NovelApexChapter 1387:
“Haven't we given you that as well?” Eric's brow furrowed. “Haven't Ernest and | given you all our attention?
We've treated you like family—like a sister. Even if you had real siblings, they couldn't have done more for you
than we did.”
“Ha, haha...” Linda let out a bitter laugh, her eyes rimmed with red. “That was before. Now? One of you is
chasing after Elissa, the other's chasing Hadley. Neither of you wantanymore.”
“Linda.” Eric's voice hardened. He frowned, his expression caught between confusion and exasperation. “How
old are you? Are you still a child? Wake up! You're an adult!”
Linda froze. “What do you mean?”
“I mean...” Eric let out a long breath. There was a trace of weariness in his voice. “People grow up. Even the
closest siblings eventually live separate lives. Even if you were my real sister, that wouldn't mean we'd live
together forever.”
And she wasn’t even family by blood.
He and Ernest weren't that close anymore either. They were both caught up in their own lives.
Linda stared at him, her face blank.
Then she let out a bitter laugh. “So that’s your excuse for abandoning me? How noble!”

Wasn't it the truth?
Eric didn’t understand how she couldn't see that.
And somehow, he knew—Linda genuinely believed she hadn't done anything wrong.
“Have you lost your mind? Or are you just being stubborn?”
“Eric!” she shouted the name, her voice sharp. “Enough of this nonsense! In the end, it’s all because your
heart’s with Hadley now!” As she spoke, she pressed the button on her wheelchair. “There’s nothing left to say.
I'm leaving—"
“Wait.” Eric stepped forward. “Don’t go yet.”
“Why?” She lifted her chin, confused. “You wantto stay and argue with you smore? | don’t have the
time.”
“Ernest is on his way.” Eric glanced at his watch. “I called him earlier. He'll be here soon. Grandma's not feeling
well. Since this is a Flynn family matter, she wants him to handle it.”

Linda stiffened in her wheelchair. Her hands froze on the armrests. The color drained completely from her face.
Linda’s hands clenched the armrests of the wheelchair with a death grip, her eyes locked onto Eric with a stormy
intensity. Her voice cout scratchy, almost raw. “You brought Ernest here? What did you say to him?”
Eric stiffened at her tone, a flicker of confusion flashing across his face. What else could he possibly have said
except the truth?
Eric recoiled just a bit, a flicker of uncertainty flashing across his face. “I only told him the truth...”
“Don't play games. What truth? Spell
it out. What mech Ain?”
