She herself had no children, and she had long considered Isla as her own flesh and blood. Even though the person in question was her sister-in-law, she wouldn't allow Sabrina to slander Isla.
Sabrina looked at Olivia, pouting her mouth. She had earnestly said so much, but Olivia, it appeared, couldn't recognize a good heart.
On whose behalf was she speaking?
Wasn't it to prevent Olivia from being deceived?
Could an adopted child really be the same as one's own?
Sabrina refrained from showing her anger, and continued, "Auntie, I am saying all this for your sake! Aren't you pleased? Our two families are as close as flesh and bone. George is your niece's son, so I'm pouring my heart out to you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't bother!"
As a close relative, Sabrina hoped Olivia could understand a simple truth: there was no blood relation between Olivia and Isla. Only Olivia and George were truly kin. Therefore, Olivia and Isla had to maintain a boundary.
