Chapter 278
The next day, while they were on the way to the Taylor family’s house, the driver was driving in the front, while Kelly sat beside Olivia, keeping her head lowered as she looked at the documents in the document folder. “Olivia, are you going to tell Mrs. Taylor the truth?” she asked.
Olivia tilted her head and looked out of the window. Her gaze was indifferent, making it hard for anyone to discern her thoughts.
After a moment, she said, “It’s not necessarily a must to tell her.”
Olivia had already become disappointed in the Taylor family, and she no longer had any expectations, so it did not matter whether or not Amelia knew the truth.
However, it was also because of this that her patience with the Taylor family had diminished significantly. She really did not want to have any connection with them anymore.
This was because it was possible that Amelia engaged in continuous arguments with Olivia after she regained consciousness. In the past, Olivia was very patient and could endure it. endure it for even a minute now.
If Amelia started to argue, Olivia would immediately throw the folder at her.
However, she could not
This was just preparation. It did not necessarily mean that she would actually throw the folder at her.
Kelly understood. “I’ll hold it then,” she said.
Olivia nodded.
When they arrived at the Taylor family’s house, they found it surprisingly quiet. Amelia did not act crazily. She was very quiet, so much so that she did not seem like herself.
She sat steadily on the bed.
When Olivia performed the acupuncture therapy on her, she even thanked Olivia.
“Ms. Taylor, thank you,” Amelia said.”
Olivia’s hand that was holding a silver needle stopped moving. She said in a low voice, “You’re welcome.”
The silver needle had to stay on the head for a while. Amelia looked at William and said, “William, go out first. I have a few words to say to Ms. Taylor”
William was not at ease.
He was afraid that Amelia would do something that could not be easily controlled, just like what Ronald did previously.
However, Amelia was resolute in her attitude. She said, “William, you want to disobey me, huh?”
William exchanged a few glances with Amelia. In the end, he gave in. He could only nod helplessly and say, “I’ll wait outside, Mom. Please stay calm. Your health matters more than anything else.”
“Got it,” Amelia said.
After William left, Amelia glanced at Kelly, who was behind Olivia. Seeing that Kelly had no intention of leaving, Amelia chose not to bring it up.
“Ms. Taylor,” Amelia said. Her voice was very gentle. “Can I call you Olivia?”
Olivia had a thoughtful expression. Others could not discern what was in her mind. Upon hearing this, she nodded slightly and replied, “Feel free to do so.”
Amelia’s gaze was gentle and her expression was unprecedentedly calm.
She felt that she was very clear–headed now. She had never been so clear–headed in more than twenty
years.
“Olivia,” Amelia apologized, “I should apologize to you. Ever since you were found, both Samuel and Emma have done a lot of things to hurt you. I apologize to you on their behalf here.”
Olivia’s dark eyelashes trembled slightly. She did not say anything.
Amelia’s voice was gentle as she said, “You’re my child. When you were just born, you were a tiny and chubby bundle, not to mention incredibly adorable. You’re very obedient and smart. You learn everything quickly and can even remember things at a single glance. You’re really an exceptionally smart child. I’m very proud of you.
“But it’s a pity…” Amelia’s voice trailed off, and it was faintly choked. She continued, “It’s a pity that our mother–daughter bond was short–lived. Perhaps God only granted us a brief five–year connection. If we had forced it, there would have been hurt, just like with Samuel and Emma.”
Amelia found it a bit hard to continue, but she persevered, saying, “I really hope that we, as mother and daughter, can reunite, but there are too many conflicts between us. No matter what, we can’t go back to the past.”
At this point, Amelia’s voice carried a sense of apology. She continued, “I know Emma’s existence makes you uncomfortable and unhappy, but to me, she is also my daughter. Although she didn’t come out of my womb, she lives in my heart. I know she has done many wrong things and has many flaws, but she is still my daughter. My love for her will never change.
“I’m not asking you to forgive her or spare her. I just want to stay away from you so that I can accompany her wholeheartedly. In a few years, after she is released from prison, I’ll accompany her, comfort her, and help her to become less extreme in her views and behavior.
I’m no longer your mother, and you’re no longer my daughter. Let’s just treat each other as strangers.” Olivia raised her gaze. Her attractive eyes, which were similar to Amelia’s, were narrow and elongated, as if they were hiding a cold winter night.
Being mother and daughter was a fate bestowed by God. They were destined to have a short–lived connection, so there was no point in getting entangled in this relationship.
It was only then that she heard Olivia’s voice, which was soft and gentle, yet incredibly resolute. “As you wish,” Olivia said.
a medicine to calm your emotions. It’s harmless to the body. If you feel physically unwell or your emotions become too intense, you can take one.”
