Rachael was stunned upon hearing that.

After a while, she returned to her senses and pushed Brian hard. "What are you talking about? I am your wife, the birth mother of your son and daughter! We are a family, and I—"

"Leave!" Brian couldn't hear what she was talking about. His ears were buzzing and his mind was a mess. Seeing Rachael stand before him and yap away, he was irritated beyond measure. "Scram! I don't want to see you anymore. Get out of here! Get out! Get out! Get out, I said!"

Rachael had never seen the gentle and graceful Brian look so irritable and out of control. Frightened, she covered her mouth and turned around, thereafter rushing out of the ward.

After she disappeared, Brian's legs lost their strength and he knelt on the ground.

"Mom!" He crawled to the bed crying and buried his face in Belle's arm. Sobbing, he wailed, "Mom, please open your eyes. Open your eyes and look at me. I'm in the wrong. I am at fault, Mom…"

As Belle was gone, many memories Brian had forgotten in the past suddenly returned.

His father died early, so his family was poor. Whenever there was something delicious to eat, Belle always saved it for him and Aaron, as she was reluctant to eat it. Then, Aaron would leave it for Brian. He was the favored one, and he did the least work and ate a delicious meal.

The road to school was difficult. At first, Belle sent Brian to school step-by-step. Then, Aaron took care of Brian.

Belle went to work in the fields before dawn and returned when it was dark. She was always working hard. When she returned, she would wash their clothes, clean up the house, and occasionally make time to make some snacks.

Although Brian lost his father when he was very young, his family was not the poorest in the village. His mother was ingenious and hardworking. As a widow, she raised two sons and kept the house clean and orderly.

Belle would never beat Aaron and Brian because of her being in a bad mood or fatigued. She had endless patience for Aaron and Brian, and she always smiled gently at them.

Brian did not take good care of such a good mother.

He could have been filial to Belle. However, his mind was filled with work and family after he got married. He forgot how Belle dug the ground with a hoe to earn enough for him to study. He also forgot how Belle worked hard to raise him.

I'm wrong. I'm a terrible person. I'm an assh*le! God, please give me another chance to do it all over again. If I have a second chance, I will take good care of my mother and be the best son in the world.

"Mom… Wake up, Mom…" Brian cried with all his heart.

However, Belle would never revive despite how much he cried.

After one has passed away, no matter how sad their family was, they must prepare the funeral for the deceased.

Belle had to return where she belonged. However, the dead could not walk. So, she had to be cremated and brought back to her homeland in the form of ashes.

As Aaron was unfamiliar with Dusktown, he let Brian handle Belle's cremation.

After the cremation, Aaron's family and Brian returned to their hometown with Belle's ashes.

This time, Rachael's parents forced her and her children to go along on the trip.

Rachael loved Brian. She was fascinated by his handsome face and was determined to marry him. However, she hated his hometown.

Having known Brian for so long, Rachael had only been to his hometown once.

She was sick of it after only one visit.

Sanguine Mountain was beautiful, with lush vegetation and clear waterways. However, the village where Brian lived was too poor and dirty.

The village had no electricity or Internet, and the roads were narrow and dirty. There were even all kinds of feces from chickens, dogs, cows, and many more.

If it wasn't for his handsome face and his bright future as promised by Rachael's father because Brian was his best student, Rachael would never marry Brian as his dilapidated hometown was the dealbreaker.

However, Brian's handsome face prevailed. She was so fascinated by his looks that she couldn't let it go.

Hence, although she hated the dirty little mountain village, she was not willing to break up with Brian.

So, she swore in her heart that this was her one and only time here.

This will be the only time I come here, and never again.

After that, true to her word, Rachael never returned. Despite how Brian planned to bring her back, she constantly disrupted his plan and never returned to the village she hated.

However, she came back.

Not only did she come, but she also brought her children along.

Rachael didn't want to go along. However, her parents forced her to do it. They said she had to return and bring her children along if she wanted to save Brian's heart.

She was reluctant to break up with Brian, so she came here pinching her nose.

A few years had passed and the mountain village had not changed. It was still the same dirty, messy, and smelly village in Rachael's memory.

She wanted to turn her head and leave. However, she could only endure it for Brian.

Fortunately, this is the last time! After the death of that old woman, the relationship between Brian and this village will completely disappear. He will never return to this dirty place again, let alone me!

Rachael was happy about her future, but she suffered daily in the village.

Regardless of Brian or Aaron's family, they treated Rachael like thin air. They ignored her and never talked to her. Although she humbled herself to speak to them, they still neglected her.
