When they arrived at the room, she pushed the door open to find Ivy closing the windows.
The wind outside had picked up, and Ivy, who had been in poor health for years, was still taking various medications.
Years ago, she had exhausted herself searching for Einmalie, and it was during that ther health deteriorated. Seeing Ivy so frail stirred a strange feeling in Thea Back then, Thea had spent years bringing in specialists to treat Ivy's condition, even making nourishing soups for her. AnytIvy felt unwell, Thea would drop everything to accompany her to the doctor. Looking back now, Thea realized that all her efforts had meant nothing to Ivy. A few sweet words from Emmalie had earned Ivy's approval, while Thea's sacrifices were taken for granted.
Ky noticed Thea's presence.
Annoyed that Thea hadn't even cared about her coughing, Ivy frowned. Thea, if I were to collapse in front of you one day, would you not even blink? Be honest with me. Do you still seeas your mother?"

Did you see her ask how you were doing even once?" side the entire For a moment, Ivy's expression froze. She quickly forced an explanation "Emmalie's still young. She probably didn't notice.

"Mom, what was your plan when you took the gift I prepared for Max and turned it into Emmalie's? Did you want to embarrassin front of everyone?" Ivy opened her mouth to argue but, seeing the icy look on Thea's face, knew it was pointless.
Growing impatient, Ivy snapped. "Emmalie's been too busy lately to get Max a present. Max and Emmalie are so close, and if he knew she didn't get him anything, he'd be disappointed. I just didn't want that to happen." Ivy paused for a moment and continued, "What's so wrong with that? You've always been distant from the family, and Max wouldn't have cared if you hadn't gotten him a gift anyway." Thea was stunned by her logic.

Between gasps, she managed, "Thea how could I have raised! such a heartless daughter?"
Thea's smile didn't waver. "You hate me, right? Well, I've got a suggestion. Let's sever our mother-
