    Chapter 1886


    “But how did he know that my mother was in this hospital room?”


    Ellinor harbored a deep animosity toward her father, especially on behalf of her mother, who had been


    deeply wounded by him.


    “He really has the audacity to show up in front of my mom again! Bertha, rest assured, there won’t be a


    next time!”


    Absolutely not!


    Once Baber was discharged, and things settled down here, she would confront McNeil and warn him.


    Yet, Bertha sighed again, “Ellinor, do you think your mother’s heartache will cease simply by not seeing


    your father? All these years, Marlinie has been wandering around, never truly happy!


    One reason is the loss of you. She believes she failed to protect you and caused your death. The other


    is heartbreak!


    She despises your father, that’s certain. But if there had never been love, how could such profound


    hatred arise?


    When your mother first fled the Howard family, she was barely in her thirties. With her charm, she had


    plenty of men courting her wherever she went. However, she never paid attention to any of them. Why


    do you think that is?”


    Ellinor pondered Bertha’s words seriously, “Maybe because she was hurt too deeply, she lost faith in


    love.”


    Bertha nodded, “There is that factor, but I believe the main reason is that she never forgot your father.


    In her eyes, no one could measure up to him. That’s why she never epted anyone’s affection, giving


    no chance to others.”


    Ellinor faltered, “Bertha, are you saying… my mom… still loves McNeil?”


    Bertha replied, “That’s what I believe. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so agitated when McNeil


    appeared in front of her just now. No matter how traumatic the past was, almost two decades have


    passed, things should have calmed down. But your mother hasn’t moved on. All these years, it’s as if


    she’s been trapped in a cycle, unable to escape.”


    Ding!


    The elevator doors opened, and Bertha slowly walked out.


    Ellinor followed Bertha’s steps thoughtfully, “Bertha, what do you suggest we do to help my mother


    move on?”


    Bertha said, “The day your mother can see your father without bing agitated, when she can face


    him calmly, that’s when she will have truly moved on. Otherwise, even if you forbid your father from


    seeing your mother, she won’t get better. She’ll just hide her pain and pretend to forget”


    Ellinor’s eyes darkened slightly, as if she understood, “But I believe that man is not worth another


    moment of my mother’s affection!” Bertha turned her head, looking gently at Ellinor, “Ellinor, you’ve


    deeply loved a man. You should understand that feeling. Often in matters of the heart, it’s not about


    what others think is worth it, but what the person involved thinks. Your mother has never let go of your


    father, and judging from how he acted when he saw your mother just now, I believe your father has


    never let go of her either. If there’s a misunderstanding between them, helping them clear it will be


    beneficial, don’t you think?”


    Ellinor furrowed her brows in contemtion.


    Yes, Bertha was right!


    McNeil never let go of her mother, evident from the care he took of the flowers her mother once
