Chapter 206 Her Heart Melts
Without uttering a single word, Willow stared at her mother with a stubborn look.
“You’ve rarely been ill-treated since you were a child. Sophie did go a little overboard today,” Charmaine comforted.
It broke her heart to see Willow fall sick and lost her voice after staying in the bathroom for the entire night.
“You should eat something before sleeping. I’ve already called the doctor, so just stay at home for these couple of days.”
Josiah was already pretty unhappy with Willow when she didn’t attend the final exam. If she went out of the house under the current circumstances, it would only piss the old man off even more.
Willow nodded. That was the only thing she could do for the moment. Once I recover, I will start anew. I refuse to believe that I can’t beat Sophie!
It wasn’t until Charmaine saw her daughter eating breakfast that she headed downstairs.
When she saw that Sophie was about to leave with her bag, she called her out.
Hearing her mother’s voice, Sophie stopped and glanced at the woman. What does she want? Is she trying to stand up for Willow? It would make sense since both of them had been on the same side.
“Soph—” There were a lot of things Charmaine wanted to say, but the moment her eyes met her daughter’s cold gaze, she swallowed all her words.
That was how her daughter was like.
Logically, she should’ve been the closest to her youngest daughter, yet Sophie always looked at her with that cold gaze, making it difficult for her to love her daughter.
“Soph, you see, your sister simply lost her rationality for a moment there! Please don’t take it to heart, okay? She got terribly sick after staying in that cold, damp bathroom all night! That’s enough of a punishment, don’t you think? Please just let her go!” Knowing that Sophie had always been a ruthless person, Charmaine couldn’t help but worry for Willow.
Sophie raised her eyebrow. “Don’t worry. Since Grandpa said that the chapter is closed, I’ll stick to that!”
That was a promise she was still willing to fulfill.
Even though we’re mother and daughter, we’ve reached a point where there’s nothing much for us to talk about anymore. With no other choice, Charmaine said, “All right. Go and do your things then.”
It was the only way she could think of to hide the awkwardness hanging in the air.
Sophie didn’t pay attention to her mother’s attitude and left the Tanner residence.
Upon watching that scene, a housekeeper couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Sophie is crossing the line here. No matter what, you’re still her mother! How can she treat you with an attitude like that?”
She just couldn’t watch it any longer. “In the end, Ms. Willow is still better. Daughters should act more like her. Even after Ms. Sophie becomes successful, she still won’t treat you well, Mrs. Tanner. That’s not just my opinion. That’s a fact. In the end, Ms. Willow will be the one who’ll take good care of you!”
Hearing that assessment, Charmaine agreed in her mind. Yeah! So what if Sophie is capable? We’re not on the same side. Even if she becomes successful in the future, she won’t care much about me and my interest!
“Take good care of Ms. Willow and let the doctor check up on her later! I heard there’s a really good scar removal medicine in Anglandur, so I’ll ask people to find it!” She wasn’t willing to let Willow’s hand stay ruined and would do her best to get the best scar removal medicine.
“All right, Mrs. Tanner. I’ll check and see if the doctor has arrived!” The housekeeper preferred Willow. At that point, she treated Willow as her own daughter, which was why she cared greatly about Willow’s matters.
When Sophie exited the Tanner residence, Tristan was already waiting outside. Even on a snowy day, his silver car was still dazzling.
She approached the vehicle, opened the door, and fastened her seatbelt after going in. It was then she noticed he had been staring at her.
