Gloria's senility was evident in her old age as she continued to dwell on the past.
Gloria sniffed coldly. "Yes, I need to take good care of my health and do my best to support Joe."
She had lived her life with a clear conscience, but her failure lay in how she raised her son. Edwin had gone astray after growing up.
Thinking about everything Edwin had done over the past 20 years, she felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest. It left her completely stifled.
Edwin couldn't stand to stay any longer. "Mom, I have many things to handle now that I'm back in Jipsburg. I'll leave for now. If anything comes up, you can have Edgar contact me, and I'll come right over."
"Go ahead," Gloria said. Her expression darkened, and she didn't insist on keeping him. Having Edwin around made no difference to her.
When Edwin opened the door to leave, he looked visibly upset.
When the door swung open, Gloria saw Molly standing outside. From the first time she met Molly, she had disliked her. Gloria was convinced that Molly had bewitched Edwin.
More than 20 years had passed, but Molly appeared to be even more reserved.
Molly noticed Gloria's gaze. She smiled politely and nodded at her.
She wasn't surprised to see the disdain in Gloria's eyes. She had long been aware that Gloria didn't like her, so she had grown indifferent to it.
Gloria could do whatever she wanted. After all, Edwin couldn't live without Molly.
After years of Molly's influence, Edwin's feelings for his mother had faded. The maternal bond that once held them together had all but vanished. The remnants of their relationship were no longer enough to have any real impact.
Edgar positioned himself at the door in a timely manner. He was well aware of Gloria's aversion to Molly. One could hardly blame her; Molly's actions from over 20 years ago were still quite repulsive.
