Chapter 512

Mrs. Spencer’s words left Nara and Gary stunned, both looking at her, puzzled.

Gary frowned and said, “Mom, why? Why are you being so extreme? You’re not going to kill yourself, right?”

Mrs. Spencer let out a cold laugh. With a swing of her hand, the sharp knife immediately drew a small, shallow cut on her neck.

Even Nara stepped forward in shock, let alone Gary, who cried out in surprise.

Nara waved her hands in shock, shaking her head vigorously. She was in absolute terror.

Mrs. Spencer, however, stepped back and roared, “Don’t come any closer! Come any closer, and I’ll die right before your eyes!!”

After she said those words, both Gary and Nara were too frightened to approach.

Mrs. Spencer stared at Gary and slowly said, “I’ve always been strong-willed. I raised you, my only son, not for you to slave away for a mute! Gary, I’m asking you, are you breaking up with her or not?!”

Gary’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Mrs. Spencer.

Nara was also taken aback, frozen in place.

Gary clenched his fists. “Mom, please don’t do this. Let’s talk this out, okay? Please don’t…”

But Mrs. Spencer roared with anger, “I tried to talk to you nicely, but you don’t listen to me. Gary, this is all your doing! You’re young now and don’t understand the difficulties and inconveniences of living with a mute! I gave birth to you healthy, not to have you take care of someone else… I don’t want your future life to be dragged down by a mute! Am I wrong?”

Gary shook his head. “You’re not wrong. It was my fault, Mom. I’ve let you down. Please put the knife down, and let’s talk, okay?”

“I can’t seem to get through to you anymore; you’ve grown up and don’t listen to me. As for your college major, I will let you choose whatever you like. Our family does electronics, and you didn’t pick that; you wanted to do medicine, so I let that go, too. But marriage is for a lifetime! I can’t let you be reckless! You must listen to me on this!”

Mrs. Spencer’s words almost drove Gary to the brink of collapse.

Suddenly, Gary stepped forward and fell to his knees before Mrs. Spencer. “Mom, I beg you! Please put the knife down. Don’t force me, okay?”

Mrs. Spencer said, “I’m forcing you for your good! I will ask you one last time: Are you breaking up with Nara?”

Gary looked at her in agony.

Nara waved her hands in panic, rushed forward, and motioned for Gary to give her up.

She didn’t want to carry the burden on her conscience, something she couldn’t bear!

But Gary shook his head. “No, Nara, I can’t give up on you!”

Nara kept gesturing for him to break up with her.

Gary firmly grasped her hand.

Nara struggled hard, trying to push him away, but Gary was too strong, and she, having just recovered from a severe illness, couldn’t break free.

At that moment, Gary’s mother roared, “If you choose her, I’ll die for you to see! I mean what I say!!”

After she spoke, her hand moved forcefully, and the knife went deeper. More blood flowed down, and Gary cried out in shock, “Mom, no!”

He released Nara’s hand. Still kneeling, he moved to Mrs. Spencer’s side and threw his arms around her legs. “Mom, let go! Forgive yourself! Don’t do this!”

Nara, looking at her hand, felt an emptiness inside.

She turned her head, looking toward Mrs. Spencer, and realized she had lost this game.

No son could watch his mother die in front of him…

Nara let out a bitter smile.

Mrs. Spencer looked at Gary fiercely, “Are you breaking up or not?”

The blood on her neck slowly trickled down, and Gary immediately said, “Yes! I’ll break up with her! Please, don’t do this, I beg you!”

Mrs. Spencer, however, still didn’t let go. Instead, she looked at Gary again. “Then I want you to promise me you’ll go on a blind date with Lady Gill’s daughter. Do you agree?”

Looking at the stream of blood from her neck, Gary dared not hesitate any longer. “I agree, I agree!”

It was then that Mrs. Spencer finally released her grip.

The knife clanged to the floor, and Mrs. Spencer stared at Nara with the attitude of a victor. “I just asked you to break up peacefully, and you refused. Now, don’t blame me! Gary, come home with me!”

Gary looked toward Nara.

Nara’s eyes were full of tears.

Gary’s eyes were also filled with tears…

Suddenly, with a bang, he knelt before Mrs. Spencer again. “Mom, I love Nara, I really do. Can’t you stop forcing me?!”

Mrs. Spencer retorted, “I’m not forcing you. You’ve been forcing me! I’ll never agree to you marrying her!”

Gary collapsed to the ground.

He looked at Nara in agony.

But Nara was signaling something with her hands. Understanding Gary’s pain, she didn’t want him to make a choice…

She desperately tried to tell Gary, “I’m Nara Gill. I am the lost daughter of the Gill family…”

Yet, Gary could only understand a few common words in her sign language. With more complicated sentences, he couldn’t understand at all…

Nara’s usual communication at school was either by writing in a notebook or texting on a phone.

Seeing him looking at her blankly, Nara started to search the yard for the notebook and pen that Mrs. Spencer had kicked away…

Seeing this, Mrs. Spencer immediately shouted, “Gary, come home with me, or else I have a hundred ways to die in front of you!”

Gary slowly stood up from the ground.

He looked at Nara, then suddenly bowed deeply to her.

His face was covered in tears, and he felt defeated as he said, “Nara, I’m sorry…”

He turned to walk away.

Nara immediately grabbed his hand, once again using hand signs, “I’m the daughter of the Gill family. I’m Miss Gill!”

Unfortunately, Gary couldn’t understand at all…

He stared blankly at Nara.

Mrs. Spencer had already rushed over to them. She was pressing one hand against the wound on her neck with blood oozing through her fingers, and with the free hand, she pushed Nara away. “My son is leaving you! What else do you want?!”

With that push, Nara took a step back.

Gary looked at her with distress but was grabbed by his mother. “Come with me!”

Nara fell to the ground but managed to find the piece of paper that had fallen out of her hands, and then she read the words she had written for Mrs. Spencer. “They won’t bully me anymore because I’m their long-lost biological daughter!”

Upon reading this sentence, Nara’s eyes lit up with excitement. She picked up the paper and then rushed in front of Gary and Mrs. Spencer, holding it up for them to see!

“Gary, I’m the daughter of the Gill family! We don’t have to break up!”
