Chapter 1761: Chapter 1764: Tara Hammond Gets Beaten
Tania Scott seemed startled by Evelyn Lucas’s gaze, involuntarily taking a step back.
Beside her, Alexander immediately stepped forward to protect her from behind.
“Tania, what’s wrong?” Isabella Martinez, having never met Tara Hammond and Evelyn Lucas, couldn’t figure out where her daughter’s fear and her son’s hostility were coming from.
“Mom, these two are the infamous Tara Hammond and Evelyn Lucas, the sister’s former evil mother-in-law and former evil sister-in-law.”
Before Alexander finished speaking, Tania Scott took another small step back.
Her two hands instinctively protecting her belly tightly.
“Amelia Scott, watch your mouth, who are you calling evil mother-in-law and evil sister-in-law!?”
Meeting Nolan Lucas suddenly was supposed to be a happy occasion.
Yet Evelyn didn’t expect Nolan Lucas to have reconciled with Tania Scott.
“Hmph, if you can do it, don’t be afraid of being spoken about.” Alexander glanced at the people in the elevator, suddenly smirked, “Old Hag’s face is wrapped in bandages, that’s karma, isn’t it disfigured?”
“You…you’re talking nonsense, I’m not disfigured!” Tara Hammond, who had remained silent, suddenly shouted.
After shouting, she rushed out of the elevator, disregarding her composure, raised her hand wanting to slap Alexander.
“Enough—I didn’t make things difficult for you because I saw you’re injured, don’t force me to retaliate!” Nolan Lucas snapped, unable to bear it any longer, pushing Tara Hammond back into the elevator.
Although Tara Hammond raised him, to Nolan Lucas now, she was nothing more than a foe with ‘mother-killing hatred’.
“Ah…” Tara Hammond was caught off guard and pushed back by Nolan Lucas, colliding into Evelyn Lucas, causing both of them to almost fall over.
“Brother, how can you treat mom like this, do you have any conscience! Even if you hate her, she at least raised you, mom is hurt, how can you lay hands on her!”
Evelyn Lucas finished speaking, tears instantly streamed down her face.
Her beautiful eyes filled with a misty haze, looking pitiful and teary, so fragile it made one want to hold her close and comfort her softly.
If it were the past Nolan Lucas, he would have softened by now.
But now…
“Evelyn Bright, you’re mistaken, I am not your brother.” Nolan Lucas’s tone was ice-cold as he called out the real name of Evelyn Lucas.
The addition of a ‘Bright’ was enough to draw a clear line between them.
“Furthermore, I’ll say it again, she is not my mother. My biological mother passed away a week ago… Her death is entirely because of this woman.”
Nolan Lucas pointed at Tara Hammond, revealing his pain, “If it weren’t for her, my mom wouldn’t have died! It was all her, her selfish cruelty caused my mom’s death!”
Even though Nolan Lucas’s mother was rescued, her health had already deteriorated due to years of mistreatment and oppression in the psychiatric hospital.
Moreover, the years of inhumane treatment had long shattered her mind.
Even with Nolan Lucas standing right before her, she no longer possessed the ability to communicate.
To the very last moment of her life, she closed her eyes, not even realizing that the young man keeping vigil by her bedside was her biological son.
“My mom never truly looked at me from the moment I brought her back to B City for recovery; she would forever stare into a point absent-mindedly. The one causing our separation at birth and the lack of recognition even in death was no one else but Tara Hammond! You tell me, how can I not hate you all!”
Nolan Lucas finished speaking, not giving Tara Hammond and Evelyn Lucas any chance to argue, he delivered a punch to the right side of Tara Hammond’s face covered in bandages.
A forceful punch, crashed straight into Tara Hammond.
Not only was the right side directly hit, but even the right eye socket not directly struck also had its wound burst open due to the pulling of flesh.
“Ah—ah—pain, pain!” Tara Hammond clutched her face, wishing she could roll onto the ground.
That was the child she raised, how could he lay hands on her!
