After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1104

Cynthia didn't answer him immediately.

Peter continued, "Cynthia, we're completely out of options."

"My wife's illness really demands a fortune. If one person in a family gets a major illness, it can drag the whole household back into poverty."

"We weren't well-off to begin with. When we were younger, we could work odd jobs for extra cash, but now we're old and can't do that anymore. Jeremy and the others run the Anchor & Oyster, but business is stagnant. We truly don't have a dime to spare."

"I know it's shameless and despicable of us to ask you and Isabella for money now, but we're out of options. If we had any other way, we wouldn't be thick-skinned enough to keep pestering you."

As Peter spoke, his voice grew thick with emotion. "Those medical bills are an astronomical number to us. We made mistakes, yes, but we are still Isabella's grandparents. Can you really bear to watch us die in poverty?"

"Can you watch her grandmother go home to wait for death just because we can't afford her treatment?"

"It's entirely our fault, and we regret it more than words can say. Back in the day, you were such a dutiful daughter-in-law to us. We didn't appreciate you, and we treated you like an outsider."

"We bullied you two and committed such heinous acts. It's only right that you hate us."

"But... Cynthia, when my eldest son was alive, he was the most devoted son to us. You two had such a wonderful marriage. If he knew from the grave that his parents were in such dire straits and his wife and daughter just stood by and did nothing, his heart would break."

Peter wept over the phone.

If his eldest son hadn't died, they wouldn't have made such a catastrophic mistake and broken the hearts of their daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

If things were different, they might be enjoying a luxurious life alongside Isabella right now.

If they hadn't plotted to sell off their daughter-in-law and granddaughter to seize the estate, even if Cynthia had remarried, Isabella wouldn't harbor such intense hatred for them.

There was no cure for regret in this world.
