Chapter 16 Nother Robin nor Kane showed a shred of mercy as they looked at the scene before them . Remove every photo of Mom from around her , Kane ordered coldly . Also , cover the entire room with mirrors . I want her to see exactly what she looks like now . She doesnt look anything like my mom ! Shes not my mom ! The bodyguards moved immediately to carry out the command . Within minutes , mirrors were placed in every corner of the hospital room , leaving no angle uncovered . No matter where she turned , Constance could see her face . She didnt dare open her eyes. Every time she did , it threw her into an unending nightmare . She was on the verge of madness . And yet , her punishment had only just begun . Everything Elena had once suffered , Constance now endured in full . After being tormented to the point of physical collapse , her entire body withered away . She became thin , almost skeletal . She no longer looked anything like Evangeline , even without the scars on her face . Finally , Robin and Kane brought Constance to Evangelines grave . Bow your head . Apologize to Evangeline , Robin said . Constance was numb to it all . At that point , she would do anything to stay alive . Even groveling and begging for forgiveness no longer seemed beneath her . Like a soul stripped of reason , she began to slam her head against the ground , again and again . She didnt stop even when blood began pouring from her forehead . She knew too well that if Robin and Kane were dissatisfied , then stopping would only result in being forced to continue . Im sorry … Ms. Evangeline … I shouldnt have tried to imitate you … I shouldnt have hurt Elena … It was all my fault … She repeated the words over and over , her voice hoarse and nearly unbearable to hear . This time , Constance truly regretted everything . If she had known the father and son would go this far , Constance would have obediently played her role as a stand in . She would have taken whatever money she was owed and never entertained a single selfish thought . But now , she was left with nothing . Still , she wondered was it their love and devotion to Evangeline that made them act this way , or was it regret and longing for Elena that weighed heavier in their hearts ? She didnt know , but it no longer concerned her . After who knew how many bows and apologies , Constances vision went black , and she finally fainted . Seeing the broken figure of the woman on the ground , so mangled she was barely recognizable , neither Robin nor Kane felt even flicker of satisfaction . Instead , their hearts were filled with frustration and emptiness , like they had lost something deeply importa Dad , I dont want to keep getting our hands dirty . Let the bodyguards take care of Constance from now on . I … I just want to find Elena , Kane said softly while looking up at Robin pitifully . His attachment to Elena had only grown deeper after so many days . He used to think he didnt like her that much and that he would be happier if she left . He had even pushed her to go . But now , he understood that he had liked her . His Intense hatred was just a warped version of love . E He hated her only because he thought she had killed his real mother . With Constances constant manipulation , he refused to believe anything Elena said . Now that the truth was out , Kane was filled with genuine remorse . Elena had been the one to care for him since he was born , so how could he not like her ? But he had hurt her so deeply . She must have been utterly heartbroken … That was why she left him . Sadness and longing filled Kanes pale little face Robin stayed silent for a long while . Then he reached out and gently ruffled his sons hair while letting out a long sigh . Lets go find her then . We both owe her too much . Its time we gave her the apology she deserves After leaving the cemetery , the father and son ordered the bodyguards to take Constance away .
