Ch. 2781..2790
Chapter 2781 "However, there was a period when the filming studio did not film many period dramas anymore. Many of the extras were starving so I didn't have anything to eat anymore either. It's fine for me to go a little hungry. However, my two children can't go hungry. They cried at the top of their lungs because they were hungry. At that moment, the boss of Marshpoly Agency, Bonnie Murphy, saw that I was carrying two children, so she took the initiative to give me some food, she even asked if I'm willing to be an extra for a period drama that their company had taken on."
"And you agreed?" Minerva asked.
Mila smiled miserably. "Before I had the accident, I had already made up my mind to be an actress. I've even had everything ironed out with the director, Mister Cameron. However, I didn't manage to become an actress after what happened to me. when Bonnie came to be at that time, I agreed without missing a beat at all. I then went to her agency, she gave me food to eat. she bought some formula for my children to drink I was especially grateful for her at that time."
Minerva could almost think of something, so she asked, "Just because you're grateful that she saved you, fed you, and bought some formula for your children, you wouldn't have acted in her films without any pay, right?"
Mila shook her head. "I was truly too silly. In the past, I had always been with my parents, Marcus loved me very much, and Sabrina and Ruth would protect me. I never knew people in this world could be that evil. I felt that Bonnie was so nice to me, so I told her about my painful experience. I just treated it like I’m just complaining to her."
Minerva was speechless.
"I thought she was a good person, what I didn't expect was that after she asked me to be an extra for her agency, she arranged for me to shoot many, many films and dramas every day. I had to work from six in the morning to two in the morning the following day. The only time I could see my children every day was the few hours I had when I returned to my rental unit to sleep.
However, even so, Bonnie kept urging me to give my children away to someone else. She even asked me to sell them off. she said even if I could only get a small amount of money from selling them, it's still money.
However, I've acted in so many shows for her, she actually did not give me a single penny at all. It was only then that I knew her company was exploiting others. I knew that I certainly won't be able to get any money if I were still in her company. She might even make my children go missing. Therefore, I ran away from her company in secret. After that, I no longer stayed around the city in the northwestern area. I carried my children with me, and I worked odd jobs and begged for food along the way. It took me half a year to be able to save enough money for the ticket to return to South City. After I arrived in South city, I didn't go looking for my parents immediately. Instead, I went straight to the filming studio in South City. I felt that I already had a little bit of experience, so I wanted to try my luck. Just like that, I got myself my first actual speaking role. After that, I stayed in South City for good. I've not been in contact with Bonnie for almost three years. I didn't expect that she would actually impersonate me and go to my parent's house. Her appearance has become like mine, but I could tell from her voice that she is Bonnie."
As soon as Mila said that, the door of her ward was opened.
Sabrina walked in and called out directly, "Yvonne, could you tell me what has happened in all these years when you were living out there?"
Chapter 2782 Mila looked at Sabrina and her tears just kept gushing down her face. "Sabrina, do you...really believe and acknowledge that I'm Yvonne?"
"Without a doubt!" Sabrina said with great certainty.
"Sabrina..." Mila said.
She cried inconsolably and rushed into Sabrina's arms, she cried like a child and also a little unreasonably. "I miss all of you so much! I miss all of you to the point that I could die! But none of you want me anymore! All of you don't want me anymore! Marcus had beaten me up. My parents doubted me. All of you don't want me anymore!"
She sobbed. Sabrina was speechless. Her tears gushed down her face like the dam had broken and dripped onto Yvonne's back. At that moment, Sabrina cried so hard that she could not even say anything anymore.
After a long while, she took a deep breath in and said with a catch in her throat, "It's my fault. It's alL.my fault. I'm the one who's wrong. I've failed you, Yvonne. I shouldn't have suspected you. I shouldn't have acknowledged you so late. I should have put everything down. After that, comb through the entire country thoroughly to rescue you. It's my fault. It's my fault."
She kept saying that it was her fault. She just kept saying it over and over again. Mila kept crying and crying. "All of you don't want me anymore. Marcus even beat me up."
"In the future, I'll break four of Marcus' ribs to avenge you!" Sabrina promised.
"No...no, Sabrina, don't. Don't hit Marcus. Don't hit him!" Mila lifted her head and covered Sabrina's mouth.
