CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
Chapter 1315

Quincy felt utterly defeated. He and Lydia had genuinely loved each other and had both invested in their relationship. How did he end up being compared to a total simp?

"Lydia never did anything to betray me. If anyone was in the wrong, it was me. But Mom, drugging your own son? That's something only you could do." Quincy turned and looked at his mother, lying there in the hospital bed. The bitterness and frustration in his heart were almost overwhelming. He still couldn't come to terms with the fact that his own mother had drugged him.

But she was sick, and as her son, he couldn't just bring up old grievances or walk away while she lay there unwell. So, he buried everything deep down, though it made him feel suffocated.

Mabel hadn't heard about the drugging incident. She glanced at Mrs. Perez, clearly shocked. When they had asked for her help, they hadn't mentioned that little detail.

Mrs. Perez started to cough violently. Tiffany quickly stepped forward, gently patting her back. "Mrs. Perez, the doctors said you need to avoid getting worked up. You should really try to rest."

"Tiffany, you're seeing this yourself. I'm just lying here, doing nothing, but some people are determined to upset me," Mrs. Perez muttered, keeping her eyes locked on Quincy, making it obvious who she was referring to.

Quincy couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, Mom, if my being here is making you upset, then maybe I should just leave. That way, you can focus on getting better." He was fed up, and he feared what he might do or say if he stayed any longer.

"Fine, leave. And don't bother

coming back," she replied, her voice

breaking as her eyes welled up with tears. "I raised you, Quincy. I gave everything for you, and now that old and sick, I'm nothing but a

burden. Go on, live your life however you please. Don't worry about

me.

Even if I die, I won't bother you. I should've never been a teacher. How could I teach others when I failed with my own son? You've forgotten

the most basic filial piety."

Her words were heavy with guilt, laced with emotional blackmail. Even Mabel, who had been trying to support her, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with the manipulation.

It was almost enough to make her side with Quincy, but she remembered the hefty sum she had received and the things she disliked about Lydia.

So, she forced herself to keep going. "Quincy, just let it go. Don't argue with someone who's sick. Just do what she wants, at least until she's well enough to handle all this."

Quincy's eyes began to mist. He had

always tried to prove himself, to show Lydia's parents that he could provide for her, that he could give her the life she deserved. But while he could earn money and buy Lydia the things she wanted, he couldn't change his mother's attitude.

"Fine, go if you want. Mabel came all the way from the neighboring state to see me. should at least show

some appreciation. Why don't youet

go out with Tiffany and pick something up for her?" Mrs. Perez had come up with yet another attempt to push him and Tiffany together.

She added, "After all, Tiffany and her are close in age, and they're both young women. They probably like the same things, so it makes sense for you to take her along."
