Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 821

"Family, my foot!" Malvina exclaimed, looking at her son as if he'd just told the most absurd joke she'd ever heard. "You consider her family? Did that girl ever see you as family? When you were in that car accident and needed a liver transplant, she completely ignored you!" "Shouldn't she have ignored me?" Galen couldn't wrap his head around his mother's reasoning. "I have both parents and a sister. You're trying to force Sherilyn to donate her liver to me; does that mean you don't see me as family either?" "You!!" Malvina was left speechless, caught off guard.

"That's not, it's not..."

"Not what?" Galen shook his head, a rueful smile playing on his lips. "You just think Sherilyn is easy to manipulate!"

"Galen!" Malvina's voice broke as she sobbed, "Am I not doing this for our family? I just want to protect everyone in this household!"

Galen closed his eyes, sighing in resignation. It was futile to argue. His mother had always been self-centered; if she could be reasoned with, it would've happened long ago.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Why should we stop talking about it?" Malvina hadn't forgotten the main issue. "I'm telling you, you need to drop this idea of donating your bone marrow! I do not approve! Do you hear me?" This confrontation was bound to happen.
