Loving Mom 385

Chapter 385

“When Mom passed so suddenly, and the Kalen family kicked me out, if it hadn’t been for you, I would’ve ended up on the streets. I probably wouldn’t have even made it to see her one last time,” Sharon said.

But John wasn’t comforted by her words. “I still feel useless… I couldn’t protect you then… I couldn’t even protect Teacher Shayla. I didn’t even know she was terminally ill.”

Sharon shook her head. “John, this wasn’t your fault. None of it. You shouldn’t blame yourself.”

Her mother had hidden her illness from everyone. She’d even sent Sharon to live with the Kalen family to keep her from noticing anything.

Despite raising Sharon alone, Shayla’s life had never resembled some tragic melodrama. They weren’t poor. In fact, they lived comfortably-upper middle class by most standards.

If not, how could her mother have afforded to help John financially back then?

When her mother left the Kalen family, she’d taken a sizable sum with her. On top of that, she was an accomplished violinist. Whether performing or teaching, she earned well.

So Sharon never went without. Never.

Her mother always gave her the best she could afford-clothes, food, education. Everything.

As Sharon grew older, she’d once told her mother she didn’t need everything to be the best. That she could live more simply.
