Chapter 215

Listening to Kristin’s words, Jason slid off his wire-rimmed glasses and massaged his temples.

Kristin added, “Take some time to think about it. If you want to be with Estrella, you need to have a serious talk with her. But you must let go of the past completely, and truly accept her child as your own.”

Jason remained silent for a long moment before giving a noncommittal ‘hmm’ in response.

Kristin, despite her tough love, felt a pang of remorse. It was her son, after all, and her maternal instincts tugged at her heartstrings. She patted Jason on the shoulder reassuringly and said, “Go home, son. Your Aunts and I have things covered here.”

With Kristin’s insistence, Jason finally agreed to leave.

Watching his retreating figure, Kristin called out, “Think it over when you get home.”

Jason waved without turning around and headed toward the elevator.

Alone in the hallway, Kristin sighed helplessly. She didn’t push Jason towards or away from divorce because she knew her son better than anyone else. His determination and choices were his own, and as his mother, all she could do was gently guide him on critical matters.

It wasn’t until Jason’s silhouette had long disappeared from sight that Kristin turned to the hospital room.
