Nathan straightened up and took a few steps back. Without saying anything, he turned around to leave.
And just like that, he left.
Michelle slowly opened her eyes, but the tears still kept rolling down from the corners, one heavy drop after another.
Just then, a clear, lilting ringtone rang out. Someone was calling her.
Michelle took out her phone to check and saw that it was Sabrina.
She answered, and Sabrina's voice immediately came through the line.
"Hello, Michelle."
"Mom."
"Michelle, that illegitimate girl came to see you again, didn't she? Now that you're pregnant, that homewrecker and her bastard daughter are going crazy. The Landon family won't even let them through the door, and Landon Group has kicked them out, too!
"As I watch them suffer like this, all the resentment and bitterness I've had in my heart finally eased a little."
Michelle stared blankly at the office ceiling. She didn't speak.
"Michelle? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm listening."
"Michelle, you're pregnant now. Don't push yourself so hard at work. You have to bring this child into the world safe and healthy."
"Okay."
"Michelle, I know how hard you've worked all these years. I know how much you've endured. The proudest thing I've ever done in my life is giving birth to you. You're my pride."
Michelle tightened her grip on the phone. "Mom… I'll be fine. Don't worry."
"Great."
The call ended. Michelle slowly lowered her phone, sat up, and put it back into her bag.
She lifted her gaze to the mirror. Her face was pale, and her gaze was hollow. For a moment, she couldn't even tell what she was thinking.
She had grown up in a family that was never whole, never warm.
She didn't know what fatherly love felt like.
All she knew was that from the moment Sabrina had tried to take her own life, she couldn't afford to be weak anymore.
She had to fight—fight that homewrecking bitch and her bastard daughter.
