Ethel’s perspective
1 got into the car with my child.
Once seated in the car. I didn’t say a word to her.
My children always paid attention to my attitude towards them, and now she looked at me silently, unable to help but tog at my sleeve.
“Mom. I was wrong
“Tell me, where were you wrong? My tone wasn’t heavy, but my expression was serious.
My daughter bowed her head, “I shouldn’t have broken their precious vase.
As she said this, the little girl bit her lip tightly, her eyes cast downward.
There was a hint of moisture in her eyes.
Sering my
child like this, my heart ached a little
Thugged her close to me.
“You were truly wrong, not properly protecting yourself”
My daughter looked up, not understanding, looking at me with round eyes
I suggested, “When you broke the vase, dal you think about your own safety? If you got hurt by the broken pieces, what would you do?”
The vase could be replaced, but if she got injured, it would leave a permanent scar.
“Remember, no matter what situation you’re in protect your safety to the best of your ability.”
“Yes” My d
daughter knew that I was upset because I cared about her well being, and her little heart warmed.
Seeing my daughter sincerely apologize, I gently patted her little head, “This time it’s also Mom’s fault, for not protecting you well-
“Mom, don’t blame yourself, you’ve treated me very well. My daughter loved me deeply.
“But really, Karina doesn’t like Grandma Thorne’s house, she’s too mean and Grandma Thorne is too cold.
When mentioning the Thorne family’s home, Karina’s small body couldn’t fail to shudder.
Seeing Karina’s terrified expression, I thought back to the images I had seen in the livestream rosen.
Diana’s treatment of Kirina, there was no trace of affection as she would have for a granddaughter, it was like dealing with an enemy.
“Don’t worry, Karina, from now on, Mom won’t let you experience such things anymore.” I stroked Karina’s small hair and made a promise. Karina had never slept well at the Thorne family’s home, but as soon as she returned to my side, her nerves related completely

They had seen Karina’s cry for help in the livestream room
“It’s okay, Karina is out of there, she’s in the car with me,” I said.
“The Thorne Emily truly lacks baumanity? Fredrica, who had the most fiery temper among the three, had the strongest reletion.
“They did that to Karina, and I saw it in the livestream room, I felt sorry for her, and these despicable people, we definitely can’t den them go
“They dared to hurt Karina, we’ll make them experience the pain too!”
1 rubbed my forehead lightly
“For now, I just want to fight for custody of Karina. Even though she has been hurt, it also made Pamela willing to give up custody. Let’s leave it at that
It’s not that I didn’t care about Karna
But there were too many things that couldn’t be done at the
Despite not being able to hear this, I could only choose the best way to resolve it for Karina’s future.
Upon hearing that Pamela had signed the agreement to give up custody. Fredrica’s anger subsided.
“Ethel, you did the right thing. We can’t let Karina suffer because of their anger. Let’s go home quickly, I’ll cook a nice meal to welcome you.”
“Okay,”
⠀ After hanging up. I felt a warmth in my heart.
Although we were no longer married, I had many friends who cared about me and Karina

When my car arrived at my residence, Fredrica was standing outside wearing a scarf
Karina had just woken up, her eyes still hazy
Fredrica carefully hugged her in her arms and kissed her nonstop. “Our family’s child has been hurt.”
“Not hurt.” Karina shook her head innocently, returning the kiss on Fredrica’s face, not forgetting to look at me, “Mom saved me from there.”
“You’re a good girl, let’s go upstairs.” Fredrica carried Karina towards the gate.
At this monent, my gaze didn’t shift, fixed to a certain point.
There, an image appeared.

Then, his pair fell on karnia.

“You two are divorced, there’s nothing more in say!” Fredrica stood up strong to protect me

After Fredrica and Karina went upstairs. I turned hack to look at Hale with a faint smile, “What’s the math? Speak up.”
Hale’s face tightened, becoming even worse when he saw Karina trying to stay away from him.
“Did you force my mother to sign the agreement giving up custody of Karina?” Without beating around the hush, he asked directly,
1 replied coldly with a single “Yes”
This matter, sooner or later, Hale would find out.
“This is good for you and Cathy.”
“Whether it’s good or not for me, I’ll decide for myself, not you!” Hale angrily interrupted.
His words were hard to hear and poorly expressed.
I no longer maintained a pleasant expression for him, curling up a corner of my lips. “Well, let’talk about what’s good or not for Karina. I am her mother, and it’s my decision whether she’s doing well or not!”
“I let you take care of Karina, but you’re trying to take advantage, even depriving her of her rights, acknowledging her father, acknowledging her grandmother, acknowledging her biological mother. Is that good for her? Hale’s mood was terrible, and his tone was venomous
Throughout our marriage, he had never spoken so harshly to me.
Now, after the divorce, every word, every letter, felt like a knife, a hatred that couldn’t kill me
