Go After My Ex-wife
Chapter 703 I Have No Courage To Acknowledge Her

"My child, you're wrong. Others may think that I'm high and mighty, but that's just an illusion. My life is much sadder than yours, but I've always lived with a positive and optimistic attitude. I've always been working hard until my efforts are recognised and approved. Now, my life is giving me back what I deserve. That's why I'm telling you, you can't give up easily. You have to strive in life, actively and optimistically. What's worse in our existence is not the suffering from illness or the pain of losing one's family, but overcoming the hurdles in your heart. You have to believe in yourself. Madam Lilian sat in front of the bed and held Kate's hand while explaining to her patiently and carefully."

"Kate's weak consciousness for survival and her aloofness in dealing with worldly affairs did not belong to a positive and optimistic person. In fact, she had shown that she had given up on life, was dissatisfied with her current situation, and just going through her life without care."

"That was being irresponsible with her own life. She isolated herself and was unwilling to interact with anyone. As time passed, she would seal herself from society, which would be bad for her body, especially as a patient with kidney problems."

"The day before, Madam Lilian came to the hospital to ask the dean about Kate's physical condition in detail. Then, she learnt that although Kate's kidney was damaged when she was in a car accident, it was later cured. However, the disease relapsed and triggered uremia because she was always in a bad and foul mood. Plus, her will to live was weak. Therefore, Madam Lilian visited Kate that day to instill the correct and positive outlook in life."

Kate had no parents since she was a child. She must have grown up with low self-esteem. It was not her fault to have such a character. Madam Lilian could only blame herself for not fulfilling her duty as a mother.

"Hearing what she said, Kate looked at her with confused eyes."

Madam Lilian held on tightly to her hand and spelled it out earnestly.

"My child, everyone's life will not be smooth sailing and it depends on one's attitude in life. We must be optimistic, energetic, and live happily. Only then will we get to enjoy the beauty of life. Those who are conservative and negative will only live in the shadow of the past. Not only will there be no happiness, but they also lose the meaning of life. Madam Lilian sighed at that point. """My child, in fact, you are much more blessed than I am."""""

"At the end of her sentence, not only Kate, but even Belle, who was standing to one side, was a little surprised. Madam Lilian, the person who had everything, was less blessed than Kate, who was lying on the hospital bed. Who would have believed this?"

"However, Madam Lilian seemed to understand what they were thinking. She held Kate in one hand and Belle in the other, put their hands together, and said lovingly, "My dear, at least you have an excellent daughter accompanying you, but I'm different. I'm alone."""""

"At that point, Belle finally understood that Madam Lilian was missing her loved ones. She blinked her bright and clear eyes and smiled, showing her row of white teeth. She said wittily, """Madam, you're wrong. Don't you still have me, your granddaughter? Why are you alone?"""""

"Her words were firm, which stunned Madam Lilian for a moment. She immediately smiled brightly and quickly replied, "Yes, indeed, I've said it wrongly. I still have you, a good granddaughter. Therefore, I am a blessed person."

"Of course, Belle immediately said proudly, and smiled."

"A glowing light was evident on Madam Lilian's face. She then smiled like a child. Obviously, she was very happy."

Kate was moved and began to laugh together.

"Madam, where are your relatives? Kate thought that with Madam Lilian's fame and status, she should have many children and grandchildren. However, for some unknown reason, she said that she was alone. Thinking of that, Kate asked out of curiosity."

"Upon hearing this, Madam Lilian didn't blame them. Instead, she smiled and showed the glory of maternal love on her face. She held Kate and Belle even tighter in her hands."

"As for me, I once had a daughter, but when she was only one year old, I was forced to leave her because of all kinds of mistakes. Since then, I have neither seen her again nor taken care of her, until... Madam Lilian fell into a daze of memories. She had a motherly smile on her face, and was completely immersed in the beautiful memories of the past, as if she could not extricate herself from them."

"Belle was stunned. Looking at the yearning expression on Madam Lilian's face, she felt a kind of inexplicable sadness."

"Madam, how is your daughter now? Have you found her? After a while, Belle asked in a low voice."

"Madam Lilian, who was caught up in her memories, listened to Belle's words. She nodded and whispered, ""She is fine. I have already found her.""

"Really? That's great. Then, you have a daughter. Belle said excitedly, ""You can acknowledge her again.""""

"However, the glow on Madam Lilian's face was gone, replaced with a painful and uneasy expression." "No. Madam Lilian shook her head and said with doubt, ""Although I found her, I don't dare to do so.""""" Why? Belle was extremely puzzled when she heard this.

"Ah, it's a little shameful. Madam Lilian sighed with her hand on her wrist. """It's not that I don't want to acknowledge her. I'm just afraid that she won't recognize me as her birth mother. After all, I left her when she was only a year old. I never took care of her again and provided her any motherly warmth. I was afraid that she would hate me and isn't willing to recognise me.'

"After speaking, Madam Lilian's facial expression became gloomier."

"Hearing this, Belle also became silent."

"Madam, I think you should take the initiative to acknowledge her. After all, blood is thicker than water, and family affection is continuously shed. Your daughter has had no mother since she was a child. So, she must live a very bad life. It is understandable if she has some resentment. But as long as you take the initiative, I think she will be fine. After all, everyone in the world wants a mother, not to mention a great mother like you. Belle thought for a while and started to encourage Madam Lilian."

"Really? Do you really think so? After hearing Belle's words, Madam Lilian seemed to be encouraged. Her face was filled with excitement, and tears welled up in her eyes. She held their hands tightly and asked seriously, ""Belle, is what you said true? If I do so, then my daughter will accept me, won't she?""""

Belle didn't think much of the expectant look in Madam Lilian's eyes. She just nodded her head fervently.

"She wanted to see the dignified Madam Lilian happy. So, she seriously nodded in response. In fact, she was not sure in her heart, but she needed to do this to comfort her."
