Chapter 388 Cut Ties

Courtney spoke rather calmly, as if she was telling a story of another.

However, Alexander, despite being the listener, couldn’t put himself at ease. Although he didn’t spend much time with Tina, the little girl had brought him massive warmth—one that even Jordan couldn’t give him. A little girl so persistent and optimistic yet was going through so much suffering. Both of his kids—one cursed with a disease while another doomed with mental issues—weren’t born with the best health. He couldn’t help but question what mistake he made in the past that led him to opt for surrogacy.

“Had Elijah always been by your side whenever Tina’s asthma happened?” Alexander was attempting to comfort himself by asking the question. At that moment, he no longer had the desire to fight with Elijah. All he wanted was someone to be by Courtney’s side whenever the child collapsed. And if Elijah had indeed been by Courtney’s side during such critical times, he would admit that his connection with Courtney was far inferior to that of Elijah’s and hers.

Nonetheless, Courtney shook her head. “I didn’t know him yet when I arrived in America. That was when Tina’s body was at its worst. Every single day, I could hardly sleep, fearing that her breath might stop when I woke up the next day.”

Alexander frowned, not knowing what he should say.

“It’s quite problematic as a new parent, not knowing the do’s and don’ts. I had nobody to guide me as well. Eventually, I learned them all by myself, and that’s how Tina grew into how she is now. Sometimes, I can’t help but think that it’s a bad thing for a child to be so mature.”

She herself was too mature for her age when she was little. Due to that, she would never fight and was always forgiving. Sadly, that also meant forgoing the pampering and spoiling she could have possibly received.

Hearing that, Alexander felt the urge to hug Courtney.
