Could they please let that go already? Could this be the last time someone brought it up? When would people finally stop mentioning it?

Oriel didn’t seem to notice how uncomfortable she was and continued, visibly excited, “But that’s how our Shanks women. are. If he doesn’t like us, who cares–just sleep with him first and make him one of ours.”

“And I heard you were the one who filed for divorce. Good for youl Took guts, and you cut it clean. Kept the baby, dumped the man–1 respect that.”

Becky:

She had no idea how to respond to that.

Suddenly. Wayne appeared behind them.

His voice came quietly: “What, you thinking of dumping me and keeping the kid too?”

Oriel turned around. “If you piss me off. I will.”

Wayne “You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me.”

Wayne:

He wouldn’t.

Oriel smirked in victory, then turned back around. “Lily–huh? Where’d she go?”

Wayne said flatly. “You scared her off”

Onel muttered, “Am I that scary?”

While they were bickering. Becky had taken the opportunity to slip away.

The woman sat in the wheelchair, looking straight at her.

Becky knew instantly—this was her mother.

Julia was crying foo

Mother and daughter clung to each other, weeping silently for a long time.

Becky might not have been the original Lily, but she could feel Julia’s love as clearly as if she were

It made her instinctively accept this woman as her mother.

Julia cupped Becky’s face, eyes full of tender affection.

My Lily is finally home. I thought I’d never live to see you again.”

Becky gently took her wrist and checked her pulse.

Her mother really was quite sick–but it wasn’t beyond hope.

With Becky here, she wouldn’t let anything happen to her.

Julia said, “Lily, get up, don’t sit on the floor”

Yes, Mom.

Julia’s head snapped toward her.

“What did you just call me?”

“I called you Mom” Becky replied as she stood up,

Tears welled up in Julia’s eyes again. “I finally got to hear you call me that.”

Becky smiled.

Julia had probably suffered so much all these years.

Losing her daughter had been a pain she never recovered from

“Mom, let me push you over there. It’s drafty by the door.”

“Alright”

Julia wiped her tears and gave her a soft smile.

Julia looked at the tiny baby in her arms, her heart melting

What mattered to her was being with family. As long as everyone was happy together, that was enough.

Sull if they wanted to throw a banquet, she had no objections.

That night. Becky stayed at Janus and Julia’s villa.

Although her own place had been prepared, her parents insisted she stay with them.

Becky helped Julia back into her room. The sight of all the medical equipment inside made her chest tighten,

Her mother had suffered so much over the years.

Most of her illness was caused by emotional trauma. Over time, it wore her down, and her condition worsened.

She also had a weak heart that needed careful treatment.

And her rheumatoid arthritis made walking difficult.

As they chatted. Becky quietly took her pulse again, already planning to begin her treatment over the next few days.

Julia noticed her fingers resting on her wrist and smiled. “I heard you’re a doctor?”

Becky nodded. “I was taught by my grandmother–Jade. She was amazing

But since the woman was gone, there was nothing to be done.

Still, she was grateful that her daughter hadn’t fallen into the hands of traffickers.
