Chapter 349


    Cindy was ted to see the man in front of him.


    Samuel swept his gaze over Cindy and he said, “You look pretty.” “Really? Do you really think so?” Cindy


    was all dressed up with diamond ornaments. She resembled a butterfly as she twirled gleefully in front of


    Samuel.


    What followed after was Samuel frowning with displeasure as he said, “How can you go shopping


    when Keith is still in the hospital?”


    Cindy‘splexion turned pale. Immediately, she tried to exin, “Samuel, you’ve misunderstood! I‘m


    Keith‘s mother, so of course I‘m worried about him. But I‘m not a doctor. What can I do in the hospital?”


    “Besides, I can‘t help much by staying there. That‘s why I came outside to rx for a bit.” Samuel could


    care less about Cindy‘s clumsy exnation. “Follow me to the hospital right now.” He turned to leave.


    Cindy picked up the hem of her dress and trailed from behind quickly. Before she left, she turned and


    snarled at Tina, “It‘s all your fault that Samuel‘s angry now! You were the one who dressed me up like


    this! I won‘t give you a ride! Just walk back by yourself!”


    Tina was left standing alone as she watched them leave. Neither spared a second nce at her as they


    abandoned her.


    Tina couldn‘t care less about them. Now that both Samuel and Cindy had left, instant relief surged in


    her.


    Instead of going back to the vi, she went to the kindergarten to check on Kara.


    By now, the family–themed Sports Day had already begun. Tina could see the children in the


    kindergarten were all apanied by their parents as they engaged in different sports activities


    together. The mood in the kindergarten was warm and happy. In contrast, Kara cupped her cheeks as


    she sat forlornly in the corner. Seeing her daughter sitting alone, Tina was heartbroken. Even though she


    was just outside the kindergarten, she wouldn‘t dare attend the event with Kara.


    After all, Kara was now held hostage by Samuel. Without his permission, she wouldn‘t dare to approach


    Kara, even though they were literally just meters away from each other. However, Tina felt relieved when


    she noticed that nothing bad had happened to Kara. After she returned to the vi, she video–called her


    daughter through the phone. Kara said happily, “Mommy, I had a st at school today! It‘s a shame you


    couldn‘t attend the sports events with me.”


    “The teachers apanied me through the games, and I even won a lot of sweets! Mommy, when


    you‘re here, I‘ll give you half of what I earned today!”


    Thrilled to see her mother, Kara showed off the sweets she had in her hand.


    If it was under normal circumstances, Tina would‘ve felt happy for her daughter.


    However, Tina‘s eyes turned red when she heard Kara‘s words. When Tina was spying outside the


    kindergarten earlier that day, she saw everything clearly. Kara was just sitting there on the bench as she


    looked at her friends spending time with their parents, filled with jealousy.

    Still, she didn‘t throw a tantrum. She even pretended to be happy during their video call. Kara was still


    rambling on happily when she realized that her mother had been silent at the other end of the phone for


    far too long. Curious, she asked, “Mommy, why aren‘t you saying anything? Is it because of the bad


    inte connection?”


    Tina held back her tears and smiled. “Nothing‘s wrong with the connection. I want to hear more about


    your day!”


    Only when they hung up the phone did Tina cry out loud.


    Deep down, she knew she couldn‘t continue living like this anymore.
