The Apple of My Eye

"Exactly. Such an horrible mother, don't you think?" Autumn gave a bitter smile and continued, "Of course I refused to marry Charles at that time. But Wendy Ye... took my grandma away and hid her. She told me that my grandma would receive medical attention if I married Charles. If I refused, I would never ever see my grandma again." Autumn couldn't hold back her tears. Chris was filled with anger. How could a mother be such a monster to her daughter?

"Autumn, please stop crying. You got married to my brother and you are a part of our family now. Grandpa, Charles and I will protect you from Wendy Ye." Chris held Autumn's hand to comfort her.

Autumn dried her tears and continued, "If Wendy Ye had my grandma treated by a doctor, I would have been grateful for that. However, she didn't even hire a nurse to take care of my grandma. She only used my grandma to blackmail me."

With her illness, Emily was at death's door. Every time Autumn thought of it, she regretted having trusted Wendy Ye. She realized that Wendy Ye would never be a kindhearted person.

"Then, what happened?" Chris didn't expect Autumn to have such a miserable past. She felt sorry for her.

"I managed to find my grandma, but she is dying. I hate Wendy and Yvonne for that. When Yvonne had a miscarriage, I called Wendy and told her that I wouldn't take care of her." Chris was already family to Autumn, so Autumn wanted her to know everything, and to know that not all mothers loved their children.

"Wendy Ye... didn't care about Yvonne at all. She said that since Charles was not the baby's father, it did not matter that Yvonne lost the baby. She asked me to take good care of Yvonne, hoping that Yvonne could take Charles from me when she recovers." Chris was dumbfounded..

"What? How is that possible?" Chris couldn't believe her ears.

"You see, Wendy Ye is such a selfish person. She only cares about herself. Yvonne inherited that from her. They don't care about the baby at all. Chris, you don't have to feel sorry for her." Autumn reassured Chris.

Autumn's encouragement, Chris got even more depressed. She gave a wry smile and said, "Autumn, I know you are trying to comfort me. But I feel sorry for the baby. No matter how
