Chapter 548
“Lyla, remember I say next, okay?”
Lyla nodded blankly.
She did not know what would happen, but she thought her mother was more serious than ever.
“Take your meals on time, don’t be picky with food, sleep and rise early, and rest well.
“If you have anything on your mind, tell your uncle. Don’t keep it to yourself, got it?”
Lyla nodded. “Got it.”
Olivia bit her lip. “Good girl. Study hard when you grow up so you can choose the life you like.”
With that said, she forced a smile. “Lyla, do whatever your uncle says. But speak up if he did something wrong.”
Lyla tilted her head, thinking what her mother said today was so deep that she understood with a hazy notion.
However, what was life?
Lyla pressed her lips together and gazed at her with her sparkling eyes.
“I know it’s too early to tell you this, but take my word for it, Lyla. You’ll get it when you do.”
Lyla nodded again. “I’ll keep that in mind, Mommy.”
With that said, her eyes reddened slightly. “But Mommy, are you not going to be around? Are you lying to me?”
Olivia bit her lip and fought back tears as she gently touched Lyla’s chubby face and continued saying without answering the question.
“Lyla, don’t cry in front of outsiders in the future. The more you cry, the more they will bully you. Be like a little leopard and the proudest princess. Don’t bow to anyone, and don’t pity others. Don’t pick anyone up from the roadside…”
Lyla got increasingly confused, but she tried to remember everything her mother said.
She even held back her tears.
“Lyla.” Olivia let out a long sigh and said, “You must remember the last thing too.”
“Mommy…”
“Don’t like a person because of gratitude or their appearance. Don’t believe whatever you see. You should be able to accept and let go of feelings. Be a playgirl instead of someone with hopeless infatuation.”
