The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1501

"Of course, but before that, I still have a story to tell you."

Ronny said. He then continued to recount in an unhurried way.

"Initially, Lady Winnie and Mr. Hodds were delighted to have Mr. Alex, but Lady Winnie was not welcomed by the elders. And with the issue regarding genes, the elders had more excuses to use.

"They began to make things difficult for Lady Winnie and often bullied her when Mr. Hodds was not around."

I knew this happened everywhere, not to mention in a prominent family like that.

"It was precisely because of that that Mr. Hodds treated her even better, but Mr.

Hodds’ adoration for her was not enough to dissuade the elders and garnered even more dissatisfaction. Lady Winnie knew this must not go on, so she decided to study genes to correct Mr. Alex's genes."

Coffee was served, but neither of us picked it up.

"Isn't there a certificate from the hospital?" I was puzzled.

"Is that not enough? The Hodds is such a major enterprise. They can't be lacking in private hospitals, can they? If they don’t trust the doctors out there, they could totally get private hospitals to perform a DNA test for Alex."

Ronny shook his head. "You can never wake up a person who's pretending to be asleep. Similarly, it’s impossible to reason with someone who's deliberately trying to pick a fight with you."

The other party seemed to know what I was thinking and chuckled bitterly, saying, "You think it’s impossible too, right, Mrs. Grant? But Lady Winnie was forced to a dead-end at the time. She refused to give up on this research and acted as though she had been possessed. She refused to listen no matter how Mr. Hodds persuaded her."

"Finally, her health deteriorated from the strain, and her mental state fell into a trance. She only felt a little better after Mr. Hodds dragged her out of the laboratory by force."

Ronny let out a long sigh. "But Mr. Alex was already 12 at the time. He began to worry for his mother when he saw her state." "Under circumstances like that, Lady Winnie's health deteriorated further. Sometimes, she would be awake. But sometimes, she would go insane. The thing she said the most to Mr. Alex was that he must remember that he was a Hodds and the blood flowing in his veins belonged to the Hodds. He had nothing to do with the Lynches.”

The story made my heart ache.

"At the time, Mr. Alex was still very confused. He was terrified to hear his mother say those things. In order to protect his son, Mr. Hodds had no choice but to separate him and Lady Winnie temporarily. But no one expected the separation to last forever."
