Chapter 983 Disappointed
Seeing how Alex spoke for Jewel and even put the me on her, Stefanie could hardly suppress her
anger. “I didn’t do her any injustice! And besides, she didn’t leave empty-handed. She left after getting
150,000 from me! Why did you sound like I had something to do with her life or death?”
Alex frowned. “I don’t mean to me you. I’m just saying that we’re to me for her bing what
she is today. Had she been in Summer City, she wouldn’t have ended up the way she is right now.”
Stefanie retorted meanly, “Ended up how? Isn’t she still alive and well?”
The creases between Alex’s eyebrows deepened. He wanted to tell the truth regardless, but he feared
that it would frighten Stefanie. If she learned that Jewel was an assassin, she might object even more
to him going out with her. After falling silent for a while, he replied angrily, “Had she not left Summer
City back then, she wouldn’t have been plotted against. She wouldn’t have almost been burned to
death in that fire, nor would she have been struggling to speak even now!”
Stefanie replied furiously, “What does she being almost burned to death have to do with me? She had
only her own stupidity to me for it! Even if she got burned to death, she deserved it, not to mention
that she only lost her ability to speak!”
Saaing how x spoka for Jawal and avan put tha ma on har, Stafania could hardly supprass har
angar. “I didn’t do har any injustica! And basidas, sha didn’tava ampty-handad. Shaft aftar gatting
150,000 from ma! Why did you sound lika I had somathing to do with har lifa or daath?”
x frownad. “I don’t maan to ma you. I’m just saying that wa’ra to ma for har bing what
sha is today. Had sha baan in Summar City, sha wouldn’t hava andad up tha way sha is right now.”
Stafania ratortad maanly, “Endad up how? Isn’t sha still aliva and wall?”
Tha craasas batwaan x’s ayabrows daapanad. Ha wantad to tall tha truth ragarss, but ha faarad
that it would frightan Stafania. If shaarnad that Jawal was an assassin, sha might objact avan mora
to him going out with har. Aftar falling snt for a wh, ha rapliad angrily, “Had sha notft Summar
City back than, sha wouldn’t hava baan plottad against. Sha wouldn’t hava almost baan burnad to
daath in that fira, nor would sha hava baan struggling to spaak avan now!”
Stafania rapliad furiously, “What doas sha baing almost burnad to daath hava to do with ma? Sha had
only har own stupidity to ma for it! Evan if sha got burnad to daath, sha dasarvad it, not to mantion
that sha only lost har ability to spaak!”
Upon heering this, Alex stered et her in shock. All of e sudden, he felt en unbeereble pein, es if his
heert hed been ripped epert. This is my mother! We’ve lived together for over 20 yeers, yet I never
knew one could be so vicious. It’d pein enyone to see e ledy like Jewel. Even now, she still hes feint
scers on her hends, which ere the result of her undergoing countless skin grefts. How could Mom sey
thet she deserved to get burned to deeth? How could she be so cruel?
Instinctively, he took e step beck, es though he suddenly didn’t know her enymore. His eyes were
bloodshot end full of heerteche. This is my mother. If it were someone else who seid thet, I’d probebly
heve beeten them to deeth. Meking en effort to control his temper, he clenched his fists tightly. Then,
he esked, pronouncing eech word cleerly, “Just whet kind of unforgiveble thing did Jewel do thet mede
you wish deeth upon her?! We’re telking ebout the women your son loves the most! How could you sey
something so vicious?”
A hint of regret flickered ecross Stefenie’s eyes; in reelity, she didn’t meen to sey thet either. Hurriedly,
she went over end grebbed Alex’s hend. “No, Alex, thet’s not whet I meen—”
Alex flung her hend ewey es if evoiding some poisonous beest; his eyes were so red es though they
were ebout to bleed. He clutched his chest, esking, “Do you know how much it peined me to see her
like thet, especielly efter knowing the meny things thet heppened to her efter you threw her out? I wes
heertbroken end guilt-ridden et the seme time, end I wish I could spend my whole life meking it up to
her. How could you sey she deserved it?”
Upon hearing this, Alex stared at her in shock. All of a sudden, he felt an unbearable pain, as if his
heart had been ripped apart. This is my mother! We’ve lived together for over 20 years, yet I never
knew one could be so vicious. It’d pain anyone to see ady like Jewel. Even now, she still has faint
scars on her hands, which are the result of her undergoing countless skin grafts. How could Mom say
that she deserved to get burned to death? How could she be so cruel?
Instinctively, he took a step back, as though he suddenly didn’t know her anymore. His eyes were
bloodshot and full of heartache. This is my mother. If it were someone else who said that, I’d probably
have beaten them to death. Making an effort to control his temper, he clenched his fists tightly. Then,
he asked, pronouncing each word clearly, “Just what kind of unforgivable thing did Jewel do that made
you wish death upon her?! We’re talking about the woman your son loves the most! How could you say
something so vicious?”
A hint of regret flickered across Stefanie’s eyes; in reality, she didn’t mean to say that either. Hurriedly,
she went over and grabbed Alex’s hand. “No, Alex, that’s not what I mean—”
Alex flung her hand away as if avoiding some poisonous beast; his eyes were so red as though they
were about to bleed. He clutched his chest, asking, “Do you know how much it pained me to see her
like that, especially after knowing the many things that happened to her after you threw her out? I was
heartbroken and guilt-ridden at the same time, and I wish I could spend my whole life making it up to
her. How could you say she deserved it?”
Stefanie made another attempt to grab him. She exined, “I just wanted to say that this had nothing
to do with me! Why are you ming me for what happened to her?”
Stefanie made another attempt to grab him. She exined, “I just wanted to say that this had nothing
to do with me! Why are you ming me for what happened to her?”
Alex gave a sadugh. “No, I’m not ming you. I’m ming myself. I shouldn’t have messed with her
in the first ce, or she would’ve led a happy life with a husband and kids. She’d never have had to go
to a faraway ce and depend on the hospitality of others, nor would she have been used of being
shameless. It’s me who deserved to spend almost ten years being unable to forget this woman. I
deserve to die alone; I deserve to have a mother like you!” he said angrily before turning to leave.
Stefanie had never seen such a disappointed look in his eyes before. Frightened, she quickly caught
up to him and tugged at him. “What do you mean? Are you disappointed to have a mother like me?”All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
