Chapter 1182 Having a Conversation With Ellen
Who wouldn't regret marrying such a scumbag? However, he did not expect his mother to
say, "No, I don't."
Frowning, he asked in disbelief, "You don't?"
Ellen gently shook her head and explained slowly, "Although he has never felt anything for
me and even framed me in order to get a divorce, trapping me in a wheelchair for many
years, I still don't regret marrying him. If I hadn't married him, I wouldn't have had you
and Brian."
Hearing that, Eugene choked up as tears suddenly started gathering in his eyes. He pulled
her into his arms, feeling a pang in his heart. "Mom…"
Having tears in her eyes, Ellen gently patted his back while comforting him, "It's fine.
Everything's fine now, and I've gotten over it. Rather than remembering those painful
moments, I would rather forget them. I can mention it to you now because I've put it
behind me."
Eugene hugged her for a while before releasing her. His eyes were red when he added, "I

same pain you've experienced."
Ellen calmed him down by assuring him, "That's not necessary. Let the past stay in the
past. I'm happy now. I have two great sons and a powerful daughter-in-law and grandsons.
Four grandsons, to be exact."
At the mention of Olivia and the children, Eugene felt happier and suddenly remembered
why he had come here. He took Ellen's hand in his and asked, "I think you're happy these
days because you saw your savior. Am I right?"
Ellen seemed a little uneasy as she embarrassedly snapped, "Of course, I'm happy that I
get a chance to repay his kindness."
Eugene asked, "Have you thought about how you're going to repay him?"
That question rendered Ellen feel somewhat conflicted. "I'm not sure either. He seems like
he doesn't lack anything and lives a carefree life. Don't you think it'll be insulting if I offer
him money? The least I can do is cook him food."
Eugene smiled. "Who says he doesn't lack anything."
When Ellen heard that, her eyes lit up, urging him, "Do you know what he needs?"
Eugene replied, "He needs someone to accompany him, care for him, and talk to him."
At that moment, Ellen suddenly felt her cheeks warming up, and she stammered. "D-Don't
lie to me. There are so many people coming in and out of this clinic every day. How could
he have no one to talk to?"
Looking at his mother's embarrassed expression, Eugene burst out laughing. "How can
that be the same? How can speaking to a patient and speaking to a family be the same?
Would you tell your patients about your thoughts? Mr. Gedding has spent all his time doing
research that he has put off his marriage for many years. Now that he's grown older, he
has no one to talk to, so I think he might feel lonely. You should understand how it feels,
right, Mom?"
Ellen felt inexplicably embarrassed and tried to explain, "Now that I have sons, a daughter-
in-law, a daughter, and four grandsons, I no longer understand how it feels to be lonely."
Smiling, Eugene tried to convince her. "We can't replace your spouse, and even if your
marriage with Dad wasn't perfect, it doesn't mean you can't be happy with another
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmperson. You have to be brave, just like what Mr. Gedding said, you need to fight for your
own happiness!"
Embarrassed, Ellen reprimanded, "What do you want to say?"
Eugene decided to be frank and emphasized, "Mom, I want to help you find someone. A
spouse that can accompany you all day and night. Mr. Gedding is still single. Both of you
are about the same age, and you have special feelings for him. If you can be together,
Olivia and I will be very happy for you!"
Ellen was shy and angry. "What special feelings? I just think that I should do something
because he saved my life, not because I have feelings for him. Stop trying to play
matchmaker. What would he think of me if he discovered this?"
Chuckling, Eugene asked, "Repaying one's saving grace by marrying him. Isn't that how
fairy tales are written?"
After giving him a shove, Ellen chastised, "Nonsense. Get out of my room. I'm already so
old, and you guys haven't gotten married yet, so how could I think about dating? How
would the others see me if they found out?"
