Chapter 705 Once You Recover

“You got into a car accident? Was it bad? Were there any aftereffects? How did it happen? Let me take a look at you. Gosh, this is so worrying,” she nagged. “Why didn’t you ever tell me about this? My poor child, why do these terrible things always happen to you?”

 
 
 
 
 
 

As she was overwhelmed with emotions, her head started to hurt. Pain and discomfort came crashing like waves, forcing her to clutch her head and slump against the bed.

“Oscar, call the doctor!” exclaimed Amelia in panic.

Oscar was just about to leave the ward when Eleanor spoke up while breathing heavily. “Oscar, there’s no need for that. I’m fine.”

 

Without a word, Oscar returned obediently.

After the pain subsided, Eleanor smiled at Amelia weakly. “Lia, don’t worry. I’m fine. In fact, I’m going to live a long life and take care of your children so you can pursue whatever you want. It took me so long to finally find you. How could I bear to leave you so soon?”

Amelia couldn’t understand how motherly love was powerful enough to make an elderly woman put her daughter first despite being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

However, she was moved. Among the many elders she knew, Eleanor was possibly the only one who loved her and cared for her purely and wholeheartedly.

If I were the one separated from my daughter for more than twenty years, I’m not sure if I could treat her the same way I treat my children who grew up with me.

Yet, it was clear that Eleanor favored her more. Perhaps, it was out of guilt for not being able to be by her side all these years.

In truth, Amelia didn’t think it was necessary for Eleanor to do that.

She coaxed, “Mom, if you want to take care of my child, you should get well soon. If I give birth to the baby before then, I won’t be able to handle so many things at once. You don’t want me to suffer, do you? I have just reunited with my mother, who truly loves me. Are you going to let me lose you again? I’m going to hate you if you do.”

“Okay, okay. I will cooperate with the treatment and get better as soon as possible so I can look after your child,” Eleanor agreed. Her eyes were full of gentle adoration as she looked at Amelia.

When Amelia Hutton and Sean came in, they were met with the sight of Eleanor watching Amelia Winters with a smile.

Immediately, a complex look fleeted across Amelia Hutton’s eyes.

 

She did not expect her mother to look for Amelia Winters in the end.

Mixed emotions filled her heart—it was a feeling one could only understand after experiencing these things personally. The Huttons were the ones who stayed with Eleanor while she went through her treatment, yet the one who could make her smile was her eldest daughter, who went missing for more than two decades.

Amelia Hutton believed she was not inferior to Amelia Winters, yet she was overshadowed by the latter.
