NovelEnglishTatiana suppressed her grievances and forced out the brightest smile she could muster, even adding a hint of sweetness to her tone as she spoke, "I heard you were ill, Mrs. Lynch. Sean rushed over to see you. He really cared for you.
"If you don't mind, may I look after you these days? Just let me know whatever you want to eat. Whether it's soup, stew, or snacks, | can make them for you." Observing this, Sean felt his heart ache again. He wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her tightly against him.
He pitied her.

She was his treasure. Yet, at this moment, he felt like he was tarnishing her.
Sinead was initially pleased to see the daughter of the Taylor family showing such concern for her. However, upon witnessing Sean being affectionate with Tatiana, she felt a pang of jealousy. She thought Tatiana was merely trying to win them over and seduce her son, not acting out of genuine kindness.
The next moment, Sinead sneered. "No need to trouble you, Ms. Tatiana. My son has hired a specialized caregiver to take care of me. You're a noble lady. My life might be cut short if | let you serve me." Tatiana's breath caught in her throat. Embarrassed, she bit down on her lower lip, her fair cheeks blushing.
"Mom! Taty means well. Even if you don't appreciate it, you shouldn't say such sarcastic words to hurt her feelings!" Frowning, Sean tightened his grip on Tatiana's waist.
"What did | say? How was | being sarcastic? Do | not even have the right to speak now?" Sinead's eyes were red with anger. She slammed her fist on the bed in frustration. "They say a son forgets his mother when he gets married. She hasn't even set foot in our family's door, and you've already forgotten about me?" "Mom, please calm down. You've just emerged from the brink of death." Beside her, Simon patted Sinead's back, playing the dutiful son.
Meanwhile, Spencer watched as his wife launched a verbal assault on Tatiana. He hesitated several times to intervene but ultimately remained silent.
Sinead clutched at her chest. Her icy gaze fell upon Tatiana's delicate, flushed skin. "Ms. Tatiana, there were some things | wanted to discuss with you privately, but since you're here today, | might as well tell you.

"Mom!" Sean's voice trembled with anguish.
"Although | have three sons, Sean is undoubtedly the one | cherish the most. When choosing his wife, | don't care about her background or social status. | only hope she is honest and kind-hearted.
"If Sean is with a person like that, | can let go of all my worries. | won't have to fear him being used as a pawn or being manipulated. | won't have to lower my head like a servant in front of her family just because his status doesn't match his partner's." "That's enough! Stop!" Sean couldn't bear to listen anymore. He grabbed Tatiana's cold hand and attempted to leave. "Don't listen to them, Taty. Let's go." But no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't move her.
Sinead showed no signs of stopping. She continued to speak cruel words. "In front of you, Sean is just a subordinate, a tool to be used. But in my eyes, he is my precious son. Just consider that your family is out of our league, Ms. Tatiana. Can you let my son go, please?"
