After speaking, she shoved the woman away, patting her own hands as if to clean them of dirt.

Madam Aubrey staggered backward, hitting the wall.

“Security!” Beth shouted sharply. “Throw this troublemaking woman out! Remember her face. From now on, she is not allowed one step near Madam Tessa’s room!”

Two security guards immediately came forward and grabbed Madam Aubrey. She struggled wildly, shouting, “Beth! You’re just an outsider!”

“Outsider?” Beth sneered. “My daughter is Lucas’s fiancée. I am Lucas’s future mother–in–law. You, his clueless mother, are the one who’s the outsider.”

At the end of the hall, Lucas watched this scene quietly, his throat bobbing slightly. Sloane gently held his hand, discovering that this always–strong man’s palm was actually a bit damp.

Sloane carefully observed Lucas’s expression, saying softly, “My mom… was she too impulsive?”

Lucas shook his head, gripping her hand back. “No. I’m very grateful.”

His voice was exceptionally calm, as if discussing a stranger. “For twenty years, this is the first time someone has stood in front of her for me.”

Only then did Sloane notice that there was no anger in Lucas’s eyes, no pain, only a kind of relieved calm. It was the numbness of a child who had completely and utterly given up on his mother.

“Did you know,” Lucas looked at the darkening sky outside, “when I was little, she was always very cold to me. I always suspected it was my fault.” He turned to Sloane, a faint smile on his lips. “Today is the first time… someone has fought back for me.”

When Beth walked over, her face still held lingering anger. Seeing Lucas, she suddenly felt a bit nervous. “Lucas, I just…”

“Mom,” Lucas suddenly said. The term of address made Beth’s eyes instantly redden. “Thank you.”

Beth couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped forward to hug this tall “son.” “Silly child. From now on, as long as I’m here, no one will bully you.”

Tessa woke up and was very happy to learn Sloane had found her birth mother. She leaned back on the bed, her eyes surprisingly bright. “Future in–law, come sit.”

Beth walked gracefully to the bedside and sat. Tessa held her hand. “Did you and Sloane just recently reunite?”

“Yes.” Beth nodded gently. “I only just reunited with Sloane recently.”

A look of relief flashed in Tessa’s eyes. “Good, truly good. Lucas is a lucky kid, marrying such a wonderful girl like Sloane.”
