Gloria was stunned when she saw Jane. Immediately after that, she came up to Jane and held her hands. " Look at how fated we are. I never expected that you, m y benefactor, would be friends with my daughter.”
Jane's tears kept streaming down her face. "Ma'am, so you're actually Sabrina's mother? Why didn’t you tell m e earlier?"
Gloria laughed. "Silly child, I didn't know you were good friends with Sabrina back then, right? Maybe you didn't know Sabrina too then."
"Mom, you and Jane...what's going on?" Sabrina was stunned. 1
Gloria smiled. "When I had just escaped from Lincoln’s, I fled to the foot of a mountain and fainted from starvation. It was Jane who saved me.”
Sabrina instantly became excited. "Thank you, Jane."
Jane said apologetically, "I had originally wanted to keep your mom to be a maid. I had asked her for a long time where her home was and did she have any family left in her hometown. I wanted to take her to get a personal health certificate. In the end, your mom left by herself when I wasn’t paying attention. Ma'am, I have searched for you for many days."
Gloria smiled apologetically. "I didn't know if my daughter was alive or not back then, and I had just
escaped from the Lynn family. I often heard that the maid of the Lynn family said that their daughter, Selene, was going to marry the richest and most powerful man in South City. I was afraid that the Lynn family would rely on the man's powers and play tricks, so I did not dare to show myself. I could only hide everywhere and hope that I can see my daughter's return one day."
"Mom..." Sabrina was all choked up that she could not speak.
Gloria smiled gently. "It’s all water under the bridge now. Isn’t everything great, now? I'm very happy. Also, I have your whole lot of friends coming over to accompany me. I'm already very contented. Quickly come in. Both of you are pregnant. Come in and rest."
The other people in the house had arrived earlier than Sabrina, Jane, and their partners, and they were all people that Jane had known. However, there was still an unfamiliar face. The man had a gentle and humble smile, and he was rather familiar with Jane. "Jane, you’re finally back."
Jane looked at hime. "You are..?"
Before the man could answered, Aino ran into the man's arms and introduced him to Jane proudly." Aunt Jane, this is my uncle."
Jane instantly understood that the man in front of her was named Zayn Smith. The man and Sabrina were not biological siblings, but they were even closer than that. This was particularly so here at Gloria's. Zayn was even more like the master of the house. Although he addressed Gloria as ma'am, the things that he did was as if he was Gloria's son. 1
Seeing that Zayn was busy serving the guests, Gloria has much less work to do. She pulled Jane to sit in front of her and said gently, "My child, you’ve been through a lot."
Jane shook her head. "Ma'am, compared to you, what I've been through is nothing. I have heard some of your experiences from Sabrina."
Gloria sighed. "Majority of the people in this world are yearning for something but just could not get it. When I was little, I had always wanted a father’s love, but my father would rather give his love to a person who had no blood relations to him. This was because he felt that I was his humiliation. Later on, I had already gone through a few decades of hardships, and no longer needed the protection of a father’s love anymore, but h e wanted us to acknowledge each other instead. As he is already old, and he needed the joy of having his family around him, I relented. You see, he also had something he yearned for. There's also Sabrina. She grew up wanting new clothes but had never gotten them. She had been bullied and beaten up since young. When she had grown up, she had been abused by her biological father. Also, Zayn was clearly a young gentleman of an eminent family and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. However, he suffered together with Sabrina and was not able to stand for six years.”
