It had been more than a year. After Lily left halfway through the wedding ceremony, she had not contacted Samantha since then.
For the past year, Samantha had tried all sorts of ways to inquire about Lily’s whereabouts, but to no avail.
At the same time, she had to bear with the various rumors.
Some people said that Lily had died a long time ago.
Some also said that Lily had followed Justin Quinn to the New World; their whereabouts still unknown.
No matter which rumor, it was a stab in Samantha’s heart.
‘My daughter, where are you? Can you hear me calling you?’
Samantha touched the photos lightly as tears formed in her eyes.
Knock! Knock!
Right at that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Samantha kept the photo album away and headed to answer it. ’Who is it?”
She jumped back in surprise the moment she opened the door.
A petite figure covered in dirt stood there. When Samantha saw the person’s face, she frowned.
‘How can there be such an ugly girl?’ It was true; Lily stood right in front of her.
When Cece released her, she went through many hardships to return to the World Universe. At least she was safely back in Donghai City, and back to her own house.
Finally, Samantha came to her senses, and said, ‘You—’
When she saw her mother in front of her, Lily could not hold back her tears. She yelled, “Mom, it’s me, Lily! It’s me!”
Samantha trembled. She almost lost her balance, but she held onto the door frame with her hand. Then, she looked at Lily.
“Lily… You’re Lily…” Samantha was elated and heartbroken at the same time. She hugged Lily and said, ‘My daughter, what happened to your face?”
When she said that, Samantha’s hand trembled. She touched Lily’s face lightly; her heart was in pieces.
Her daughter used to have the most beautiful face; how did she become like that?
Lily did not answer her. The mother and daughter duo hugged each other as they continued to cry.
