Hecate's mother lay on the bed silently. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling weakly. She did not notice Hecate approaching her. Perhaps it was due to the effect of the tranquilizer shot.
Hecate stood before the bed and called out to her softly, “Mom." Her voice was filled with deep emotions. It contained her love and care for her mother.
Hecate's mother finally returned to her senses. She turned her eyes around. When she saw Hecate, her gaze stayed fixed on her. Her eyes shone with tears. Suddenly, she reached out and tried to touch Hecate.
Hecate took a step forward and grabbed her mother's hand. However, her mother withdrew her hand at once. Hecate then moved her hand away immediately.
Baby Robbie stood by the door, but he still managed to catch sight of the frightening red spots on Hecate's mother’s arms. His feelings were extremely complicated. He naturally disliked Hecate's mother’s lowly occupation, but his heart hurt terribly for Hecate.
Hecate was the Bell family’s illegitimate daughter, but how was she at fault for that?
Her parents brought her into the world irresponsibly. Her father abandoned her for his reputation and riches. He left her alone to struggle in the lowest depths of society.
Hecate was all grown up now. She was a gorgeous girl with meticulous thoughts. The Bell family brought her over because they thought that she would be useful.
They thought that she would be extremely grateful to them if they showed her some kindness.
However, Baby Robbie's instincts told him that Hecate's gratefulness toward the Bell family was coupled with deep hatred. Baby Robbie was not sure if she was trying to assist the Bell family or bring forth their destruction.
While Baby Robbie was distracted, he suddenly heard Hecate's mother sobbing sorrowfully "I'm sorry, Caty. I've wronged you.
"I'm useless. I've made things hard for you. You've had such difficult times because of me. I even got infected with such a disgraceful disease. I’ve brought shame upon you. I don’t deserve to be your mother.’’
Hecate embraced her mother and sobbed.
