Better Life Without You. novel Chapter 4

The day laura's mother passed away, she called Henry countless times, but no one answered.

With each call that ended with the cold, mechanical female voice, laura's anger gradually turned into numbness.

She had thought about confronting them, making them pay for her mother's death.

But every time she closed her eyes, she would think of what her mother said before she passed.

Her mother told her not to blame anyone, not to live with hatred.

What she wanted was to see laura live freely, gracefully, and happily.

And laura would listen to her.

She would live freely and happily.

As for her words, Henry thought laura was still upset about Nancy causing trouble, so he frowned in displeasure. "laura, there's no need to keep holding on to these small matters. It's all in the past now."

To him, it was in the past, but for laura, it would never be over.

She looked at him coldly, her voice indifferent, "My mother is gone. You won't find her anymore."

"laura! Don't go too far! No matter what, she was your mother! How could you curse her like that? She's so sick, where else could she go if not to the hospital?"

laura's mother had treated him better than she treated laura. She would save all the good things for him, always putting them aside for him.

When Henry had just started his business and was sabotaged by others, losing everything, it was laura's mother who took out most of her life's savings to help him pay off the debts and helped him get back on his feet.

But because of him, laura's mother, even in her illness, couldn't find peace.

Nancy began to complain as well. "Dr. laurana, I know you blame me for not understanding things before. Can you accept my apology? Henry is really worried about Auntie. Please don't be angry with him."

"You don't deserve to mention my mother!" Hearing Nancy talk about her mother, laura's anger exploded. She couldn't hold it in anymore. "Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"

She stood up suddenly, issuing an order to evict them.

Henry seemed afraid laura might do something to her. He quickly shielded Nancy behind him, his gaze cold as he looked at laura.

"laura, are you going to chase a patient out of the hospital? Is this how you uphold your medical ethics?"

Then, he posted pictures of him setting up the nursery, with a caption that read, "Baby, hurry up and come out. Your mom and I can't wait to see you."

He didn't block laura from his posts.

She restrained herself, silently giving him a like.

When she checked again, she saw that he had blocked her.

laura wasn't angry. She opened his profile, just like he did to her, and added him to her blacklist.

From that moment on, they would never see each other again.

In the following days, Henry felt uneasy, always thinking about laura. When Nancy called him, he couldn't hear her at first.

He thought that he hadn't visited laura's mother's grave yet, and the pressure started building in his heart.

One day, he left work early and bought a lot of expensive supplements to take to the hospital.

But then he heard someone say, "Dr. laurana's mother passed away a few days ago. We were the ones who personally took her to the crematorium. You are her husband, don't you know this?"
