Chapter 572
When There Is Nothing Left But Love
To me, giving birth to a child and not raising her properly was already a sin. Now that the child had
grown up and started a new life with a partner and a new family, why would the biological mother still
want to hurt her?
Isabelle took a deep breath and smiled wryly, âI know we did her wrong in so many ways, and I donât
blame her for hating us, but sheâs still her biological mother.â
I could not believe what I heard. I used to think women like Cameron, Rebecca, and Kristina, were evil,
but Isabelleâs family sent chills down my spine.
I looked at her and smiled, âThere are people whom I find pathetic and despicable. Do you know who
they are?â
She looked at me but kept mum.
I started driving when the traffic light turned green. I looked at the road and said, âRachel has been very
kind to your family. I would have adopted a far crueller approach if I were in her shoes.â
Isabelle was taken aback as she did not expect I would say something like that.
I continued, âThere are people who are born poor, but it has nothing to do with money. Theyâre just poor
in spirit and donât know what it means to be humans.
âLike you and your mom, who had committed the worst crime ever by ending her childrenâs lives. Yet,
she never thought what she did was wrong.
âRachel should count herself lucky to have escaped from such a terrible family and found herself
parents who cherished her and took good care of her.â
âAnd what did you all do? You came into her life and destroyed her happiness. Her father was the man
who rescued her from hell, yet your mother killed him,â I said, âAnd your mother seems to be very
proud of what she has done. She thinks sheâs doing this out of love for his son.
âIt was as if she had forgotten Rachel, too, was her child.â
Isabelle lowered her head and cried. She said in between sobs, âWe had no choice. My brother would
die if she refused to donate her bone marrow. Weâre a family. Itâs her duty to rescue her brother!â
Her remark bemused me, and I instantly let out a cold snort. âSince when it was Rachelâs duty to
rescue your brother? Has your mother even done her part in raising her?
âHave you all tried finding her in the past? No. You only appeared and blackmailed her emotionally just
because you needed her help. If this is not selfish, I donât know what else is.â
I parked my car by the road and tried to contain my anger. âYou know what your mother did was wrong,
yet you still side with her. How could you, Isabelle?â
Isabelle nodded in silence. She responded after a short pause, âBut I didnât know what else to do
anymore.â
âTalk to Rachel nicely, if possible. If not, stay away from her and stop making her life miserable,â I
advised.
âBut my brotherâ¦â Isabelleâs eyes turned red, âHeâll die if he doesnât undergo the operation!â
âBut why put the pressure on Rachel? Isnât there anyone else whoâs related to your brother? Shouldnât
you be looking for your father in the first place?â I could not understand this family.
She lowered her eyes and sighed. âWeâve lost touch for years, and my mother was afraid that he might
not be able to take it as heâs not young anymore.â
I looked at her and soon realized this issue was much more complicated than I thought.
I thought what they did to Rachel was cruel and despicable, but I bet Isabelle would think otherwise. To
her, it was Rachelâs responsibility to save her brother since they were related by blood.
Rachel must be utterly disappointed with how foolish her biological parents were and how Isabelle
condoned their actions.
I was afraid I might explode with rage if I were to continue this topic with Isabelle.
So, I decided not to talk about it anymore.
Isabelle and I arrived at the restaurant. Instead of focusing on Rachelâs hapless fate, we talked about
other things and
had a pleasant dinner.
Isabelle left after dinner, and I decided to stay in the restaurant a little longer.
Ashton called and said he wanted to pick me home, so I thought I might as well sit here and wait for
him.
All of a sudden, Cameron and Zachary came into the premises. There were only a few famous high-
end restaurants in K City, so I was not surprised to see them here.
