Chapter 1460
Kate was terrified as she watched her trembling daughter, Edith. She quickly scooped her up into her arms and patted her back, trying to comfort her.
“It’s Mom’s fault. Please don’t scare Mom like this, okay?”
Edith, leaning on Kate’s shoulder, tears streaming down her face.
“My life has already been ruined by you all. From now on, don’t interfere in my affairs anymore.”
Weakly, she pushed Kate away and took a step back, swaying as she turned around and walked down the corridor steps.
At the circular arch, stood a figure in black, with eyes red and full of concern, watching her.
Feeling the touch of that sympathetic gaze, Edith felt a tingling in her nose. She held back her tears and swallowed her grievances.
“Brother, please don’t repeat my mistakes.”
Preston’s handsome face showed a mixture of emotions. He stepped forward, getting wet in the rain, and stood in front of Edith.
“Edith, you and Anthony still have a chance. He has always loved you.”
Edith smiled, radiant like a flower, but inside her, there was endless pain and a hint of relief.
“I don’t love him anymore.”
Someone once said that after being hurt badly by someone you loved, you don’t have the strength to love again.
Others said that with time, even the most beloved person will be forgotten as the years pass.
Edith forced herself not to love Anthony anymore. And as she forced and forced, she truly stopped loving him…
With a smile on her face, she looked at Preston and then walked away, never looking back.
As she brushed past him, Preston could see the determination in her eyes.
She had fought with her mother for Anthony, and that’s why she left without hesitation.
But he knew that family ties couldn’t be severed. Edith would come back someday.
Love, on the other hand, could be let go. Edith could help Anthony get justice, but she wouldn’t turn back for him.
