Chapter 62 Isabella smiled, but her smile was filled with sadness and bitterness.
âHave I not given enough already? When I was a child, I wanted to be with my wealthy father, but she chose him first, so I stayed silent. Later, when her kidneys failed, I even gave her one of mine. And now... she wants my husband...â
Her gaze turned iceâcold as she looked at her mother. âSo, tell me, why must I give everything to her?â
âItâs you who owe her, not me,â Mooreâs mother replied, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes. âSheâs always been pampered, and without Nathan, she wouldnât survive. Bella, youâve suffered enough as a child. Without Nathan, youâd adapt to hardship... so please, just give him to your Sis.â
Isabella stared at her mother, her voice trembling, her face as pale as paper. âIâm also your daughter. Why do you think only Victoria deserves happiness, while I must live in the mud for the rest of my life?â
âYouâre not just Victoriaâs mother. Youâre my mother too. How could you do this to me?â
She forced herself to hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes.
âYou donât deserve to be my mother.â
Mooreâs mother staggered back. âWhy are you being so petty?
Chapter 62 288 Vouch Your Sisâs health isnât good. Itâs only natural that worry about her.â
Isabella felt as though her throat was being ruthlessly constricted. She wanted to speak, but the words wouldnât come out. Her eyes burned with fury, and her face turned a terrifying red.
She closed her eyes in despair. She knew this was her old affliction flaring up again. The scars her family left on her werenât just psychologicalâthey had also manifested as severe physical symptoms.
At this moment, she hated her mother, but more than that, she hated Nathan.
Nathan knew full well what would happen when she met her mother, yet he coldly watched as Victoria manipulated her.
How could this man be her husband? She must have been blind.
Suddenly, a hand gently landed on her shoulder, massaging it lightly. A warm, soothing voice whispered in her ear, âSis, relax.â
It felt like a spring rain on a parched desert. The suffocating pressure in her chest eased, and she slowly began to breathe again.
Mooreâs mother, however, paid no attention to her daughterâs suffering. Instead, she scrutinized Theodore, his noble appearance catching her eye, her gaze filled with curiosity.
âBella, who is this...?â
Isabella saw the greedy glint in her motherâs eyes and rushed to 1288 Vouchers explain, âHeâs just a friend.â
But Mooreâs motherâs eyes quickly moved from his elegant clothing to the luxurious watch on his wrist. Her gaze was now calculating. âBella, when did you start hanging out with such a rich young man? Your friend seems to be doing quite well. Do you think you could borrow some money from him? I need a large sum for my medical expenses.â
Isabellaâs face turned purple with fury.
Her mother had never taken on the responsibilities of a mother. Now, she was shamelessly exploiting her without boundaries.
This behavior of only seeking attention and affection when needed, but ignoring her when not, strikes her as utterly ridiculous.
