My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 275

Chapter 275

'A letter for you, Ree. Love you as always, Sandra.' I realized it was a letter from my mother. However, the envelope seemed so old that it looked like it was written decades ago. The next second, I sat beside the bed and unwrapped the envelope before reading the content.

'3rd February 1996.

Dear Ree, it has been nine days since the day you were both. I wish you could know that you're precious little daughter for you have made me see the glimmer of light amidst the dark. I love you deeply, perhaps even more so than your father does, yet I cannot raise you by myself. Instead, I had to hand you over to your father, which I'm sorry about. Anyway, your father and I met each other in Bryxton. I can still remember it was a rainy day. When we first met, he was a cool guy who enjoyed picking on me sarcastically and giving me a silent treatment, but fortunately, I didn't let my ego get in my way as I tenaciously persisted, or we would have moved on in our separate ways long ago.

Speaking of that, I'm not sure whether we've moved on in our separate ways now, and I don't know what else to say from this point on. Look, Ree, I love your father to the bones, but before I fell in love with him, I had no idea he was a part of the Xenos Family, and neither was I aware that he had a wife and a child before I was pregnant with you. He once promised me that he would make me the happiest lady in the world, but my ego will never allow me to sit by and watch while another woman shares his love with me. It broke my heart, Ree. It cut my heart even deeper than an actual blade.

At this moment, I can't help but find it laughable about myself for believing the biggest lie in the world after all the sweet words he told me. For now, you're all I have left, Ree, yet I have no choice but to send you away because you will never be the Xenos Family's heir due to your three older brothers. However, we don't need their fortune either because I believe I will be able to give you a better life than the one you could get in the Xenos Family. Believe in me, Ree. I will make it for your sake, but I can't keep you by my side in France because it would be dangerous for you. After all, I'm bound to be followed by danger and trouble along the way as I rise to power. All I ever want is for you to grow up healthily and safely, and the Xenos Family is the best place for you to stay, which is why I had to send you away.

However, I need you to believe in me, Ree. The day we reunite will be the day you become the most powerful woman in the world as I will build your empire slowly bit by bit. I love you, Ree. May you live a happy and healthy life. Forgive me.

Love you as always,

Sandra.'

As I went on to read the letter, I broke down to tears emotionally and recalled the words that my mother said to me. She said we may be related by blood, but other than that, we have nothing else in common. Did she say that to me intentionally because she knew her days are… At the thought of that, I quickly understood my mother's motive, believing she didn't want me to feel heartbroken after she passed away, which was why she had been avoiding me all along. No wonder she didn't express her feelings to me when we met earlier. Soon, I was able to see through the difficulties she was going through as I began to feel how much she loved me. The next moment, I returned to the room I was in earlier and confronted that dying man once more. In my mother tongue, I asked, "Do you know a way to get out of here? If you do, I'll bring you with me and leave this place." Deep down, there was only one thought that appeared in my head—I must see my mother! I must see her right now!

The old man nodded and answered me. "Yes, I do."

A few moments later, I bore with the unpleasant stench that the man gave off and wheeled him away without even bothering to take a look at the kidney soaked in the Formalin that should have rotted and disappeared more than a decade ago. You're sick, Robert!

Despite his poor health, the older man desperately urged me to take him with me. "Hurry up, girl! Take me away at once. I want to see her now because… I'm afraid I may not be able to make it in time. I'm scared of losing her. I'm scared…"

Thinking the older man was referring to my mother, I voiced out my confusion. "Robert said you always hit my mother, yet you have the cheek to say that you're scared of losing her?!"

"Are you her daughter?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'm her daughter." I'm her only daughter.

With tears rolling down his eyes, the old man gently explained, "I wanted to have a child with her so that I could have an heir, but she wouldn't listen to me. At that time, I was young and belligerent, always succumbing to my anger and impulses. Furthermore, arguments and fights are rather normal between a husband and a wife. I might have gotten physical with your mother, but she was no pushover either and would always retaliate. Besides, she was also strong enough to match me in strength, often refusing to go down without a fight. In fact, she even sent someone to kidnap me once and had them rough me up. Since then, I didn't dare to mess with her ever again as I made up my mind to live with her peacefully. Nevertheless, she had never forgotten about that matter, much to my surprise because she later handed Rob over to me. Rob was introverted, temperamental, and fickle-minded, which was the biggest reason that the Saunders Family gave up on him. However, your mother adopted him out of kindness, not to mention the Saunders Family's agreement when they saw how much we cared about him. Because of that, Rob saw your mother as his savior who gave him a new life, and he had decided to live for her ever since, but on the other hand, the fact that I bullied your mom made me his target, which he vowed to torture…"
