Chapter 204

Edmund could understand Alena's point of view. It was a mother's instinct to protect her children, butwhat Sonya had done was illegal.

It didn't matter on whose toes Sonya had stepped on this time. She should be made to bear theconsequences of her actions.

"Mom, I'm not kidding. If Sonya isn't taught a lesson this time, she'll cause more trouble in the future.What happens when we can't protect her from the consequences of her mischief? Everything I do is forthe good of Sonya, including sending her abroad."

Edmund, then, followed the butler to get his wound taken care of.

Alena stood still, dazed. Ethan crossly chipped in, "Edmund was right. You've spoiled Sonya rotten.She's too headstrong. She has to learn self-control."

After saying this, he took his leave. Ethan went to see how Edmund was faring with his wound.

Alena was desperate upon seeing Edmund and Ethan not willing to bail Sonya out.

Trembling, she ranted, "Okay! Okay! Both of you don't care about her. I hope you don't regret yourdecision!"

She then stormed out.

Ethan was annoyed by Alena's attitude. He couldn't help complaining, "Your mother is too blind to see itnow, but Sonya needs to be taught a lesson."

Edmund said nothing, his expression thoughtful.

Ethan was right. Alena never saw anything wrong with anything that Sonya did. She always pinned theblame on someone else.

Sighing, Ethan continued, "It's not easy communicating with your mother. She is noisy and quick toanger. At the beginning, your mom and dad had a good relationship. This led to the birth of you andSonya. But as time went on, they found it hard to get along with each other. Your father got fed up. Yourfather, however, was not blameless in the whole matter. He was with other women."

Ethan decided not to blame just Alena. His son, too, was at fault.

Edmund said, "Judging by my mother's character, if my father attempts to divorce her, she would maketrouble for him."

"You are right," Ethan said, sighing.

The butler wiped the blood from Edmund's forehead and found there was a crack on his forehead.

The butler said, "I'll stop the bleeding, but I'd advise you go to the hospital for a checkup. You mightneed a few stitches."

Edmund replied calmly, "There's no need to go to the hospital. Just stop the bleeding."

The butler looked worried. "What if it leaves a scar?"

"It doesn't matter."

Ethan tried persuading him, "Let's go to the hospital."

However, Edmund didn't budge. Ethan glanced at him and said, "Why do I feel that you don't caremuch about life anymore?"

Edmund was rendered speechless.

Did he look that way?

He was just depressed.

His sister Sonya pissed him off, his mother quarrelled with him, and Chelsea ignored him. How couldhe not be depressed?

Indifferently, he said, "I planned to talk to Chelsea today but this happened."

"Ouch..." Ethan felt a sharp pain in his gut.

His poor grandson had finally found out the true meaning of love. But he was stumped before he couldconfess his love.

However, he pretended he was fine and tried to comfort Edmund, "It's just a breakup. It doesn't meananything. With time, it'll get better. Maybe you are just not meant to be together. I'll help you replace a goodgirl after all this is over."

Edmund stared at Ethan in surprise. Despite how depressed he was, Ethan still didn't think he wasreally hurting.

Crossly, he said, "I won't give up. I've never given up on anything in my life."
