Chapter 493 Dirty Heart
Braden said in a calm voice, “Mom, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect myself well. I made you
sad.”
Tracy looked at her once proud and outstanding son, who suddenly became so
melancholy and sad. She felt like he had lost all light and was like a walking corpse.
She felt like her heart was being scraped by a knife. It hurt so much that she almost
couldn’t breathe.
“Son, what have you been through?”
She hugged Braden, shocked and distressed.
It was hard to imagine what kind of inhumane torture he had gone through when he
was not there. It made him like this.
“It’s already in the past. I don’t want to mention it again.”
Braden’s voice was faint. He didn’t want to reveal anything or allow Alina to do it.
For him, everything he had suffered today was what he had to pay to Shirley. It was
his own fault.
Now, the debt had been paid off, and they didn’t need to pester each other anymore.
“Well, let’s not talk about it. It’s good that you’re back…’
Tracy silently shed tears. She gently patted Braden’s back as she did when Braden
was a child. She coaxed him to sleep and whispered, “Don’t worry. I will do everything
to cure you!”
Perhaps Braden was too tired. He fell asleep when he got home.
Tracy was unwilling. She must know who was so daring to hurt his son so badly.
She knocked on the door of the guest room. “Alina, are you asleep?”
“Who is it?’
Alina asked in a frightened voice.
At this moment, she had already washed up. She was wrapped in pajamas on the
bed. Her whole body was curled like shrimp, shivering.
“Don’t be afraid. It’s me, Tracy.”
“Tracy? Please come in.”
Alina got up and turned on the light in the room.
Tracy came in and closed the bedroom door. She rubbed her hands and sat on the
bedside, hesitating to speak.
“Alina. You also need to go to bed at this time, so I shouldn’t have come to disturb
you…’
“It’s okay, Tracy. Having experienced that, how can I sleep? You can come and chat
with me.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
Tracy hesitated for a moment and asked, “Just now, Braden was in a bad state and
did not want to talk about those sad things. However, if I do not do something for him,
I am afraid that I will not be able to rest in peace, so I can only ask you for help…
“Alina, can you tell me what you two have experienced? Why are Braden’s eyes like
this?”
Alina let out a long sigh with a sad gaze. “Actually, this is all my fault. If I were not too
selfish, maybe everything would not have happened.”
“Your fault?”
Tracy was confused. “What does it have to do with you? Don’t you have a good
relationship with Braden? Don’t tell me you will harm him.”
“It’s just because of the good relationship between me and Braden.”
Alina said with red eyes, “Braden’s eyes were blinded by Ms. Wilson. I guess Ms.
Wilson did this because she was unwilling to be abandoned. She went to the extreme
and hated him because she loved him so much!’
“What? Shirley blinded him? She doesn’t seem like someone who would do such a
thing.”
Tracy was shocked but she still expressed her doubts.
Because Shirley had been her daughter-in-law for so many years, she still knew what
kind of woman Shirley was.
“I also can’t believe that Ms. Wilson would be so cruel. No matter what, she really
