Chapter 437 Helena Has Died

Elspeth and Gilbert went together to the sanatorium in Damoria. It was in Damoria's suburbs, not far from the city center, but it was pretty remote, with few people around. On the other hand, she never would have thought her mother would be there. She expected Helena to be in a hospital due to her terminal illness, but she never imagined that her mother would choose a sanatorium, where typically only the terminally ill are admitted. Then, when she found out that her mother was so set on passing away, she felt an intense pain in her chest.

When she arrived, she tried to rush in to see her mom as soon as possible, but the guard at the door stopped her.

Elspeth bit her lip, unsure if Helena had changed her name when she admitted.

It breaks my heart to leave you without warning, but I had to do it for your sake. Your life is still blooming, and I no longer want to hold you back. I wouldn't want that even if my illness was cured because you sacrificed your freedom. I love you more than words could ever express.
