Chapter 2476

But Balfour knew, deep down, Ivy still hadn’t let go of those people, even if she physically kept her

distance.

And how could she just sever ties with her own flesh and blood, her mother, so easily?

Ivy had a tender heart, and he feared her kindness would be preyed upon, that she would be taken

advantage of, even bullied.

In truth, Balfour felt no sympathy for the woman now stricken with a stroke.

It was her choice to mistreat her daughter. Had she not been so cruel, perhaps her fate would be

different today.

When she cast her daughter aside, did she ever ponder a future where she would lie ill and

alone, with no one to care for her?

Tessa wasn’t beyond recovery; it was just that neither Finn nor Clara were the type to wait

at her bedside.

Nonetheless, Finn couldn’t be so.heartless as to not even hire a nurse for his wife.

However, nurses don’t have the same dedication as family. Their cold demeanor was especially evident

as they tended to the bedridden Tessa.

At this moment, Tessa was full of regret. If only she had been more attentive to her daughter, would

things have turned out differently? After all, that child had so desperately craved her affection. Even

after being rejected time and again, she would return, pitifully reaching out to take her hand.

Regardless of the past, Tessa had given her life, and without her, Ivy would never have met Balfour.

Despite the majority of her life being marred by pain, Ivy needed to resolve this to find

peace.

Balfour didn’t question Ivy’s decision but insisted on one condition: he must accompany

her.

“You don’t have to say it; I want you there with me,” she said, gripping Balfour’s hand with unintentional

She feared finding Tessa well and happy without her, yet feared the opposite just as much.

At Evadne’s suggestion, Ivy chose to visit the hospital during the quiet of the evening.

However, the drive took an unexpected turn, and Ivy’s brow furrowed in confusion. The best hospitals

were downtown; why was she being taken somewhere else?

“Even if their relationship was strained, how could Finn neglect years of marriage like this?”

Ivy was infuriated, having assumed Tessa would be living her dream after Ivy left.

But the sight of Tessa’s hospital painted a starkly different picture.

“Perhaps Tessa could maintain a facade of harmony when she was well. But once she fell ill, it was

clear those cold-hearted two wouldn’t spend much energy on her.”

It dawned on Ivy that for years, it was Tessa who had given unilaterally both to Finn and Clara.

Sometimes, it seemed almost foolish how hard she tried.

Even if she was truly good to Clara, earning praise from others, what now?

Did Clara care for her when she was confined to her sickbed?