It was as if every time Sabrina said that, Marcus would be beaten up. Sabrina smiled gently. "Yvonne, don't cry. Don't cry anymore. You have to tell me what you have experienced all these years. I can only help you after you tell me about your experiences. Also, what the hell is the matter with that fake Yvonne? How does she know so much? She knew so many details, she even knew Minerva, she should know you very well."
Mila lifted her head to look at Sabrina, and then she shook her head. "I told her some things about me, but I didn't go into such details. I also don't know what's going on and how she knows so much about me. She even...she could even have plastic surgery done to the point that she looked like me."
Sabrina thought about it deeply. At that moment, Sabrina's phone rang.
She answered the call. "Hello, Sebastian?"
At the other end of the call, Sebastian said very calmly, "Sabrina, I've not been active for a few years, but I didn't expect that trouble is surging out there. Kingston found out quite a lot in just one morning. Right now, a bold and reckless force has come to South City, and it's intending to wipe out the entire high society of South City in one go."
"A bold and reckless force? What force is that?" Sabrina asked.
She was not afraid no matter what force that was. Sabrina had been through all sorts of hardships since she was a teenager, and was able to live until she was more than thirty years old. she was healthy and strong, and her children were grown. She was rubbing her fists and gearing up for a battle! No matter what force that was! She wanted to see it for herself! She wanted to see with her own eyes who dared to bully Yvonne like that.
Chapter 2783 Sebastian smiled at the other end of the call. "Wow, judging from the tone of my wife's voice, she has already become the leader in the underworld, hasn't she?"
"Hmph! I've been the wife of the leader in the underworld for almost twenty years. What's the matter? Why can't I be the leader myself?" Sabrina said with annoyance.
"Sure, of course, you can!" Sebastian said dotingly. "My wife is certainly worthy of being the leader in the underworld!"
"Dear, hurry up and tell me, what kind of bold ideas does that bold and reckless force have in mind?" Sabrina asked.
Sebastian sighed. "I don't know where those people got the news that I would be quitting the main field of South City. South City doesn't have a leader anymore, so a few extremely smart people wanted to muddle things up in the entire South city."
"Bastards!" Sabrina scolded angrily.
Sebastian smiled. "Don't be anxious. I'm still looking into it. You first comfort Yvonne. All of you shouldn't do anything recklessly.
Otherwise, you'll alert the enemy."
Sabrina nodded. "I got it."
"I'll be hanging up now."
Sabrina immediately thought of something. "Sebastian, hold on."
"Hmm?" Sebastian answered.
"Get someone to first keep an eye on the doctor who did the DNA test at the hospital but don't let him know."
"I've already sent someone to follow him," Sebastian said.
"Mm-hmm. Great," Sabrina said.
"Also, also, this end," Mila suddenly interjected.
Sabrina turned her head around to look at Mila, "what's the matter, Yvonne?"
Mila still had tears on her face, but she was smiling. "Help me... thank Aino especially. I had not met her for five years, but she really has grown up. she is no longer a child anymore. She's a genius and an adult who has a calm and reliable character, gentle disposition, meticulous mind, and sincere and genuine attitude."
Sabrina nodded. "That's right. It's all thanks to Aino this time, she is much purer than US, the adults, she doesn't complicate things when she's looking at a matter. Sometimes, things are just very simple. This is just a case of fraud where someone is trying to gain advantage through the mess by muddling it all up! We'll first start by looking into that quack!"
When she heard Sabrina saying that, Mila felt relieved and leaned her head against Sabrina's shoulder. "Sabrina, can I finally...can I finally be free from trouble and go home?"
"Yvonne, you're already back. Both Sebastian and I have already made arrangements for everything. We would fight for justice for you. Tell me now, where have you been all these years?" Sabrina said.
"Back then, at the hospital, you were so severely injured. How did you leave the hospital? Where did you go after you left the hospital? II Sabrina could not wait to know what happened back then. When she heard Sabrina asking her all that, Mila's expression immediately became dull.
"What's the matter, Yvonne?" Sabrina asked.
