Mother Reed's words pierced Claudia Ross's heart, and she knew she had owed Mark Reed so much over the years, so much that she couldn't pay back in this lifetime.
Due to being overly emotional, Mother Reed struggled to catch her breath, her hand clutching her chest as her breathing became heavier and heavier.
Claudia Ross hurriedly stepped forward to soothe her, "Aunt, please don't be angry, I'm sorry, so sorry."
"I beg you, let my Mark go. I know you're a good woman, my Mark doesn't deserve you. You can find a better man than him, please, let him go…"
Mother Reed suddenly grabbed Claudia Ross's hand, her voice filled with tears as she desperately pleaded.
"Aunt…"
Seeing Mother Reed's tear-stained face, Claudia Ross nearly shed tears as well.
She was a mother too, and could understand Mother Reed's feelings; which mother would want their son involved with a disaster?
