After she signed it, the pen and paper slipped from her grasp as her hands and legs grew weak.
She covered her face and cried out in pain.
Things shouldn't have turned out like this.
Things shouldn't have unfolded in this manner.
Riley was her obedient and filial biological daughter. How could she do something so cruel and heartless?
Everything she did was for Riley's own good and for the sake of their family. How could she treat her like this?
Heartless.
They were all heartless and ungrateful!
Riley picked up the paper, confirmed its accuracy, and carefully put it away before she looked at Derek.
Derek understood what she was thinking even though she didn't say a word. He gently grabbed her shoulder and offered, "Let's go. I will take you home."
Riley smiled at him and put on a mask. "Thank you, Derek."
Fortunately, she still had a loving brother.
Because she had a way out, someone to rely on, and someone who loved her, she had the confidence to sever ties with Lydia.
If she only had Lydia, everything that happened today would have been a devastating blow to her.
"Silly girl." Derek patted her head. "Why are you thanking me? I'm your brother!"
Riley smiled.
Lydia was still her biological mother. But…that didn't mean a thing.
Most of the time, blood ties represented a strong bond.
But there were always exceptions.
