Chapter 581 Cherish Her Well


    "Nice to meet you, Madam Lilian. At the sight of Madam Lilian, Hudson, Calvin, and Belle greeted her."


    Hudson was extremely ttered that Madam Lilian had dropped by to see Sophia.


    "Hello, all of you. Madam Lilian walked down steadily with Quina''s support. With a mild smile, she


    greeted them and raised her head to nce around. With a sigh, shemented, ""A walk down memory


    "As soon as Madam Lilian said this, not only Calvin and Belle felt strange, even Hudson felt a little odd.


    Hudson was the eldest son of the family, yet he didn''t know that Madam Lilian had once visited Harvey


    Manor. Maybe he had really seen Madam Lilian when he was at a tender age. Nheless, too many


    people had shown up at Harvey Manor. How could he remember them all? What was more, he had


    been sent abroad by Old Master Harvey when he was very young."


    "Madam, thank you very much foring to visit my old mother. This way, please. On Hudson''s face, a


    devout and enthusiastic smile was carved. He politely made a gesture to Madam Lilian."


    "Okay. Madam Lilian nodded and walked forward with Quina''s help. Hudson led the way, and Belle


    followed closely behind."


    The group traded words as they walked.


    "Madam Lilian observed every de of grass and tree in the Ink Garden. With a solemn expression,


    she asked, ""Mr. Harvey, how''s Old Madam''s condition now? Is there any need to send her overseas


    for treatment?"""


    "Hearing this, Hudson answered powerlessly."


    "Madam, my mother is already over 90 years old, and she is in poor health. The medicines she uses


    are also the finest medicines imported. s, at this age, it is likely useless to send her abroad.


    Besides, the olddy is not willing to go out for treatment, even at the local hospitals."


    "When Madam Lilian heard this, she sighed slightly."


    "As they talked, they entered Sophia''s bedroom."


    "At this time, the Ink Garden was quiet. Calvin and Belle had already screened out all unrted people.


    Only Ruth was guarding Sophia''s bedroom."


    "Madam Lilian walked into Sophia''s bedroom with a solemn expression. She looked up and saw that


    Sophia was lying on a bed. She looked so frail that she was only skin and bones. Sophia''s body was


    covered with an air-conditioning quilt, and her head of silver hair was neatlybed behind her. Her


    eyes were closed, and her hands rested in front of her chest. Her expression was serene. If not for the


    sound of her faint breathing, one would mistake that life had departed her body."


    "Mom, Mom. Hudson brought Madam Lilian closer, bent down, and whispered in her ear."


    "Sophia''s hearing ability had long since declined. After Hudson had called out to her for a long time,


    she finally heard him and opened her eyes with great effort."


    "Old Madam. Madam Lilian took a step forward, held her hand, and called out to her in a cordial


    manner."


    "Sophia''s hand was like a withered tree, etched with wrinkles, and it felt a little shaky when they held


    hands. The past was pushed to the forefront of her mind, and sadness was shown on her face."


    "Sophia, who had once been wise and capable, had already reached the end of her life. This was the


    "Grandmother, Madam Lilian hase to see you. Belle also bent down and notified her loudly."


    "Sophia''s face stiffened, and her eyes zed over. After a long time, she rolled her eyes absent-


    mindedly, yet she did not recognize Madam Lilian."


    "Old Madam, I''ve beente. I should''vee earlier. Madam Lilian''s heart ached when she saw this.


    She wiped away her tears and choked with sobs."


    "She held Sophia''s hand tightly and drew her head before her eyes. Then, she whispered in her ear,


    ""Old Madam, do you still remember me? I''m Lilian."""


    "Sophia stared at her motionlessly. After a long time, her eyes gleamed, as if she had recognized her.


    The muscles on her face twitched as if she was very excited."


    "Grandmother, Madam Lilian hase to visit you. Do you know her? Seeing that Sophia''s gaze


    seemed to reveal some reaction, Belle felt a sense of joy in her heart as she hurriedly called out in her


    ear."


    "After a while, Sophia asked in a trembling voice, ""Lili- Lili- Lilian?"""


    "As expected, Sophia had actually recognized her."


    "Everyone was pleasantly surprised. They all joined in. ""Old Madam, it''s Madam Lilian. She''s here to


    see you."""


    "Both Calvin and Hudson were shocked. Indeed, Sophia knew Lilian. It seemed that Madam Lilian


    really didn''te to see her for Belle''s sake."


    "Sophia looked straight at Lilian for a while. She suddenly became animated and struggled to raise her


    hand to point at Belle with her mouth open. Just as she wanted to say something, a violent cough hit


    her, and her face turned red. Then, she put down her hand powerlessly andy down on the bed,


    gasping for air."


    Everyone started to call out for her.


    Everyone was shouting anxiously.


    "Madam Lilian hurriedly patted Sophia''s chest to help ease her breathing. However, after Sophia


    coughed for a while, she started to break out in cold sweat. She only panted heavily and could not say


    anything else. When they called for her again, she had lost her senses. She could not even recognize


    the person beside her."


