Chapter 265: Losing Sanity
Henry quietly approached Grace, who was crying helplessly, and guided her to the sofa. He made a quick call to a doctor he knew, asking them to come over and treat Grace’s wounds.
"Wah wah... Son, why is this happening? Everything I did was for you! I never meant to kill your father... It was him... It was that person..."
Grace continued to cry, clutching Henry’s hand tightly.
"Mom, the reason you’re in this situation is... the sins you’ve committed over the years," Henry said calmly, gently easing his hand away from hers.
In pain from the beating she had endured, Grace looked up at Henry weakly. "Henry... don’t look at me like that... I did it for you, for you..."
Henry gazed at her, emotions swirling inside him—shame, anger, and deep sorrow.
Grace was his biological mother, and seeing her like this broke his heart.
But his anger and shame ran even deeper. To Henry, money was sufficient on its own—there was no need to resort to dirty, disgraceful tactics to acquire it.
"Mom! Are you really doing this for me? Do I actually need money? Am I so sick that I can’t afford treatment? Am I so obsessed with money that it makes me ill? Mom! I have plenty of money; my bank account has millions! I don’t need you using underhanded and evil methods to gain everything. I can’t stand the thought of it... your hands are covered in blood!"
Tears welled up in Henry’s eyes as he gripped Grace’s hand tightly, overwhelmed with pain.
"Mom, please listen to me. Go confess. Just say you were tempted by that person! Normally, you’d only face a sentence of eight to ten years, and when you get out, we can be together again! Don’t make any more foolish decisions!"
