At this time, Hospital No. 1 was under martial law.
Because the current head of the Byrne, and also Lydia’s mother, Aurora went in.
Beside Aurora, the demoness Elena, who is feared by everyone in the whole S City, is as quiet as a small cat.
Lift door opened.
Lydia was still sitting outside on the promenade at this time, waiting for Leo to return.
After seeing Lydia once again, Aurora’s body trembled and her eyes, surprisingly, carried a slight dodge.
She then turned back to Elena, “Go wait for me outside.”
Elena was reluctant at first, but thinking of the current situation and the need to leave the mother and daughter alone for a while, she sighed softly and left the place.
Aurora stood at the corridor, quietly watching Lydia.
As if sensing the sight, Lydia lifted her cold eyes, and the mother and daughter looked at each other, as if time had frozen for a moment.
There was a moment of surprise in her eyes, but Lydia returned to calm, not at all surprised by Aurora’s bringing, and continued to look elsewhere.
Aurora came to her side and gently inquired, “Can I sit here?”
Lydia said without looking back, “This is a hospital, not my home.”
Aurora’s smile became even purer as she carefully sat beside Lydia and said, “You should understand that the birth of this child means a lot to both families.”
It was spoken as if off the cuff, but also as an explanation of why I was here.
Lydia glanced over her head and asked, “And then what?”
“…”
Aurora seemed to be a bit dumbfounded by her daughter’s cold question, and after a long silence, her expression became frank all of a sudden and she looked at Lydia and said, “I know that I am not a competent mother, I have not raised you, but you are still my child.”
These words caused Lydia’s face to change slightly, but her eyes were even colder.
She didn’t say anything, waiting for Aurora to continue.
“I don’t ask for this child’s surname to be Byrne, I just hope that you will bring the child back to see me more often, so that he will know that such a grandmother exists, it will be good.”
Aurora’s expression was indescribably complex: “In the past, I had always defied old age, but it was only after I knew that your second child was moving that I realised that it was time for me to retire.”
“It’s time for the old times to retire, and for the new times to take up the torch of legacy.”
“…”
Hearing Aurora’s words, Lydia fell silent for a moment.
She nodded, “Okay, I will go back to the Byrne’s.”
After receiving Lydia’s promise, Aurora nodded, the smile on her face growing.
“Take care of yourself.”
Aurora admonished, then got up with the intention of leaving.
“Wait a minute.”
“Mom …”
Lydia shouted from behind.
The body of Aurora, who had just taken a step, trembled, and a hint of intense shock surfaced on her ageless face.
Stiffly turning around, she looked at Lydia and asked incredulously, “What did you just call me?”
“Mom.”
In contrast, Lydia looked very calm as she uttered the word.
Aurora turned around completely, the expression on her face was complicated, but nothing could be expressed.
Her mouth opened slightly, but nothing could come out.
Almost thirty years!
Lydia was finally willing to acknowledge her as her mother!
“Don’t get me wrong, I just think that the grudges of one generation should not be passed on to the next. What I came across when I was young, I don’t want my children to come across again.”
Lydia quickly returned to her usual icy coldness and said indifferently.
“Good, Lydia, if you have any difficulties in S City in the future, let me know.”
Aurora was so excited that she was incoherent, “Although I have left S City for twenty years, I still has this influence.”
Lydia didn’t doubt for a moment that Aurora’s words, just the fact that she had reigned in S City twenty years ago was enough to make her a legend.
As long as Lydia is willing, with the help of Aurora, her L Group can easily become a giant company in the business world.
And the Henderson family did not dare to speak to Lydia with such an attitude.
However, Lydia smiled lightly, her expression calm, “I don’t need your help, I can get by on my own.”
“I just want to know the truth about your divorce at that time, were you really unable to have children?”
Lydia said, her eyes became sharp, staring into Aurora’s eyes.
“…”
Aurora seemed to be somewhat unresponsive for half a moment, staring at Lydia in a daze.
Aurora used to be the number one beauty, why did she divorce Karl?
This marriage contract was even proposed by Karl.
The world could not understand it, not even Lydia could understand it.
It was a permanent thorn in her side, but she never mentioned it.
Now that it was just her and Aurora, she would like this long-buried secret to come out.
After a long time, Aurora reacted and the corners of her mouth rose, floating a faint smile.
“Does it matter?”
“Then I’ll change the question.”
Lydia said, “Why, after you divorced him, did you choose to leave S City and then become a monk? Was it this place that made you have some unbreakable love affair? Or maybe it was —-?”
“…”
So Aurora’s face became rigid, the smile still there, but it had become stunned.
Although Lydia was not born to her, that keen insight and wisdom was inherited from her.
“Normally when people get divorced, they don’t go out of their way to become monks, do they?”
Lydia narrowed her eyes, wisdom permeating her eyes, “I want to know what you’ve been studying the Buddha for twenty years.”
Aurora was full of consternation, but looking at Lydia’s face, her expression gradually became serious.
After a long silence, Aurora’s face struggled for a while, finally becoming frank and said, “In this marriage, I am most guilty of you, after these twenty years, I can’t forgive myself. so I can only come back to you.”
“Why?”
Lydia’s brow knitted tightly.
“Because, when your father and I got married, it was just a sham marriage.”
Aurora looked sad and said with complicated eyes, “Your father approached me in order to get back at me, and it was just that I didn’t realise at first that it was a scam, and by the time I got to know it, it was already too late.”
“A scam?”
Lydia could not understand.
Aurora nodded and continued, “His family died because of my mother, so he cheated me, but I don’t hate him.”
“Because from the day we got married, it was destined to be a toss-up.”
