Chapter 1862
When Love Comes Late
Bella looked at Tyron and asked, âAs a doctor, is this how you treat your patients?â
Seeing Bellaâs displeasure, Tyron quickly pleaded, âBella, Elizabeth made me do it!â
If this got out, his career would be completely ruined.
Now, he was desperate to clear his name.
Seeing Tyron trying to shift the blame, Elizabeth immediately objected, saying, âYouâre lying! You were willing to do it! You couldnât have been happier when you received the money! How dare you try to disown your responsibility now? In your dreams!â
âElizabeth, why play innocent? Didnât you approach me first to get medication for your mother? And now youâre turning on me?â
âThatâs not true!â Elizabeth turned to Bella and pleaded, âMom, this immoral doctor d
eceived me.
He told me you would get better if you took these pills.
I believed they were beneficial for your health, but I didnât realize he was lying to me!â
Hearing this conversation made Bella feel even more desperate.
She couldnât believe Elizabeth was still refusing to acknowledge her mistakes, still trying to deceive her.
If she hadnât witnessed it herself today, she might have continued to give Elizabeth the benefit of the doubt out of compassion.
Memories flooded back to Bella.
Elizabeth had always played the innocent to gain her sympathy.
How many lies had Elizabeth told her over the years?
The more Bella reflected on the past, the deeper her disappointment grew.
She felt as if she had never truly known her daughter.
Seeing Elizabethâs unremorseful behavior shattered any remaining affection Bella felt for her.
With a stern expression, she commanded, âLeave now.
Go back to Dorburn immediately.
From this day forward, I donât want to see you again!â
After saying this, Bella turned away, unwilling to even glance at Elizabeth any longer.
âNo, Momâ¦â Elizabeth protested.
âI wonât go back.
You canât do this to me!â
All Elizabeth was after was Bellaâs wealth.
What Bella had just said felt like a firm statement that Elizabeth would never achieve her goal.
âMom, Iâve looked after you for so long.
I really do care about you.
Canât you see that? How can you send me away just on the few words of an outsider?â
In the past, Bella might have been swayed by such words.
But having seen Elizabethâs harsh and indifferent behavior, she realized that it was all just an act.
âMom, donât you remember how much you used to love me? Iâm your only daughter.
You didnât really mean what you said a moment ago, right?â
Elizabeth continued to beg and cry, trying to sway Bella with emotional appeals to family ties.
Yet Bellaâs eyes showed only pain, without any hesitation.
