"My daughter, it's okay. Forget what I said earlier..." Natalie said softly. She didn't want to trouble Bella again about Henry.
Bella couldn't help but smile when she saw her mother's worried expression. She could feel her mother's fear of mentioning Henry's name in their conversation.
"Mom, I will call my brother later..." Bella said calmly.
Natalie gasped in surprise. She looked her daughter in the eyes for a few more seconds before she asked, "Bella, are you okay with that? I know you hate him so much, and I can understand if you don't want to meet him, too."
Since she stayed here, guilt has tortured Natalie inwardly. She is aware of her failure to raise her children. Her daughter and son never got along, and her eldest son constantly bullied his little sister, and she did nothing to help her daughter.
