Nathan suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood and then collapsed to the ground.
Victoria called an ambulance for him. When the ambulance
left, the medical staff asked her, “Are you a family member of the patient? If so, please come with us. We may need you to sign some documents.”
Victoria glanced briefly at Nathan and without hesitation, decisively declined the request from the medical staff, saying, “Sorry, he and I are just ordinary friends.”
Then she wrote down a series of phone numbers for the medical staff, “If anything happens to him, you can contact this number.”
After saying that, Victoria left without even looking back.
This time, she left with a special determination.
She thought people were strange. Just a moment ago, she was crazy about him, but when she saw him disheveled and heard him push her away, all her burning love seemed to fade away like the ebbing tide.
Gone without a trace.
“Nathan, from now on, take care of yourself.”
She wanted to live for herself once in the future.
She finally realized that individuals are independent.

When Victoria returned home, her aged mother was sitting in a wheelchair, with her hair now completely white and her appearance as frail as a centenarian. Along with the physical decline, the elderly woman became even more stiff and rigid, resembling a motionless puppet from a distance. Only her aged and cloudy eyes still emitted a faint glimmer, symbolizing the little remaining vitality she had left.
“Xiner, I have been feeling restless and suffocated lately, and my body is very uncomfortable. I think my time is running out. Can you please inform your sister and ask her to come and see me?” Victoria’s mother said incoherently.
Victoria’s face revealed a hint of impatience as she said, “Mom, how many times do I have to tell you? She stopped recognizing you as her mother a long time ago. Give up on this idea.”
Perhaps due to dementia, Victoria’s mother had forgotten how she had pushed Isabella away. She only remembered Isabella’s childhood, when Isabella was so obedient and would do whatever she asked. She was extremely filial to her.
Victoria’s mother looked at Victoria in front of her again. The look in her daughter’s eyes was always filled with disdain. She wouldn’t even take care of her three meals a day, only
ordering takeout for her. Sometimes when she was starving, she would eat the cold leftovers.
Compared to the obedient and filial Isabella, she was simply not filial at all.
Victoria’s mother felt a deep sense of disappointment in her eyes and muttered, “You lied to me. Bella was the most well- behaved and filial. How could she not come to see me?”

Then her aged face turned cold and sinister, “Is it you who prevented her from coming to see me?”
What else did she think of, she muttered to herself, “No, no, no, she must be too busy, she has to go pick up trash to earn money, so she can buy me delicious hot buns. She also has to sneak into school to learn, she said when she grows up, she will make me many beautiful clothes. She doesn’t have time to come see me, right?”
Victoria stared, she had strongly felt that her mother’s condition was off today. Her dementia seemed to have
worsened.
She tried to recall her memory, “You’re mistaken. That was all years ago. She is doing well now, she married the man who loves her the most in this world. She has become the wealthiest female CEO in the Capital, and she still has her loving father to take care of her. Her present days are as happy as a princess.”
“She didn’t come to see you because she didn’t love you anymore.”
Victoria’s mother struggled to stand up from her wheelchair and shouted excitedly, “You lied to me! If she is doing so well, how can she not support me? I raised her, without me, where would she be?”
Victoria saw her own reflection in the resentment on Victa’s mother’s face.
Isabella was doing well, but her mind was twisted.
She was jealous of her beauty and jealous of her ability to marry such a good man.

Jealousy crawled out of the mud and stood at the top.

She attempted to shatter her mother’s demonic jealousy, “You raised her? Are you even able to say that with a straight face? How did you raise her?”
“You used to lie at home every day, barely alive, while making the young girl go out and beg. You even swallowed the huge alimony that her father gave, causing her to live a life of poverty since childhood.”
“Do you know that she is now the most powerful woman in the Capital? But she absolutely hates you.”
Victoria’s mother’s struggle gradually came to an end. She also reflected on her past actions and shed tears of regret.
“It’s all because of you…” she glared at Victoria and spoke the most sober words of her life, “If I had known you were so unreliable, I wouldn’t have placed all my bets on you back then.”
“You said, if I had been a little nicer to her, I would be enjoying my life now. I was wrong. I truly had no foresight.”
Victoria stared wide–eyed, in that moment, her body felt as if it had been eroded by ice currents.
Her body trembled. In this world, every person who loved her eventually regretted loving her. Whether it was Nathan, who once doted on her endlessly, or Victoria’s father, who nurtured her as she grew up, or even Victoria’s mother, who favored her… in the end, they all regretted loving her.
This ending made Victoria break down.

She suddenly covered her ears and shouted, “Ah, since I am so bad, why did you give birth to me? Giving birth to a child with a congenital illness, have you ever thought that this is my disaster?”
Victoria’s mother stared at her blankly, as if she had forgotten what had just happened. Concerned as usual, she asked Victoria, “Xiner, what’s wrong with you?”
“Are you feeling unwell again?”
Victoria saw the genuine concern on her face and couldn’t help but shed tears.
“You all loved me, and you all didn’t love me.”
“That’s it, this was my fate.”
She took out her phone and found Thea’s phone number. After a moment of hesitation, she sent a pre–recorded video to Thea.
Then she held her phone, feeling a bit nervous as she waited for Thea to reply to her text message.
She didn’t understand where this tension came from, perhaps she had subconsciously realized that Thea and she were no longer in the same social class. Someone as superior as Thea should look down on her when talking to her.
Time was passing slowly.
But the phone remained silent.
Victoria stared at her phone screen, not believing for a moment that Thea would simply ignore the text message. After all, Thea had always had a tendency to show her true

colors as a person from the lower class. Whenever Victoria’s mother showed her a little kindness, Thea would eagerly come running.
Victoria firmly believed that once she sent the video of Victoria’s mother confessing to Thea, Thea would come rushing over. Perhaps this kind of Virgin Mary would even forgive Victoria’s mother and serve her.
Victoria unfurled a scroll of fantasy, her imagination running wild, but in the end, she did not receive a response from Thea.
Victoria was completely dumbfounded.
Could it be that she did not receive her message?
The other side.
When Thea received Victoria’s text message, she had just walked out of the civil affairs bureau.
