After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1104
Cynthia didn't answer him immediately.
Peter continued, "Cynthia, we're completely out of options."
"My wife's illness really demands a fortune. If one person in a family gets a major illness, it can drag the whole household back into poverty."
"We weren't well-off to begin with. When we were younger, we could work odd jobs for extra cash, but now we're old and can't do that anymore. Jeremy and the others run the Anchor & Oyster, but business is stagnant. We truly don't have a dime to spare."
"I know it's shameless and despicable of us to ask you and Isabella for money now, but we're out of options. If we had any other way, we wouldn't be thick-skinned enough to keep pestering you."
As Peter spoke, his voice grew thick with emotion. "Those medical bills are an astronomical number to us. We made mistakes, yes, but we are still Isabella's grandparents. Can you really bear to watch us die in poverty?"
"Can you watch her grandmother go home to wait for death just because we can't afford her treatment?"
"It's entirely our fault, and we regret it more than words can say. Back in the day, you were such a dutiful daughter-in-law to us. We didn't appreciate you, and we treated you like an outsider."
"We bullied you two and committed such heinous acts. It's only right that you hate us."
"But... Cynthia, when my eldest son was alive, he was the most devoted son to us. You two had such a wonderful marriage. If he knew from the grave that his parents were in such dire straits and his wife and daughter just stood by and did nothing, his heart would break."
Peter wept over the phone.
If his eldest son hadn't died, they wouldn't have made such a catastrophic mistake and broken the hearts of their daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
If things were different, they might be enjoying a luxurious life alongside Isabella right now.
If they hadn't plotted to sell off their daughter-in-law and granddaughter to seize the estate, even if Cynthia had remarried, Isabella wouldn't harbor such intense hatred for them.
There was no cure for regret in this world.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
