chapter 1573


    Maurice said, "Hey, don’t cry. All these years, I didn''t look for you. I should''ve gotten you home sooner."


    "I don''t me you, don''t think of it that way. You calling me your mother is already enough for me.” The


    woman held his hand tightly and wiped off the tears on his face. "I''ll stop crying, too. Today is a happy


    asion. Are you hungry? I''ll cook for you. We have to celebrate."


    Maurice nodded, and he began to rpose himself.


    Sofia then wheeled the woman into the kitchen of the hospital to make dinner, leaving Charmine in the


    ward with Maurice.


    "Thank you so much, Gem," thanked Maurice as he looked at her. "How did you find my mother?"


    Charmine said, "I had my men to find out."


    When she heard his childhood storiesst night, she already felt that there were some


    misunderstandings. She did not believe any mother would be able to leave their child behind for so


    many years.


    In her quest to cure Maurice''s struggle with anorexia, she made an investigation.


    With that, she found out the misunderstanding.


    "I hope that you and Auntie will be happy, Mo," wished Charmine as she met Maurice’s gaze.


    Maurice''s mother’s words touched her soul. "She initially didn''t want toe with me when I first met


    her. She was kicked out of the ck coal mine a long time ago. Nobody was willing to keep her, so she


    sold some handcrafts. Since you''re a public figure, she dared not look for you. She did not want to taint


    your reputation."


    Maurice felt a stab in his heart.


    How foolish was he?


    Why had he never thought of the possibility of his mother leaving him out of her will?


    Maurice looked at Charmine and smiled weakly. "You''ve done me such a huge favor, Gem. How can I


    repay you?" "Mo, please don''t. You said I''m your family, so helping you to find your mother is just a


    small matter," insisted Charmine.


    Furthermore, Maurice had done way more for her.


    Maurice smiled, and a gentle and caring smile spread across his face.


    As much as he wanted Charmine to be happy, she also wished the same.


    Maurice did not insist.


    Charmine saw the genuine smile on his face, and it affected her.


    How could there be such a warm smile in the world?


    Maurice neverined and always seemed so grateful.


    She should also learn to let go of everything and cherish what she already had. She had to be true to


    herself.


    Sofia wheeled the woman back not long after. The woman had a big te of sweet and sour pork ribs


    in her hands.


    She handed it to Maurice. "This was your favorite when you were a child, Mo. Try and see if my


    cooking tastes the same."


    Maurice looked at the pork ribs and recalled how much he loved this dish back then. His taste buds


    red, and he instantly had an appetite.


    He took the dish and had a bite. "Much better than back then!" he chirped softly.


    With that said, he picked up the fork and looked at it like the most precious thing in the world. He


    carefully started eating again. 1


    The woman''s dull, aged face was brightened with a reassured, heartfelt smile.


    Sofia saw that Maurice no longer hated food, and she felt a sense of relief.


    Maurice’s struggle with anorexia was finally dissolving.


    Watching as Maurice and his mother rekindled their rtionship and him no longer steering away from


    food, Charmine had an unnoticeable smile on her lips.


    With that, she could go on to do the thing she wanted to do...Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
