Chapter 966 A Burden Too Heavy to Bear
Having a bad feeling in her heart, Jewel anxiously looked at Olivia and asked, "Why?"
"Alex's mother is in the hospital. She attempted suicide. Wrist cutting. Eugene speculated that Alex might have been
too resolute," Olivia explained.
Jewel's face turned pale in an instant as she murmured to herself, "Suicide? Why would she do that? How is she
now? Ahh, I blame myself for this."
At that, Olivia glared at her and said, "What's there to blame you for? If there's anyone to blame, it's me. I scolded
her, and you didn't say anything. Don't worry. She's fine now."
Jewel looked regretful. "If I hadn't suggested breaking up with him, he probably wouldn't have discussed this with his
mother. I should have stopped him."
"Even if you hadn't said anything, he still would have discussed this with his mother. It has nothing to do with you, so
don't take all the responsibility on your own," Olivia reminded gently.
However, Jewel suddenly became anxious as she asked, "What should we do now? Should we visit her?"
Olivia comforted her, "Yes, but tomorrow. It's a bit late now. We'll go tomorrow at noon."
Jewel fell into a long silence.
Why do I always hold onto hope? I have no legal status, and I'm a person who's already dead. Who am I to deserve
a good life? I'm only living a life of compromise. What else can I expect from love? Clearly, we shouldn't even be
together!

Believing thet only the people involved heve the right to decide end thet others heve no euthority to interfere is

Believing that only the people involved have the right to decide and that others have no authority to interfere is
foolish and naive! Is it really true that they have no right to interfere?
No matter how deep our feelings are, and no matter how many years we've missed, we shouldn't be together. It's
too heavy, and on our shoulders is the weight of a life that could disappear at any moment. Who can bear that
burden?
The next day.
As scheduled, Olivia and Jewel met up with Eugene at the hospital.
As they approached the ward, they could hear the lively voice of an elderly woman. "Can't you get something that I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike?"
Alex responded in a good-natured tone, "What would you like to eat then?"
Stefanie replied, "Roasted chicken."
"Your body hasn't completely recovered yet, and the doctor advised that you have something light. I bought you
some mushroom soup and steamed salmon. Just make do for a few days. You'll be discharged tomorrow," Alex
explained patiently.
With that, he propped up the small table next to her bed and arranged all the things he had bought on top. Then,
he picked up a bowl and coaxed in a gentle voice, "Mom, hurry and taste it. I just tried a sip, and it's really good."
With a haughty turn of her head, Stefanie retorted, "Let Diana do it. There's no need for you to keep coming here.
I'm not going to die."
With a haughty turn of her head, Stefanie retorted, "Let Diana do it. There's no need for you to keep coming here.
I'm not going to die."
At that, Alex's brow furrowed. "Mom, why do you have to say things like that? I admit that I had a bad attitude that
day, but haven't I already apologized to you? Why are you still holding a grudge against your son?"
Stefanie snorted. "If I was holding a grudge, I would have kicked you out by now."
Alex chuckled. "How could you bear to do that? I'm your only son."
"Why can't you listen to me since you are my only son? I told you that anyone is acceptable, except for Jewel! Why
do you insist on being stubborn about this woman?"
Although Alex's face already turned gloomy, his tone remained gentle. "Alright, Mom. Let's not talk about this now.
Didn't we agree to discuss this later?"
Stefanie was so angry that she couldn't contain it anymore. "There's no room for this discussion from now on. If you
don't want to push me to death, stay away from that woman!"
