Mrs. Harris gently comforted her: "Men prioritize work. Everyone's been busy lately, so it's understandable that Brandan might not have taken good care of you. Don't take it to heart."
Viola Harris felt much more at ease with her mother's soothing words. She stood up from her embrace, looked at her mother, and suddenly laughed: "That's true. How could Brandan like her? He's mine, and no one can take him away."
Then, as if thinking of something else, she suddenly became worried: "But... Mom, Brandan's illness..."
Mrs. Harris stroked her head, speaking softly: "Don't worry... She won't succeed. And even if he marries her, do you think they could last? At the Hyde Residence, there's only Brandan, and she can't even lay an egg... Do you think the Hyde family will allow their son to be left without descendants? By then, even if she refuses to leave, the Hyde family won't allow it."
