Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 208

Ian sat quietly, waiting for Mrs. Sanders to finish her questions.

He just sighed heavily after she finished speaking. His eyes had a glum expression that was impervious to all attempts at relief, like a thick fog that wouldn't lift.

Why was it necessary to transfer the shares?

He'd clearly agreed to take over the company, and hadn't he been doing so well?

"I'm sony. Mom." Ian lowered liis eyes and apologized softly.

"Why?" Mrs. Sanders had her death glare fixed on him as she continued. "I don't want to hear your apology. Why do you have to do this? Do you truly intend to leave your family to pursue your dreams? Ian. I don't think you're that irresponsible. You can tell me if you are having any problems."

Mis. Sanders took a moment to breathe. She finally managed to take Ian's hand after much effort slowly.

Her eyes were slightly red. and her voice trembled as she said. "Is there something wrong, Ian? You can tell me. I am your mother. We are a family. Is there anything that a family can't work out together?"

When Ian looked into Mis. Sanders' red eyes, a sudden urge arose in his heart. He wished he could tell her right away about liis terminal illness. After all, he had endured much of the burden alone and suppressed the issue in liis heart for such a long time. He was desperate for someone to come and save him.

But no.

He couldn't be that selfish. His mother was getting on in years and wasn't in great health either. The news would be too much for her to handle.

Ian clenched his hands slightly, and as he gritted liis teeth, liis eyes began to cloud over.

Wlien he raised liis head again, the sadness in his eyes was replaced by a gentle warmth.

He continued to speak softly while holding Mis. Sanders' hand. He asked, smiling as liis soothing gaze filled the room, "Mom. what are you thinking? What could possibly be wrong with me? I just feel like I owe it to Sarah and Ron."

His expression stung Mis. Sanders as she observed liis unwavering demeanor.

She closed her eyes, slid back onto the bed. and ruthlessly pulled her hand away from liis hold.

Then she pointed to the door and said, "Get out."
