Chapter 1325:
Now she did. That was simply who he was. Once he chose something, he held on.
“Whenever he talked about you, he was smiling,” Myah said. “I could tell he had feelings for you p>
Myah turned to Margo, her gaze sharp—like thorns sinking straight into her chest.
“And you? Do you feel the same about him p>
Her tone was light, but the question landed heavily. Margo’s breath hitched.
She parted her lips, but no answer came. It hovered just beyond reach, unsaid.
“Still, whether you love him or not doesn’t matter,” Myah continued, her voice threaded with helplessness and quiet sorrow, as though she were forcing herself not to break. “He’s my son. I know him better than anyone p>
Margo’s lips trembled. Tears kept spilling as she wiped at her face, trying to see Dunn clearly, but her vision refused to steady.
“Easy now. Don’t cry.” Myah looked at her and gently stroked her hair. “This was an accident. It can’t be your fault p>
In truth, Myah didn’t feel hatred or resentment toward Margo. Perhaps she’d come to like the girl her son loved.
Or perhaps it was the way Margo had stood outside this ward for the past two days—quiet, shaken, and unwilling to leave—that had softened her heart.
Myah had always believed Margo was kind at her core.

Myah placed her hand over Margo’s trembling one. Gathering her resolve, she said, “Even though I know he cares about you deeply, I hope you won’t appear in front of him again in the future p>
That landed like a final verdict.
Margo’s mind went blank. She stared at Myah, dazed, unable to form a single word.
“Can you do that for me?” Myah asked again, watching Margo’s silence closely.
But Margo could barely hear her anymore. She bit down hard on her lip and clenched her fists to keep from shaking.
His mother wanted her gone—for good. She wanted her to stop disrupting his life and give him back his peace.
And maybe she should agree. Their meeting had changed everything. Besides, she still had feelings for Rory, didn’t she?
So why, at the thought of leaving Dunn behind, did it feel like someone was twisting a knife in her heart?
Margo couldn’t answer. She stumbled out of the ward in a haze.
The moment the door clicked shut, the strength drained out of her legs. She slid down against the wall, collapsing to the floor as silent tears streamed down her face.
