Chapter 1008

“Your mother was pampered and protected from a young age. She was naturally innocent and kind, unaware of the wickedness in people’s hearts. During her university years, she fell in love with Alfonso under his persistent pursuit. However, we all felt that he was not a good man and did not approve of their relationship. Yet your mother was determined to marry him. This caused a huge uproar in the family. Later, no one knew what Alfonso promised your mother, but she believed him and even eloped with him. That was the first and only time she ever rebelled in her life. Your grandfather was quite upset about it. Your grandmother, who was already in poor health, became even more despondent because of this incident. I initially wanted to find her, but your grandfather was stubborn and refused to allow it.

Later, as your grandmother’s illness worsened, we had no choice but to take her abroad for treatment.

Before we left, I sent a message to your mother, but I wasn’t sure if she saw it. Truth be told, we’ve gotten over our anger, and we’ve forgiven her in our hearts. We missed her dearly. If only she had come back and apologized. Even if we still don’t like Alfonso, we would’ve accepted him. But who would have thought, once we parted, it would be for so many years…’

He spoke at length with an increasingly sorrowful tone before heaving a deep sigh.

“All these years, your mother never returned. We thought she was still holding a grudge against the family. We missed her and felt sad. It wasn’t until last year that your grandmother started to become like this, always talking about your mother. So, we began to look for your mother, but who would have known…”

Before he could finish speaking, Neera suddenly broke into a sarcastic smile.

“Who would have known that the consequences of her going all out would be so terrible? The man she had set her heart on turned out to be useless and worse than an animal!”

As soon as the words were spoken, members of the Park family were taken aback as they looked at her with eyes full of sympathy.

Unable to bear it any longer, Nadine got up and moved to her side, clutching the latter’s hand with teary eyes.

“We only learned about your situation and heard about all the injustices you’ve endured after we returned. Over the years… you’ve really suffered. If only we had known earlier about what happened to you and your mother, we would have definitely found you earlier. It’s our fault. We came too late…”
