Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 437

Chapter 437 Helena Has Died


Elspeth and Gilbert went together to the sanatorium in Damoria. It was in Damoria's suburbs, not far from the city center, but it was pretty remote, with few people around. On the other hand, she never would have thought her mother would be there. She expected Helena to be in a hospital due to her terminal illness, but she never imagined that her mother would choose a sanatorium, where typically only the terminally ill are admitted. Then, when she found out that her mother was so set on passing away, she felt an intense pain in her chest.

When she arrived, she tried to rush in to see her mom as soon as possible, but the guard at the door stopped her.

"Who are you? What's your name? Please show your ID."

Hearing that, her voice was somewhat agitated, but she remained calm. "My mom is inside. Please let me in, okay?"

"What's your mother's name?"

Elspeth bit her lip, unsure if Helena had changed her name when she admitted.

"Helena Joneson."

The receptionist at the door flipped through the book in his hand, and her face suddenly became serious.

"Helena Joneson... It seems like this person passed away yesterday."

Passed away? Her heart stopped beating for a moment.

"You better take another look. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? How could she have passed away?"

Nonetheless, the receptionist replied nonchalantly, "I know you might not believe it now. There is a person named Helena Joneson at our sanatorium, and I wouldn't make a mistake."

Meanwhile, Gilbert stood beside her and was incredulous when he heard that. "I was here the day before yesterday, and I saw Miss Joneson. How could she have passed away today?"

After hearing that, the receptionist frowned. "Young man, a person's lifespan is determined by fate, and no one can predict when they will leave this world. Your tone suggests that our sanatorium is up to no good."

Gilbert realized that his tone was a bit too aggressive and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, I was a bit impulsive with my words."

After listening to that, the pain in Elspeth's heart quickly expanded.

"Where is her body? Where is the room she used to live in? Can I go see it?"

The receptionist hesitated for a moment. "Miss, we still haven't confirmed your identity yet, so it may not be appropriate to let you in so easily. Anyway, it's not completely impossible. We can let you in if you can produce an item that belongs to your mother."

Trembling, she took out a necklace from her pocket. It was in the shape of a heart and the same necklace she carried when she went to look for her mother.

"Ah, yes, this is it. It's this necklace."

The person nodded, and a different emotion appeared in her eyes. "Follow me. I'll take you to her room first."

Elspeth nodded, and together with Gilbert, they were led to the room.

After pushing the door open, there was no one in the room. The receptionist led them in and then left. Although there was no one living in the room anymore, it was still spotless. With one glance, she knew that the room had been her mother's. Then, she strolled forward and saw a diary that was not locked on the table, so she picked it up and opened it.

Her mother's handwriting was exquisite, and Elspeth carefully read through the diary, which mostly recorded her mother's struggle against her illness. Soon, Elspeth noticed her mother's handwriting became increasingly weak and unsteady as she continued to read. It appeared that Helena's physical discomfort had affected her handwriting. Yet, at the end of nearly every entry, she would write about how much she missed her daughter.

My daughter Elspeth is always in my thoughts and heart.

Elspeth touched the writing, and tears slowly rolled down her face.
