Chapter 347


    Hearing that, Yvette was puzzled. "Mom, isn’t Mark your favorite? Why won''t you let hime, don’t


    you miss him?"


    "I do, but I can''t let him visit. He must have worn himself out during the three years in Athana. You must


    help him recuperate and let him have more rest."


    "Mark can’t be as weak as you, could he? Don''t worry too much, you rest well."


    "The three years in Athana had really worn Mark out..."


    "Mom, like I said, you pampered Mark too much; believe it or not, which of your words are not trying to


    defend him?"


    "If I don''t defend or pamper him, who else will do it?"


    At this, Ms. Moore raised her voice and continued,


    "When Mark was in Athana for over a year, he was searching every day for doctors and surgeons who


    could cure Raine''s face. But as Raine was recovering, I felt unwell and was sent to Athana to treat my


    cerebral hemorrhage. Mark hadbored to care for me and had not rested. 1


    When I was in aa for three months, he stayed by my side to care for me. Although I awoke after


    the surgery, my body condition was awful, yet Mark remained by my side.


    Then the economic crisis hit Athana; the headquarters in Athana experienced great turbulence, and


    there were cases of disloyalty; although thepany didn''t suffer heavy losses, the stakeholders were


    restless and were at loggerheads with Mark. Did you know how stressful it was to have only a few


    hours of rest a day...”


    Yvette remained silent; Mark had indeed suffered a lot.


    "and you were not at all reliable. You spent less than five days in Athana and returned home because


    you couldn''t adapt. Your father had a fractured leg and had limited mobility, but Mark handled all the


    I''ve lost hope in both you and Ronald; I was warded for such a long time, yet never once did he visit


    me. How busy could he possibly be? Was he only going to see m e at my funeral?" 1


    Yvette couldn''t take her words anymore. "Mom, what are all these, and why are they such ugly words?"


    "You didn’t do a good job, yet u still dare to condemn m e? At such a crucial moment, I couldn''t even


    depend o n my daughter or son-inw; all I could rely on was m y grandson!"


    "I had a hard time trying to get ustomed to Athana, and I was constantly unwell because of that;


    Ronald was busy at work, and you know it. Why do you need t o lose your temper?"

    "Busy? I think he won''t even have time to attend my funeral when I die!" 1


    Ms. Moore hung up immediately after letting out her anger.


    Yvette sat there exasperatedly, but she knew her mother was concerned about Mark''s health; thus, she


    and Maria went out together to buy some food and supplements.


    On the other side.


    Gordon observed his panting wife. His stern face looked exasperated. He patted her on the back gently


    t o help her breathe better. "What''s the point of making yourself angry?"


    "How can I not be angry? While I spent such a long time ina, my son-inw had not visited me


    even once!"


    "Alright, alright. Don''t let yourself be angered anymore. You had just recovered; if your anger causes


    you to fall ill again, I will be deeply hurt!”


    Gordon had not eaten well while she was in aa; while watching her in her unconscious state, he


    felt a n emptiness in his life.


    "You''re already so old, how can you still be making such cringy statements?" Ms. Moore calmed herself


    down, but she still felt disappointed.


    As a mother who had been bedridden for more than a year, not only didn''t her son-inw visit her at all,


    even her daughter had defended him, how could she not be disappointed?
