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.

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!”

She held a smile on her face until the following day. The nurses couldn't bring themselves to disturb them.

When Olivia woke up, she saw Chloe looking at her lovingly. Chloe brushed her fingers past Olivia's face and said, “My daughter is so beautiful.”

Olivia felt a little shy. “Mom, I'll definitely find your biological daughter.” “It doesn’t matter if you find her or not. You'll always be my daughter. I was stupid for neglecting you in the past. Now, I just want to make it up to you in the final days of my life.”

Chloe kissed Olivia on the head and said, “Liv, I hope you have a peaceful life.”

Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes. She didn't tell Chloe that she didn’t have long to live as well.

Although she had lived longer than the doctor's estimate, her life would be at risk as long as the tumor was still in her body. And when it got worse, she would be gone.

But she didn’t want Chloe to worry, so she said, “Okay.”

Olivia got off the bed and helped Chloe to the bathroom to wash up. Comforting Chloe, she told her that things would improve.

“Mom, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you. I'll cook some chicken soup for you tonight. You've never tasted my cooking before.” “It must be so delicious,” Chloe said with a glow in her eyes. “I want to eat matzo ball soup. I haven't had the chance to eat it for quite some time. I wonder if the shop's still there.”

“Of course, the shop is still there. It's been around for 20 years. Wait for me, Mom. I'll buy

some for you.”

Olivia said a few more words before leaving. An unexpected guest showed up right after Olivia

was gone.

The door opened. Chloe thought it would be Chris, but she saw Marina instead.
