Chapter 971: The Death of Mila Gray (1)_1

Mila Gray left just a small bedside lamp on, she tucked Bella Scott in, her eyes soft and affectionate as she looked at her daughter: "When you were little, you were so tiny, and whenever you were cold, you'd climb up to my bed. As you grew up, you didn't depend on me as much."

This was her daughter, probably the best thing that had ever happened in her life was having Bella, this sensible and well-behaved child.

"When I was little, I always got into trouble. Did Mom hate me?" Bella curiously asked.

"Yeah, I did. But what could I do? Even if I hated it, you were still my daughter."

Bella wasn't pleased by Mila's words: "Can't Mom just say you didn't hate me?"

Mila touched Bella's face: "My child, it's me who let you down. If I weren't so useless, you wouldn't have suffered so much at the Scotts'. That year, you were almost beaten to death by Tyshawn Scott..."

Mentioning that incident, Mila's eyes welled up with tears.
