The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1519

The intricate patterns on the wooden door shattered with a loud crack.

Wayne's vision blurred again, the smell of disinfectant stinging his nose and the sound of muffled sobs echoing in his ears.

"Wayne, I didn't want this for you, I just couldn't stand it anymore... Natalie Stein was too ruthless, insisting on giving you all the shares, letting you take my place. This is my life's work, I couldn't accept it... I just wanted you to get a little hurt, to delay your takeover of the corporation, I never thought you'd be this badly hurt, after all, I'm your mom! Can you forgive me, please..."

A moment later, she spoke again, her voice bitter. "In the end, it's your fault too, why are you so smart. Why couldn't you keep a low profile? Why did you listen to Natalie, why didn't you stand by me? You're still so young, wouldn't it be better to inherit the family business in ten or twenty years?"

Wayne felt a piercing pain in his chest.

The scene blurred again.

On the couch, a frail old woman sat, a teenager standing before her.

"Natalie, I'm the monster you created! If mom knew, she would hate me! She wouldn't love me anymore!"

"She never loved you," the old woman replied sharply and coldly. "Wayne, you're my hope, you're not a monster. You see how well you've grown, how smart you are. There's no child among your peers who's smarter than you!"

"No!" the boy shouted, "I won't follow your orders anymore, I won't be the heir to the Silverman family!"

A slap landed on the boy's face.

"Good, as long as you give up being the heir to the Silverman family, Maddie will be a complete disaster in my eyes, and I'll have her leave the Silverman family immediately! You don't want to be the heir, there are plenty of people begging me to help them! I'm not a Silverman, I don't need to keep the heir's place for the Silverman people!"

The boy stood there.

Wayne could feel his confusion and helplessness.

"Please..." the boy's voice was choked with tears, "I take back what I said. Please don't hurt my mom because of me..."

The scene in front of him dispersed like smoke.

Wayne felt a splitting headache.

He felt as if he was back on that hospital bed, able to hear the sounds around him, but unable to move.

Time seemed to stretch out in that moment.
