Chapter 2168
Sean's face turned red. "Elsa, I truly did look for you." "Mister." Elsa's voice returned to its calm state. "There truly is nothing between you and me anymore. Please don't come and disturb my life again. This is my last place where I can keep my peace. If I were to lose this peaceful place as well, then I no longer have any means to live in this world anymore, of course, I have sinned greatly, so I shouldn't have been alive in the first place. Alright. Mister, suit yourself."
Upon saying that, Elsa smiled and sighed lightly, then she turned around and left, she did not even take another look at her own son. Without saying another word, she was going to enter the convent.
"Mom!" Vireo called out behind her.
Elsa did not lookback. "I am not your mother. I merely gave birth to you. I never raised you after giving birth to you. I am a sinner. As for your mother, she should be your adoptive father and mother who had raised you. I, on the other hand, am not. Mister, please don't call me your mother again."
"No! Mom!" All the questioning words that Vireo had thought of all went up in smoke.
At that moment, he only wanted to know if his mother, his biological mother, had been living well for so many years in the past. Perhaps that was the innate connection between a mother and a son. For more than thirty years, his life had been extremely miserable, so he eagerly wanted to know if his mother has had it even more miserable than him.
"Mom, tell me, how did you get through your days all these years? Was it because you had no choice that you sold me back then? Was it because you felt guilty that you became a nun? Is that right? Mom, as long as you tell me that you had no choice, I won't blame you. In the future, you'll be a person with a son as well. I will provide for you, and you'll never be so miserable and lonely in the remaining years of your life, oh yes, Mom, you have a daughter-in- law now. You will have grandchildren in the future. Life will become better and better. Follow me home, Mom."
Vireo needed a mother. He needed affection from his family. He did not hate anymore. He did not at all anymore. He simply could not hate when he was facing his biological mother. Elsa had her back facing Vireo, and when she heard Vireo saying that, her shoulders trembled a few times, she did not walk forward briskly anymore. Instead, she raised her hands to cover her face.
"Mom...you had your difficulties, right? when you sold me back then, you had no other choice, right?"
"No!" Elsa suddenly turned around. She looked at Vireo with her face covered in tears. "I didn't sell you for money. How could I bear to do that? You were my only child. I only had two relatives in my life. One of them is my grandmother, and the other is you. I had nothing left. I only had the two of you. How could I sell my biological son, whom I had traded with my life?"
