Chapter 523:

Mabel stood there, stunned for several moments, slowly processing what she’d just heard. Then, turning stiffly to face Glenda, who was continuously crying, Mabel’s voice quivered as she asked, “Did Dad really tell you to kill someone? Why did you listen to him? He didn’t want to do it himself, so he sent you? How could he?”

Glenda, her hand over her mouth, shook her head in agony and managed to sob out her words, “No, I didn’t… I didn’t kill anyone. All I did was remove that old woman’s oxygen mask. She’s still alive.”

Mabel was caught off guard. It appeared that her mom really had attempted murder, and the instigator was her own dad. She struggled to come to terms with this revelation. After a long pause, she pressed further, “Mom, why would you do that? Does Dad have something against that woman? Have you both lost your minds? Why would you do such a thing? Please, tell me!”

Jayden let out a laugh and commented, “Your mom won’t disclose her reasons for her actions, nor your dad’s reasons for wanting that woman dead. So, she ended up staying with us for a few days.”

Desperately, Mabel implored, “Mom, please stop crying. Do you want to be trapped here forever? Don’t you want to go back home? Don’t you want to live with us again?”

But no matter how fervently Mabel pleaded, Glenda continued to weep, offering no words in response.

Jayden watched the unfolding scene and remarked, “Your mom’s love for your dad is palpable. She probably wants to protect him from criminal involvement. What a touching love story! Sadly, it means you might lose her.”
