The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2301

I had been mulling things over in my mind for a long time, but I still could not jump my way out of this story.

Theo came in, saw my dumbfounded expression, and approached me with a smile. He put his hand on my head. "Still thinking about it?"

I lowered my head and muttered a 'yes'. I was quiet for a long time. It felt like my throat was stuck. "I did my best to look into my own background, but now I'm so shocked after replaceing out the truth. Theo, why do you think I'm like this?"

It felt like I did not understand myself. I had been wanting to know who my biological parents were and what my background was for the past 20 years. I finally figured it out today, but it just felt off.

Theo smiled softly and sat across from me. His gentle gaze was on me and his voice was soft. "I understand."

"Really?" I froze and looked up at him.

"Yeah." Theo pursed his thin lips and let out a light exhaled lightly before he continued, "I think you wouldn't be so distressed if it was just some small family, but now the Yards are involved. They once dominated the capital. That weighs on you, doesn't it?" His words woke me.

What was binding me was not what had happened but the Yard family's background.

They were a legendary family, but Millicent chose to end her life by jumping off the mountain from the pressure Silas was exerting on her. This was the shadow that had attached itself to Silas' life that he could not get rid of.

As for me, I could not seem to understand how he forced his own daughter to her death.

Millicent Yard was my mother. I should be feeling hatred for Silas.

However, I did not feel anything now. I did not have feelings for Millicent because I had no memories of her. I also did not have any affection for the Yards.

"Yes, the Yards are unfamiliar to me. I don't have any feelings for them. It feels like I don't even need to think about them. I'd better live my own life. What do you think?"

"Having said that, though, Cole... No, Sylvester probably came looking for you now because he wants to acknowledge you as part of the family and bring you home to meet Silas said Theo as he looked at me.

I nodded. "Perhaps. But I wonder if this is necessary. I have a husband and children now, a whole family. So what if I'm a Yard? We're already married, so why should I go back? We can pretend it didn't happen."

"You can, but the Yards don't think so. I think Sylvester will definitely want to take you back, at least to acknowledge you as part of the family."

"It's enough that they have Sylvester,

no? To put it bluntly, Silas regrets

е

forcing his daughter to her death, sq now he wants his granddaughter back to make amends. She's been dead for so many years, so why bother?" I said with a wry smile. I did not understand what Silas was

doing.

Theo scrutinized me and slowly smiled. "You're right, Madam. You should follow your heart. It's best to be happy."

With someone who understood me like this by my side, what else could I ask for?

"Such a complicated world is not one I can break into. It's better for me to be here. It's already great that I have you, the children, and my friends."

I smiled brightly and Theo embraced me.

His embrace was so warm, and it instantly calmed me. The Yards? They were just passersby. I was very satisfied with my life now.

I ought to just breeze through life, happy and relaxed, instead of being involved in those grievances.

I made my decision. My heart would not be convinced otherwise even if Sylvester were to speak.

As for the Yards, let bygones be bygones.
