Every single word out of my mother’s mouth cut deep. I stared at her in stark despair. I knew that she was still irked at me, but never had I thought that she would think that of me.

I’m also her daughter at the end of the day, so how could she think that I don’t love Steven?

“Mom, if that’s truly what you think of me, then I have nothing else to say. I know you don’t want to see me, so I’m leaving.”

While I was worried about her and wanted her forgiveness, I didn’t want to beg for it. Instead, I wanted genuine concern and forgiveness from her.

After saying that, I whirled around and hastened toward the door. In all honesty, she had truly hurt me greatly.

“How impudent…”

My mother had more to say, but I didn’t halt, and simply left in huge strides.

By the time I reached the hospital lobby, the frustration within me had mushroomed.

Argh! What exactly do I have to do before she’d forgive me? She’s well aware that Steven’s incident had nothing to do with me, so why is she heaping the blame on me? Was it me who made him gamble and owe loan sharks money?

When I reached the hospital entrance, someone kept honking behind me. Frowning in consternation, I moved to the side to make way for the car behind me.

Despite that, the car behind me persisted in honking at me. I glanced back over my shoulder, only to glimpse a familiar Ferrari.

Isn’t that Ronan’s car?

While I was still bewildered, Ronan poked his head out of the car window. “We meet again, Ms. Garcia,” he greeted.

As always, he wore a bright smile on his face, making me feel particularly relaxed.
