Chapter 84
“Yes, it was me who sent you away.” Before Enzo could respond, she hurriedly continued, her speech fast, and she had to lower her head and gasp for breath, “I know it was wrong, but at that time, your eyes were not well, and I just wanted to find a peaceful place for you to recuperate.”
This time, Enzo didn’t even respond. He simply tilted his head slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up with a silent irony. Though he didn’t say a word, it made Pamela feel even more embarrassed than if he had said a thousand words.
Standing in front of him, she felt utterly ashamed.
“Yes, I wasn’t happy when I sent you away, but can’t you understand my situation as well? I had no other choice. If there was any possibility, I wouldn’t have…” She continued to defend herself, with a touch of pitifulness.
Over the years, Enzo had treated her with neither warmth nor coldness, but he had never mistreated her either. She wanted nothing more than to feel the love of her son, but as his mother, she couldn’t sense any affection from him.
Pamela didn’t like this feeling and had always wanted a chance to defend herself, but she had never dared to bring up this matter. Now that she had spoken, she wanted to defend herself thoroughly and hope for Enzo’s understanding.
The next moment, she raised her voice again, “Back then, I couldn’t be blamed either. Your father had just passed away, and your eyes were completely messed up. The doctors said there was no possibility of recovery. Besides, you had such a bad temper, always exploding and throwing things. There was no way to communicate with you normally.”
“I couldn’t let your grandfather’s business fall into someone else’s hands, so I had no choice but to…” She tried to explain, sounding pitiful.
“Adopting another son was also an act of helplessness. In the end, it was all for your own good.”
“Even if you were blind for your whole life, at least I would have managed the family business, and your later life wouldn’t be in poverty, right?”
Enzo had always been reticent. Even if he had countless complaints about Pamela, he had never complained to her.
But what she said was too shameless.
The corner of his mouth arched with a deeper sarcastic curve. “With words like these, you sound guilty. How do you expect me to respond?”
Bang!
Pamela’s hand trembled, and the notebook in her hand fell to the ground.
Being so bluntly pointed out, she blushed with shame, her eyes flickering in confusion, and her lips trembling uncontrollably.

She reached out as if trying to hold onto something, but her hand was shaking too much to hold onto anything. Instead, she knocked over a cup.
As the cup fell off the table, it made a loud clanging noise and shattered into pieces.
Enzo finally turned his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
Over the years, what he resented was not her adopting another son to inherit the family business, nor was it her decision to place him in a remote mountain area.
The fact that she didn’t come to see him after sending him to Evercrest Town was a major letdown for him. A girl he didn’t know took pity on him, and he was amazed by her willingness to listen and offer guidance on how to control his anger and begin anew…
But this biological mother of his completely ignored him!
It was not even proper placement; it was abandonment!
Clearly, Pamela didn’t understand.
Disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he took another step forward.
However, Pamela pushed over a chair in a hurry.
The chair hit the ground with a loud bang.
As a mother, she couldn’t tolerate her dignity being trampled upon. She couldn’t control her anger and yelled at Enzo’s back, “Why should I feel guilty? I don’t feel guilty at all!”
To show her imposing manner, she shouted with all her might, “It’s you who is to blame!. Had you not insisted on leaving, would your father have gotten into the car accident? Why does bad luck always seem to find our family?”
“Have you forgotten? Your father wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t protected you and suffered a brain injury that couldn’t be treated!”
Pamela slapped the table heavily. “You made such a big mistake, so what if you suffer a little injustice? And remember, I made you the West family heir again and fixed your eyes. You haven’t lost anything at all!”
This time, no matter what she said, Enzo didn’t stop.
The last thing she saw was his figure disappearing at the end of the stairs.
Pamela, on the other hand, slumped on the sofa after cursing him, unable to move.
She bent down and covered her facé.
Even though Enzo didn’t argue back, she couldn’t fault him for it. Pamela had long realized that her husband was just doing what a father would do and putting his life on the line to save Enzo.
It was just that she couldn’t absolve herself of her own absurdity, so she blamed everything on Enzo.

Enzo returned to his room and rubbed his forehead.
He lay down on the sofa in the bedroom and let all his strength drain away.
After a while, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Cathy: “Good night.”
When he returned after taking a shower, he found two missed calls on his phone.
One was from Cathy.
The other was from Linda, his assistant.
Linda was his assistant, and she wouldn’t call at such a late hour unless it was something important.
Enzo pressed her number.
“President,” Linda’s voice came through the phone, clear and bright. “I’ve checked the matter you asked me to. I found information about the cornea donor from the hospital that conducted the transplant.”
She took a deep breath and continued, “However, the donor didn’t leave a name, and there is no information about their age or hometown. I specifically asked the person in charge of this matter at the time, but they didn’t provide any additional information.”
“They did provide some information though. They said that back then, a young girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old, came. Everyone thought she was a posthumous cornea donor, so they carried out a battery of tests and found that her blood type and other data matched yours perfectly, making her a suitable candidate for cornea transplantation to you.”