Mila's tears instantly streamed down her face again. "Sabrina, I was truly too sad at that time because I witnessed with my own eyes that Marcus was the one who drove the car and ran me over. I truly could not get past it. I was thinking that instead of dying at Marcus' hands, why don't I die out there myself? That's because I love Marcus too much. If I really were to die at Marcus' hand, I would forever and ever be sad. I would still be sad after eighteen lifetimes. I would rather die on my own than be sad. I still had a bit of strength and I could still crawl out the ward. I took advantage of the time when all of you were not around and crawled out the ward in secret. At first, I was hiding under the window outside the ward. I truly could not walk anymore because I had lost a lot of blood and I had all sorts of injuries. At first, I saw that all of you were looking for me. I was worried that I would be found by Marcus, when I almost thought that I could not run out anymore, I was suddenly picked up by a man."
"A man?" Sabrina asked, "what did he look like?"
Mila recalled. "He looked quite good. He was almost the same age as Sebastian. He was a man of a few words as well. When he picked me up, he covered my face and made me inhale ether, so I lost consciousness, when I came to, I was in a van."
"Avan?" Sabrina asked.
"Yes, a van. The car was driven very quickly. I don't know how long we've been driving as well. After that, when the car stopped, I knew that I was already on a ship along with the van," Mila said while recalling the past.
Sabrina pondered. "On...a ship?"
Chapter 2784 Mila smiled miserably. "Yes, on a ship." "Where did the person want to transport you?" Sabrina asked.
"Out of the country." Mila sighed. "I only found out one month later that I had been taken out of the country. I was very much in despair at that time. I even thought that it was because Marcus wanted to get rid of me completely that he sent me abroad to let me fend for myself. However, it was after I arrived abroad that I realized those people were not too familiar with Marcus. But they know a little bit about Marcus."
Thinking of that, Mila looked at Sabrina. "However, the man that had carried me out of the hospital had always been...quite nice to me. He got a professional and all-rounded doctor to stay by my side and kept treating me along the way, so my condition did not get worse. After we arrived abroad, that man let his wife take care of me. His wife is also very nice. It's just that he had restricted me from going out every day. When I asked them anything at that time, they simply were reluctant to say anything. I was only able to see that there were plenty of people who followed the man's orders every day. It seemed like that man's powers covered a huge area. However, his face was usually darkened. He was quite similar to Sebastian in this aspect. However, it seemed like there was a young lady who was that man's superior."
"Frost Quinton," Sabrina blurted out.
"Frost?" Mila asked.
"She's Sebastian's father's wife's niece. Back then, Frost had always wanted to marry Sebastian, but she failed to do so. Later, after Rose passed away, Frost also left the Ford Residence. She went back to her family. I originally thought that she could live out the rest of her life comfortably in her own home. The Quinton family is no longer rich and powerful, but their family properties were still quite substantial. Perhaps Frost was destined not to die. Not long after she returned to her family, she actually received a huge fortune. It's not exactly filthy rich like a whole nation. But she definitely had billions."
Mila was stunned. "she...already got billions, she can do whatever she wants, and she can even get whatever kind of man to be her husband. Why was she still not satisfied? Could it be that she wanted to take revenge on you?"
Sabrina nodded, "when have I offended her? I've never, she showed her dominance to me the first time I met her. Ever since the beginning, her wish to marry Sebastian was just wishful thinking on her part. However, she still hated me in the end. Her hatred toward me was baffling."
Sabrina sighed. "Perhaps God simply wanted to help Frost. Not only did she obtain a fortune, but the Quinton family also had a very loyal servant named Eldon Carver."
"Eldon?" Mila asked.
"Yes, he's the man who brought you out of the country from the small city down south," said Sabrina.
"Where is this man?" Mila asked. "Actually...after he had taken me away, he didn't treat me badly. He got someone to give me treatments, and he even let his wife take care of me. I was quite well taken care of after that. At that time, my face was almost deformed after being run over by the car. He even got someone to put my bones into place. The plastic surgery was not done very well, but if my face was not fixed at that time, there would be complications after that."
"Was it at that time that you had procedures done on your face?" Sabrina asked.
Mila nodded. "Mm-hmm. Not only did they help me reconstruct my face, but they also helped me keep my children. That was really not easy. Therefore, even though it was Eldon who had taken me away, I actually don't hate him much. The reason I ran away from him was that he had been keeping me locked up. I don't know their backgrounds, and I was going to give birth to my children. I was afraid that they had kept me locked up because they wanted to wait for me to deliver my children and then sell them off. Therefore, I ran away in the end."
"You...you really ran away?" Sabrina asked.
Chapter 2785 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." 1 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."
Chapter 2786 Both Sabrina and Minerva were stunned.
