Chapter430
Just like her aphasia, after so many years, she thought there
was no good chance, but she still got better, showed signs of self-
healing, and even met a good doctor who had studied aphasia
for seven years, which helped her recover her speech so
. quickly.
Medical technology was developing really fast, and her illness
was also somewhat under control with these conservative
treatment medicines.
She should have had more hope.
Life only got better when there was hope.
People wanted to stay alive only when they had something to
care about.
She was diagnosed with cancer at that time. The reason she
didn’t want treatment was because she felt hopeless about
Terrence and Emery. She thought life had no hope, nothing to hold on to, and wanted to find a place to die quietly and alone.
But so many people came to her, Cassie, Julio, Kyson, Davon,
and Damari.
Chapter430
Let her know she was valuable.
So, she became more and more hopeful about life.
A little more hope, a little more attachment, she would live
better.
Bethany kissed Shyla on her little cheek and said, “Sure, I’m
really happy to have Shyla as my goddaughter.”
“Great, no time like the present, let’s just do it today.”
Kyson did this for two reasons. One reason was that Grandpa
originally wanted to take care of Bethany. Bethany became
Shyla’s godmother, and slowly she also became part of the
Duarte family.
Another reason was to annoy Terrence and Emery, especially
that brat Emery. Didn’t he like to call other people mom outside?
He just called Bethany his daughter!
“Kyson, but I still hadn’t prepared a gift for Shyla to meet the
family.“–
“What gift did you want to prepare?”
When Bethany was a kid at home, she also saw the gifts people
prepared for family reunions.
Chapter430
If the conditions were average, they prepared silverware. If
things were better, they prepared goldware.
This seemed like a must–have, and I also had to buy clothes and
stuff for the kid.
“Gold tableware.”
We could think about the clothes later.
Kyson raised his wrist to check the time, “We still had time,
Damari and the others wouldn’t arrive for a while, and there
was a gold shop nearby, let’s go buy it.”
Terrence took Emery back home.
After they came in, Terrence walked in front, and Emery
followed behind him with his head down.
In the living room, Terrence sat down on the couch, and Emery
stood in front of him carefully.
Terrence said seriously, “Kneel down.”
When Terrence wasn’t losing his temper, he was really gentle
with Emery, but when he was teaching him a lesson, he was
ma
super serious.
So, when Emery saw Terrence was about to lose his temper, he
Chapter430
got scared and dropped to his knees with a thud.
The way his son looked all upset, Terrence couldn’t help but feel
sorry for him.
After all, he was also at fault in this.
From the first time Emery asked Krista to go with him to the
quilting contest, he should have stopped it.
In the seven years they were married, he never let Bethany
meet other people and never took her to any public places. On
one hand, he had promised Krista that after getting married, he
wouldn’t make his wife public. Back then, he didn’t even know
who he would marry in the future.
On the other hand, Bethany was mute. If outsiders found out he
married a mute woman, the big difference in their status plus

her disability would have brought her a lot of pressure. Most
people would have thought a mute like her wasn’t good enough
for him.
