Elena looked at the woman beside her, holding her hand a bit tighter. She used to think Lydia was cold and unfeeling, never showing concern for her. But today, her heart felt warm.

No matter what reasons there were before, she only trusted what she felt at this moment–that her mother, Lydia, also deeply loved her.

Suddenly, Lydia started coughing violently. Elena quickly patted her back, watching her face turn paler, feeling worried. “Mom, are you okay?”

Lydia couldn’t speak, but to not make Elena worry, she raised her hand to show she was fine.

Olliver didn’t finish his sentence as Lydia spoke, “Elena, I heard you were coming home and got excited. I rushed over here. Do I look a mess now?”

Elena shook her head, fixing the stray hairs on both sides. “Not at all, Mom. You look beautiful.”

Elysia watched the heartwarming moment between the three of them. In her heart, she felt happy for Elena. Sometimes, she thought she and Elena were very much alike, but at other times, they seemed so different.

Elena noticed her action and was watching her closely. When Elysia nodded, Elena’s previously anxious heart felt mostly relieved, although she still remained a bit worried.

Olliver and Lydia didn’t notice Elysia’s action at all; all their attention was on Elena. Their gaze was softer than ever as if they were looking at a rare treasure. Perhaps it was because of a past loss that they became so cautious now.