Immediately after, Sabrina asked, "You...you got sick? Was it because...you were starving at that time and you didn't have anything to eat every day that you became anemic and got a kind of blood disorder?"
’Yvonne, is your blood different from before and from your parents' because you got sick and changed your blood?" Mila also asked Mila impatiently. 1 Yvonne shook her head and smiled faintly. "Mm-hmm. To be precise, I got a type of hematopoietic stem cell transplant and it cured my condition."
Sabrina grabbed Yvonne. "What the hell happened, Yvonne?"
Mila exhaled. 'I was in a slump abroad at that time, and I was fighting a bunch of children and some homeless people every day for food. As I kept fighting, my belly also gradually got bigger. To be honest, even I, myself, could not guarantee that I could still give birth to my children.
Where was I supposed to go and deliver my children? I could not guarantee all that. I was simply thinking at that time, it would be also good for me to die together with my children and have my children keep me accompanied in my belly for just one more day. Perhaps God had seen that I've suffered so much. Perhaps God saw that my belly was truly too big. Suddenly, one day, I was taken home by a couple. That was a couple who were slightly older than me. They looked like they were about thirty-six years old. They didn't have any children, but they had a very good relationship with each other. Both of them were college professors. They were also novelists during their leisure time. They saw that I came from the same country as them and was pregnant, so they pitied me and took me in to be their helper, which was to be their maid. From then on, I had a fixed place to stay, bread to eat, and milk to drink every day. Because the couple and I came from the same country as them, I could even cook forthem. In the past, I had no idea how to cook at all when I was at home. It was after I started living with the middle-aged couple that I learned how to cook. My job every day was to clean and tidy the rooms. When I was free, I could just lay in the chair and bathe in the sun. I had lived quite a comfortable life for a period of time."
Sabrina rolled her eyes at Yvonne with annoyance. "Then why didn't you give us a call? Do you know how hard of a time we were having while looking for you?’ Mila shook her head. "I didn't dare to call because I was going to be delivering my children soon, and I was afraid that my parents would worry. I was thinking that after I've delivered my children, I'll make and save some money at the professors' house, then I would be able to bring my children back to this country. However, just when I was about to be wheeled into the delivery room and was about to give birth, I was diagnosed with a type of rare condition in my gene."
"What kind of condition?' Sabrina asked.
"It was a kind of gene mutating condition. There's only one in a million chance for this condition to occur. It's very rare in this world. Also, I already had this condition since I was born. If I hadn't been pregnant or the children in my belly did not grow to a certain size, my condition never would have become full-blown."
Both Sabrina and Minerva were speechless. At that moment, both of them did not know what to say. Sabrina simply looked at Minerva.
Minerva studied medicine. She was the one who knew the depth of the medical field as well as all sorts of tough and complicated medical conditions from all over the world the best.
"There are billions of people in this world. Plenty of people would have some strange conditions that even we as doctors have never seen.
How could Yvonne...be so unlucky?" Minerva put Yvonne in her arms.
She then cried inconsolably. "Yvonne..."
Chapter 2787 However, Mila smiled. "Actually, I was really very lucky. I was too lucky. Because the reason the hospital that helped diagnose me was able to do so was that they had once encountered a patient with the same condition in the past. In the whole world, their hospital alone encountered two cases, which was truly a miracle."
"Did the other patient survive?" Minerva immediately asked.
Mila nodded. "She's still alive."
Minerva was curious. "How did she survive?"
Mila said, "Like me, that patient also got diagnosed when she was about to deliver her child. After she gave birth to her child, her condition made her especially cold. The hospital could not find an even better way to treat her, so they were only able to just keep doing whatever they could. They kept giving the woman, who had just given birth, highly nutritious foods to keep her alive every day, and then they let her get pregnant again. When she gave birth again, they used the child’s cord blood to save the mother's life."
"Cord blood." Minerva was enlightened. "In fact, when there were no better ways, using cord blood should be the safest treatment."
Mila said like a person who had survived a great disaster, "It's not all kinds of cord blood that could be useful. It was just a coincidence for her. Also, it has something to do with her ethnic group as well. She was from an ethnic group who lived in the high mountains. The bodies of the entire ethnic group were better at enduring the cold. Their blood was colder by nature as well. Therefore, it was just a coincidence for her."
