Chapter 21 Every Mother Loves Her Child Chapter 21 Every Mother Loves Her Child +5 Free Coins When I reached the estate , my thoughts were no longer tangled in worries about Luke or Anna . My mind turned instead to my grandmother . If I had known that last week before the wedding would be the final time I saw her , I would have spent every moment with her . I would have made sure to cherish those last days . Now , nearly a month had passed . I wondered if her health had improved at all .

Why are you hitting him ? Penelope pushed Lukes hand away and let the maid help her back against the pillows . She pointed a shaky finger at him , her voice filled with regret and anger . I dont want a heartless grandson in law like him . I regret helping them . I should never have listened to Chloe and had the old man lend their family money . What did we get for that ? A snake . You ungrateful boy ; you left my granddaughter alone at the altar . How can you be so cruel ? As Penelope spoke , tears began to stream down her face . My own heart , once numb from the grief of losing loved ones to betrayal , felt a spark of life once more . I knelt beside her bed , my voice soft and pleading . Grandma , please dont cry . Im here … I reached out , trying to wipe the tears from her cheeks . Yet , my fingers passed through her face , unable to make contact . She couldnt hear my voice or see my desperate attempts . My mothers voice suddenly pierced the silence . Penelope , this isnt Lukes fault . He did what he did for Anna . You know Annas health isnt great .

How could she hurt her own sister ? Whats in it for her ? Its you parents who keep falling for Annas tricks . Anna stormed in , tears streaming down her face . Grandma , I know I wasnt around much after leaving the Sanders . I couldnt be by your side . But you shouldnt hate me just because you prefer my sister . Im your granddaughter too . How can you be so unfair ? Youre nothing but a troublemaker . Youre the one causing chaos at my household , and now youre ruining your sisters wedding day !

How can you be so heartless , not caring about your own daughter ? Luke , holding Anna , looked stunned . Penelope , what are you saying ? Chloe hasnt come home ?
