Chapter 909
Though Eleanor harbored doubts, she forwent further contestation, merely offering a slight mod in
response
Noting Eleanor’sck of retaliation, Wendy caught the cue and ceased to provoke Bernard Mustering
her strength, she waved Eleanor closer.
“Would you mind drawing near so I can see you clearly?”
Up until this juncture, aside from Robin stationing his bodyguard at the door, and Wendy’s fruitless
endeavors to unsettle Bernard, Eleanor had remained unscathed.
This resulted in a ripple of perplexity washing over the pair What was Wendy’s endgame?
After exchanging querying looks, Eleanor and Bemard, still hand in hand, approached Wendy’s
bedside and perched themselves down.
Wendy, glossing over Bernard, stretched out her rugged, trembling hands towards Eleanor’s visage.
“I always believed Emilia bore a striking resemnce to your mother, but it seems you mirror her even
more distinctly..
Her rough fingertips brushed against Eleanor’s face, making her ufortable. She turned her head
slightly aside
“What do you want from me?”
Stop trying to manipte me with family ties. Can you just spit out what you’re after? Why this
performance?
Wendy’s gaze seemed to casually slide over Bernard’s face before she nonchntly reached for
Eleanor’s hand.
“I just wanted to see you onest time. Now that I have, I’m satisfied…”
Despite this, Wendy’s words were still baffling Was she really just wanting to see her once?
As Eleanor questioned, Wendy gently patted her hand and said with deep sincerity:
“I’m sorry for your mother’s death. I’ve always wanted to apologize to her, but never had the chance.
So, I found you, hoping to make amends, so I won’t leave any regrets or guilt after I die”
On hearing this. Eleanor frowned slightly. “Did you kill my mother?”
Wendy shook her head regretfully “I didn’t harm her. She came to me for money when she was
pregnant, and I turned her down. I could’ve lent her the money, but my parents wouldn’t allow it. They
warned that anyone who lent Vanya money would get their legs broken. The Pine family rules were
strict, nobody dared to defy my parents..
As Wendy spoke, her eyes didn’t seem as gloomy but rather filled with regret. Eleanor also felt she
wasn’t lying.
But she couldn’t ept this apology on her mother’s behalf, all she could do was sit there, with a
complicated look on her face, watching the pale woman on the bed. Wendy held Eleanor’s hand tight,
as if she was holding onto Eleanor’s mother, and didn’t let go. “Vanya and I were only a year apart, we
were like sisters But I was too obedient to my parents, refusing to lend her money, which led directly to
her death. Each time I think of it, I feel immense guilt and can’t sleep…”
With this, she looked into Eleanor’s eyes, tears welling up. “Kid, I’m sorry for your mother. This is also
why I sent my son to find you to make up for past regrets. Don’t overthink it…
Sensing Bernard’s awareness of the truth, Wendy chose her words with candidness, void of any
deceptive undertones. Eleanor, however, wasn’t quick to swallow the bait “The person is gone, seeking
out her daughter to apologize seems pointless, doesn’t it?”
Wendy aimed to disarm her, but Eleanor was neither frail nor naive, eager to uncover Wendy’s
authentic motives. The girl was sharper than her mother, yet there’s always a key to a puzzle Actually,
apart from expressing my remorse to her daughter, I seek to borrow something from her…”
Witnessing Wendy veering to the crux, Eleanor scoffed in bemusement. “One minute you’re on about
amends, the next you wish to borrow from me. Doesn’t that seem rather inconsistent?”

Wendy shook her head, negating the im. I intend topensate. I own a 30% stake in the Pine
estate, which will bequeath to you upon my demise. It will be enshrined in my will. As for the borrowing
I simply require a sample of your blood for an examination…
At this, a crease of confusion furrowed Eleanor’s brow, “An examination for what?”