"You...you mean, you also used that child's cord blood?" Sabrina asked incredulously.
Mila also said emotionally, "At that time, all of the doctors had the mind to just give it a try and just do whatever they could. If they could save me, then that would be great. If they couldn't, there was nothing else they could do either. Even if they were to send me back home, we had never had any such cases in our country, so there was nothing we could do as well, so why not just give it a try? However, unexpectedly, after I had a bone marrow transplantation, my body actually miraculously recovered..."
There was a pause before Mila smiled and looked at Sabrina and Minerva. ’ So, Sabrina, if my life was actually going in my usual trajectory, I would have enjoyed endless sweetness as Missus Shaw. My parents loved me, my in-laws loved me, and my husband loved me even more.
I would have been living a life as a rich wife in high society, and I would have a pair of twins.However, I may only be able to live two more days at best after I had given birth to my children, and I would have died. Even if I was able to live another two more years, I would have to rely on all sorts of medication. Without the medication, I might not have even lasted for a week after I delivered my children. However, I'm still alive now. I could at least live twenty or thirty more years. That way, my children would be all grown-up. I feel that if God let me choose between living a happy but short life and a miserable life, but I could watch my children grow up and take care of my parents for thirty more years, I would choose the latter. I'm not an idealist. I'm not that proud either. I'm simply thinking that a live dog is better off than a dead lion.
I'm thinking that even if I had to be a beggar my whole life, as long as I could watch my children grow up and take a few more glances at my parents, then I wouldn't want to die. I feel that this matter is actually a blessing I received from God. I have had this condition since I was born. Originally, I couldn't be cured. However, I'm now cured. It's just that I suffered a little. Actually, L.have earned a great deal."
Both Sabrina and Minerva were stunned by what they had heard. They were unable to say anything for a very long while.
Sabrina, in particular, was stunned for a long while, and then she suddenly hugged Mila, burst out crying, and said, "It turns out.Jt turns out that this was what happened. It turns out that everything was fated..."
Chapter 2788 Everything was fated. What Sabrina said was especially appropriate.
Mila smiled in relief. ’That's right."
Sabrina hugged Yvonne and was extremely emotional. "I finally understood why you had to suffer like that, Yvonne. Everything, all of it, was for the sake of your condition. Thank heavens! Everything will be fine in the future. Everything will get better in the future. I will acknowledge you as Yvonne, and so will your parents and Marcus. In the future, you'll still be that sweet little princess."
Mila hugged Sabrina and cried like a child. "Sabrina, you've finally acknowledged me... I feel I'm already very, very lucky. I'm already very lucky that you're willing to acknowledge me."
Sabrina raised her hand and poked Mila's head. "You're not just very lucky. You're the luckiest silly girl in the whole wide world! Think about it. You've got a condition that only occurred in one out of a million and even maybe ten million people, and you're cured. Say, how lucky you are! We're not the only ones doting on you. You're simply God's favorite. Yvonne, listen to me. None of the setbacks you've encountered mattered. How could someone not encounter setbacks in life? Everyone had to experience all sorts of things in life to not live in vain. Do you agree?"
Mila nodded her head aggressively. "Mm-hmm!"
Both of them hugged each other and they laughed after crying and cried after laughing.
It was after a while that Sabrina thought of something. "Yvonne, you should have been living quite a good life if you had the pair of middle- aged professors helping you. Why did you return?"
Mila smiled miserably. "Sabrina, you said it just now as well. How could someone not encounter setbacks in life? Actually, what I want to say is that everything in life is simply unpredictable. You feel that I've suffered a lot of grievances, but no matter what, I'm still alive. However, God truly must have been blind to let that pair of middle-aged professors experience such a thing. How great of a couple they were. They were so nice to me.
They were cultured and knowledgeable. They were much younger than my parents and were only around ten years older than me, but they truly were very much like my parents. I was actually quite satisfied to live with them with my children. However, that day came so suddenly and there were no warning signs at all. The couple was walking on the street, and just like that, they were fatally shot without any reason at all by the kind of criminal who was on the run." 1 Sabrina was simply stunned when she heard that.
She covered her mouth with her hand. "Gosh..."
Mila sighed. "That's right. Life is unpredictable. I, on the other hand, was so saddened and helpless that I couldn't even cry. They...they were my family abroad. I've already lost everything in my country, and I've lost them abroad. At that time, if I didn't have two starving children with me, I really wanted to die. However, once I thought of my children, I could only force myself to keep on living."
