Chapter 535 Eliza's Heart Really Ached
Eliza put down the cup, sat down beside Graciana, and slowly hugged her.
"I'm fine."
Graciana patted Eliza's hand, took a deep breath, and squeezed out a smile.
"After so many years, I've been thinking about it for a long time," Graciana said.
Later, there were more and more rumors. Her mother once went out to have afternoon tea with her friends. When she came back, she saw the neighbor couple quarreling next door. She couldn't help but say something for the man.
As a result, she poked the hornet's nest. The woman pointed at her mother's nose and swore, and even went forward to pull her mother's hair.
The neighbor scolded her harshly, and everyone in the courtyard came out to laugh at her.
Only then did her mother realize that she could not go on anymore.
Her mother contacted Bryce and asked him to take them away overnight.
"I didn't want to go at all. What's the relationship between my mom and Bryce? Not only did we rely on him on necessities, and now we had to live in his house. I couldn't even explain it."
But there was no other way. Graciana was still too young to support herself. She was about to enter middle school and had no money, so she had no choice.
"I still remember that when I was carried into the car, I cried on the window for a long time."
"Then we went to the Lucas family."
It was only after Graciana arrived at the Lucas family that she realized what her mother had been pursuing over the years.
If it weren't for the fact that Fabian's education was ingrained in her, Graciana would have been corrupted by the luxury of the rich.
Because Fabian was Bryce's savior, she and her mother had been treated well by the Lucas family in the beginning.
But later, Bryce's father knew that Bryce and her mother were hanging out. Bryce's father was so angry that he forced Bryce and her mother to break up.
Bryce immediately compromised. He rented a house for them and wanted to drive them away.
Of course, her mother did not agree. She took out a medical certificate and said that she was pregnant.
The Lucas family was shocked and immediately arranged for a DNA test.
However, for some reason, Mrs. Lucas took this opportunity and did a DNA test on Bryce and herself.
The final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Bryce was not Mrs. Lucas's son. He was Bryce's father and the illegitimate child of a woman outside. My mother was not pregnant at all. She just didn't want to leave the Lucas family, so she made up such a lie."
When Eliza heard this, she silently sighed with emotion. "It's all fate."
Graciana laughed loudly. "Isn't that right?"
"Bryce was found to be not Mrs. Lucas's child. Mrs. Lucas was shocked. If the son she gave birth to was not Bryce, where did her own son go? She went to question Bryce's father, but they quarreled. Bryce's father hit Mrs. Lucas for the first time."
Mrs. Lucas had been spoiled since she was a child. She had never suffered like this. That day, she went back to her parents' home and cried. Mrs. Lucas's parents' directly called the police.
The police checked and found that Mrs. Lucas's child had been swapped for a long time, and her child was drowned by Bryce's biological mother.
Bryce's father didn't report it. He cooperated with Bryce's biological mother and took Bryce as his own son. If it weren't for Mrs. Lucas's suspicion of Bryce, this matter might have been hidden all the time.
"What was Bryce's end after they find out everything?"
"Bryce's birth mother was arrested, and his father was sentenced to three years of prison. Mrs. Lucas's family was very powerful, and they directly destroyed the Lucas family. She divorced his father and took the property to go abroad. As for Bryce... he became a joke in the circle."
After leaving the Lucas family, he had only a few thousand dollars on him, and the house bought by Bryce's father was actually intended to be used as a compensation for Graciana's mother.
Later, Bryce had no place to go. He moved to the house with Graciana and her mother, and then lived with the money saved by Graciana's mother.
At that time, Graciana was already fifteen or sixteen years old.
She found that Bryce's temper was getting worse and worse. He was drunk every day and often hit her mother, because in his opinion, it was all her mother's fault.
If it weren't for the fact that Graciana's mother kept pestering him, refused to break up with him and lied that she was pregnant, Mrs. Lucas wouldn't have thought of doing a DNA test and his identity wouldn't have been exposed.
There was one more thing that Graciana did not confess to Eliza.
That was, when she grew up to fifteen or sixteen years old, Bryce looked at her differently, and he liked to harrass her from time to time.
Graciana felt that the his mind was particularly dirty, so she applied for accommodation after she went to high school. During the holiday, she tried to go out and work as hard as she could to make money.
When she was in school, she had been working hard and studying. Every year, she received scholarship, so she basically didn't use much of Bryce's money.
When she was in college, in order to leave that "family", she especially applied for the school in Krine, which was particularly far away from home.
After leaving home, Graciana was completely free.
She made money for herself. In order to pay off the money her mother had used before, she was very hardworking. She heard that she could make a lot of money in the entertainment circle, so she did not choose to go to a famous university. Instead, she chose an art school and began to learn to perform.
However, she was really not good at acting. In the end, she could only continue to perform in the studio city as an extra. Then, she helped to contact other extras, which made her accumulate a lot of connections.
Hearing this, Eliza's heart really ached.
Graciana had had a hard time in the past. She was obviously so good, strong and optimistic. She deserved the best treatment.
"What happened after that? Since you left home, how did Bryce find you later?"
"My mom was diagnosed with an incurable disease more than a year ago. She called me and asked me to go back to see her."
"Did you go back?"
Graciana nodded. Although the mother-daughter relationship had never been good, except for her mother, she had no other relatives. She rushed back as soon as she received the news.
When she went back, she found that her mother was already in the last stage and there was no chance to save her.
Graciana secretly went to the doctor and asked many times, but she still got the same answer.
Perhaps it was because she was sick, or Bryce's indifferent attitude toward her, she finally came to terms with reality.
Graciana's mother called Graciana back and sincerely apologized to her.
After so many years, she had long regretted it.
Every time she received the money from Graciana, she would feel like it was a hot potato.
She had never given Bryce the money and had saved it all for Graciana.
Before she died, her mother held Graciana's hand and told her that there was a bank card hidden at home. There was a letter to her and the last thing left by Fabian. She reminded her to go back and get it.
In the end, Graciana still cried, but this time, she cried silently. "She wanted to live a good life, but until her life came to an end, she found that the real good days were the time when she had been loved by my father."
