1 gave Courteney a disinterested glance.

Clearly, they were a family, cager to protect their facade.

"Miss Courteney, if you're at the cof attention, you shouldn't wander around aimlessly. Or is it that you simply can't stay home quietly? Your father is in the midst of a political campaign, after all. With his strong support for that mad dog, aren't you worried about stirring up unnecessary trouble?"

My questioning voice rang out, firm and filled with emotion.

Elliott looked somewhat shocked, clearly unaware of the situation.

I had learned about it during an emergency meeting; knowing Elliott, he wouldn't randomly get involved in such strange matters.

"What does Miss Helberg mean by that? I just think Aaron is still a child...."

Courteney appeared startled, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, her voice ethereal.

She hadn't shared this with Elliott yet, even though his father had urged her repeatedly to do everything possible to get him to join the united front alliance.

But Elliott had his own plans, refusing to listen to her.

"Melissa, you've really changed a lot."

Elliott spoke in a casual tone, unaware that I felt such confidence when it came to political

matters.

During our time together, I had always been gentle, rarely involving myself in public. issues.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

At his words, Courteney fiddled with her handbag, her lips parting slightly as if she wanted to say something but was trapped by some invisible constraint.

She had believed Elliott was being attentive in his efforts for her, but little did she know that after going in circles, he would encounter his ex-wife.

Even with her discontent, she couldn't afford to show it at this moment.

With a perfectly sincere smile on her face, her heart was filled with selfishness and hypocrisy.

"I can't be sure about these things; it's all my father's doing. I just want Elliott to be safe- everything else is secondary."

There was indeed a hint of performance in her tone. Every time I saw Courteney like

this, I wondered why she didn't pursue a career in acting; she could probably win an

Oscar.

"You've taken all the benefits while pretending to be magnanimous. No need to feign gratitude; isn't the Meadowlands already yours? If it weren't for the child's illness, I wouldn't even be here." At my words, Elliott took a deep breath, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Melissa, you should know that Dr. Clinton is dedicated to Aaron. If Aaron were also in a hospital bed right now, would you be this anxious?"

I ignored him, too disinterested to even look his way.

"Aaron, take care of yourself. I am no longer your mother."

In the end, I couldn't help but leave my son with those last words.

After speaking, I stood up without a trace of longing and walked past them to leave.

Aaron shouted behind me, his voice filled with grievance.

"Go on! Just leave! I don't want a mother like you-I hate you the most!"

I pretended not to hear, my steps unwavering.

After so many years, being accused like this by my own

months, should have brought me to tears, shouldn't it on, who I had carried for ten

But my tears had already been shed months ago with every time he called Courteney "Aunt Courteney".

I forced a bitter smile, trying to mask my emotions.

Mignon trembled as she stretched out her small hand to touch my forehead.

"Mommy, be good. Don't be sad. I'm not in pain..."

Her voice grew quieter, her eyes heavy with exhaustion, yet she desperately tried to make me smile.

Seeing Mignon's obedient and understanding demeanor, I lifted my gaze. with resolve.

No matter if it was the wolves and tigers of the North or the madmen before me, I would never allow them to harm this little angel in front of me.

Once Mignon recovered, she would have no further ties to the Meadowlands

With the fever medication administered, Mignon quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"So we need to first address her leukemia before starting immunotherapy? Can we schedule the matching for next month?"

"We haven't found a suitable bone marrow match for the child yet. But don't worry, as soon as we have a compatible donor, the child can undergo the surgery at any time."

After being upgraded to the intensive care unit, I slumped weakly on the sofa.

I hurriedly relayed the current situation to Sebastian, feeling a bit lighter afterward.

Before I could fully emerge from my sadness, Phoebe's cheerful voice burst through the phone.

"Oh my gorgeous darling! As your die-hard best friend and loyal partner, why haven't I seen you yet today? Kala and I are planning to hit Onine tonight, inviting twenty handsome guys to join us. Do you want to come along?" "I'm on the South Island. Do you remember I told you about the little girl I saw at the North Tower?"

I recounted the entire situation seriously, and Phoebe's expression grew increasingly grave on the other end of the line.

Without further explanation, she immediately reined in her playful attitude and responded earnestly,

"I'll do my best to inform ALPHA or others. I can't believe Lydia would dare to do something like this."

While I couldn't be a hundred percent certain, I suspected Lydia had used her looks and the guise of "mother" to trick Mignon into jumping out of the room. Otherwise, how could there be bruises on her body? Glancing at my phone, which still hadn't received a reply, I guessed that Sebastian must have been caught up with something else.

I devoted myself entirely to caring for Mignon, unaware that Elliott had already left with Courteney and Aaron.

Tears pooled in Aaron's eyes as he clung to Courteney's leg, choking back sobs.

"She doesn't want Aaron anymore. She doesn't want Daddy? I miss Mommy so much..."

He gazed at Courteney with pitiful eyes.

In the past, whenever his mother saw him like this, she couldn't resist picking him up and soothing him with gentle words.

But Aunt Courteney merely patted his back, her touch lacking warmth.

And somehow, Aunt Courteney hadn't hugged him or visited his kindergarten for a long time, without anyone noticing when it had started.

Dad said Aunt Courteney was busy preparing for a new child in the family, and perhaps

that was why she no longer had time for him.

The few times he had fallen ill, it was the nanny who took him to the hospital, without a mother by his side..

"I think Melissa really has something urgent to attend to. That child looks truly unwell. Dear, don't be upset; Melissa is just someone who prioritizes her family," Courteney said.

Upon hearing this, Aaron cried even harder. Courteney glanced at her designer coat, then still pulled out a tissue to wipe his runny nose and the dirtied little hands. Elliott's voice grew colder, tinged with barely concealed anger.

"Family? Weren't we also once her family? Does she want me to let her go just so she cant become someone else's Luna, someone else's mother?" Elliott's unexpected rage caught Courteney off guard, leaving her looking somewhat distressed.

She was Elliott's mate; there was no reason for him to be angry over someone else... With a flicker of sadness in her eyes, Courteney continued to care for Aaron.
