Chapter 515 His Remorse

Cora pursed her lips and glanced at Martin, who was busy drawing on the side.

Byron could tell from her expression that she was reluctant to answer the question.

However, considering Martin's treatment, she eventually gave in.

Her voice was noticeably hoarse as she replied, "Yes, Martin is growing up in a single-parent family.""Where is his father?" Johnson inquired further.

"His father and I separated before he was born due to a misunderstanding...”

Given the follow-up treatment for Martin, Cora's response was comprehensive, as she revealed thestory of how she angrily told her ex-husband that she had the child aborted.

She also spoke about her initial thought of committing suicide after hearing news of her ex-husband's death.

"But I couldn't bear to do it, especially knowing how much he had anticipated Martin's birth. So Iwent to Leucrest Town alone and gave birth to Martin there.

"After delivering Martin, I worked at a local medicine clinic to earn a living for us.

"Martin was more obedient than normal children, rarely crying or being unreasonable. I felt luckyabout it at first, but as he grew up and couldn't speak, I became worried.

"I couldn't stand hearing people call Martin a mute. It hurt me deeply. They even used his inabilityto speak as an excuse to reject him from attending kindergarten..."

As Cora described the difficult years she spent raising Martin alone and people's ridicule of Martin,she cried, almost losing control of her emotions.

Byron felt as if his eyes were burning.

He had never imagined that she had endured such hardships in the past four years.

If she hadn't mentioned it herself, he wouldn't have believed that this gentle and delicate womanhad single-handedly raised Martin and grown stronger, facing the maliciousness of those aroundher.

The images formed in his mind from Cora's descriptions felt like sharp blades piercing his heart...Leaning against the mirror, he was filled with regret and affection for this woman.

When Cora finished her account, Johnson asked, "As you mentioned before, your ex-husband is stillalive. Do you have any intention of reuniting with him and living together with Martin?"

Johnson could sense the person behind the mirror was anxiously waiting for an answer.

And indeed, Byron desperately wanted to know the answer to this question.

Cora wiped away her tears and looked at Johnson.

But her answer was unexpected. Both Byron and Johnson were taken aback. "I have no suchintention at all."

Johnson quickly glanced in the direction of the mirror and continued to inquire, "Why?"

"He is getting married to someone else,” Cora said.

Hearing her reason, Byron was ready to push the door open and explain to her.

But before he could act, Cora added, "More importantly, I have decided to let go.”

Byron saw the look on Cora's face, the one without any trace of love, the same one when shebegged to see Johnson.

He realized it must have been his lack of a clear refusal to Nora's arrangement at Nora's celebrationparty that deeply hurt her.

Therefore, Cora made up her mind not to love him anymore.

Yet, despite the deep misunderstandings they once had, Byron hadn't been able to let her go.Now that all the misunderstandings were cleared, and he knew she had given birth to Martin andraised him so diligently, he was even more certain that he couldn't let her go.
