Too Late, Mr. Cooper: Your Bride Ran with Your Baby novel Chapter 137

"I warned you," Linton’s voice, raspy from his fever, was chillingly cold.

"But you didn't listen."

Those few words were enough to make the blood drain from Mrs. Cooper's face.

Her lips trembled, and she stumbled back a few steps, bursting into tears. "Linton... Linton! I'm your mother! Your own mother!"

"When I had that car accident, it nearly killed us both, but I fought to bring you into this world! If you won't be filial, if you won't repay me, that's one thing. But to constantly fight me for that little wench... do you even see me as your mother anymore?!"

The more Mrs. Cooper spoke, the more she felt like a victim. For years, she had lorded her near-death experience over the Cooper family, leveraging the fact that she had produced their only, and exceptionally brilliant, heir. Even the old man hesitated to cross her.

Linton's father had seen her true nature long ago and, despising her, had escaped abroad to find peace. Mrs. Cooper, who found him equally repulsive, was perfectly content to stay in the country and live the life of a wealthy socialite.

She had reigned supreme in the Cooper family for decades. The only obstacle she had ever faced was Liliana.

From the moment Liliana entered their lives, nothing had gone right for Mrs. Cooper.

She didn't want a daughter-in-law with a personality. She wanted a puppet—an obedient, docile girl she could control.

Liliana was the antithesis of that ideal. Mrs. Cooper couldn't stand the sight of her. In the past, Linton had never interfered in their squabbles, but now he was suddenly threatening to send her abroad.

Mrs. Cooper's sobs were heart-wrenching. "Linton, you can't send me away! That makes you no better than an ungrateful wretch! I'm your mother! You can't be an unfilial son!"

Linton’s sharp brows knitted together.

He had turned a blind eye to many of his mother's actions in the past, bound by the ties of blood.
