Mila smiled when she saw Sabrina's expression. "Sabrina, you have the most ideas, so you certainly have a way to deal with them, right?”
Sabrina looked at Mila seriously, "Yvonne, we still have trouble you to endure it for a while. We...I mean all of us can't acknowledge your identity for the time being. On the surface, we might still have to
"I know. I understand! I know, Sabrina. I will cooperate with you." Without waiting for Sabrina to finish her words, Mila nodded her head with all her might.
Sabrina hugged Mila immediately. "Good girl! Hold on a little longer. We certainly will catch that bunch of people in one go!" "I will certainly hold on! I will persist no matter how long it takes! Whether it's one year or ten years, I will hold on. Even if I had to hold on for a lifetime, it's fine as well. As long as you guys acknowledge me in your hearts, I'm already very contented.” Mila wore a smile on her face.
Sabrina felt sorry while looking at Mila. ’’ Marcus...won't come and visit you during this period of time. Also, your parents...”
"I know. Don't let them come. I can endure it. Otherwise, the show we put on won't seem realistic anymore," Mila said firmly.
"Alright. It's a deal then. The doctors and nurses here will take care of you during this time. If you need anything, just give Aino a call. Remember to only call her after seven in the morning, after eleven in the morning and before one in the afternoon, and also after half past four in the afternoon. In other words, you can call Aino as long as she is not in class. Aino is a student after all. She is in school, so no one would pay attention to her. Do you understand?" Sabrina explained to Mila carefully.
Mila smiled in relief. "I’ve never expected that after not seeing Aino for just a few years, she has already become such a reliable person. How great."
"We're leaving now. You have to take care of yourself," Sabrina said while feeling reluctant to part with her.
"Mm-hmm. I will take good care of myself," Mila said firmly.
Both Sabrina and Minerva did not stay too long at the hospital and they left quietly. Sabrina had already walked out of the entrance of the hospital, but she was still in tears.
Minerva looked at her and smiled. "Aunt Sabrina, I've never seen you cry. You're a woman who doesn't cry even when you are going through fire and water. You're the iron lady in my heart. How come you're crying?"
Sabrina looked at her niece with annoyance. "You silly child. You don't know this but everyone in the world has very active tear glands. It's just that many people are in circumstances that allow them to cry. However, some people are just not in the position to cry. When I was going through fire and water back then, I basically didn't cry, but what was the reason for that? Because it's useless to cry. Because there's no time to cry. If I had taken even a little bit of time to cry, I might have died while going through fire and water, but my life is good now. My life is good now, but Yvonne..."
Once she thought of Yvonne, Sabrina’s tears gushed down her face as if the dam had broken.
She choked up for a while before she said to Minerva again, "Minerva, do you knowhow lonely and helpless I felt when I was brought back to South City by your uncle back then? What I had been thinking about every day wasn’t how to stay alive, but how to die instead. I was waiting to die every day. However, during such a time, God let me meet Yvonne. She was so sunny and happy just like a little sun. She wasn't afraid of people in power, and she didn't conspire with other people. She was simply a clean stream. When you saw Yvonne, you just knew how beautiful this world actually is. Yvonne was simply my happy pill. In comparison to her, Ruth was not. Ruth bullied me back then. Everyone in the company bullied me, but Yvonne
was the only one who resolutely stood in my corner."
