Holden continued, "Now that we see you are fine, we are relieved. From now on, when your mother asks you to eat or drink, don't touch anything. She is a very vicious person. She even harmed her own sister who raised her. She only loves herself. As long as you obey her, she'll show some motherly love. But if you go against her, she'll be ruthless."
Holden criticized Clarissa in front of his children, though what he said was true. Clarissa was selfish and only cared about herself.
"Dad, I'm fine. You and my brothers can go back. Dad, take care of your health and don't bother Mom unless necessary," Kathryn said.
She knew her parents were now her enemies. They stayed together because they were too old to divorce, and Holden didn't want to give up the benefits the Farrell family brought to the Janzen family.
Holden felt he had sacrificed his marriage and freedom for his family's benefits and didn't want to lose everything in his old age. So, this was how the old couple lived.
"I know. I won't bother her even if I need something. She's a crazy woman. Her beloved man is back, and she doesn't care about me anymore," Holden said sourly.
"Dad!" Kathryn called out seriously.
Holden stopped talking.
After a few minutes of silence, he said, "Kathryn, I made some nourishing soup for you. Drink it while it's hot. It's cold today, so keep warm and wear extra layers."
"It's early, and I don't want tonic soup. Dad, you're injured and need nourishment. Take it back. I've asked Pedro to order takeout. I prefer a light breakfast, just a bowl of porridge and a bun," Kathryn replied.
Holden persisted, "I also cooked dumplings stuffed with chives."
He tried to persuade Kathryn to eat the breakfast he brought. "Eating too much takeout isn't good."
Kathryn remained unmoved and insisted her father and brothers take everything they brought back. With no other options, they took their belongings and left the ward.
After they were far away, Marco looked around and whispered to Holden, "Dad, what should we do? We haven't completed Mom's task."

Marco said with a headache, "I don't know what Mom is up to. She won't reveal anything. Dad, your analysis is off. Mom didn't do anything to om digmeone Liberty, but someone came from Wiltspoon-the eldest son of the
Stone family and a descendant of my aunt. Do you think Mom spread the rumor to harm Liberty, letting people in Wiltspoon know and worry about Liberty's safety, prompting them to come here? Is she setting another trap?" Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Holden was silent for a moment. “I
don't know. It's hard to guess what your mother does. Hermind is full of twists and turns. The people in the bes Wiltspoon are really powerful. They got wind of the news quickly and arranged for support for Liberty." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest
