Forbidden Passion

Chapter 397 Forming an Alliance

Vanessa had a rough night, obsessively checking Theodore's social media and staring at that photo. Her hatred and jealousy grew with each look.

She somehow made it to dawn. When the morning light peeked through the window, her eyes were sore and swollen, but she wasn't sleepy at all. The nurse came in and noticed Vanessa's bloodshot eyes and dark circles. "Miss Fitzroy, did you stay up all night? Why are your eyes so red?" Vanessa almost cried. "I just miss my mom."

She missed her family. She had stubbornly left home for Theodore, and her family hadn't contacted her since.

Their actions were undeniably callous. When they mentioned severing ties, they were resolute in their decision.

She thought, 'What did I do wrong for them to treat me like this? I just wanted to win back the person I loved. Was that so wrong?'

"Miss Fitzroy, is your mom still alive?" The nurse had been taking care of Vanessa for a while and had never seen any family visits, assuming she was an orphan. Vanessa glared at her. "Of course, my mom is still alive. Why are you cursing her?"

"I'm sorry," the nurse quickly apologized. "I just never saw any of your family visit. If you miss your mom, you can call her and ask her to come see you." Vanessa's expression turned gloomy. "She won't come."

The nurse said, "No mother can ignore her child. Call her, act a little spoiled, and she'll definitely come."

Vanessa shook her head. "Take me downstairs for a walk. I need some fresh air."

"Sure, it's nice today, no wind," the nurse agreed, helped Vanessa into the wheelchair, and pushed her out the door.

They took the elevator downstairs. As soon as they reached the small park, Vanessa saw a familiar figure.

Actually, it wasn't that familiar, but she couldn't forget that face. It was the woman she had seen with Brandon last time.
