Christine stood by the French window for a while, and upon hearing some faint sounds outside, she turned around, drank the milk from the bedside in one go, and then went out with the empty cup in hand.

Hearing the noise, Yasmin glanced up and, thinking about what Joanne had just told her, felt a pang of sympathy. She didn't understand how this girl had grown up, how much hardship she had endured. Even after returning for over a year, she still didn't genuinely bond with her biological mother.

The girl was very guarded. Ultimately, it was her own fault for being so neglectful back then.

Seeing Christine, Yasmin first feigned ignorance and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Nothing" Suddenly, Yasmin reached out and hugged her, rubbing her head. "Sweetie, it doesn't matter what you call me, it's just a title. We have plenty of time to get used to it. We'll take it slow." The unexpected embrace made Christine freeze. Normally, Yasmin did like these affectionate gestures, but they were usually when Christine was pretending to be obedient, so she was never surprised. But at that moment...

Christine had expected questions or accusations, like "Why did you call me by my name?" or "Ungrateful daughter."

But there was none of that, no reproach at all.

This was unfamiliar to Christine, even shocking.

Having grown up in an orphanage, her experiences were such that making mistakes often meant being punished. No one had ever embraced her or spoken softly when she was in trouble.
