CHAPTER 804 I MISS MY MOTHER

Forrest dropped Leo and Caroline off at the former Henderson’s house and left.

This was brought up by Caroline and when Leo asked where she wanted to stay for the night, Caroline

refused the hotel and ended up saying her former home.

It is the Henderson family.

The Henderson family is now unoccupied; there used to be three other people living there, her, William

and Rebecca, and relative would come and stay for a few days from time to time, and the house was

lively.

But with the collapse of the talks on the 880 million sponsorship fee share between the Henderson

family and the L Group, these relatives grew apart and broke off contact over time.

The truth is that any relationship can hardly stand the test, and once money is involved, even the

closest relatives can turn against each other.

Caroline still had the key to the place and with a click, she opened the iron door at the entrance.

The yard is overgrown, barren and lifeless.

Leo and Caroline both watched the scene in awe, sighing in their hearts.

They hadn't actually been away from the home for long, but it looked as desolate and cold as if no one

had lived there for three or four years.

"You don't look like you're in a very good mood."

Leo said with a smile as he surveyed the side of Caroline's face.

Caroline did not answer immediately, but just looked out at the weeds in the yard.

Her eyes are sad and her face is even more faintly sad.

It took a long time before she came back to her senses and forced out a smile, "I was just wondering,

obviously six months ago, this small courtyard was full of life, why is it now so dead and dull?"

"Because the people are gone."

Leo replied calmly, "People will bring laughter, when people are gone, nothing is left."

Leo does not know from when the laughter in this courtyard gradually began to decrease, it may be

when he came back, or it may be when he and Rebecca turned against each other.

But there was one thing Leo could be sure of, there was no going back.

"This is a potted plant that my mother used to plant here and it's all wilted."

Caroline didn't care if the ground was dirty, she sat directly on the weeds, plucking at the surrounding

earth and wood, and said leisurely.

"There used to be slides here, my mum bought them for me, then I got older and my mum threw them

away, guess why? I grew up and got heavier, once I went to play on the slide after school and

accidentally collapsed the slide, hahaha ----"

Caroline let out a loud laugh, as if she had told a very funny joke.

However, Leo did not smile and remained standing beside Caroline, his gaze calmly looking at her.

Caroline did not feel embarrassed, continued, "My mother used to hate you, after you disappeared, my

mother would come to the courtyard to curse when she had nothing to do, 'fortunately you are gone, or

I will be delayed' and so on. I would secretly watch her from behind, at that time I saw gray hair on her

head for the first time. I had the impression that my mother was beautiful when she was young, with

dark, shiny hair, and never had gray hair ......"

"......"

Leo remained silent, just looking at her with his eyes downcast.

"Dad is remarried now, and Summer is very nice and gentle, but I always felt that Summer and I

couldn't be as close to each other as I was to my mother. No matter how good she is to me, Summer is

just a Godmother, not the real mother who gave birth to me and brought me up."

Caroline's voice finally took on a bit of a sobbing tone.

As soon as she turned her head, her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

"Leo, I miss my mum ----"

......

In the only women's prison in the Pearl.

All female prisoners who have committed a crime are brought here after a trial, depending on the

seriousness of the case.

The wind is bitterly cold and the climate is low in the Pearl, with the crooked trees outside bare and with

a thin layer of ice.

A car came to a slow stop at the entrance and Leo and Caroline stepped out.

Caroline's eyes were red and swollen, she looked like she had just had a big cry and her face was

haggard.

Leo gave her a deep look, "Are you really going to see her?"

Caroline wiped the tears remaining at the corner of her eyes, biting her lips lightly as she said, "Yes,

she has done many bad things and almost killed Lydia, but as bad as she is, that is still my mother . I,

as a daughter, should go and see her."

"She didn't think of you as a daughter."

Leo corrected with an expressionless face, "She has been using you, and everything of value in you,

including your marriage, is a means she uses to ring up money."

"......"

Caroline fell into silence for a moment, recalling the past.

When she fell in love with Benedict Hudson, Rebecca did her best to set her up, but what awaits her

was a bottomless abyss that she cannot see the end of.

Imagine how she would be living now if Leo had not come to snatch her then. She would have died of

domestic violence, while Rebecca, would have spent a rich life.

Fortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world.

This is her birth mother, Rebecca, a woman sends chills through her body.

But since Caroline was going to visit her, Leo couldn't say anything.

"Let's go."

Leo took Caroline into Hated Mountain Women's Prison.

"She is in room seven."

The woman who had shown them in pointed in the direction of room seven.

Caroline quickened her pace and came to sit on one of the benches at the entrance to Room 7.

In front of them is a transparent glass and a telephone in front of them, by which they communicate

with each other.

Leo's gaze fell on a cloaked woman inside room seven.

Long hair draped over her face, making her look shrivelled, as if mentally deranged, as she sat

motionless.

"She was bullied a lot in prison and over time became mentally deranged."

The caretaker next to him explained.

Leo looked as normal, but Caroline's eyes were instantly red and she couldn't help but shout out, "Mum

----"

This call seemed to have caught Rebecca's attention inside Room 7, and her body moved, before she

slowly raised her head.

Seeing Caroline sitting in front of her, there was a moment of excitement on her dull face as she picked

up the microphone and said excitedly, "My daughter, my daughter, is that you?"

"Mom, it's me! I've come to see you!" This content © 2024 .

In response, Caroline sounded even more excited.

Rebecca was about to say something, however, as soon as she saw Leo beside Caroline, her eyes

instantly turned fierce.

"Bad medicine, it's you!"
