Chapter 727

Ever since Evelyn gave birth to Jean, she had never seen, nursed, nor allowed Jean to experience a single day of maternal love. Since learning that Jean was her long-lost daughter, she had tried to make up for the years she had been absent.

Evelyn felt indebted to Jean, wishing she could give her everything she had. Unfortunately, due to her status, she could never openly acknowledge Jean as her daughter. All she could do was compensate in other ways.
