NovelEndChapter 606: No matter the passage of time, the memories always left Hadley feeling choked, followed by a wave of profound grief.
If only she hadn't been involved, perhaps her mother would not have met with that tragic accident...
"Mom, mom." Her fingers tenderly traced the photo of her mother as tears streamed down her face. "Mom, it's Hadley. I'm here." Guilt and yearning overwhelmed her simultaneously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wrapped her arms around the tombstone, as if hugging her mother, whispering through her tears, "Mom, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." Yet, no matter how heartfelt her apologies were, they would never reach her mother's ears.
"Hadley?" Suddenly, a female voice sounded behind her.
Startled, Hadley turned her head slowly.
"It really is you, Hadley!" Noreen approached, holding flowers, tears welling in her eyes as she knelt beside Hadley.
"After all these years, you've grown so much!" Her gaze swept over Hadley, assessing her.
To anyone else, Noreen might appear to be a caring relative.
Yet Hadley's eyes remained cold. Noreen was her aunt and the very woman who had torn her family apart, leaving her in a state of dependence.
A shameless person who had stolen her sister's husband, deceiving all who knew her.

Following the shocking scandal, Noreen's father's life ended in fury, while her mother cut all ties... Was she now crying for Brady? Such despicable people, she and Cade; perfectly matched in their malevolence-one leaving, the other quick to follow! Cade had succumbed to bribery, but Noreen... what was her angle now? "Hadley..." Pointing at the tombstone, Noreen said, "Throughout your years away from Srixby, I've been the one tending to your mother's grave. We even had this tombstone restored just last year..." "And your point?" Hearing her voice for a moment was enough to sicken Hadley. "Do you really believe these gestures can erase your mistakes?" "No, it's not like that..."
Overwhelmed, Noreen stopped to cover her face, weeping quietly.
"Hadley, we acknowledged our faults ages ago! We were young and overwhelmed by emotion... Aren't you old enough now to understand? The heart's desires between men and women are beyond our control. But we've already acknowledged our mistakes." How disgusting! Hadley rose, refusing to witness her charade any longer.
"Hadley!"
Desperate, Noreen reached out and grasped Hadley's arm, her cheeks damp from her begging you. "Please, I'm Brady. I'll do anything-just save him. He's your brother! Can you really stand by and watch him die?"
