Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 609

"Here's the antidote. Give it to your grandma now. She'll wake up shortly after taking it," Dad said as he tossed me a small medicine bottle.

He did care about his mother, but the person he loved always came first, no matter the situation.

He was afraid that if he went to give Grandma the antidote himself, I might do something to Regina. So he didn't even have the time to save his own mother personally.

Of course, I didn't care whether he went or not. As long as we had the antidote, that was enough.

Once Grandma woke up, even if he wanted to stay by Regina's side, it would be useless.

Actually, he probably wouldn't even want to anymore by then.

Since it was for his own mother after all, he didn't dare to mess with the antidote.

Grandma regained consciousness quickly after taking it.

Seeing how confused she looked upon waking, I didn't know how to explain why she was here.

I couldn't tell her that her only son had actually poisoned her for a woman like that.

I was afraid she wouldn't be able to bear it.

Family is the hardest bond to sever in the world. Especially a mother's love for her child.

No matter what the child did, the mother's first instinct would often be blaming herself rather than the child.

She'd think it was her fault for not raising him right that led to this.

Grandma was exactly that kind of mother.

Although she'd always been disappointed and despised how Dad favored Julianne and mistreated me, she still cared deeply for him.

She often told me that she had been too busy with work when he was little, and hadn't taken care of or educated him properly.

That was why he grew up with such poor judgment.

No matter how disappointed she was in him, she could never give up on him the way I had.

She still held onto hope that he would become a better person.

I looked up and met his gaze.

And in that moment, the burden in my heart suddenly lifted.

He really was such a good man, perfect in every way.

It felt as if any problem would vanish the moment it reached his hands.

If I hadn't once loved Irvin so deeply, maybe I would have fallen for someone like William.

But I had.

I had once loved someone so much and been hurt so deeply that I could no longer love again.

I didn't even know how to start a new relationship.

Besides, I also believed that someone as perfect as William deserved a love better and purer than what I could give.
