Chapter 220 A Woman With No Sons
She was already 50 years old, couldn’t she just rest for a day?
However, she didn’t want to argue. She just wanted to live her own life. Was there anyone who didn’t have others talking behind their backs?
She walked to the area with gym equipment, wanting to exercise and relieve her sore muscles.
However, she didn’t think that she would meet the person she least wanted to meet!
The person she had once regarded as a friend but in the end, had ruined her reputation behind her back.
So, she turned around, wanting to leave immediately!
“Oh …”
“Isn’t this Mary?
“Why aren’t you sweeping the roads today?”
However, when Karen Adams saw Mary Grimm, she quickly took a step forward. She didn’t intend to let Mary Grimm go at all. Karen Adams continued speaking in a strange tone, “Have you gathered enough money to save your granddaughter’s life?”
Such aggressive words caused the surrounding people to laugh at Karen Adams
However, her ‘heart was now filled with anger.
It was all because of Emilia’s appearance at the Military Department that had stolen all her limelight and embarrassed her!
This …
Could she endure it?
Mary Grimm stopped and retorted angrily, “You! Why do you always have to be so mean?”
“My granddaughter has already completely recovered from her condition. You don’t have to worry about her anymore!”
In the past two years, because of Olivia’s illness, she had indeed suffered a lot of eye-rolls.
However, she could now proudly announce that Olivia was now a normal child!
She was no longer suffering from a disease!
“What?”
“She’s cured?”
“Would it be that easy to treat leukaemia?”
“Where did you get the money?”
“…”
The others started to discuss heatedly once again.
After all, in the past two years, most of the humiliation that Mary Grimm had suffered was because of Olivia’s condition.
Olivia has recovered just because she said so?
Mary Grimm didn’t care much and held her head up proudly.
It was true that Olivia had completely recovered!
She was confident about it!
“Just because you’re saying that she has recovered, it doesn’t mean that its true!
“That’s a deadly disease!
“How would that even be possible!”
“Also…”said Karen Adams coldly, “You better make it clear. You don’t even have a son. How can you have a granddaughter? ”
“Olivia Walker isn’t your granddaughter by blood!”
“You’re already an adult, yet you don’t even know this bit of common sense. I really suspect that there’s something wrong with your brain.” 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.
As soon as these words were spoken, it instantly sparked laughter from the surrounding people.
Although the onlookers didn’t participate in the verbal criticism of Mary Green, their unrestrained laughter was still full of sarcasm.
Karen Adams’s mean words were the one that pierced Mary Grimm’s heart the most!
The fact that Mary Grimm had no sons!
It was because she had no son that caused Ma’am Davis to support Micheal Davis after kicking Issac Davis out of the family.
The ancient people often said that there were three ways to be unfilial and having no descendants was the worst amongst all three.
Having no son was the same as having no descendant. It was the same!
Children of any gender would be equally important but a woman who had a son, whether at home or in public, would be more confident than a woman who could not give birth to a son!
She had personally experienced it and understood how serious it was to value men over women.
Her eyes were filled with rage but she had no choice!
“Why are you staring at me?”
Karen Adams continued pressuring Mary Grimm “Did I say something wrong?”
“Since you can’t give birth to a son, neither can your jinx daughter!
“For generations, your family name would take up the last name of an outsider!”
“Once you’re dead, you will no longer have people who will sweep your grave!
“This is because you have no descendants! You have broken the name of the family!”
Karen Adams’s words were harsh and her spittle flew everywhere.
She had to vent all the pent-up anger she had felt from earlier from the encounter that she had with Emilia at the Military Department.
No one would be able to stand such malicious words!
So, Mary Grimm’s body was trembling as she felt ashamed. “You … Don’t go too far with this!”
