Chapter 798 - 799
Just the thought of that scene made Carol’s heart ache.
"My aunt believes that if my mom hadn’t been disabled, if she hadn’t spent every day crying because she couldn’t find us, her life would have been better. Our family wouldn’t have fallen apart, and dad
wouldn’t have moved on so quickly with a new flame after she passed away."
Carol’s eyes dimmed for a moment as she spoke, then she quickly added, "But I don’t blame my aunt.
None of this is her fault. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s that truck that swerved into our lane."
If it hadn’t been for that truck changing lanes, the lady driving wouldn’t have crashed, and mom wouldn’t have ended up with a lifelong disability due to a steel rod piercing her leg. Dad wouldn’t have
been so frantic after getting the call about mom being in the ICU that he lost track of the kids.
It all seemed like it was written in the stars.
"How does your dad treat you?" Rosemary asked softly, "Were he happy when you and your brother came home?"
"He just broke down crying on the spot, kept apologizing to us for not taking better care of us, saying it was his fault we ended up alone for so many years." Carol’s smile held no trace of blame; instead she
said, "He doesn’t know about Doom. We didn’t tell him."
Rosemary nodded in understanding; after all, no one wanted their loved ones to live in constant fear.