    "Helpless, Hudson had to ask Ruth to summon a doctor. Then, he came out with Madam Lilian and


    went to the reception room."


    "Madam Lilian''s emotions were in a mess, and she was also very sad."


    "If I had known this, then I should havee to visit Sophia thest time I came to A City. It''s a pity


    that the schedule was too tight, and I was in such a hurry. Madam Lilian informed them with regret and


    wiped her eyes with a tissue. Just now, Sophia seemed to have something to say to her. What could it


    be?"


    Calvin and Belle''s moods were also upset. They stood silently by the side.


    "At this time, Calvin was especially nervous about Belle. He was afraid that she was in a bad mood.


    So, he reached out to hold her hand and held it tightly in his palm."


    Belle looked up at him.


    "His clear and bright eyes were gentle and loving. He nodded at her, indicating for her not to be


    nervous."


    Belle understood what he was thinking and forced a smile.


    Madam Lilian only sat for a while before she got up.


    "Madam, why don''t we go to the hotel and sit down? I''ll treat you to some famous foods in A City, okay?


    Belle remembered thest time she''d treated Madam Lilian to a meal. On the same day itself, she also


    contacted the hotel and prepared everything."


    "Good girl, I''m getting old. How can I eat anything at night? Besides, I''ll leave A City Tristany tomorrow.


    My visit here is a secret. I''ve dyed my return for too long, and they''re urging me to go back. Madam


    Lilian smiled at Belle, stretched out her hand, and took her other hand. She looked up and down and


    saw that Calvin was still holding her other hand. Obviously, the two were in love with each other. A few


    days ago, she learnt from the news that there was a fuss about him marrying a second wife. Now, she


    felt relieved when she saw how in love they were. ""Belle, you look better this time. A woman must pay


    attention to her health. Otherwise, she will suffer when she''s old."""


    Madm Lilian reminded her in a sincere manner and patted her hand gently after that.


    "Belle smiled and nodded. ""Thank you, Grandma. I will be careful."""


    "Good. Madam Lilian smiled and nodded with relief. She then turned to Calvin, who was standing


    beside her, and warned seriously, ""Mr. Harvey, as a husband, you should take good care of your wife


    and don''t let her be wronged. Belle is a good girl. You must cherish her. You should know that it is rare


    to see a woman like Belle in such a society."""


    "After warning him, she continued seriously. ""Belle is my granddaughter now. If I know that you''ve


    mistreated her, then I won''t forgive you easily. I can''t allow my granddaughter to suffer the slightest


    grievance."""


    "One night, Belle had gone to the hotel anxiously to look for her and asked her to mobilize the army of


    Tamnd to subdue the terrorists. At that time, her face was full of anxiety for fear that Calvin had had


    an ident. It was apparent that she loved him so much. She was such a good girl, and Lilian did not


    want Calvin to mistreat Belle or betRhys her. So, she warned Calvin with such earnest words."


    Calvin was stunned for a moment before understanding Madam Lilian''s intentions.


    "Of course, he didn''t know that it was Belle who had gone to ask for Madam Lilian''s help that night, and


    mobilized the Tamnd military to help them out."


    "Madam, please rest assured. Belle''s life is even more important than mine. I would rather work harder


    than let her suffer a little grievance. As long as I am here, I will take care of her with all my heart and let


    her be happy. She is the woman I love the most in my life. Calvin smiled and replied to Madam Lilian


    firmly."


    "When Madam Lilian heard that he was emotional and loyal, she smiled and nodded, setting her mind


    at ease."


    She knew best how important a marriage was for a woman.


    "The greatest happiness in a woman''s life was none other than having a dedicated husband who loved


    her, adored her, and cared for her. Her marriage had been a failure, and she had experienced the pain


    and sadness deeply and would never be able to forget it in her life. As such, she did not wish for a


    simple and beautiful girl like Belle to suffer in her marriage. As such, Madam Lilian reminded the young


    man in front of her gravely, hoping that they would be happy."


    "After all, Madam Lilian also knew some of their past from the TV news."


    "That''s good. I am delighted to see how loving you both are. Madam Lilian smiled kindly. ""Well, it''s


    gettingte, and I have to go. I hope that you and Belle will be happy and live in harmony in the future


    and be loving till the end of time."""


    "As she spoke, it was gettingte. It was time to go back. Quina immediately came forward to support


    her."


    Belle took a step forward.


    "Madam Lilian wouldn''t go to the hotel for a meal, which was already within her expectations. She


    smiled and said affectionately, ""Grandma, I''ve prepared some special gifts from A City for you. Please


    wait for a moment."""

    "As she spoke, Belle instructed Larry to bring the stuff in."


    "When Madam Lilian heard this, she smiled and giggled. ""Belle, I know what you''re thinking. I really


    don''t need it. Quina has already prepared everything for me. There is only so much I can take."""


    "Nheless, Belle did not give up."


    "Grandma, I prepared these especially for you. If you don''t want them, then I''ll be very disappointed.


    Belle blinked her sparkling eyes."
