Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife
Chapter 657 - 675: Even in Death, I Will Accompany You (8)

Elijah Smith saw her come out, raised his hand, and patted the spot next to him, saying, "Awake? Come sit and watch the movie with me."

Isabel was in no mood to watch movies, and she completely ignored Elijah Smith, walking over to the clothes hanger, grabbing her coat and preparing to leave to take a taxi to the hospital to see Percy Stanton.

Elijah Smith quickly stood up and walked in front of Isabel, grabbing her wrist: "It’s three in the morning now, don’t cause any trouble in the middle of the night. I know you can’t sleep, come and watch a movie with me."

Having said that, Elijah Smith didn’t wait for Isabel to agree and directly pulled her wrist, leading her to the sofa, pushing her down, and then sat down himself, holding her shoulder, forcing her to watch.

This was a collection of edited clips, including film clips as well as TV drama clips, all telling stories about parental love.

There were familiar titles like "Warm Spring" and "My Father" among them. Isabel couldn’t name some of the others, and some were news reports from a long time ago.

At first, Isabel found it hard to watch, but Elijah Smith was engrossed in it.

Later, Isabel became engrossed in a news report in the collection about a 17-year-old girl whose mother was forced into prostitution by her stepfather. When her mother didn’t make enough money, her stepfather would beat her. The girl couldn’t stand it any longer and plotted to kill her stepfather, but her plan was accidentally discovered by her mother. As a result, after her stepfather ate the poisoned meal, it was her mother who died. Distraught, the girl held onto her mother, asking repeatedly what had happened. Her mother told her that she had endured all the hardship and humiliation of living with her stepfather just so she could have a complete family. No matter how much she suffered, she hoped her child would live a beautiful life, free of hatred. Her mother wanted her to be happy and live without bitterness.

After that, there were more moving news stories about parents who didn’t fear hardship and gave their all for their daughters.

It wasn’t until the collection finished that Elijah Smith, sitting next to Isabel, opened his mouth as if sharing his thoughts: "This is a compilation prepared by our school to teach students to be grateful to their parents. After watching it, we are tasked with writing 5000 words about our thoughts. Sis, what are your thoughts after watching?"

Isabel didn’t answer Elijah’s question; her mind was still on the news report about the girl who had tried to avenge her mother but ended up poisoning her instead.

Elijah didn’t seem interested in waiting for Isabel’s response and continued: "Actually, to say that parental love is great might be a bit too general, but every story here gives me one feeling, that is, parents always hope their children have a good life."

"They don’t want their children to live in loss, difficulty, resentment, or hatred."

"For them, children are the best gift from the sky. They can withstand insults and slander, but they don’t want their children to harbor any impurities in their hearts. For them, as long as their children are happy, even if they lose their lives, it would be worth it."

Elijah Smith paused, turned his head, looked at Isabel, and suddenly asked a question: "Sis, what do you think parents hope for their children if, for some reason or accident, they can’t be by their side?"

Isabel stiffened at Elijah’s question.
