My Mother Killed Me For Her Stepdaughter novel Chapter 55

At first, I wasn't panicking. I knew she loved me more than anything. Besides, her family was poor—how could she survive without me?

I thought she'd come back in a few days, but she didn't. She even went so far as to delete and block all my contact information.

That's when I started to panic. But I still didn't want to beg her. I had already humbled myself too many times before, and I didn't want to do it again, especially now that I was getting older. I had to maintain some pride, at least in front of my son.

Gerhard wasn't as proud as I was. He quickly started missing the gentle mother who used to care for him, and he lost interest in Lindsay White, the young woman.

I encouraged him to call Winnie during one of the parent-child activities, but to my surprise, Winnie didn't want to deal with us. She hung up immediately.

That was when I truly started to panic. I began searching for Winnie, but it was as if she had disappeared off the face of the earth. No matter what I did, I couldn't find her.

During this time, Lindsay had contacted me, but I couldn't bring myself to care. My heart had emptied out.

I kept searching for Winnie, but came up empty-handed, until one day a friend told me he had seen her.

He said Winnie was with an older man, and that it was because of him that she had divorced me.

I lost control and rushed to the location where they were. The moment I saw Winnie, my heart nearly stopped. But there was a middle-aged man with her—someone I didn't recognize.

Gerhard, too, started to hate me. He blamed me for the collapse of our family and began to avoid me.

I hated him, too.

If it weren't for him delivering the final blow to Winnie, she would never have left me.

But what difference did it make? Winnie no longer loved us. We could never get close to her again.
