Unity was not in good condition throughout her pregnancy, and after Alexei was born, she suffered from severe postpartum depression.
Under such circumstances, she also had to protect a fragile young boy within the Turner family, a place fraught with hostility.
She simply had no desire to document Alexei’s growth,.
For a period, she didn’t dare to look in the mirror.
She found it difficult to accept that she had become a weary captive in a secluded mansion, though she was once a genius on stage.
Alexei remembered clearly that the weather was very good that day. Dereck had sent a servant the day before with news that he had finally agreed to a divorce.
Unity’s mental state was better than ever. Waking up in the early morning, she unusually ucidly held Alexei for a photo in the garden.
Unfortunately, they never imagined it would be their last day together.
Natasha reached out and touched the face of Alexei in the photo, who was held by his mother, looking uncomfortable and shy, yet feigning coolness.
She said, “Your mother is very beautiful, and she loves you very much.”
Even though Unity hated Dereck, she never took her anger out on Alexei.
Sometimes she couldn’t help but hurt him, but that was because she was mentally ill.
Until the very end of her life, she firmly protected him with her body, securing a chance of survival for him.
Alexei did not refute it.
Love was an emotion that people could clearly perceive.
He never resented his mother, because he knew that when he was in pain, she was in even more pain.
Dereck was the only one to be blamed.
He fell in love with her, proposed to her, but did not cherish or protect her, and even selfishly
refused to set her free.

All of Unity’s suffering was caused by Dereck.

So, for the rest of his life, Dereck would be confined to a wheelchair, watching helplessly as everything he once abandoned his wife and child and strived to gain slips away from his
grasp.
Natasha turned around and hugged Alexei back. “Where is your mother? Let’s go see her someday.”
Alexei stroked her hair. “South Hill Cemetery.”
The Turner family had its family cemetery. After Unity died, Dereck insisted on burying her
there.
But after Alexei came of age, he took it upon himself to move his mother’s grave, interring her with her grandparents in the most scenic part of South Hill.
Dereck threw a tantrum, but it was of no avail.
Natasha’s voice was muffled. “When the rain stops, we will go see her.”
Alexei slightly curved his lips, “Okay.”
He thought, ‘She is so soft–hearted.
‘She could express so much sympathy after I showed her my past traumas.
‘She only has to feel pity for me alone in this life.
After Alexei coaxed her into taking a bath, Natasha emerged wearing the clothes he had chosen.
Alexei’s taste was quite good, unlike some boring men.
Natasha pounced into the arms of Alexei, who was on the sofa, having also just showered and changed in another bathroom. “When are we eating?”
He asked, “Are you hungry?”
“No, I just feel that tonight probably won’t be peaceful either.”
She looked curiously at Alexei, “What illness does Minerva have?
“Did she live with the Turner family before? The Turner family seems to resent her greatly.”
She had thought Minerva had been living out there with Avery after marriage, but it seemed

she had a past with those people.

She also saw Gabriel secretly glance at Minerva many times, and was severely pinched several times by Cheryl.
Alexei fell silent.
The stories of his father’s generation were far more dramatic and complicated than his. He didn’t know how to begin for a moment.
He said, “Minerva has heart disease and some complications. Avery wants to use the Turner family’s influence to get her a heart transplant.”
Given their current situation, money was trivial. The main issue was that Avery found it difficult to quickly find a suitable heart.
Furthermore, some conditions required the use of new drugs developed by the Turner family’s medical laboratory in Nornytaar.
It might also require providing more drug research and development support later, depending on her condition.
“This is not a big deal for the Turner family,” Natasha said in confusion.
Alexei replied, “It’s not a big matter, the key is that the person involved is Minerva.”
Alexei watched Natasha, who was waiting obediently like Daron begging for treats, for him to feed her gossip.
He chuckled, pulled her close, and quietly explained the situation to her.
He said, “Minerva’s father was once a rival of my grandfather. He lost, went bankrupt, and committed suicide by jumping off a building. Minerva’s mother abandoned her and went abroad.
“To avenge her father, Minerva once entered the Turner family as a tutor and stayed for a period.”
The story that followed was quite dramatic.
Byron, Gabriel, and Avery fell in love with her. The dissolute and lustful Melvin also interfered from time to time.
At that time, Byron was already married to Cora. Since he was the next heir of the Turner family, Minerva naturally focused most of her efforts on him.

Gabriel was an illegitimate child who was mediocre and incompetent, so he just had a secret crush on Minerva.
Avery was two years younger than Minerva, and at that time, he wasn’t really taken seriously.
The Turner family was in complete chaos because of this.
At one point, Byron wanted to divorce Cora, his arranged marriage partner, for her sake.
Soon after, Cora became pregnant, and then Byron died unexpectedly.
Most importantly, the investigation revealed that Minerva had leaked Byron’s whereabouts to some of Edgar’s illegitimate children and competitors.
The matter also involved transactions to steal trade secrets.
