"Yolanda? Were you waiting for Mommy here?"
Eliana Reed piled on an enthusiastic smile and hurried toward Yolanda Greenwood with her arms full of things.
Yolanda reflexively stepped back, alarm bells ringing throughout her body.
"What are you dodging for, child?"
Eliana put down the things and reached out to pull Yolanda toward her.
Yolanda dodged again, "What are you trying to do now?"
"I’m your mother. What could I possibly do?"
Eliana managed to squeeze out a few tears.
"Are you still angry with ? How’s your hand? Let Mom have a look."
Yolanda held her hand behind her back; she had been hurt too many tis to trust the person before her any longer.
"I don’t need you to worry about , if there’s nothing else, you can go back."
Eliana was stunned, it never occurred to her that after so long, this girl would still bear a grudge against her.
She tried to contain her emotions, "Yolanda, I’m your mother. There is no parent in the world who doesn’t make mistakes. Do you plan to be my enemy for life?"
Hearing Eliana say such things, Yolanda was almost amused by her anger.
"Indeed, there is no parent in the world who doesn’t make mistakes."
At these words, Eliana’s heart soared, "That’s right, let’s go. I’ll take you to the hospital to see your hand properly. No matter the cost, we must heal it."
Yolanda was slightly surprised; she didn’t expect Eliana to co for her hand.
Why though?
She certainly didn’t believe Eliana cared for her hand.
"No need, I’ll figure it out myself."
"What can you figure out?" Eliana’s tone beca sowhat anxious, "Cooper Coldson is divorcing you, you have no money in hand, and now you are out of a job, what can you do?"
She reached out to pull Yolanda again, "Hurry and co with to the hospital, let’s get your hand healed quickly."
Yolanda faintly sensed sothing, "Are you so eager to get my hand healed?"
"Of course." Eliana’s expression flickered unnaturally for a mont, "We can’t delay with your hand. Co with ."
"Why?" Yolanda couldn’t understand, "Who sent you? lissa Greenwood?"
"What are you thinking about now?" Eliana gradually lost her patience, "Hurry up, getting your hand healed is good for everyone."
Yolanda let out a bitter laugh.
She was almost certain it was lissa Greenwood.
Her expression turned completely cold, and she shrugged off Eliana.
"Eliana Reed, you’re right about one thing, there is no parent in the world who doesn’t make mistakes, but... so people... simply aren’t fit to be parents."
Eliana looked at Yolanda in disbelief, "What are you talking about?"
"Ask yourself, from the day I was born to now, have you ever fulfilled the responsibilities of a mother for even one day?"
Following the revelations about Eliana Reed and lissa Greenwood, Yolanda would recall the past whenever she was idle.
At six, Eliana bought Yolanda candy in exchange for her giving her favorite toy to lissa;
At ten, Eliana gave Yolanda her first drawing board, demanding that she give up the first prize in a drawing competition;
At sixteen, Eliana gave Yolanda a dress, which she later found out was one that lissa didn’t want;
...
At twenty-four, Eliana forced Cooper Coldson to marry Yolanda, which was also related to lissa.
From childhood to adulthood, every ti Eliana showed kindness, it was actually for the sake of lissa Greenwood.
"You’re talking nonsense!" Eliana was extrely aggrieved, "If I never fulfilled my duties as a mother, how did you grow up?"
Pointing at Yolanda’s nose, she scolded, "You ungrateful girl, I’m telling you, don’t take this for granted. Hurry to the hospital with , or you’ll really beco disabled and regret it for the rest of your life."
"Why should I regret it?" Yolanda sneered, "If I really beco disabled in the future, I will only hate you and lissa Greenwood for life. Even in death, I won’t let you two off as a ghost."
"You!" Eliana Reed was about to go mad.
"Better leave now, from now on, I have nothing to do with you or the Greenwood Family, not a single penny’s worth."
Yolanda Greenwood turned and walked away toward the complex, ignoring Eliana Reed’s madness behind her as if she hadn’t heard.
Eliana Reed made a fuss for a while, got bored with herself, and drove back.
On the road, she called lissa Greenwood to report the outco.
"lissa, that girl is just cheap, let’s not bother with her anymore."
"Did you not hear what Cooper Coldson said?" lissa Greenwood suddenly yelled on the other end of the phone.
Eliana Reed jumped in surprise.
"You’re really useless, a waste! Don’t call again!" lissa Greenwood hung up instantly.
Eliana Reed held the phone, completely dumbfounded.
Did lissa just call her... a waste? And said not to call anymore?
Her hands trembling, she imdiately redialed, but the call was ended.
Again and again, but it was always disconnected.
Then, she was blocked.
By the ti Eliana Reed ca back to her senses, she realized her face was covered in tears.
"Impossible, lissa wouldn’t ignore , impossible, she’s just angry, it’s nothing, nothing."
"It’s all Yolanda’s fault, that dead lowlife, if not for her, why would lissa be angry?"
She comforted herself softly, but the tears wouldn’t stop.
lissa Greenwood was indeed furious. Before, when Yolanda obeyed Eliana Reed, she hadn’t realized how useless Eliana was.
She was so grateful that Eliana had switched her with Yolanda, otherwise having such a mother, she might as well have hit her head and died.
She paced anxiously in the corridor, Yolanda’s hand needed to be treated quickly.
"lissa?" Gemma Morgan’s voice ca from behind, "What’s happened?"
lissa Greenwood’s thoughts raced, and her eyes imdiately reddened.
She walked over to help Gemma Morgan back to the room, "Mom, I’m so worried about Yolanda."
"What happened to Yolanda?" Gemma Morgan looked much more anxious than before.
lissa Greenwood bit her lip silently, Gemma was a fool, why did she care more about soone else’s daughter?
She wiped away her tears, "Yolanda previously attempted suicide, it hurt her wrist, she can’t draw anymore."
"That serious?" Gemma Morgan’s eyes reddened instantly, "The child loves to draw so much, how heartbroken she must be?"
"Mom, actually, if Yolanda sees a doctor quickly, she can still be treated."
lissa Greenwood looked increasingly aggrieved, "But she’s really resistant to the help from and Cooper, she refuses to accept treatnt."
"Ah!" Gemma Morgan sighed, "You can’t bla Yolanda, you two really did break her heart."
lissa Greenwood grew even angrier. She hadn’t expected Gemma not to criticize Yolanda for being unreasonable, but to bla her and Cooper instead, completely blind.
At this point, all she could do was to keep it in.
"Mom, no matter what, we want to help Yolanda."
lissa Greenwood seized the opportunity to speak up, "Mom, could you call Yolanda, just say you’ll take care of it, that you’ll help her with her hand, she definitely won’t refuse."
Gemma Morgan nodded, "Don’t worry, now that I know, I won’t just sit by, that child has suffered enough already, if she can’t draw anymore..."
She truly felt sorry for her.
Returning to the room, Gemma Morgan wanted to call Yolanda.
"Mom, let’s call her tomorrow." lissa Greenwood feared calling now might raise Yolanda’s suspicions, "It’s a bit late today."
Gemma Morgan was still sowhat anxious, "Then I’ll send her a ssage."
[Yolanda, do you have ti tomorrow? Could you co to the hospital to see your Eldest Aunt?]
