Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 651: Chapter 654: Goodbye, Mother

Lily Gray looked at Bella Scott, her eyes calm, so calm that there were almost no ripples.

“You can ask yourself, after nearly twenty years of separation, who, between me and Hannah Ford, is your Ruby Ford?”

“During this time, are your feelings for me and Hannah really the same as you say they are?”

“Or is it that after these twenty years together, you have already transferred all of your love for ‘Ruby Ford’ to Hannah Ford? Mother… think carefully and then tell me the true answer in your heart.”

“I… I…” Bella Scott couldn’t speak out.

Lily Gray’s words, like a sharp blade, pierced the softest and most genuine part of her heart.

She felt as if she had been completely dissected by the other party.

Her heart was exposed to the sunlight without any cover.

Yes, after twenty years of separation, her love for Ruby Ford had long been entrusted to another daughter.

Lily Gray was her biological daughter, but… the Hannah Ford who had been with her every day, and whom she had cared for and loved with all her heart… the feelings she had for her were even harder to let go of.

“You see, you already have the answer in your heart.” Lily Gray bent down and pried Bella Scott’s fingers from her own one by one.

“I originally thought that over time, you might gradually remember that I am your biological daughter. I wanted to give you time… but now, I don’t want to.”

The last finger holding onto her pants hem was also pried open by Lily Gray.

“Mother, you will always be my biological mother. But… from now on, you are merely the biological mother who gave birth to me. There is no need for us to see each other again.”

Lily Gray stood up, emotionless.

She was afraid that if she didn’t turn around now, tears would fall again.

“Wait a moment…” Bella Scott anxiously called out to her.

Lily Gray stopped, but didn’t turn around. She just quietly waited for what Bella Scott had to say next.

She thought Bella would at least say a few words to keep her.

But, she overestimated Bella Scott’s heart.

“Lilith… Can we let go of the kidnapping? That has nothing to do with Hannah, she is innocent! It was all my doing!”

If Ethan Wilson didn’t want to let go, no one in A City would be able to protect Hannah Ford from him.

Bella Scott was truly afraid…

It wasn’t that she didn’t love Lily Gray; she just took Lily Gray’s words just now as a moment of anger.

A child cannot deny her mother. When she calms down, Bella could try to persuade her again.

The top priority now was to protect Hannah.

“Lilith, you’re okay now. Look at your mother… your mother has such a severe injury on her head. And Hannah, too, was beaten up by your husband, and her wounds just started to heal when they were torn open again by Ethan Wilson… If there is any retribution, we have already suffered it. One retribution for one retribution, now, your mother and Hannah are already two retributions. We are all already atoning for our sins…”

‘They?’

Lily Gray felt as if her heart had been stabbed again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

So, she, Lily Gray, was a single entity, while Bella Scott and Hannah Ford were ‘they.’

‘They, mother and daughter,’ were a whole.

“Mother, I beg you, can we not pursue this matter and just let it go?” Bella Scott’s hoarse voice was filled with sadness and tears.

She cried, begging Lily Gray.

Bella Scott truly didn’t understand why things had turned out like this for just one family.

…

Goodbye, mother.

Lily Gray heard a voice echoing in her heart.

A long time later, Lily Gray, who had been standing still, finally spoke hoarsely – “Fine.”

“Lilith!” Bella Scott’s face flashed with surprise.

“I’m leaving, you take good care of yourself.” Lily Gray left the sick room without looking back.

Bella Scott would never know that just now, she had lost her daughter forever.
