Amy was comforting Cathy. Cathy had always been favored in her family. After marrying to Halbert, she was also spoiled by Halbert. But now, she suddenly encountered such a thing. Even if she was smart, she did not know what to do.
"Mom, trust dad. You just come back and will know the truth. I heard that Addy has used some tricks to get pregnant and give birth to two sons." Amy reminded Cathy.
Cathy was too eager at that time. Hearing Amy's reminder, she just remembered it. The Carters all knew this matter.
"You are right. How could I have forgotten about it? Thank you, Amy. I was so angry with them. How could I not trust Halbert? He's just gotten better. I..." Cathy had not gone to see Halbert when he was in the hospital because she had quarreled with him.
This time, she went back to see him. But she didn't expect to see such a thing. So, she got angry.
After being enlightened by Amy, Cathy felt much better and thanked Amy.
"Mom, it's been so many days. Why does Cathy not take any actions? Why doesn't she fight with Halbert? Now, it's quiet." Addy had been waiting for a long time. But Grandma Eva hadn't kept her promise to her. Her patience finally snapped and she felt that she really wasted all her efforts to serve this old woman for so many years.
"I am also puzzled about this. With her character, she should have fought with Halbert. But she has not taken any action. Did she know our tactics?" Grandma Eva thought that Cathy might have known what they had done. After all, they had used the same tactics three times.
"Mom, you ask me to put up with it. I've put up with it for so many years. How long do I have to put up with it? I'm old and over 50 years old, and getting ugly. How can Halbert come back to me?" Addy felt desperate.
"Don't worry, Addy. I will find a way recently. I will definitely solve it." Grandma Eva was also anxious. She was more and more ignorant of the people in this family. She could not control what they were thinking in their hearts. In her absence these years, they were in love with each other as a family, which made Grandma Eva unable to do what she wanted.
Addy was disappointed with Grandma Eva. It had been more than 30 years. Grandma Eva did not allow her to remarry and let her serve her. She had been here for so many years, but Halbert did not even look at her.
Her sons also let her down and were controlled by Richard. Thinking of this, Addy got angrier.
The Carters were targeting her and her sons. It was all because of Cathy. If it weren't for Cathy, even if Halbert wouldn't have touched her, she would have seen him every day. But now, it was even an extravagant hope for her to look at him.
"Mom, I don't want to wait any longer. You have been lying to me all these years and let me wait for Halbert. But look at Halbert. He didn't even look at me. That day, he just smelled it in bed and knew I was not Cathy. Even though he was drunk and drugged, he didn't touch me." Addy hated Grandma Eva more and more.
"No, he will come back to you. Addy, you are a good woman. I'll come to him right away!" As soon as Grandma Eva heard that Addy was already angry with her, she panicked. Who else but Addy would be so nice to her?
With that, Grandma Eva went upstairs to find Halbert. She wanted to ask him to be responsible for Addy. She had to make Halbert change his mind and accept Addy again.
