Vireo looked at his mother with his face covered in tears. "That's right, Mom. You have a backer now. From now on, I'll be your backer.
"Even if I had never raised you for a day?" Elsa said again.
"As long as you've given birth to me, you're my mother."
"My good child." Elsa was covered in tears while looking at her son. "Even if I were to die, my whole life would already be worth it. I have wronged you. I will leave the convent. I don't need to take care of you. I want to take care of you and help you take care of your children. I will leave the convent now."
The reason she had given up the worldly desires and become a nun was that she had not much hope in life anymore. However, things were different at that moment. When Elsa saw her son, hope had been rekindled for her. Therefore, on the day her son came to her, she left the convent. The old lady had never married and had lived alone her whole life. In her sunset years, she finally found her biological son and someone to lean on.
When she came out of the convent, her son kept hugging her, his mother. Her son was not a rich man, but he still donated fifty thousand dollars to the convent. He even promised the convent that he would be sending fifty thousand dollars to them every year from then on. It was not much, but it was enough for the other two nuns in the convent to live. If they were willing, he could even send them to a retirement home. The other two elderly ladies were very grateful to Vireo. That was a happy ending.
When Vireo came out of the convent with an arm wrapped around his frail mother, the first person both of them saw was Isadora.
"Madam Elsa," Isadora called out. There was not even a single trace of unfamiliarity in her tone.
"Oh, my child..." Elsa looked at Isadora with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
"Madam Elsa, you're really young. My mother i s older than you, but she died a long time ago. She passed away more than twenty years ago. I didn’t have a father growing up, and my mom also died a long time ago. Later on, my brother also passed away. From now on, you'll be just like my own mother, Madam Elsa. "
