“Sara, what are you doing?” Lilian had just returned from work from the United Nations Bureau. She walked into Sara’s room with a wide smile stered on her face.


    Sara was sitting on the bed, knitting a sweater meticulously with a serious expression. She raised her head upon hearing Lilian’s voice.


    “I’m knitting a sweater for Jenna’s child. I haven’t had the chance to see my little grandchild yet. I want to go back to A City,” Sara answered, but she did not stop what she was doing. Her fingers were nimble as she worked furiously to finish knitting the sweater.


    “Sara, why must you knit the sweater yourself? You can easily buy a sweater anywhere.” Lilian felt that she was too hard on herself and did not want her to bother herself with some mere trifle. Upon saying that, she asked, “Did the instructor urge you toplete your training today?”


    Her tone was dead serious when she asked the question.


    Remaining immobilized in a wheelchair for a long time without sufficient exercise was detrimental to a person’s health. Hence, she attached a limb prosthesis to what was left of her limb and hired an instructor to curate an exercise routine for her condition.


    Not only that, but Lilian also invited some psychologists toe over and conduct psychotherapy to help her ovee her demons. Besides, she apanied her all the time and would talk to her about her life. She described the exasperation and the struggles that she had faced before in life. Every day, she would wriggle out of appointments with clients so that she can stay by her side as much as possible.


    Thanks to her efforts, Sara began to adopt a more positive outlook in life and became happier as time passed. She was near recovery but her longing and concern for Jenna would often make her feel agitated and withdrawn.


    Initially, this was what Lilian feared the most. However, now that they had news of Jenna, she could finally be at ease. Relief washed over her and a smile of pleasure never left her face.


    “Sara, don’t knit anymore. Come, let me bring you outside for a walk.” The nanny told Lilian that Sara insisted on knitting for hours every day and barely had time to do anything else. Her heart went out to her when she heard it.


    Sara knew that there was no room for objection. She could only put down the sweater in her hands and say, “I can walk there on my own. You don’t need to push the wheelchair.”


    If she disregarded her identity, Lilian was actually in her seventies. She had been helping to push her wheelchair for the past few days. To be honest, Sara felt sorry. Hence, now that her condition had improved, she insisted on walking by herself.


    “Okay, I will help you then.” Sara’s eagerness really cheered Lilian up. She recalled the times when she just moved over here. Sara seldom smiled and always wanted to return to A City. At first, she still spoke to her but once she knew of their rtionship, she assumed an air of indifference and paid no heed to her. She was cold and distant.


    Lilian knew that she could not force her to ept her. Hence, she took her time to prove her sincerity. Eventually, Sara had started to ept her presence. Although she still did not call her ‘Mom’, she had already epted her identity as her mother.


    The security was strict outside the vi. Lots of policemen dressed casually were in sight. The international agents stood upright as they guarded the premise, emitting a formidable aura.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    Lilian supported Sara carefully as she leaned against her walking cane. They were engulfed in the beauty of the sun which was setting over the horizon.The golden orange hue stretched far and wide. It was the color of fire hearths and tangerines.


    “Sara, Jenna will return to A City from Srirano next week. If you wish to go back, then I’ll apany you.” Lilian gazed at the sun setting over the horizon. Her voice was light and soft.


    As Sara got along with Lilian, she realized how precious her mother’s love for her was and started to cherish it. She appreciated their rtionship.


    In fact, she started to learn about her struggles after living with her for a year. When there was a lot to do, Lilian had to workte into the night despite already being in her seventies.


    “Madam Lilian, you are so busy. You can just send someone to apany me.” Sara thought for a while before she answered.


    “Sara, are you still refusing to live with me?” A wave of loneliness washed over Lilian when she heard Sara rejecting her offer. Looking pretty downcast, she asked in a soft voice.


    Both of them shared a kind of connection.


    Sara sensed how lonely Lilian was feeling right away. Lilian never put on airs when she was with her. Instead, she was always cautious with her words, afraid that she would hit a raw nerve.


    Sara came to a halt. Her mouth opened and closed, without making a sound. She was at a loss about how to respond.


    In reality, she felt a deep sense of loneliness as well and did not wish to leave Lilian.


    However, she grew up in A City and longed to see her daughter.


    “Madam Lilian, you can return to A City and live with us.” She dropped her head and spoke in a low voice.


    Lilian chuckled. “Silly child, how inconvenient it would be if you live on your own in A City. Jenna might be around but she has her own family to worry about. She can’t be there forever. I suggest you continue staying here. No matter what happens, I will take good care of you. Don’t deny my right to care for you as a mother.”


    Her love for her! The answer made her tremble with joy!


    Sara lowered her head as Lilian prattled on, trying to persuade her to stay in earnest. She was also a mother, which was why she wished to return to A City upon recovering to stay by Jenna’s side.


    However, she did not utter a word and staggered forward with the help of her walking cane.


    Lilian stared as she walked away. Sara’s back remained upright, as if she was protesting in silence. Knowing her stubbornness, Madam Lilian sighed. No matter what, she did owe her.


    If it weren’t for Vivian, she could not fathom how Sara would survive as a kid.


    Therefore, she was grateful to Vivian.


    Sara was struck by longing for A City for the past few days. After all, she had grown up in A City. Where she lived right then might be great but it was still a foreign country to her.


    She staggered forward with the help of her walking cane, lost in thought as she recalled the hardships that Lilian had faced over the years. Suddenly, she lost her bnce by ident and fell sideways.


    “Emily.” Lilian caught a glimpse of what had happened and eximed in dismay. She dashed over and caught her in the nick of time. However, her bnce was poor due to her advanced age. Although she had caught Sara, she lost her bnce and fell sideways. Within seconds, she hit the ground and Sara fell on top of her.


    An excruciating pain shot up Lilian’s leg and she grimaced in pain as her face grew pale.


    At the moment when they fell together, Sara knew instinctively that things would be bad. She was not injured at all but she fell on top of Lilian. Lilian was doing this for her sake.


    Sara trembled in fear. Panic-stricken, she eximed in a trembling voice, “Mom, are you alright?”


    She struggled to stand up while shouting, but it was a fruitless attempt. In the end, she had to ce both her hands on the ground and crawl to the side so that she was no longer on top of Lilian.


    Lilian sat on the ground, apparently in a daze. Shepletelyforgotabout the pain as tears of joy welled up in her eyes.


    “You finally called me ‘Mom’, did you?” A few seconds ago, Sara was so worried that she called her ‘Mom’ without even thinking about it. She said it so naturally as if she really regarded her as her mother. This made Lilian jubnt.


    The day she had been waiting for had finally arrived! It was not an easy process!


    She stared at Sara, too shocked for words as her eyes brimmed with tears.


    Sara was also stunned. She sat on the ground and stared at Lilian. She really didn’t expect that she would call her ‘Mom’ in a situation like this.


    For numerous times, she had thought about when she could finally call her ‘Mom”. Nevertheless, it never crossed her mind that she would say it so naturally in a scenario like this.


    She could not believe her ears.
