Chapter 14
Ethan sobbed as he reached out his arm to me, revealing a large bruise.
It looked serious on his delicate arm.
I had no choice but to take him to the clinic.
But it only looked serious.
It was just a scratch.
Ethan screamed in pain, refusing to cooperate with the doctor in applying the medicine.
I shot him a cold glance.
Ethan immediately shut up.
He really looked so in pain that his little face was scrunched up.
Still, he gave me big puppy eyes, wanting to approach me, yet very
cautious.
I sighed and sat opposite him when the doctor went out to get the medicine.
“Ethan, what exactly do you want?
“It is you who said you don’t want me as your mother, and it is also you who said you want me to leave.

“Now that you’re a big boy, the first thing you need to learn is to take responsibility for your actions.”
Ethan stubbornly shook his head.
“Those were only angry words. I didn’t mean it.
“You were so stubborn. I couldn’t help but say that out of anger.
“I got angry because you eavesdropped on me. I feel like you didn’t respect me.
“Mom, as long as you are willing to go back with me and Dad, I am willing to admit my mistake.”
I frowned. “Really? Can you tell me what you did wrong?”
Ethan stammered for a long time without being able to say a
word.
I looked at his face, which bore the features of both me and Corey, and suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.
He and I were somewhat alike.
When he was born, I always liked to boast about Ethan’s eyes with Corey. These eyes were exactly the same as mine.
Even if I were disheartened by Ethan, I wouldn’t wish him to have a bad life in the future.
But unfortunately, his dad was Corey.
He would never realize his problems. He would always think he
Instead of wasting time talking to Ethan, I called Corey and ked him to come pick Ethan up.
Obviously, Corey didn’t know what had happened to Ethan.
Upon receiving my call, he couldn’t help but become panicked.
“I’ll be right over.”
I told Ethan that Corey would come to pick him up soon and that he should stay in the hospital.
But as soon as I left, Ethan followed me.
“Mom, why are you so cruel to me?
“I fell today trying to catch up with you, but you walked too fast.
“Today is my birthday. I just want to hear you wish me ‘Happy Birthday‘ and have the cake you make with your own hands. Is that a too much to ask?
“Did you forget my birthday?”
Looking at Ethan’s accusatory gaze, I found it funny.
“To be honest, I forgot that today was your birthday.”
I didn’t say that to upset him. It was true.
Ethan’s face gradually turned pale.
He murmured, “You really don’t love me anymore.”

I raised my eyebrows. “I’m glad you know that.”

But I walked far away and still heard Ethan’s frustrated voice.
He said that I only had one son, and no matter what, I would have to rely on him to take care of me in my old age.
He even spoke recklessly and began to attack Mia.
He said that Mia was just a girl and a girl couldn’t provide any support.
I knew very well who taught him these things.
But Ethan was already eight years old.
At the age of eight, one began to develop their most basic sense of right and wrong.
I suddenly began to feel a sense of disgust towards Ethan who shared the same blood as me.
Genes were really powerful.
