When Sebastian had a confrontation with Eldon back then, he told Sebastian that he had been taking care of Yvonne very well and he was able to let Yvonne return. In the end, when he went to pick Yvonne up, she was missing.
Both Sabrina and Sebastian felt that Eldon was acting sly back then. However, when Sabrina thought about it again, she truly had wrongly blamed Eldon.
"What's the matter, Sabrina?" asked Mila.
Sabrina shook her head. "No...It’s nothing. I just felt that fate is playing tricks on us and everything is just out of expectations!"
How was she supposed to tell Yvonne that she was once just one step away from finding her, but she missed it? Just because of that one step, Yvonne had suffered for so many years.
There was a pause before she asked Mila," After you ran away, you were abroad at that time, so how did you get by alone abroad while being pregnant?"
Hearing that, Mila's smile became even more miserable. "At that time, I..."
She cleared her throat as she was choking back her tears, then tears gushed down her face. "Just like you said, fate was truly playing tricks on us. I was a person who had never suffered at all since childhood, so I truly had no idea that life could be so miserable. I only heard it from you when you mentioned your life during your childhood was very tough. I have also seen how your mother wandered out there for so many years and suffered for so many years. However, I had never expected that it would one day be my turn to live this kind of life. However, once life got as miserable as that extent and after I've tasted so many miseries, I didn't feel it anymore. At that time, I was pregnant, but I was very light on my feet during those days. I was able to fight for food with any other children. I always got more than them every time. I was even able to accurately distinguish what was good and what was inedible in the trash can. Your mother had once mentioned this to me in the past, so I had the experience."
Speaking of that, Mila actually smiled very happily. However, Sabrina was already covered in tears when she was listening to her. All of them have suffered. Sabrina, her mother, and Ruth, even Aino included, had been through the toughest five years of Sabrina's life with her.
However, Yvonne...
How could Yvonne live such a life? What kind of person was Yvonne? She was a person who had been doted on by her parents. After she married Marcus, he doted on her. Also, when she was out shopping with Ruth, it was always Ruth who helped her carry her bag. When she was purchasing clothes with Sabrina, Sabrina was always the one who paid for her. Even when Yvonne was hanging out with Aino and Minerva, who were considered children still, it was Aino and Minerva who would stand in line for Yvonne to get beverages for her. Yvonne would also often fight with them for food. She was so happy and so sweet. God had never been willing to treat such a kind, adorable, and carefree girl harshly as well.
All the people around Yvonne, Aino included, who was just a little child, had never been willing to criticize Yvonne harshly. Everybody had been protecting Yvonne. However, she actually had to go through trash for food? If Aino had heard that, she certainly would feel so sorry that she would burst out crying.
Sabrina also felt so sorry that she immediately embraced Yvonne. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Yvonne. I'm sorry. I've failed you. I was the one who didn't protect you well. If I could move a little faster back then when I was searching for you, you never would have suffered so much. I'm sorry to have failed you, Yvonne."
Mila, however, shook her head and smiled." You didn’t, Sabrina, you actually didn't. I didn't understand at first why God wanted to let me suffer so much, but I understood it later. God was helping me. He was saving my life."
Sabrina did not understand. "Huh? What are you...talking about?"
Mila suddenly smiled very sweetly." Because...because I had a very strange kind of blood disorder."