"What did you do then after you've lost your livelihood?" Sabrina asked again.
Mila raised her gaze and looked into the distance. There was a kind of calmness and determination in her smile. "Sabrina, I only admired you in the past. I felt that you had had it rough, but you had also pulled through it. Everytime I thought of how much you've suffered, I simply wondered, how did you pull through? Later, when it was my turn to suffer, every time I couldn't hold on anymore, I would think of you. Once I thought of you, I would have the strength to continue down the path."
Mila glanced at Sabrina. "You might not have expected it, but after that middle-aged couple died, I started my long journey to return home. I did not have money on me, so I kept working odd jobs along the way.
Fortunately, I had a good foundation in Spanish, so I was able to communicate with others abroad. I kept begging for food, walking, and working for others along the way. It took me three months on foot to get to the northwestern region of our country." 1 "The northwestern region? How did you survive in that desolate place?" Sabrina asked with concern.
Chapter 2789 Mila looked at Sabrina with pride. "When I was in the northwestern region, I even helped others chop firewood. Do you believe it? I carried one child on my back and another in my arms, then after I finished chopping the firewoods, I carried the firewoods with both my hands. I was able to make about three dollars per trip. Just like that, I just kept saving little by little. Half a month later, I saved enough for the travel fare to go to Wecester City from the northwestern region. After that, I settled down in Wecester City."
'Is that where you met Bonnie?" Sabrina asked.
Thinking of Bonnie, Mila sighed. "That Yvonne who is staying at my house, I could tell from her voice that she is Bonnie. When she took me in back then, I thought that I had met another good person because..."
Because of what?" Sabrina asked.
Mila laughed in a self-mocking manner. "Because I have always been meeting good people since I was a child, other than the time that I was kidnapped and taken abroad, the rest of the people, all of them, that I had met were good. You're a good person. Ruth is a good person.
Marcus is a good person. The couple abroad were good people as well. The man who kidnapped me included, he is actually not that bad.
His wife is also a very good person. I really have never met any bad people. Bonnie had always been very good to me, so I didn't guard against her. I told Bonnie about all of my past and my experiences. However, I had never expected that I would meet a wolf this time! A wolf that would completely bite a person to death and would even forcibly occupy another person's home!"
Sabrina's gaze also became fierce. 'It seems like this woman has come prepared, and she's determined to win. otherwise, she wouldn't have changed her face to look like you, right? If I have guessed it right, Bonnie was probably the person who had bribed the doctor in the hospital.
Bonnie is at your parent's house now."
Mila immediately got anxious. "This can't happen, Sabrina. It just can't.
Bonnie had gotten work done on her face to look like me, but she is not me, after all. She will harm my parents. She would cheat them off their bit of life savings and also all of the properties that Marcus had given my parents in the past few years. By then, my parents would lose all their money to spend for the rest of their lives.' Sabrina smiled. "Silly girl, how could your parents be short of money for the rest of their lives? You don't know this yet, but Kingston is now one of the five managing directors for the company. The annual dividends that he gets are well over a billion. There's also me and Marcus.
There are plenty of people who will support your parents for the rest of their lives. You don't have to worry about that."
Mila was so anxious that she cried. "Sabrina, that's even worse. Doesn't this prove even more that Bonnie and her gang are coming for my cousin, you, and also Marcus? They first want to control my parents, and then use them to blackmail all of you. They have a big sinister scheme, Sabrina.’ Sabrina looked at Mila in relief and then raised her hand to touch Mila's face. "Silly girl, you've finally become smart, and you've finally had the mind to guard against others. You're right. Since Bonnie spent so much effort to make herself look like you, she certainly wouldn't just be coming for your parent's retirement funds alone. How much money do your parents have as their retirement funds? At best, they would only have a few million dollars. Why would she spend so much effort for the sake of that? She certainly has a grand scheme! She wants to use your parents as the bargaining chip to blackmail me, Marcus, and your cousin. She even wants to completely replace you, marry into the Shaw family, and be the real young mistress of the Shaw family. It's all possible."
"Then...what should we do now then?" Mila was so anxious that tears kept gushing down her face.
Sabrina sneered. ' What should we do? We beat them at their own game!"
Chapter 2790 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...l 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. 2 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 know...how 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."
