Chapter 1786


    In the evening, Maisie found herself at the hospital with Cindy. She prepared a te of sliced apples for


    Cindy, but thetter didn’t even nce at it.


    “Mom.” Maisie spoke, the atmosphere tense. Summoning courage, she continued. “You haven’t had


    dinner. Have some fruit first. If you want anything else, I can get it for you…”


    Cindy nced at her and turned her head away.


    “The doctor emphasized the need for proper nutrition during treatment. If you don’t eat or drink, no one


    can help you. Mom—”


    “I’d rather die than live like this!” Cindy eximed.


    After a moment of silence, Maisie lowered her gaze and said, “What do you want from me? I’ve tried


    my best for you!”


    “Make Daniel get your brother out, and I’ll forgive you!”


    “Mom!”


    “Are you going or not?” Cindy suddenly sat up, ring at her. “If you don’t go, I won’t seek treatment! If

    I die, it’s because of you!”


    Maisie looked at her, fighting back tears.


    “You’re a famous writer now!” Cindy sneered. “If news spreads about a shameful incident where your


    mother dies because of you, let’s see who will buy your books!”


    Maisie trembled, feeling a chill creeping up inside her.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay

    In her memory, she seemed to have never experienced any familial love or warmth. Her mother had


    given most of her maternal affection to Owen, a little to Nicole, and nothing else left for Maisie.


    As a child, Maisie always thought her mother disliked her, believing it was her fault. She would try her


    best to be obedient, suppressing her true self and fulfilling her mother’s request.


    She desperately tried to earn her mother’s approval.


    Even when her mother had sent her to Daniel aspany for the sake of her brother’s treatment, she


    hadn’t uttered a word of dissent.


    Looking back, it all seemed absurd.


    There truly were mothers in this world who didn’t love their own children…


    Maisie steadied herself. “Mom, you can’t be unreasonable. Owen got involved in something he


    shouldn’t have and needs to go to rehab! He needs to face the consequences! I can’t change that!


    “Besides, he was the one who disclosed my whereabouts to Cam back then. He caused me—”


    “It’s about that child, isn’t it?” Cindy yelled like she was losing her mind. “Is an unborn brat more


    important than your brother?”


    Maisie was hysterical. “How could you say that? That’s my child! I not only miscarried but also risked


    my life! Mom, can’t you be fair?!”


    Her reaction frightened Cindy. She stared at her daughter for a while, then softened her tone. “Well… it


    was Owen’s fault, and I scolded him! Do you have to keep harping on it?”


    Cindy pursed her lips. “If you think about it, I think Owen helped you! You had no status with Daniel.


    Forck of better words, you were his ything… How were you going to take care of his child? You’d


    be criticized! If you ask me. It’s good that the child’s gone—”


    “Shut up!” Maisie couldn’t take it anymore. She lost control and mmed the ss in her hand on the


    floor, shattering it into pieces.


    Cindy looked at her in shock. The daughter in front of her was no longer the submissive little bunny.


    Her bloodshot eyes looked like they wanted to kill her.


    “You… You’re inhuman!” Maisie’s voice trembled, tears streaming down her face. “You don’t deserve to


    be a mother!”
