Looking at her reddened eyes, Brian furrowed his brow and asked, "Mom, what are you saying?"

"I told you to leave. Didn't you hear me?" Noemi sobbed, "I'm such a failure. My husband cheated on me, and my son doesn't understand me. My life is nothing but a cruel joke!"

Frustration and despair flickered in her eyes.

Her eyes darted towards the nearby table. She pushed aside the covers, clambered out of bed, and headed towards it.

Rosalynn had been observing the scene coldly and noticed the madness in Noemi's eyes.

Her attention drifted to the fruit platter on the table, beside which Lay a fruit knife.

Rosalynn's heart leaped in her chest. She watched in shock as Noemi hurried to the table, snatched up the knife, and was about to cut her wrist.

“Mom Brian's expression changed abruptly, and he bolted towards Noemi.

Rosalynn, being closer, reached Noemi first and firmly held her trembling wrist.

The knife clattered to the floor.

“Mom, what on earth are you doing?" Brian's face darkened as he held onto her.

Startled and slow to react, Deanna rushed forward with tears streaming down her face.

“What are you doing, Mom? Have you forgotten that you still have a daughter? You might not want your son, but do you still care about your daughter?"

Tears streamed down Noemi's cheeks. She turned her gaze to Deanna and embraced her tightly as she sobbed, her eyes heavy with sorrow.

Selina was also taken aback by the turn of events.

She looked over at Rosalynn, who stood composed amidst the chaos, and said, “Rosalyn, maybe you should leave for now just in case you unintentionally upset Noemi again."

Rosalynn bent down to pick up the knife from the floor and carefully placed it on the table. She then turned her gaze towards Noemi.

"You are anything but a loser. You have an amazing son and daughter.

Many people would envy you for that. You need to live well, if not for yourself, then for them.

I understand that my decision has caused you pain. I can apologize, and whether you forgive me or not is your choice, but I have no regrets.

However, only cowards opt for suicide. Are you a coward? When Brian's father cheated on you, you showed incredible bravery by choosing to divorce him. Were you pretending to be brave and decisive? Or are you just a coward by nature?

If you even consider ending your life because of this, I'll lose all respect for you. If you still want Brian to stand by your side, you have to cheer and fight with me."
