Valarie had failed.

Her expression darkened. "Useless fool!"

The moment Nathalie saw Lila, her anger vanished, replaced with a gentle smile. She took a bite of the fruit Lila offered.

"Lila, you're truly my little angel," Nathalie cooed.

Lila nestled into her mother's arms. "Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault for being away all these years, stuck abroad. I wasn't here for you, and certain people took advantage of that." Nathalie gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Silly girl, don't say that. Your health is what matters most. Now that you've recovered, you can stay by my side from now on." Lila looked up and asked, "But what if I get married?"

Nathalie replied, "Even if you get married, you can always come back often. Or better yet, we'll find you a husband who moves in with us, so you'll never have to leave." Lila's face flushed with embarrassment. "Mom, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with you forever."
