She was completely unaware of all this.

At that time, the Luna family went bankrupt. She only knew that her mother dressed up beautifully and left home every day, returning with the smell of alcohol on her. And her father, due to debt issues, would come home in a sorry state every day, with a fiery temper.

So, her parents often argued and threw things at each other. Every time, her father would sadly run out of the house.

Madeline had no idea what her parents were arguing about, but the next day, her mother would still dress up beautifully and leave, which made her hate her mother even more.

It wasn't until a big argument, when her mother packed her bags to leave with her, that she completely despaired of this mother.

She had thought her mother couldn't bear the tough times, taking her sister to rely on a wealthy person, but there was another hidden reason.

"Sister, before mother left, she left a letter for dad, clearly stating the reason for leaving, including the existence of the children. Dad felt guilty towards mom, couldn't bear the responsibility, so chose the path of jumping off the building."

"In fact, it's not that mother is heartless, it's that father never appreciated her. That's why mother felt so disheartened and left."

The last sentence sounded like a release of pent-up grievances, Shawn die raised her head high. She was indeed a deserter. But her mother was innocent! Over the years, for the sake of her father, she hadn't even remarried, and her current stepfather was only maintaining a friendship; her mother had not married him. Her mother had said that the man she loved most in her life was her father, and the person she felt most guilty towards was also her father. So, even as she neared death, she continued to remember her father's name. Shawn die closed her eyes, recalling the scene before her mother's death, tears flowing uncontrollably. Madeline was already unable to stand steadily, and if Freya hadn't supported her, she might have collapsed long ago. Shaking, she asked, "How did she... die?" "She had a miscarriage due to a previous car accident, and afterwards, her health was never quite the same. If it weren't for her friend taking care of us the whole time, my mother might not have survived this ordeal."

"Last year, my mother was diagnosed with advanced uterine cancer again. In order not to burden us, she removed the oxygen mask herself.

Upon hearing this, Madeline collapsed onto Freya, tears uncontrollably streaming down.

She never expected that her mother, whom she had resented for over a decade, would die so tragically.

Removing the oxygen mask herself, how is that any different from her father jumping off a building?

Madeline clenched her fists, completely unable to control her tears.

"Sister, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but our mother is innocent. Please don't hold it against her!"

Shawn die's face was also full of tears.

Their mother, before passing away, instructed her not to bring up these matters. But seeing her sister resent their mother so much, she couldn't bear it and didn't want to see their mother being slandered.

After she finished speaking, she turned to Freya, her voice choked with emotion, "Freya, I'm sorry for hiding it from you, too. In fact, when I first saw you, I recognized you right away. I was just afraid that you would have a bad impression of me because of my sister, so I didn't dare to reveal my identity to you."

"I know I have committed grave sins, so regardless of whether you are willing to teach me medical skills or not, I won't blame you!""

After speaking, she turned around and walked away from the cemetery with heavy footsteps.

The rain got heavier!

Drip, drip, soon the two of them had their hair wet.

Freya tightly held Madeline, letting her put all her weight on herself.

She could understand Madeline's pain, just like when she learned about her mother's cause of death in the cemetery.

She and Madeline were the same kind of people, and even their experiences were very Ella.

It was precisely because of this that they should sympathize with each other!

Madeline cried in her arms for a long time, and Freya was worried that she couldn't bear it, so she forcibly took her back to the car.

The weather at the cemetery was unpredictable. On the way there, Freya had placed two sets of clean clothes and towels in the car to prevent them from getting wet and catching cold.

She gave Madeline the set in her size and comforted her, "If you truly feel sorry for your mother, find an opportunity to pay respects to her. I believe Aunt Shu will forgive you, as she loves you so much."

Madeline pursed her lips, her eyes red from crying for too long, and her whole face covered in tears.

After changing into clean clothes, she said in a hoarse voice, "If I had known the reasons behind Mother's actions, I wouldn't have held onto that resentment for so many years. My dear, I was wrong."

The person Mother had wanted to take with her initially was her, not Sophia. But it was Sophia, not her, who first found out about Mother's pregnancy.

Madeline knew that Mother didn't want her to worry, which was why she kept this secret. But she couldn't accept it. The hatred she had felt for so long was suddenly overturned, and she realized she had been hating the wrong person all along.

Freya gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "You are the most innocent person in this family, and you are the one who has made the greatest sacrifice. Death would have provided closure, but the living have to deal with the mess left behind by the deceased. Ya Ya, no one has the right to blame you, not even yourself."

Upon hearing these words, Madeline cried even harder. She held onto Freya tightly, crying uncontrollably.

"And Sophia is now studying medicine in my clinic. If you really don't want to see her, I will make sure she leaves."

Madeline raised her eyes and looked at her deeply for a long time, "How does Sophia know you?"

Freya truthfully said, "I forgot to tell you, Sophia came back to the country with James, and now she is named Shawn die."

"Are they dating?"

"They probably aren't yet, but I can tell that Sophia really likes James. I heard that they were classmates in university, and now they have a hierarchical relationship."

As for other things, Freya didn't know much about them.

"Freya, don't worry about Sophia's matters! Even if my mother had her reasons for leaving, Sophia, the deserter, is not worth my forgiveness!"

She will not forgive Sophia.

While she was enduring pain, she was enjoying a life of luxury.

Both are daughters of the Luna family; blood is thicker than water.

Why should she bear all the responsibilities alone?

Freya nodded, "Okay, I will tell Ella not to come again, but I can't interfere with her and James's relationship, after all, you know that my relationship with James is quite awkward."

Previously, she had hoped that James would find a partner, and at one point she even wanted to match him with Ella. However, apart from meeting once at the coffee shop, the two had no further contact.

Later, when James went abroad, she hoped he could start anew. Now that Shawn die has appeared, she ultimately hopes that the two of them can be together.

"As long as my friend has nothing to do with her, I don't care about the rest!"

Madeline's eyes showed a touch of paranoia!

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
