Chapter 2378
"Ruth, take a seat," Rorita said.
Ruth sat down.
Her son reached out for a hug upon seeing her.
Ruth immediately held him in her arms, her face full of love.
Looking at how affectionate the two of them were, Rorita felt a hint of pity.
She already knew what would happen to them.
Things would end badly for both of them.
"Ruth, you love him very much," Rorita said.
"Yes, Ms. Cowell." Ruth stared at the child, stating, "This child is my entire life."
Rorita hesitated for a moment before confining, "However, you must know that he cannot stay with you forever."
Her intention was not to aggravate Ruth, but to make her mentally prepared for the day her son would be taken away from her. She did not want Ruth to be a total mess when it happened. Not long after she married into the Quartley family, Madam Quartley had told her about Ruth's situation, even going as far as to take her to meet
her and her son. It was obvious that Madam Quartley was impatient to separate them both.
Although she had tried to persuade Madam Quartley to let the two of them spend more time together, she was afraid that one day, Madam Quartley would rush to take Ruth's son away from her. That was why she had come to meet Ruth.
She wanted Ruth to be mentally prepared for that day.
Hearing Rorita's words, Ruth let out a bitter laugh.
Her smile was tinged with extreme despair.
Even Rorita, who was sitting beside Ruth, could feel wave of extreme sorrow.
Ruth said in a low voice, "Ms. Cowell, thank you for the kind reminder."
She knew that Rorita held no ill intentions.
She was not an evil person.
Rorita had merely told her all that out of goodwill.
It was precisely because of Rorita's kindness that Ruth told her honestly, "Ms. Cowell, I'm not like you. I didn't come from a noble family. My fate
was decided on the day I was born."

"I am merely a lowly servant. I cannot do anything on my own volition and I must obey my master. That is my unchangeable fate."
"I can't even take care of my own
child. I can only hand him over tot artley family. I understand 19 belongs to en.FindNovelent
own position, I really do."
"How could someone pathetic like me compare to such a powerful family? Don't worry, Mrs. Cowell. I've long been mentally prepared."
"Ruth..." Rorita wanted to say something, but paused at the end.
She felt relieved at Ruth's breakthrough, but she felt a sense of sorrow for her as well.
However, there was nothing she could do.
Just like Ruth's words, it was her fate and she was unable to change anything.
The only thing they could do was accept their destined path.
It didn't matter if things were good or bad.
"Ms. Cowell, you are a good person so I want to ask a favor from you Ruth suddenly looked at Rorita with red eyes, pleading, "Please promise me this."
After saying so, Ruth handed her son over to the servants and she knelt down in front of Rorita. Rorita was shocked.
She immediately held Ruth up and asked the servants to take her son out of the room.
"Ruth, just spill it. Don't act like this. As long as it's within my abilities, I will definitely help you."
Ruth's eyes turned even redder as she sobbed, "Ms. Cowell, although this child is Zorion's, he is too immature to take care of him."
