he let out a deep sigh “Anthony, you’re no longer my child after the first time you begged your dad to take you to Hamah As I told you last time, all you have to do now is realize your mistake, correct it, grow up, and forget about everything that’s related to me.”
Anthony wiped away his tears and reached out for a hug. “Im sorry. Mom, can you hold me one last time?” Andrea looked at him and did not hold out her hands. “It’s too late for you to be sorry, Anthony.”
Hearing this, Anthony’s eyes reddened, yet he still wanted to fight for it. “Please, Mom. Hold me…”
“Mom,” Ellie said.
At some point, Quinton walked over with Ellie in his arms.
Ellie added, “Mom, he looks so pitiful. Don’t you want to hold him?”
Andrea touched her head and answered with a smile, “If everyone who commits a mistake and hurts you ends up crying and asking you to forgive them, would you forgive them?”
Ellie pondered for a moment before shaking her head. “No.”
“That’s right. Gabriel and Anthony, looking at the time left, this should be the last time we’ll see each other.”
Hearing that, Gabriel turned pale. He knew she was leaving this world forever. knew she was leaving this world forever.
Anthony sobbed out loud again. “Mom, where are you going? I don’t want you to leave!”
Andrea answered, “Anthony, you’re almost six years old and about to start first grade. Don’t cry like this anymore.

Gabriel clutched his hands tightly and gazed at Andrea, trying to engrave her image in his memory forever. Finally, he smiled bitterly. “Got it, but you carried Anthony for ten months before giving birth to him. You…”
“Yes, I carried him for ten months before giving birth to him. Have you forgotten that I haven’t been well since giving birth, yet the time you two spent at Hannah’s place was more than you were at home with me? If you do the math, shouldn’t Hannah be his mom?” Andrea explained the facts to Gabriel and Anthony.
“Also, I’ve long erased all of my identity information in this world. You’re his only guardian. He and I are just two people who have nothing to do with each other.”
After saying that, she grabbed Quinton and Ellie and turned around to leave without looking at Gabriel and Anthony’s reactions.
Once the family of three was completely far away. Anthony aggrievedly hugged Gabriel’s neck and sobbed, “Dad, does Mom not want us anymore?”
Gabriel felt pain in his chest felt as if someone had gripped his heart. He smiled bitterly, but he could not say anything.
