Chapter 2424
Trevor's mother was not just a good mother; she was the best in the world. Wenham noticed her depression and became even more devoted to her. He eventually put his work aside to stay at home and wait for the baby's birth with her.
Wenham was never very ambitious in his career. If his family didn't have high expectations, he would have preferred to focus on his family. A loving wife, children, and a warm home were all he truly wanted. But Trevor's grandmother couldn't accept that Wenham lacked ambition. She believed that too much affection between a couple could make them lose their drive and that they should treat each other with respect, like guests.
In reality, Trevor's grandmother didn't approve of how much Wenham loved his wife. She was furious when Wenham decided to leave work to stay with his wife for the baby's birth.
Despite the arguments, Wenham refused to back down until a problem arose with a business project. The situation escalated when a call was made to Trevor's grandmother, urging Wenham to take care of it.
At that time, there were only three weeks left before Trevor's mother was due. Wenham didn't want to leave, leading to another argument. Trevor even called his uncles to help convince Wenham that the family's reputation shouldn't be ruined over a minor project. Wenham didn't care about the company at that moment and was willing to face criticism for prioritizing his wife. He accused his grandmother of many things but still didn't give in-until she knelt before Trevor's mother.
Even though Trevor's grandmother was kneeling, she was more forceful than Trevor's mother, who was standing. She even used the word "beg" to convince his mother.
Eventually, Trevor's mother persuaded Wenham to go, reassuring him that the baby wasn't due yet and that he could return soon. Tragically, she was right-she never saw him again.
Trevor still remembered the day his father rushed back, only to find his mother kneeling under a white cloth. She was just 30 years old, crying uncontrollably.
Wenham kept rubbing her cold, stiff hands, trying to warm her, and called her name over and over, his voice breaking. But no one in the world could answer.
After his mother's death, the Hall family cut ties with Wenham and took Trevor away. Caline was handed over to his uncle.

Though Trevor's grandparents resented Wenham, they didn't hate him. Childbirth is a life-or-death m struggle and Wenham was wrong not to stay with his wife. She might have felt less afraid if he had been there, but how could he control the outcome of her life?
