"Why? I've already started discussing marriage with him, so why should I break up with him?" Although Cora was puzzled, she didn't break away from Flora's hand, fearing to agitate her again.
Flora sat up from the hospital bed and grabbed Cora's shoulders, shaking her hard. "You snatched him from someone else. How bold of you to talk about marriage with him! If I knew you would do such a shameless thing, I would have strangled you to death when you were born!"
"I didn't snatch him from someone else, and he never belonged to anyone either."
Cora tried to explain to Flora, but Flora seemed to be unable to listen as she was still screaming at the top of her lungs. "You still want to lie to me at this point? I have repeatedly emphasized to you since you were a child that you can't touch the things that don't belong to you. Why are you still resorting to such lowly behavior as stealing other people's things?
"Look at yourself. You've been slapped in the face, right? You deserve it! Who told you to be so cheap that you resort to stealing other people's things? You deserve that slap!
"If it were me, I would definitely go beyond just slapping you. You scoundrel, why wasn't it you who died at that time?"
Cora felt the pain on her cheek couldn't compare to even the slightest bit of what she was suffering in her heart right now.
This was her mother. It was even more disheartening that she didn't show any concern.
But why did she say that Cora deserved that kind of treatment? And why did she say those other vicious words?
Cora's heart nearly went cold.
"Who told you this? Was it Dr. Yoris?"
Some time ago, Jane and Flora got very close, so it was hard for Cora not to suspect Jane.
But Flora's movements stiffened momentarily before she said, "It wasn't her."
"Not her? Then who was it?" Once Cora knew who it was, she wanted to tear that person apart.
Flora said, "There were a lot of rumors about it out there. How long do you think you can keep it from me?"
Then Flora added angrily, "If you still want me as a mother, you must break up with him now."
Sometimes Cora really thought it would be better if she didn't have this kind of mother, and one of the occasions was when Flora cursed her like that just now.
But she no longer had a father, and she felt that such thoughts were too heartless, so she could only swallow up all the bitterness in her heart to explain, "Mom, he's really not engaged with Dr. Yoris. It's merely people's assumptions."
"I don't care about that. If you don't break up with him, never call me your mom again, and don't come to see me anymore!"
The more Flora talked, the more agitated she became that she even pushed Cora out of the ward.
Her strength when bursting out in anger was not small, and Cora was no match for her at all that it didn't take long for her to be pushed out of the ward and locked outside the door.
At that moment, Cora especially felt powerless.
