Chapter 190 A Mothers Reckoning But the truth was merciless .
Finished During Laurens birth , David had bribed the doctors to remove Alices kidney .
All these years , shed doted on Willow , even sacrificing her own daughter to protect her , only to learn that Willow was Davids child with his mistress .
Each revelation struck like a hammer , leaving her breathless with agony .
Her world crumbled , despair swallowing her whole .
In her mind , she saw Laurens suffering , shunned , abused , imprisoned , mutilated , all while David and Sharon smirked in triumph .
Ah ! Alice screamed , clutching her head .
She thought , David , how could you be so cruel ? Guilt and regret pierced her like knives .
She couldnt face Lauren .
After a long silence , she lifted her head , her eyes filled with desperation and remorse .
I dont believe it .
You made this up .
You hate us for loving Willow more , so youre punishing me .
Thats it , isnt it ? She shook her head frantically , searching Laurens face for denial .
But Laurens gaze was cold , unyielding .
Yes , she was punishing her .
Deliberately , she withheld the truth that Willow was Sharon and Georges daughter .
She wanted Alice to drown in the agony of having cherished her husbands bastard while discarding her own flesh and blood .
She didnt want Alice to find relief in knowing David had been duped too .
Those whod hurt her deserved only suffering .
Alice was on the brink of collapse .
Her husband had stolen her kidney , murdered her father , abandoned her daughter , and forced Lauren to donate a kidney to his illegitimate child .
David , how could you do this to me ? she wailed , her cry echoing through the room , raw with despair and regret .
Lauren watched her mothers torment with fleeting satisfaction , quickly replaced by sorrow , for having such a foolish mother , a pampered heiress blind to the viper in her midst .
She turned to leave , unable to bear another moment .
Alice , seeing her go , thrashed wildly , grabbing Laurens hand .
Laurie , dont go ! I have only you left .
I was wrong , please forgive me … But Laurens heart was stone .
Shed heard I was wrong too many times .
Her gaze was ice .
Madam Alice , youre not wrong .
I was , for believing you .
But dont worry , Ive seen through your lies .
I wont be fooled again .
You can rest easy .
Even if I die on the streets , I wont come back .
The debt of my birth is paid with my severed finger .
From now on , were strangers .
