"But I thought you understood." Mrs. Winter was embarrassed and hurt.
Shelly looked at Mrs. Winter. 'So what if I didn't understand? What can you do about that?'
Back then, when she was in a car accident and her life was on the line, everyone in the Winters came to see her except for Nox. Grandpa Winter was angry that he beat Nox half to death.
Fortunately, the doctors managed to save her life. Other than being disfigured and suffering from many wounds on her body, her limbs were intact. When she was in the hospital, Mrs. Winter cried so hard and asked her to leave Nox on her own accord. Otherwise, Grandpa Winter would definitely beat Nox to death.
Shelly knew from then on that Nox would always be the most important person in the Winters' heart. Of course, she understood their perspective. After all, Nox was the biological son of Mr. and Mrs. Winter. As they said, blood was thicker than water, so it was only right for them to take care of Nox.
