Sure, Crystal meant well, seeing Logan and Taylor in danger, she just wanted to help.
But what if Carol was just an average girl, who hadn't gotten herself into any trouble, would this even
be happening?
"I don't approve of your relationship,’ Louisa said bluntly.
"L side with your mother’ Kenneth said, avoiding his son's heartbroken gaze.
"Dad, Mom. You don't understand Carol. She's a wonderful person. She's the only one for me for life. I
only want her."
"The Collins family will never accept her’ Louisa stated firmly, "Give up on this idea. I'd rather you stay
single your whole life than bring such a dangerous person into our home. Your life will never be the
same. Once she's recovered, find a way to talk things out with her."
Louisa was just about to leave after her speech.
"Mom, Carol has many good qualities."
"Don't you understand yet? I don't want anyone close to me to end up like Mr. Alger's daughter, scarred
and lying on an operating table. I don't want to feel the pain of losing a loved one. Those people, their
influence is widespread. If you marry her, it's like setting a time bomb in our home. You never know
when or where it will go off. Can you neutralize one bad guy? What about a hundred, a thousand, ten
thousand?
Even one slip could drag her life into an irreparable abyss.
She didn't want to experience the pain of losing friends and family. Wasn't she allowed to?
"Mom, I understand your concerns. I can handle this."
“How will you handle it? With what? Can you guarantee perfection? Not a single slip? Clark, if you're
tired of these rich girls and want to marry an ordinary girl, I'm all for it. But someone like her, who could
bring danger to those close to her, I can't let her come into our home."
Louisa wasn't worried about herself, but rather, feared her children, parents, and in-laws would suffer.
Losing any of them would be unbearable.
“Calm down, don't let your anger affect your health." Kenneth hadn't finished comforting her when
Louisa left, leaving behind a cold and determined silhouette.
All Kenneth could do was tell his son, "Crystal used to visit us often, always bringing a bunch of things.
After Bella and Serena went off to college, the house felt empty. It was Crystal who kept us company,
even going for spa days and afternoon tea sessions with your mom. The last time I had a backache,
Crystal brought over homemade soup, a massage chair, and even arranged for a top-notch doctor to
come over. I'm telling you all this to remind you that even if you don't have feelings for her, this girl who
sincerely cares about you and your parents is now lying in the ICU because of your girlfriend's
enemies. Don't you think you should at least show some concern? Consider how Alger and Celeste
feel."
After he said his piece, Kenneth hurried off to find his wife.
Clark leaned against the wall, as if the harsh reality had struck him hard.
In the ICU, Tears silently streamed down Carol's face.
She had heard all the arguing outside.
She knew it was her fault, causing so much trouble for those around her. If it hadn't been for her, her
foster parents wouldn't have died.
“Dr. Bella, Dr. Bella.” a nurse noticed something was off and quickly called out softly, handing Carol a
tissue to wipe her tears, "Please, don't cry."
