Chapter 223 It was all her fault

It's all because of her.

Old Mrs. Reed was pained. No matter how strong she was in front of outsiders, she was now nothing more than a mother who had lost her daughter.

"It's been more than twenty years, but Rafael never came back to me, and I never heard from him. Do you think she's dead?"

Whatever it was, old Mrs. Reed's shaky voice was a reality she did not want to face.

But if Raphael was still out there, why wouldn't he be looking for her?

That's why she wanted to go back and see her, because she couldn't believe her daughter was gone.

And this time she had a strange feeling that she was on the verge of finding her daughter.

The most important thing was that she was getting older now, and she wanted to go back to the place she used to know.

Even if it means remembering your own daughter.

'If my daughter had been around, my granddaughter would have been about the same age.'

"I just want to see her, even if she doesn't want to forgive me for being a mother."

Tears covered old Mrs Reed's eyes.

Miss her daughter, let her heart is more and more pain.

Is it true that her daughter is dead?

The old housekeeper took out a handkerchief and said, "Old lady, don't be sad. Your health is the most important thing now, and my lady has always been so kind and respectful to you that she won't blame you."

"I hope so."

Old Mrs. Reed's eyes were full of fatigue. "I just want to stay here for a few days and have a good rest, and help me reject all my engagements."

"Yes, old lady."

"You go out first. I want to be alone at home."

The old housekeeper nodded and went out at once.

On his way out, he closed the door carefully.

RON's Manor.

When Bert was all right, they all went back to the hall together.

Sophie's not doing so well. She's a vegetable.

In order to take better care of Sophie, Burt spent a lot of money on a special ward, complete with all the equipment, and brought in a team of professional doctors.

The teams, the medical equipment is state of the art.

And to prevent that from happening, Burt replaced these teams of doctors with ones he raised himself.

He would never have allowed that to happen before.

The doctors examined Sophie carefully every day, just in case anything went wrong.

Burt had already said that if there was anything wrong with the children, they wouldn't have to live.

So everyone felt afraid, but did not dare to refute, can only tremble every day.

But the only good thing is, they're getting paid several times what they used to.

Bane and NORTON are also in the house every day. Bane is distressed to see him in a depressed mood every day, but he does not know what to do.

Ever since he found out what happened to his sister, NORTON has been very quiet. He's so young, she means so much to him, and he just can't cope with something like this.

Now, Bain noticed, NORTON was becoming calmer and calmer, and when he wasn't smiling, he was like a miniature Bert.

She did not know whether it was good or bad. She only knew that it hurt her heart to see her child like this.

NORTON has a slight smile on his lips when he sees his mommy but when he sees Bert, his face drops.

Bane knew the boy was blaming his father.

But she did not help Bert, and even she sometimes blamed him.

And Burt told him to stay out of it.

Later, Burt calls NORTON into his study for what appears to be a long talk, and NORTON appears to soften his tone.

But when it comes to his own father, he still says very little.

Bane took it all in.

"Bert, NORTON is a child. Don't be angry with him."

Bane went into the study and looked at Bert.

She worried that Burt would think he cared, that NORTON was rude.

After all, that's what a normal family would feel, especially one like Bert.

"How could I be angry with my own son?"

Bert stroked her hair gently, and a faint scent came from the tip of his nose.

When he wasn't angry, Bane was less worried.

"He'll get over it soon enough."

Bert nodded.

"In fact, it might be a good choice for him to grow up faster."

Bane paused, not understanding him.

"He's my Bert's son, and it's only going to be so much more. He must grow up fast, or he won't grow up to be anything like this."

"Bert?

Bane was pained, she wanted to say. He was only a child.

Bert sat her on his lap.

"I can't help it, Bane. I know you love the boy, but he's My Bert's son and he's got to suffer, and you don't want him to be stuck in danger."

Bane lowered his head. "I know all that, but when I see a child so young, I feel like..."

Always feel reluctant.

If it's a kid from another family, I don't know where they're falling out with their friends over a toy right now.

But now NORTON doesn't smile at all. He looks like a serious little adult all the time.

"It will be all right."

Bert's words were not comforting.

But Bane has learned to force himself to think that, and, yeah, it's gonna be fine.

In fact, she was very clear in her heart, even if the heartache is useless, with Bert's personality, he will not relent.

Just because he was Burt's son, heir to the Rowan Empire, he had to go through this.

If he grew up under his wing, he's not gonna live long.

He came all the way, and no one knew the danger better than he did.

Bert said nothing more, except that NORTON had scolded and complained about his father when he came to the study.

But in the end, he only said one sentence: "Only the weak will complain about the injustice of fate and blame others for not doing well when they meet things."

Because of what he said.

The smile fades from NORTON's lips. He loses both innocence and anger.

There's just a deep sense of powerlessness.

Yeah, because he wasn't strong enough to protect his sister.
