Chapter 460
As she spoke, Mrs. Mendes quickly made her son go to his room and lock the door.
In that moment, Tina's eyes dimmed. She couldn't understand why a stranger in the counseling office could
gently tell her not to be afraid, yet her mother, who always claimed to love her most, would treat her this way.
"I'm not dirty. The counselor said this illness can be managed." She looked at her mother with a last glimmer of
hope.
But Mrs. Mendes only responded with concern for herself, "Shut up! You got this filthy disease and still want
treatment? AIDS can't be cured, and who do you expect to pay for treatment? We don't have a single penny.
Don't be delusional!"
At that moment, her look toward her daughter held no compassion - only anger and fear.
Tina, already full of despair, lost even the small hope she'd regained from Sarah's words.
Her barely rebuilt emotional walls ccrashing down. Pale-faced, her lips trembling, she said, "Mom, | wasn't

"He's gone."
"What?! Gone? What nonsense are you talking!" Mrs. Mendes's eyes were full of disgust.
After a while, she said, "You better keep this to yourself. If you dare tell anyone and the neighbors start
gossiping, I'll beat you to death!"
Tina hadn't spoken a word since then, just watching her mother with bitter amusement.
"Who knows what they're teaching you at that expensive school? Just corrupting you all. Better givethat
expensive tuition to save for your brother's house."
"Starting today, don't go to school

"Forget it, it's all over. Getting such a dirty disease - your life is finished!"
"Stay hand watch your brother. I'm going out for groceries. Remember, don't touch him. If you dare infect
