Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason) novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254 The Day Before She Dies

Ainsley looked at Mary with a questioning gaze. She didn’t think that a mother who loved her child

would be uncertain about it when this matter was mentioned. From the beginning to the end, Ainsley did not find any guilt or sadness in Mary’s eyes except for numbness and happiness.

What was Mary happy about?

Suddenly, Ainsley thought of a possibility. She narrowed her eyes slightly. “Before Nancy

committed suicide, did you find out that she got AIDS?”

Mary trembled, her face full of fear, denying quickly, “No! I didn’t. I knew it in Mr. Ford’s office.”

Her face was pale, and she wouldn’t admit it.

But Ainsley was clear that Mary’s reaction in Mr. Ford’s office that day was abnormal. A mother would be either angry or sad when she found out that her daughter got AIDS, but Mary did not react

at all.

“To be honest, it seems that there is no point in hiding it now.”

Why didn’t Mary realize it?

If Mary cooperated, perhaps Ainsley would give them some compensation because of her sympathy, but Mary’s actions made Ainsley disgusted.

Mary’s face was pale. She was hesitant for a while and finally said, “Yes, I knew it the day before she

died.”

The day before Nancy died…

It was sunny. When Mary was tidying up the room, she found a diagnosis. She looked at it suspiciously for a long time but failed to get anything from it.

However, she only needed to check the medicine on the table to know what it was.

In the afternoon, Nancy returned home from school and had no idea what was waiting for her at

home.

As soon as Nancy opened the door, Mary went straight to her and slapped her, shouting, “Bitch!”

“Mom? What do you

mean?”

“How dare you? Do you know what you are doing? I spent so much money and made so much effort to support you to go to university, not for you to mess around there!” Mary was furious.

Nancy realized something. She looked at her desk. “You rummaged through my private things?”

“Don’t be so harsh. You are my daughter. I helped you tidy up your things and accidentally saw the

medicine. Now you must answer me. What exactly is going on?”

Mary couldn’t bear her talented daughter being infected with this kind of dirty disease.

In Mary’s opinion, the people who got AIDS were all promiscuous.

Nancy felt desperate. “Mom, I got AIDS because of my ex–boyfriend.”

Nancy suddenly thought of what Ainsley had told her. “Your mom will only care more about you.

After all, it’s not your fault…”

Nancy seemed to hear the cry from the bottom of her heart.

She looked at Mary expectantly, looking forward to her concern and comfort. Nancy just hoped she

would say that it was okay and that she would be protected.

However, nothing happened. Nancy could only see Mary dodge as if she was avoiding a dreadful monster. “Don’t get close to me! Get away!”

Nancy’s outstretched hand suddenly stopped. She saw her mother looking at her as if she was a dirty thing.

“Mom, I…”

“Don’t call me that! I worked so hard and supported you to go to college so as not to let you mess around. And you even got this kind of dirty disease. When did you get it? Don’t try to infect your

brother!”

As Mary spoke, she asked her son to return to his room quickly and locked the door.

Nancy’s eyes darkened at that moment. The strangers in the consulting room could say to her gently that she didn’t need to be afraid. Mary claimed to love her the most, but Nancy didn’t know why Mary tried her like this.

“I am not dirty. The teacher said that there was hope for me.” She looked at Mary with a glimmer of

hope.

But Mary just said worriedly, “Shut up! Stop talking nonsense. You can’t be cured. One who got the disease can’t be cured. Besides, you have no money to pay for the treatment. And you can’t get a

cent from our family!”

At that moment, Mary looked at Nancy without a trace of pity, only anger and fear.

Nancy was originally filled with despair, and the hope that was gradually recovered by Ainsley’s words was gone.

Nancy fell into despair at that moment. Her face was pale, and she looked at Mary, saying with a trembling voice, “Mom, I didn’t want to ask you for money to treat my illness. I just…”

She added the rest of the words in her heart, I just want to get a few concerns. Can you share some of them that are given to my brother to me?
