Chapter 284
"Aaron…" Belle tried her best to open her eyes to look at Aaron. "You''re a good son and brother…"
She looked at Aaron''s wife. "Olivia, you''re a good woman too…"
"Mom…" Olivia wiped away her tears and tried to smile, "Don''t overthink things. You will get well
soon…"
Belle shook her head; her voice was soft like a sigh. "No, I am satisfied as I see you onest time
before my death…"
She looked at Aaron''s three children with attachment.

She brought up her two grandsons and one granddaughter. They were all good children who were
hardworking, kind, affectionate, and righteous. Somehow, such a family had a mutated soul. Brian was
a sessful man, yet he was cruel.
Belle sighed. "Aaron, you''re a good man. Brian has achieved all he has today because of your hard
work. However, he forgot all about you after his sess. Still, you and Olivia did not me him and
lived your life. In the eyes of others, Brian is sessful, and he is the pride of our family. However, he
is not in my heart. You are my pride…"
"Mom!" Aaron tried his best to endure the tears. "Mom, stop talking. Take care of yourself. When you
are feeling better, let''s go home. We will take care of you. Please, go home with me. You will be fine…"
"I know you and Olivia are filial…" Belle reached out to Olivia, and thetter hurriedly held the elderly
woman''s hand.
"Mom…"
Belle looked at Olivia kindly. "Olivia, Aaron is fortunate to have married such a good wife as you. You''re
sensible and kind-hearted, just like Yuri. Our family must be blessed to have both of you as our
daughters-inw."
Standing near the end of the bed, Rachael clenched her fists tightly. She clenched her teeth in hatred.
She didn''t want toe, but her parents forced her.
They said that as a daughter-inw, it was not appropriate for Rachael to not stay by Belle''s side when
thetter was on her deathbed like what the doctor had said. Besides being criticized, Brian would
completely hate her.
As Rachael didn''t want to be separated from Brian, she had to stay in the hospital despite her
reluctance.
However, Belle''s words were stabbing at her heart. Didn''t one say a man''s words are kind when death
is close? So, why does this old woman refuse to forgive me? Instead, she''s criticizing me!
Rachael''s face was pale with anger, and she wished she could tear Belle''s mouth to pieces. However,
she could only hold back no matter how angry she was. I''m so mad that I''m going crazy!
Belle reached out to Aaron''s three children. They gathered around and cried for their grandmother.
Although their grandmother was uneducated as she only graduated from elementary school, she was
the vige''s tidiest and most reasonable olddy.
Belle would never talk loudly. She would never quarrel or scold children if she was in a bad mood. Their
grandma had never beaten or scolded them. Belle would reason with them in a low voice if they did
something wrong.
To them, Belle was the best grandmother in the vige. However, she was now dying.
The three children were crying, and tears covered their faces. However, Belle looked at them and
smiled contentedly. "You are all good children… When I am gone, I don''t think your uncle will help you,
so don''t count on him… You have to remember that you can''t have support forever. You must support
yourself… Your uncle owes a favor to your parents and he should help you, but he has forgotten your
parents'' kindness. Don''t me him… You should have a long-term vision and a rxed mind. It is easy
to go astray if you keep remembering the bad things… Just treat him as an ordinary rtive. You don''t
have to be close to or leave him for good…"
Brian was standing behind Aaron''s family. Although Belle''s voice was soft, he could hear every word.
He was so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hold in the ground and bury himself in it. Mom is right.
Aaron and Olivia treated me well and helped me a lot. However, I forgot their kindness after I got a job,
wife, and child. I didn''t even visit Mom for years. I only gave Mom and my son 2,000 a month. I have
entirely forgotten Aaron and Olivia.
Brian could take care of his own family and happily live his life without hearing about them. However,
he was ashamed when his mom brought the issue to the family and treated this as herst words to his
brother, sister-inw, nephews, and niece.
The three children nodded, their faces tearful.
Then, Belle said to Aaron, "Aaron, I entrusted Alex to Miss Taylor. It''s not that I don''t trust you, but I am
worried you won''t be able to fight against Brian and Rachael… After I''m gone, you and Brian are the
eldest. You and Olivia are honest people, but Rachael can always make a fuss without reason. If you
can''t win against her, you will be crushed and can only hold in the frustration. Miss Taylor is awyer. I
have something, so they won''t give Miss Taylor trouble. So, you can have peace…"
Aaron nodded again. "Mom, I''m okay with it. I''ll follow your words…"
Belle was getting worse. She could feel her lifef orce leaving her body gradually. There was not much
time left for her.
Her gaze slowly slid away from Aaron, Olivia, her three grandsons, and her granddaughter. "Y-You
have to… live your own life… You are doing well; I can rest assured…"
Gradually, Belle lost her voice, and her grip on Aaron and Alex lost its strength. Her eyes slowly closed.
"Mom!"
"Grandma!"
"Grandma!"
The exmations sounded one after another. After a while, the family burst into tears.
Brian kneeled beside the bed and almost fainted from crying. Mom didn''t leave a word for me. She
didn''t even look at me. Mom must have been disappointed with me and did not forgive me till death…
He couldn''t help but give himself a p in the face, followed by multiple ps.
Rachael panicked and rushed over to stop him. "Brian, what are you doing?"
"Scram! Get out of here!" Brian pushed her away and he roared, "Mom is dead! Are you happy now? Y-
You killed my mom! I will never forgive you! Rachael Vasquez, I will never forgive you!"
His eyes were red. Brian shouted with all his might and he stared at Rachael as if she was his mortal
enemy.
