Chapter 57

Adrop of tears slid down Mrs. Hughes’s cheeks as the slowly scrolled through her phone while reading the news. Who would ever imagine that the daughter in law she loathed so much years ago would turn out this way? She could never have imagined that things wound turn out this way, of course,

Waves of regret spumed through her all over again and she could only wish she never made this mistake in the first place.

“i puess you saw the news already, Mom,” She raised her gaze from the phone and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and there was Lisa, standing there with her hands crossed on her chest.

Lisa..” Mrs. Hughes failed to hide her smile as she dropped the phone and managed to stand up to her feet, but slumped back on the bed as they were too weak to carry her up

“You came to see me?” Tears poured down her cheeks as she stared at Lisa with excitement all over her.

“No,” Slowly, her smile faded as Lisa’s reply left a dagger in her heart. She thought her daughter must’ve been worried that she won’t be fine after she read the news which was why she came around, but it turned out she had expected much. Lisa really hated her so much now.

“How do you feel about it, Mom? Or should I ask what you feel, rather? Guilt, regret, or…” She paused as she slowly walked over to the chair beside the bed and sat on it.

“What do you really feel?” Secing the tears in the eyes of the woman who had been nothing but loving to her ever since she was born broke her heart into shreds. It really hurt trying to hold herself together when she could barely do it, but for the sake of what is right, setting her feelings aside was really important in this situation. It didn’t matter whether this woman was her Mom or not, what mattered is the fact that what she did was wrong.

“Lisa Please don’t hate me,” She slowly shook her head as tears found their way down her cheeks.
