Then Alena was sent to the hospital for gastric lavage treatment. As Edmund expected, she was soon
out of danger.
He stood in front of his mother's sickbed and stared at her face. He felt a series of strange emotions
watching her.
Since when did his mother and sister become so bad?
Was it really because of Chelsea?
His thoughts wandered off on another tack. He was convinced it wasn't Chelsea's fault.
Sooner or later, they would quarrel with him over something. It was in their nature to pin the blame on
others when they were the culprits.
The reason why Edmund and Alena hadn't quarreled in the past was because they had a similar
standpoint then.
As Alena wanted, Edmund excelled both in his studies and career.
When Edmund was with Diane, Alena was overjoyed.
Later, Edmund married Chelsea and there was a stirring of trouble. However, when she came to learn
Edmund didn't love his wife, she was quite satisfied.
But all hell broke loose when Edmund said he wouldn't marry Diane. This wasn't what Alena had
planned for her son.
Edmund considered himself an independent man who had the right to make his own choices. How
could he be expected to live his life as his mother pleased?
Having worked in the business circle for so many years, Edmund never thought his biggest enemies
would be his own family.

The next day, when Alena woke up, Edmund was still beside the bed.
He took good care of his mother but wouldn't mention Chelsea or the lawsuit.
It was Alena who couldn't avoid the topic. "Don't you care about me?" she asked, her voice husky with
anger.
Edmund turned around and poured her a glass of water, pretending as if nothing had happened. "If
Chelsea was really raped by those two men that day, Sonya would be in big trouble."
Alena's face flushed with rage, and she roared, "But she is all right, isn't she?"
Edmund stopped pouring water. How could his mother sound so casual about someone else's life?
Neither Sonya nor Alena thought other person's life was of any value!
"Yes, she's fine because the police arrived in time. Lucky for Sonya, she won't be sentenced for a long
time." Edmund was very disappointed in Alena and nothing she said or did could surprise him.
Alena's emotions see-sawed from anger to fear. "Why is my live so miserable? My own son doesn't
care to make my life good!"
Edmund was tired of her outpour of emotions. With a tinge of impatience, he said, "Since you are
awake and fine, I am leaving. I have something important to deal with in the company."
Then he turned around and left, leaving Alena crying.
Chris was waiting for Edmund outside. He had managed to hear what was happening inside. He
couldn't help but sigh, "Why does your mother take things too personally? She shouldn't have picked a
fight with you. It might be hard to fix things if it goes like that. At the end of the day, she needs your
support. Moreover, you haven't done a thing to hurt Sonya. You are simply trying to make sure she
learns her lesson. How else can she become a better person?"
Hearing the wailing in the ward, Edmund sneered and said, "It's not that she takes things personally.
She's dissatisfied that I haven't done what she wants me to do. She enjoys dictating other people's
lives. It is her desire to control me."
After a pause, Edmund continued, "Besides, once Sonya is sentenced in jail, the whole world will come
to know about the upbringing she has given her daughter. My mother is a strong woman. She can't
accept failure, so she is trying to avoid it."
Hearing Edmund's analysis, Chris was momentarily stunned. Edmund had managed to analyze Alena's
mind correctly.
