Changing only for her (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Touch My People

“What are you doing, Mom? Now that my hand has turned out like this, how will I chase after Clayton in the future? Why don’t you think about me?” Willow begrudgingly ignored Josiah’s inaction, but she was still frustrated with her mother. Doesn’t she know her future depends on me?

Charmaine sighed resignedly. “Didn’t I tell you not to mess with Sophie, Willa? Why don’t you listen to me? You should already know she’s not someone we should piss off, so can’t you just leave her alone? Why did you still do that?”

The one thing rich families avoided the most was any form of flaw, and yet her hand had turned out like that.

One such example was the situation between Willow and Mason. Despite the Laird family’s status, with Mason being crippled, the Tanner family was reluctant to have Willow marry him.

Did she never think of this? With her hand being like this, what rich family would accept her as their daughter-in-law?

“What do I do, Mom? You can’t just ditch me! I’m your favorite daughter. You can’t leave me alone!” Willow was desperate. My hands can’t stay like this!

“What do you expect me to do?” It was a headache for Charmaine to deal with, too. “I wonder how Mason’s legs are doing right now. Willa, if Clayton doesn’t want you, Mason isn’t a bad choice.”

“What do you mean by that, Mom? Do you want me to marry a cripple? How can you say something like that? I’m your daughter!” In the past, Willow would’ve devoted herself to Mason.

However, since he had lost the ability to walk correctly, she found no reason to stay with him.

In her mind, if she got together with a cripple like Mason, she would become a joke in Jipsdale, and that was something she desperately didn’t want to happen.

Constance, who was at the hospital to visit Mason, coincidentally heard what Willow said. I always thought she was a good girl and would make a great daughter-in-law. It turns out she’s that kind of person!

She suddenly felt wobbly and couldn’t stand still. Thankfully, the driver behind her caught her in time.

The driver asked, “Are you all right, Mrs. Laird?”

“I must be truly blind in the past to think Willow was a good woman. How can a woman like her deserve to stay with Mason?” It was then she understood why Mason never liked Willow. It seems like my son has better and sharper eyes than me.

When Willow heard Constance’s voice, she turned around and saw the older woman standing behind her.

She didn’t expect Constance to hear her words. “Mrs. Laird, I—”

“You don’t need to say anything, Willow. Perhaps it was just my wishful thinking in the past, but it seems Mason doesn’t deserve you. Please don’t show up in front of us again.”

In the past, Constance wouldn’t have let Willow go. However, at that point, she no longer cared about Willow.

She had decided to channel all her efforts and thoughts into helping Mason to recover as soon as possible. Nothing else mattered to her anymore.

“Mrs. Laird, I—” Willow wanted to explain, but when she saw the older woman’s pale face, no words could find their way out of her mouth.

In the past, Constance did treat Willow very well because she hoped Willow would end up with Mason.

It was why Willow felt guilty for what she had said.

Constance ignored her and entered the ward. When she saw her son working hard to practice walking, tears poured out of her eyes.

The moment Mason turned to the entrance, he saw his mother crying. “What’s wrong, Mom? Why are you crying? Aren’t I doing fine?”
