"I will be very satisfied to just be his friend and take care of him. I’ve never thought of marrying him in this life at all. I won't defile him, much less fight your daughter, Yvonne, for a mother’s love. I won't do any of that. Don't worry. If you think that I'm ugly and you don't want to see me, I can also not appear in front of you. I can do that. It’s enough for me to confirm regularly that you're still doing well and you're healthy in all aspects. I...only have this little request."
She said that so very sincerely that tears were welling up in Vincent and Helena’s eyes.
"Helena..." Vincent choked a little.
Helena looked at Vincent. "Hmm?" "Do you believe in relationships by blood?" Vincent asked. Helena was speechless.
"I know that our daughter's whereabouts are still unknown today. If our daughter didn't appear, we can’t simply take another girl as her. However, why do I keep feeling that Mila is our daughter? Even if her DNA is unlike ours, why do I still feel that she's Yvonne?" said Vincent. He was already covered in tears while saying that.
Helena sobbed. "I...I also have this feeling that Mila is our daughter. Vincent, what should we do?"
Vincent cried while shaking his head. "But, this is too unfair to our daughter."
"Our daughter, our Yvonne, is too pitiful. If we were to acknowledge Mila as our daughter, that means our Yvonne would never ever have the chance to come home anymore in this life. That means even her parents have given up on her. We..." Helena cried with extreme sorrow.
Mila was moved beyond measure. "I know that, Mister and Missus Yates. I know. I understand the reason that you're not acknowledging me. I understand. I...I will never have you acknowledge me as your daughter in this life. I will never ever do that."
"But...” Helena looked at Mila. She truly felt sorry for this girl. Even if she tricked them. This girl indeed had tricked the couple of their feelings.
"What should we do?" Helena embraced Mila.
"Madam, don't cry. Don't cry. Hurry up and wipe your tears." The little girl lifted her chubby little hand and wiped Helena's tears for her.
