Chapter 354 Not Without a Mother

• My face felt ticklish. I scratched it for a bit, but the feeling still lingered. I opened my eyes, and there Shawn was, brushing a finger across my cheek. Languidly, I stirred and held his hand. I asked, my voice hoarse, "Where have you been? It feels like it's been forever. I thought you… My mother, she…" My voice broke.
• The sadness in my heart must have gotten through to him. Shawn lowered his head and pressed his forehead against mine. The feeling of his breath caressing my face calmed my heart down.
• My eyes glistened, and I said, "I thought I'd go my whole life never meeting her once, but I was wrong. I found her secret. The fact that she loved me. The fact she had to hide it. It was… larger than life. She was the mother I wished to have, but just when I was trying to approach her, she's gone. There's this sorrow in me. I don't know what to do about this. My heart aches."
