeil and warn him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, Bertha sighed again, “Ellinor, do you think your mother’s heartache will cease simply by not seeing your father?
All these years, Marlinie has been wandering around, never truly happy!
One reason is the loss of you. She believes she failed to protect you and caused your death. The other is
heartbreak!
She despises your father, that’s certain. But if there had never been love, how could such profound hatred arise?
When your mother first fled the Howard family, she was barely in her thirties. With her charm, she had plenty of
men courting her wherever she went. However, she never paid attention to any of them. Why do you think that is?”
Ellinor pondered Bertha’s words seriously, “Maybe because she was hurt too deeply, she lost faith in love.”
Bertha nodded, “There is that factor, but I believe the main reason is that she never forgot your father. In her eyes,
no one could measure up to him. That’s why she never accepted anyone’s affection, giving no chance to others.”
Ellinor faltered, “Bertha, are you saying… my mom… still loves McNeil?”
Bertha replied, “That’s what I believe. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so agitated when McNeil appeared in
front of her just now. No matter how traumatic the past was, almost two decades have passed, things should have
calmed down. But your mother hasn’t moved on. All these years, it’s as if she’s been trapped in a cycle, unable to
escape.”
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, and Bertha slowly walked out.
Ellinor followed Bertha’s steps thoughtfully, “Bertha, what do you suggest we do to help my mother move on?”
Bertha said, “The day your mother can see your father without becoming agitated, when she can face him calmly,
that’s when she will have truly moved on. Otherwise, even if you forbid your father from seeing your mother, she

Ellinor’s eyes darkened slightly, as if she understood, “But I believe that man is not worth another moment of my
mother’s affection!” Bertha turned her head, looking gently at Ellinor, “Ellinor, you’ve deeply loved a man. You
should understand that feeling. Often in matters of the heart, it’s not about what others think is worth it, but what
the person involved thinks. Your mother has never let go of your father, and judging from how he acted when he
saw your mother just now, I believe your father has never let go of her either. If there’s a misunderstanding
between them, helping them clear it will be beneficial, don’t you think?”
Ellinor furrowed her brows in contemplation.
Yes, Bertha was right!
McNeil never let go of her mother, evident from the care he took of the flowers her mother once cherished.
