Moreover, she knew well that there was no love between McNeil and his subsequent wife, who had
been sleeping in separate beds for years.
Even so, there was no way to erase the pain he had inflicted upon her mother. He had betrayed her,
disbelieving her innocence, and forcing her mother to flee and live as a refugee for many years.
But Bertha’s words from earlier stung Ellinor. When it came to matters of the heart, it wasn’t about
whether outsiders deemed it worthwhile, but whether the person involved believed it was worth it!
Just like how she waited for Theo these past three years. Everyone around her thought it was a waste
and considered her foolish, but she never wavered. Ellinor was deep in thought for a long time, so
much so that by the time she snapped back to reality, Bertha had already finished buying breakfast!
“Ellinor, they only had one type of bagel here. I got some for you and your kid. You should be able to
eat this, right?”
Ellinor nodded, “Thank you, Bertha.”
Bertha smiled, “What’s there to thank me for; it’s not like it’s a gourmet meal! Let’s go back;your mom
should be awake by now, and we can have breakfast together! Seeing you will probably lift her spirits!
After her nightmare, she’s been mentioning you a lot, but she didn’t want to disturb your sleep so she
refrained from calling!”
Ellinor smiled sincerely at Bertha and said, “Bertha, thank you. You’ve been such a good friend to my
mom. These years, without you by her side, taking care of her, I can’t imagine how difficult it would’ve
been for her alone.”
Bertha, holding the bag of bagels, patted her arm, “Silly girl! Companionship is mutual. You only see
me taking care of your mom now that she’s hurt, but you didn’t see how your mom supported and
encouraged me when I was down and out! This is the least I could do.”
Ellinor looked at Bertha, deeply moved, feeling genuinely lucky that her mom had such a friend. It was
truly precious.
“Alright, let’s go! Your boy looks hungry too; his eyes are gleaming at the sight of my bagels!”
Bertha teased Baber, who was in Ellinor’s arms.
Baber was indeed staring at the bagels because he had caught the scent earlier. He was hungry and
eager to eat.
Caught red-handed, he bashfully buried his face into Ellinor’s shoulder, too shy to make eye contact!
Their antics made Bertha chuckle, while Ellinor ruffled her son’s hair.
“Silly, Bertha got some for you. We’ll eat soon okay?”
Baber clung tighter, too shy to speak, and Ellinor didn’t push him to say thanks. However, she was still
preoccupied with her thoughts about her mom and McNeil, and Bertha’s earlier words.
“Bertha, do you think there’s been a misunderstanding between my mom and McNeil, and there’s room
for reconciliation? Do you hope I can help them clear the misunderstanding and mend their
relationship?”
Bertha replied, “Ellinor, I just want your mom to be as happy as when I first met her. It’s been a long
time since I’ve seen her genuinely smile. There’s only so much I can say or do. You’re her beloved and
cherished daughter, she will accept and listen to you unconditionally. I hope you can help her let go of
the past. Regardless of whether she’s willing to accept your father again, all I want is for her to be
happy. Truly happy.”
