Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 218 - 217: Where Were You Four Years Ago?

Chapter 218: Chapter 217: Where Were You Four Years Ago?
Serena Sullivan’s words were light, but Anna Morgan found them quite distressing.
If she had a fight with her mother and her mother said things like how she regretted having her, Anna would feel hurt for days.
Moreover, what her mom said would be in a fit of anger.
It’s different with Claire Sullivan; this wasn’t the first time she said such things to Serena, and she even abandoned Serena with her actions.
"Even saying, I don’t deserve to live in this world."
After Serena spoke, she rubbed her hands back and forth on her legs a few times.
Claire didn’t make her words clear, but how could Serena not understand the implication, especially when Claire’s gaze fell on her legs at that moment.
A girl with crippled legs, in the eyes of her mother, wasn’t fit to live!
"Serena." Anna Morgan became anxious as she heard this. She raised her voice, grabbing Serena’s hands that were nervously moving on her legs, "She has no right to say who deserves to live!"
"Don’t you ever listen to what she says!"
Four years ago, Serena’s despair after losing her legs was something Anna would never forget in her lifetime.
She truly feared that if Serena ever did something irrational again, what could she possibly do!
"Serena."
Anna started to choke up, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at Serena with reddened eyes, "You still have me and Finn Chandler!"
"Yes!"
Serena smiled gently, bending down to wipe away Anna’s tears as she half-knelt in front of her, "Why are you crying over such things!"
"She said I don’t deserve to live, but does that mean I should die?"
Anna immediately agreed with Serena’s words, nodding repeatedly, "Exactly."
"She can give birth to you if she wants, and tell you to die if she wants, but you don’t have to listen to her!"
As Anna said this, she continued to hold Serena’s hand tightly.
"Serena, you have to be well, you absolutely have to be well."
"Des Davis also said that there’s a chance your legs can be healed."
"Yes!" Serena smiled, though Des had only said half of it, that her legs had a chance of recovery, but...
The other half, she thought about it but decided not to say it so as not to depress Anna and drag her into her sorrow.
"Anna, having you and Finn is truly the greatest happiness of my life."
Without them, she would have already been in hell.
"And what about Ethan Grant?" Anna deliberately brought up Ethan to Serena.
"He..." Serena’s smile faded from her face, "is my misfortune!"
If there were such a thing as reincarnation, she wouldn’t want to meet Ethan Grant again.
To love him was too bitter, to hate him, too agonizing.
Being alive felt worse than death—that was her current feeling.
As Serena and Anna chatted in the room, the soundproofing of Willow Yarrow’s door and walls was good, and Ethan Grant, standing in the corridor, couldn’t hear a word of what they were saying.
However, he stood there, not leaving.
When Anna came out, he pretended he had just come from the room next door, leading the two of them to the dining room.
Anna noticed Ethan’s pretense, bent down to whisper to Serena, "What’s the point of him trying so hard to please you now, where was he four years ago?"
