Female Novel
Chapter 945
Elaine suddenly felt very sad when she heard this!
She had only been gone for the past two days, but everyone in the family seemed to have a differentattitude toward her now.
Her husband was ignoring her and had even lost his temper with her. Her son-in-law was also nolonger the same son-in-law who was always at the mercy of others. He even dared to get angry at herand asked her to move back to their own house.
Even her good daughter that she could always rely on was no longer standing on her side.
She would never have dreamt that her daughter would actually take Charlie’s side at this time.
She had always been a drama queen. When she saw that she was about to lose power in this house,her eyes flushed red as she started to put on an act.
She choked pitifully as she said, “I am now superfluous in this house. Your father does not care aboutme anymore. Your husband is threatening to kick me out of this house and you are not even standingon my side anymore…”
As she spoke, Elaine’s mouth twitched as tears flowed down her cheeks.
Claire sighed helplessly before she said, “Mom, you are the one who is in the wrong. I cannot alwaysbe taking your side.”
Although she felt sorry for her mother for all the sufferings that she had endured, she felt that this wasnot a reason for her mother to be yelling at Charlie or hurling any insults at Mrs. Lewis.
Furthermore, Claire knew very well that her husband had always been very pitiful ever since he was achild. He did not have many relatives in this world.
Aside from herself, the only other person that he could refer to as his relative was none other than Mrs.Lewis.
This was also the reason why Charlie was desperately trying to raise money for Mrs. Lewis’s treatmentsome time ago.
Claire knew that Charlie had always regarded Mrs. Lewis as his own mother.
She had always admired Charlie’s filial piety and grateful behavior. Otherwise, she would not havegiven him all of her savings so that he could get some treatment for Mrs. Lewis.
In her heart, Claire also personally felt that her mother was a bit too much. Therefore, she naturallycould not speak up for her at this time.
Elaine was crying pitifully as tears flowed down her face and she sighed as she said, “I really have avery pitiful life. Do I still have a place in this family?”
Charlie was no longer willing to continue staying here just to watch her put on an act. He did not wantto be patient with her anymore. Therefore, he simply walked past her as he told Claire: “My dear wife, Iam going to head to the orphanage first. I will not be having dinner at home today.”novelbin
Claire hurriedly stood up before she said, “I will come with you. I have not seen Mrs. Lewis for a longtime. The last time we visited Mrs. Lewis at the hospital was already a few months ago. I kind of missher.”
Claire had truly fulfilled the duties and responsibilities of a good wife. She was not only very supportiveof Charlie’s decision to get treatment for Mrs. Lewis’s illness, but she also often accompanied him tovisit her at the hospital. She took very good care of Mrs. Lewis, just like Charlie did and she was alsovery respectful toward Mrs. Lewis.
Mrs. Lewis also really liked Claire very much. She treated her like her own daughter-in-law.
When Charlie saw that Claire wanted to visit Mrs. Lewis with him, he nodded in satisfaction before hesaid, “Okay, we can go together then. Mrs. Lewis also asked me about you the last time she called me.I think that she misses you a lot too.”
Claire said, “Then, we can set off now.”
When Elaine heard that Claire was going to go out with Charlie, she said pitifully, “My good daughter,are you angry at your mother? Are you really going to ignore your mother as well?”
Claire looked at Elaine helplessly before she said, “Mom, I really hope that you can reflect oneverything that you have experienced in the past two days and change your personality and attitude.Otherwise, you will definitely suffer more in future.”
When Elaine heard her words, she sat on the ground before she cried out, “What is the point of mestaying alive in this world? My only relative, my dear daughter no longer cares about me or supportsme anymore. The police should not have released me from the detention center. I should have just diedinside…”
In the past, Claire would have already softened her heart and compromised or given in when she seesher mother being such a profligate. However, this time, she understood that her mother would suffereven more in future if she maintained this kind of personality and attitude. Therefore, Claire knew thatshe should not be condoning her mother’s temper and character anymore.
