Mrs. Yale said with exceptional open-mindedness.
She had just called the Aiden Family, and from Mrs. Aiden, she learned the reason behind Collins Aiden's illness. Her heart was filled with nothing but sympathy. How could she possibly do something to cruelly separate a loving couple?
No sooner had she hung up with Mrs. Aiden than she hurriedly called her daughter, urging Ella to take good care of Collins.
"Mom, I thought you would be more worried about me," Ella said, feeling a twinge of sourness as she heard Mrs. Yale repeatedly express concern for Collins.
Now she was being labeled as the woman who had married Collins for money under a contract marriage, yet her mother hadn't offered her a single word of comfort, instead focusing all her concern on Collins. Who was the actual flesh and blood here?
But when she thought about Mrs. Aiden's care for her, Ella felt a sense of balance restored.
It was as if she had lived for over twenty years and suddenly switched mothers!
