I could almost guess what she was going to say next. Seeing that she was looking at me, she said with a faint smile, "You can probably guess what happened. My mother is old and her health has not been good. It was impossible for her to provide my brother with her bone marrow, let alone my father. A lot of years have passed, it is obvious that he no longer regarded us as his own children."
"Is it because you're pregnant?" I could basically guess it. Since they were out of choice, Rowane was their only hope. If not, they would not even dare to face Rowane.
She nodded, "Yeah, at that time, I was having a hard time. Moreover, since I was pregnant at an advanced age, giving birth to the child was already a problem, not to mention extracting the bone marrow. So later, my mother found Rowane's foster parents. But I did not expect my mother would go to extremes. She begged Rowane's foster parents for a long time, but after all, Rowane was a child who they had brought up. How could they bear to hurt Rowane? Her foster parents disagreed with Rowane's surgery. Later, my mother went to their company building and was ready to threaten them with death. But because of my mother, to avoid hitting her, Rowane's father reversed his car and crashed into another car; he died on the spot."
I was stunned. I almost could not believe it. I stopped at the traffic lights and looked at her. I almost had nothing to say. After a long time, I said, "I can understand why Rowane hates you so much. Really!"
Abandoning the responsibility of raising her was enough sin. But since her daughter had a good home that she belonged to and a new family who loved her, why was she so greedy to the point that she had to hurt her? It was really disgusting.
Eugene took a breath, bowed her head, and said with a bitter smile, "I also know that our family owes her too much. She should hate us, but that is her biological mother after all; she is just a slow-witted person."
I looked at her and suddenly felt that we could not judge people merely by their appearance. I used to think that Andrea, Chloe, and Valerie were bad too.
