Chapter 366
Olivia stayed by Chloe’s side at the hospital. They were in a private ward with one bed.
It was getting late. Chloe noticed that Olivia was nodding off, so she asked her to get on the bed.
It was a bizarre feeling. Olivia had wanted to sleep in the same bed with her mother for so many years, but she never got the chance. She got what she wanted after they were revealed to be unrelated.
Chloe held Olivia’s hand and said gently, “Liv, I don’t care who my biological daughter is. I still owe you a lot. I’ve been thinking about the past a lot while I’m bedridden here.
“I was horrible to you and Jeff. This illness must be karma. I’m ready to die. I have no regrets in this life. Chris has shown me a lot of love.”
The light from the corridor shone on Chloe’s face. Olivia could see a happy smile on her face.
“Liv, I’ll treat you as my daughter even if you hate me and don’t see me as your mother. I wasn’t part of your life in the past. Even when you got divorced and were down in the dumps, I wasn’t there for you. I owe you too much.
“I have some money saved up in a fund. I already went through the procedures of getting it out when your father’s accident happened. I’ve taken the money out and asked Chris to deposit it in a card.”
Chloe took a card out from under her pillow and handed it to Olivia. “This is the money I’ve saved up for your wedding. It’s not much, but it’s a token of my affection.”
All the resentment Olivia harbored over the years vanished at that very moment.
“I have enough money. I’m just happy that you thought of me.’
“Take the money. At least I’ll feel better that way. Liv, can you do something for me?”
“What is it?”
With pursed lips, Chloe said slowly, “Can you call me ‘Mom’ one more time?”
Olivia paused for a moment, but she still said, “Mom.”
“Good… Good girl.”
Chloe turned to the side and hugged Olivia, who felt a little uneasy and didn’t move.
“I’m sorry I left you for so long. I love you.”
“That’s all I ever wanted,” Olivia said as she hugged Chloe back.
2/2
In Olivia’s dream that night, she was no longer enveloped in darkness. She was back in the alley where the other kids had pushed her into as a kid. They told her that she was a motherless bastard.
In the dream, she stood up with bruises all over and declared, “I have a mother! She loves me a lot!”
