NovelEnglishChapter 370: Doris wasn't surprised by Debby's rant. Although she felt a twinge of satisfaction, she soothingly said, "Don't worry too much. Brian is your son, and nothing can change that. You are his mother, always. And as for Rachel, their romance might be intense now, but feelings can change over time..." Before Doris could finish her thought, Debby's spirits visibly lifted. Her mood brightened as she exclaimed, "Of course! How could I forget? A mother's role is permanent, a wife's is not. If Rachel thinks she can marry Brian, I'll ensure it doesn't happen." With that declaration, Debby's spirits lifted considerably.
Doris, too, couldn't help but smile broadly.

"You need to recover swiftly, so you can helpwatch over Brian later." With a gentle nod, Doris responded, “I'll make sure of it." A smile crossed Debby's face as her irritation faded. With a long sigh, she muttered, "They say a daughter is a mother's comfort, and I believe it. Daughters are so thoughtful. Sadly, I only have a son who seems to favor his girlfriend over family." Doris offered a comforting smile. “Actually, Brian is quite devoted too. He tends to show his affection through his deeds. It's often the way of men, showing love more through what they do than what they say." Debby acknowledged this insight. "That's true. You always find the right words. Brian has indeed been a joy, causing no troubles and always expressing himself through his actions. "When you put it that way, Brian really is remarkable." Debby's mood had noticeably improved.
Doris exhaled softly, relieved she hadn't fueled Debby's earlier frustrations. After spending so many years with the White family, she felt she understood Debby quite well.
Despite Debby's vocal preference for daughters, she favored boys over girls. Aron, on the other hand, did not share that kind of thinking.
"You've matured into such a graceful and thoughtful young woman, increasingly charming and polite. Any man would be fortunate to have you as his wife. And I just wonder which woman will be lucky enough to have such a daughter-in-law."

Take Rachel, for instance; she has nothing to boast about. Her modest upbringing is, quite frankly, pitiable. For her, meeting Brian was sheer luck. For him, it was misfortune." Debby's negative comments about Rachel were exactly what Doris wanted to hear. She remained silent, simply absorbing Debby's words. The more she heard, the more content she became.
Yet, Debby mistook this as Doris being considerate, appreciating her willingness to listen as she vented. Consequently, Debby's affection for her grew, not quite as for a daughter, but as a confidante who met her emotional needs.

For Doris, the motivation was clear: as long as she maintained Debby's favor and fueled her disdain for Rachel, she was content.
Meanwhile, in Rachel's hospital room, Brian's voice carried a resolute tone.
"I promise, what happened today won't be repeated. You've skipped breakfast. Try sof this ravioli first."
The "I've lost my appetite."
