Chapter 1573
Maurice said, "Hey, don’t cry. All these years, I didn't look for you. I should've gotten you home sooner." "I don't blame you, don't think of it that way. You calling me your mother is already enough for me.” The woman held his hand tightly and wiped off the tears on his face. "I'll stop crying, too. Today is a happy occasion. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you. We have to celebrate."
Maurice nodded, and he began to recompose himself.
Sofia then wheeled the woman into the kitchen of the hospital to make dinner, leaving Charmine in the ward with Maurice.
"Thank you so much, Gem," thanked Maurice as he looked at her. "How did you find my mother?"
Charmine said, "I had my men to find out."
When she heard his childhood stories last night, she already felt that there were some misunderstandings. She did not believe any mother would be able to leave their child behind for so many years.
In her quest to cure Maurice's struggle with anorexia, she made an investigation.
With that, she found out the misunderstanding.
"I hope that you and Auntie will be happy, Mo," wished Charmine as she met Maurice’s gaze.
Maurice's mother’s words touched her soul. "She initially didn't want to come with me when I first met her. She was kicked out of the black coal mine a long time ago. Nobody was willing to keep her, so she sold some handcrafts. Since you're a public figure, she dared not look for you. She did not want to taint your reputation."
Maurice felt a stab in his heart.
How foolish was he?
Why had he never thought of the possibility of his mother leaving him out of her will?
Maurice looked at Charmine and smiled weakly. "You've done me such a huge favor, Gem. How can I repay you?" "Mo, please don't. You said I'm your family, so helping you to find your mother is just a small matter," insisted Charmine.
Furthermore, Maurice had done way more for her.
