Chapter 802
The Woman From Hell
"Letâs talk about Theo and your parents.â
Cassey had always been a straightforward person. She went straight to the point without beating
around the bush.
I felt my head hurting a little. "You know I donât want t o talk about them."
"You have to talk about them even if you don't want to. There are certain problems that you can't run
away from."
Cassey put down the teacup in her hand and looked sternly at me. "Iâll not persuade you to let go of
the things that have happened in the past or the things which you think are painful for you. I'll not
give you any advice when I have no idea about the sufferings you've been through. Also, you don't
have to force yourself to forgive anyone or let go of the past."
She spoke from the heart, and I could not help but clench my hands.
If Cecilia were still alive, she would say the same thing as well. Hence, I was momentarily put in a
trace.
Cassey held my hand. "If you can't let go, you can choose to forget it. This is what you're thinking of
right now, right?"
I slowly nodded, tears welling up in my eyes.
It seemed like she was the only one who knew how I truly felt.
"However, I still want to advise you not to dwell too much on the pain in the past."
Cassey gently sighed. "You need to understand that you can't change what has happened. If you
keep thinking about the painful memories, you'll not be able to see the road ahead.â
How could I not know these things? However, letting g o was not that simple.
"Iâm not here today to be a lobbyist. I support all your choices. I treat you as my friend, so I hope
you'll not make terrible choices.â
I smiled a slightly bitter smile. "The things you said are those that I want to hear."
Cassey sighed gently. "I really hated Petra at first.
She's too ambitious and did everything she could to achieve her goal. She could even give it her all.
A person like that is simply crazy to me, so crazy that she could kill."
I agreed with her inwardly. Petra was indeed a person like that.
She continued, "She has been fighting all these years for what she wants, giving it her all. But she
has never harmed anyone. At least not before learning that Cindy was her daughter.
"She has been searching for 26 years for her daughter. Even when she was unsure, she would go
over the many mountain villages that were hard to access. And every mountain village she visited,
she would aid the poor to redeem herself."
This was the side of Petra that I did not know. I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.
Cassey leaned against the back of the sofa and breathed out a long sigh of relief. "She missed her
daughter very badly, that was why she provided Cindy unconditional love and did everything she
could to make it up to her after learning that she was her biological daughter. From a mother's point
of view, her love is great. From an outsider's point of view, her love was radical and terrifying. If you
weren't her biological daughter, then sheâs not wrong for defending her daughter as a mother. All I
can say is that fate has played games on you.â
After a pause, she continued, "I'm not saying these things so you'll forgive her, Wanda. I just want to
tell you that it's meaningless for you to figure out who's right and who's wrong in this case. You can't
change the past. If you want to live a good life in the future, then you should stop thinking if you
should or should not let go of the past. Instead, think of how you can spend the rest of your life
properly."
I lowered my head and looked at my hands.
I knew that from a mother's point of view, what Petra did was for her daughter to be happy.
Therefore, she had to help Cindy win Theo's heart.
However, my existence was a nuisance, so she had to eliminate me in order for Cindy to be happy.
