WantNovelChapter 459
Sarah studied Mrs. Mendes intently. She found it strange that a truly loving mother wouldn't use the word
"probably" when discussing such matters. Throughout their interaction, she hadn't detected any guilt, remorse,
or sadness in Mrs. Mendes's eyes - only numbness and, strangely, relief.
What was she relieved about?
Suddenly, a possibility struck her. She narrowed her eyes. "Before Tina's suicide, had you already discovered she
had AIDS?"
Mrs. Mendes trembled, her face filled with fear. She quickly denied it. "No! I didn't know until | was in the dean's
office."
Her face went pale as she continued denying it.
But Sarah clearly remembered Mrs. Mendes's abnormal reaction in the office that day. A mother learning of her
daughter's AIDS diagnosis would typically react with either anger or heartbreak, but she had shown no reaction
at all.
"Let's be honest. At this point, there's no use hiding it anymore."
Why couldn't she understand this simple truth?
If Mrs. Mendes had cooperated, Sarah might have felt enough sympathy to offer ssmall compensation. But
her current behavior was completely off-putting.

Mrs. Mendes's face turned pale, her lips quivering before she finally spoke. "Yes, you're right. | knew the day
before she died."
The day before the incident.
It was a beautiful day when Mrs. Mendes, while cleaning, found a diagnostic report. She examined it suspiciously
for a long tbut couldn't make sense of it.
But the medications piled on the table - one quick search told her what they were for.
That evening, when Tina returned hfrom school, she had no idea a storm was waiting for her.
The moment she opened the door, Mrs. Mendes walked over and slapped her. "You whore!"
"Mom? What are you saying?"
"You dare ask what I'm saying? Do you know what you've done? | spent so much money and effort to get you
into university, not for you to mess around!" Mrs. Mendes was furious.
Tina quickly realized what was happening. She looked at her desk. "You went through my things?"
"Don't make it sound so ugly. You're my daughter - | was cleaning up and accidentally found those medications.
You have the nerve to questionabout looking through your things? Now you must tellwhat's going on!"
How could she tolerate her high-achieving daughter contracting such a filthy disease?
In her mind, people with AIDS were all unclean.
Tina felt dead inside. "Mom, | have AIDS. My ex-boyfriend infected me."
She suddenly remembered what Miss Sanders had told her that day, "Your mom
will only care more about you. This isn't your fault..."
She heard screaming from deep within her heart.
She looked at her mother with hope, expecting concern and comfort, waiting to hear "It's okay, Tina, mom will
protect you."
But none of what she'd imagined
happened. Instead, she heardhen
