Elara’s o
Chaleurs grew misty. She took a deep breath, gripped Merida’s hand tightly, and resolutely walked forward. Beau cried out anxiously, “Mommy! Even if you and Daddy are divorced, I can still stay with you! Mommy, why don’t you want me?”
Elara’s steps faltered. It was as if invisible wires were wrapped around her ankles, cutting deep into her flesh.
She took several deep breaths, but each one felt like it was bearing through her lungs. The air passing through her throat wasn’t smooth–it was like being forced through a narrow path lined with thorns.
“Beau, have you forgotten? It was you who didn’t want me.
The small boy trembled. Everything he had done to Elara flooded his mind, and his vision blurred in an instant.
“The food you make is worse than pig slop!”
“You won’t let me eat this! You won’t let me eat that! You’re just a control freak!”
“You’re a bad mom! You’re such an annoying and pretentious mom!”
“You don’t even do anything all day. You just stay at home doing nothing! If you want to divorce Dad, then get out! Just leave!”
He had shouted without restraint, acting like a victor savoring Elara’s hurt expression. He had seen her eyes turn red, watched her cry, and then happily bounced away to call Niamh.
Ever since he could remember, he had done so many things to hurt Elara. What was he supposed to do now that he wanted her back?
Mary tried to reason with her. “Mr. Beau is only five years old! He didn’t know any better; he was influenced by Niamh! He truly regrets it now!”
She continued, “Ms. Jones, how can a mother and child hold grudges overnight? Please, make amends with Mr.
Beau!
“Look at how badly he’s hurt–doesn’t your heart ache for Him?
“If he could stay with you, he’d receive the best care. No matter how skilled a professional medical team is, it can’t compare to a mother’s touch!
“A mother doesn’t need words–just a single frown or glande, and she knows where her child is hurting!
“You wouldn’t want Mr. Beau to suffer long–term health problems, would you?”
Before Mary could finish speaking, Elara firmly cut her off Don’t try to guilt–trip me! The Fisher family hired the best medical rehabilitation team.
“And Mary, you’re a certified childcare specialist and nutritionist. If you don’t want the job, plenty of others will take your place!”
“Mommy, you still love me, don’t you?” Beau’s voice was small, and his eyes were filled with longing.
“I know I was wrong!
“Please forgive me, okay? I swear, I promise that I’ll never be mean to you again. I won’t yell at you anymore.”
But no matter how much he begged, Elara remained unmoved.

Beau nearly cried out. “Mommy, can we make up? Please? really need you…
In the past, every time he threw a tantrum, Elara would immediately drop everything to hold him. She was always there, the moment he needed her most. All because she was his mother.
Beau wished everything could go back to how it was before.
Elara turned her head slightly, looking at her son in the wheelchair. Her clear, resolute gaze held nothing but finality.
“You only remember me now because you desperately need me.”
Mary slapped her thigh, exclaiming, “Oh, Ms. Jones, why are you holding a grudge against a child? Relying on his mother is just in his nature!”
