The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 597

Declan's eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't been home much lately. He didn't want Pamela or Aileen to know what he was really doing, nor did he want the world to know of their existence. He was trying to protect them. However, Pamela had suddenly fallen ill.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were sick?" he asked.

Pamela smiled weakly. "Declan, I wasn't in pain. Hailey took good care of me and made sure the best medicine was used. I didn't want to be a burden to you. I just wanted you to live a happy and peaceful life. If your father were still here, that's what he would have wanted too."

Pamela didn't want Declan to follow in his father's footsteps, so she had always tried to guide him away from that path.

Declan clutched her hand tightly. "Don't worry, Mom. This time, things will be different."

Pamela's tears slid down her cheeks. "My darlings..."

Hailey and Aileen stepped forward, each taking one of Pamela's hands.

Pamela placed their hands together and softly said, "I'm leaving now. Don't be sad. I'm just going to see your father. All these years, I've been here with you while he's been alone over there. He must miss me very much."
