Sylvia immediately raised her hand to pat him on the back, "Don't get too worked up, old Mr. Bennett. You shall not get too worked up. There was nothing we could do to prevent my mother's tragic fate."
"I don't believe it! I refuse to believe it! She should have had a more brilliant life, she should have shone brightly and won all the awards both at home and abroad – that's the kind of life she deserved!"
"How could she have passed away like this...?"
The old Mr. Bennett's eyes welled up with tears.
A single tear rolled down his cheek.
He slowly closed his eyes, "Monica was truly exceptional, a genius in every sense of the word. Anything that came her way was simple and easy for her to handle – no one could ever compare to her... Monica..."
He was genuinely heartbroken; anyone could see how much he was hurting.
Tiana couldn't hold back any longer as tears streamed down her face; she walked over to the hospital bed where her father-in-law lay weakly. "Dad, it was Monica's daughter who saved you – maybe Monica is watching over you from heaven right now! That's why she sent her daughter here."
As she spoke, Tiana broke into sobs.
She finally understood why she felt Sylvia very familiar to her.
She took her hands in Sylvia's, "Back in the old days when I was in high school at Larro, Yasmin and I are your mother's best friends. Then we all went our separate ways and had less contact. Especially since your mother was suddenly rumored to have been kicked out of the Evans family, we've never seen her again."
Her heart ached at the thought that her best friend from her youth had died, "Yasmin was always at Larro, did she know about your mother?"
"Yasmin... you mean Cody's wife?"
Sylvia was stunned, she didn't expect Mrs. Wright and her mother to be good friends too.
"Yes." Tiana nodded.
"I don't think she knows." Sylvia's heart tightened for a moment; she hadn't expected Yasmin to be a good friend of her mother's as well.
She suddenly thought of the soup Yasmin always made, which she always felt smelled like the soup cooked by her mother.
Yasmin once said that she learned how to make the soup from an old friend.
So that was it! The old friend Yasmin mentioned must be Monica.
Since Yasmin knew about Monica, why hadn't Yasmin told her about she and Monica being good friends?
