Goodbye Mr Captaird
Chapter 17 Rebeccal
Finished
Her mother had always assumed that her relationship with Nathaniel was going well, which was why she could casually y
sy such things
Rosalie couldn’t help but laugh bitterly to herself. If she ever regretted leaving and wanted to go back to Grigo Airlines, Nathaniel would probably mock her so thoroughly she wouldn’t know what hit her.
“Mom, is there something you wanted to talk about? Rosalie asked.
You haven’t brought Nathaniel over to see me in so long Can’t ask you to visit her mother responded,
Rosalie telt a pang of guilt. Her mother’s heabli had been unstable for years, and despite the long hospital stays, there hadn’t beer much unmprovement
Tll come tomorrow,” she said.
Her mother, clearly relieved, hung up the phone happily.
Rosalie sat on her bed, lost in thought. She had just played along with Nathaniel’s act, and by all rights, he should at least pretend to play along with he
But he had rarely visited her in the hospital before, always citing work or being too busy.
Now that things were at this point, it was even less likely he’d come.
Rosalie leaned back on the bed, letting out a sigh. Forget it, I’ll deal with it tomorrow,
The next day, Rosalie bought a few things her mother liked before heading to the hospital.
She hadn’t asked Nathaniel to come with her.
She thought that perhaps this would be a good opportunity to talk things through with her mother and get everything out the open before it became an even ligger issue.
In the large hospital lounge, a woman with her hair styled in a bun, held up by a wooden hairpin, was playing cards with other patients.
Rosalie stood at the door, observing Rebecca Flynn’s profile.
Her mother had always seemed so gentle, with a relined, ladylike aura. She was the type of person who could have easily belonged to an old scholarly family.
Rosalie rarely saw her mother lose her temper, and she almost never got angry-
So when her father had an affair and even moved his mistress and her daughter into the same neighborhood, her mother

Rebecca even believed Leonor and her daughter were truly the widows of her father’s colleagues and had always been extra kind to them
It wasn’t until her father passed away that Leonor revealed the truth.
That was when Rebecca snapped. Despite being buried under a mountain of debts, her mother, who had never let anything break hari, went wild in front of Rosalie.

father left behind a mess.
But after everything Rosalie had been through herself, she was beginning to realize that what drove people to madness was never external circumstances.
When a nurse saw Rosalie, she went over and patted Rebecca’s shoulder.
Rebecca turned around and immediately dropped the cards. Upon seeing Rosalie alone, she asked, “Where’s Nathaniel? Why didn’t he come with you?”
Rosalie’s voice was tinged with bitterness as she replied. “He had a flight to catch today. He couldn’t make it.”
As the most capable pilot at Grigow Airlines, Nathaniel’s schedule was indeed hectic. Rebecca didn’t suspect anything
She pulled Rosalie into the room with a smile plastered on her face.
“I bought a few clothes for Nathaniel and some supplements for Eldon. When you have a chance, take them over to them.” Rebecca said, placing the bags on the bed.
Without the Drake family, she knew her and her daughter would probably have been driven to bankruptcy by debt collectors by now.
So, she was deeply grateful to them.
Looking at the pile of gifts, Rosalie couldn’t help but sigh. “Mom, the money I gave you is for you to keep for yourself. You don’t need to buy all these things.”
Though Rebecca didn’t leave the hospital, Rosalie had given her a card in case she needed money for anything.
But now, with all these gifts piled up, she could tell that the balance on the card was almost used up.
Rebecca waved her hand dismissively. These things are nothing. You and Nathaniel have been married for so many years, and I’ve never given anything to him. I’m afraid he might think I’m too stingy!”

Rosalie opened her mouth to respond, but before she could say anything, the door to the room was pushed open.
