NovelEnglishChapter 514 Wise Words Sure enough, Grace was overjoyed when we got home. | She learned we visited the Beringer | | home. Her first words to my mom were, "Chlo is good! It's the Murphy family who are unfortunate." Even if my mom were upset about the past, she would not hate a dying person. She just smiled.
Atlas stayed to chat with my dad for a while before he left.
After putting Ava to bed, Grace knocked on my door. I quickly let her in.
She still seemed awkward in front of me. I reached out and pulled her to sit on the couch. "Is there something on

Grace took care of me wholeheartedly during my postpartum period. She cared for me even more than her son.
Matthew was already involved with Melanie then. Grace was the only one who genuinely took care of me.
"Mom..." I awkwardly called her.
After all, I had used this term for over a decade, so it had become a habit. They just hurt me too deeply.
Grace burst into tears. ""Chlo, I'm
cursed! I'lost you, even after having you. I must have done something wrong in my past life to deserve this.
That's why I'm facing this retribution!" ""Mom, please don't say that! After all, we were a family for ten years. You're my child's grandmother! Just think of me as your daughter! Don't dwell on that heartless person," I comforted her.

IE "Mom, I'm not very materialistic. You knew I wanted nothing from the Murphy family when I was with Matthew." She nodded. "Yes, you're not after money!" I chuckled. "Back then, I knew what kind of house your family lived in. I wouldn't have chosen him if I were a materialistic woman." I realized how naive I was.
"However, he hurt me too deeply. I'm not like what you think, Mom. I don't have to fight for this house. Even marriage laws explicitly state that a couple's joint property should be divided fairly." I needed to dispel the rumor that I had taken their house.
"You know he wanted to leave me long ago. How many of your savings exceed mine? I didn't even have money on me when I took the child to the hospital.
