Chapter 1347
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Tabitha didnât even recognize Carlos. When she saw him, she asked with asmile, âLewis, is that you?â
The name was like a sharp knife slicing the proud manâs heart to ribbons.
He stood still and thought, âThree years ago, when Debbie was first introduced to her, she was still the
elegant and graceful Tabitha. She was my mom. And she treated Debbie well, in contrast to the rest of
the family.
But James destroyed her. Day by day, he tortured her, mentally and physically. He broke her down bit
by bit. He even threw mud at her. And this is whatâs left.â
When Carlos didnât respond, Tabitha stood up and grabbed his hand. She had a hopeful expression on
her face.
âLewis, I made your favorite meal. Letâs go eat.â
Tristan really felt sorry for Carlos. He was a tough and strong CEO, but when he was around Tabitha,
he was just a son who wanted to be loved.

âCarlos loves Tabitha and sees her as a mother, yet all she cares about is Lewis.
Before flying to New York, Carlos asked Frankie to contact the best mental hospitals in Alorith. He had
the assistant exhaustively check out each facility until one met his exacting standards. He wants to take
her back to the city and even intends to help her get revenge on
James, â Tristan thought.
Tabithaâs reaction chilled his blood. She was really far gone.
Carlos, however, acted as if he didnât mind at all. He took her hand gently and said in a soft voice,
âMom, what did you cook?â
Tabitha led Carlos to her ward. The ward was very clean. It smelled of cleaning agent, and the acrid
smell hit his nostrils. The staff were in there every day, cleaning. At least you couldnât complain the
place was dirty.
When mother and son entered the ward, Tabitha regained her senses. She immediately released him
and said, âCarlos, you came.â
Carlos took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hand. He didnât Like other peopleâs
germs, and was particularly fastidious.
âOf course Iâm here. I want to take you to Alorith.â
âCarlos, Lewis came to visit me. His life sucks. Will you please help him out?â Tabitha asked with a
hopeful expression.
Carlos simply nodded, a dash of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
âThank you, Carlos. I really appreciate that.â
âYouâre too polite.â He then gestured to Tristan, who was standing close by. Tristan immediately opened
his briefcase and pulled out a stack of papers.
Carlos grabbed them and passed them to Tabitha without sparing a single glance at them.
âDivorce papers. Sign them.â
Tabithaâs face paled and she seemed to lose her composure and focus.
She became visibly frail. The old woman shook her head violently and murmured, âNo, not that. Lewis
will get hurt.â
âLewis again⦠All she cares about is her own son, â Tristan thought.
