Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 398

"Mom, I want to apologize to you for hurting Oliver before."

Isabel reached out and patted his shoulder. "You'll have to tell him that yourself. I can't forgive you on his behalf."

During lunch, Edmund apologized to Oliver.

Oliver didn't quite understand what had happened, but he was happy that Edmund was apologizing. "Did you finally realize it's wrong to steal my mom?"

Edmund fell silent.

So innocent.

After apologizing, Edmund just ate his food and said nothing more.

Oliver assumed that was what the apology was for. He didn't know his previous illness was because of Edmund.

"As long as you don't try to take my mom from me, I'll forgive you. If we get along, Mom will be happy too."

Edmund paused for a moment, then simply nodded.

***

Adrian could move occasionally.

But only for very short periods, a few seconds at a time, not even long enough to use the bathroom.

Most of the time, he was confined to the bed.

The Blackwells had come to visit him at Halcyon Hills Residence one by one.

But they weren't in any position to say much.

Victoria Blackwell went from being imperious at the start to finally begging pitifully.

She even found Isabel and pleaded with her to let Adrian go, to talk things out properly instead of tormenting him like this.

"He was only cold to you before, but what you're doing to him now is, frankly, too much."

Isabel's voice was frigid. "Mrs. Blackwell, do you realize your grandson would be dead without X-1? If my right hand had been permanently damaged back then, no one could have made X-1. I don't think his punishment is too severe at all."

"But you were the one who insisted on marrying him. You knew from the beginning that he didn't love you..."

"Don't try to gaslight me," Isabel said. "I wanted to marry him, yes, but if he hadn't agreed, the wedding wouldn't have happened. Since he chose to marry me, he shouldn't have treated me with such cold indifference. He could have discussed things with me. I'm not an unreasonable person. If I had known he needed to save someone, I wouldn't have thrown a tantrum to stop him. Maybe if he had told me sooner, I could have saved the person he wanted to save, instead of him protecting Selena Moore, hurting me, and still failing to save that important person in the end."

Mrs. Blackwell wanted to say something, but she was left speechless by the rebuttal.
