Never Late, Never Away Chapter 463
She had hoped to see Evelyn get married, bear children, and live a happy life. However, all this was obviously out of her reach now.
“Mom, where did you go today? I couldn’t find you anywhere,” Vivian asked Rachel in a probing manner. However, she didn’t look worried at all.
When she heard Vivian’s voice, Rachel quickly turned away as she tried to wipe her tears away discreetly. After that, she turned back with a smile. “I didn’t go anywhere. I was just bored so I have decided to take a walk.”
Not exposing her lie, Vivian looked at Rachel’s eyes and asked, “Mom, why were you crying just now?”
“Huh? No, I wasn’t.” Rachel quickly lowered her head to rub her eyes. “I just had some sand in my eye. I wasn’t crying for goodness’ sake. Why would I cry all of a sudden?” Rachel forced a smile. However, in Vivian’s eyes, the smile was as fake as it could possibly be.
Enduring the turmoil in her heart, Vivian held Rachel’s hand. “Mom, can you tell me where your biological daughter is? You cannot delay treatment any further. Or else, you will be putting your life at risk.”
Rachel couldn’t help but feel infuriated when Vivian insisted on finding out. She retracted her hand and raised her voice, “I told you to stop asking me about it as I won’t tell you. I’ve decided not to treat my illness and my decision is final. It’s my body and it’s none of your business.”
Staring at Rachel, Vivian couldn’t help but feel aggrieved. Despite how much she cared about Rachel and the fact that she treated her as her own mother, Rachel was angry at her instead.
While at the Morrison residence, Rachel was gentle and all smiling toward Evelyn despite her contemptuous attitude. It looks like there is a big difference in her attitude just because I’m not her biological daughter?
