Chapter 415 The One Who Stayed
Lana called van my nwhile she was unconscious?
FUERA SAMS
Laly’s gave drifted off, and she couldn't help remembering when she was little-how Lana used to hold her and
gemly call her nagain and again.
Sometimes in the dead of night, she still missed the mother who once loved her, who had once been so land.
But she couldn't forget the way Luna had hurt her over and over again for Mathilda’s sake-how twisted and
vicious her face becin those moments.
What's done is done.
Back then, they had cto an agreement: Lily would marry into the Lu family in Mathilda’s place. From that
point on, she would owe the Ginger family nothing. There was no reason for their lives to be tangled up anymore.
“Luna stopped being my mom a long tago. She’s injured. | have no obligation to visit her. Now get the hell
out.”
“Lily1”
The three Ginger sons’ expressions turned stormy the moment they heard her say Luna wasn’t her mother
anymore.
To them, Lily was heartless-completely ungrateful,
But deep down, they knew the truth: Randy was just the scapegoat. The real reason Lily had been kidnapped
was Mathilda. And they would never allow Mathilda to go to prison.
So while they were angry, guilt kept them from lashing out. Without another word, they turned and rushed
toward the intensive care unit.
“Lily...”
Bodger and the others were only allowed in after they changed into the custom-made visitor gowns provided by
the private hospital.
Mathilda’s nerves were shot.
Especially when she remembered the way Luna had looked at her just before the massive portrait collapsed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat look sent tremors through her entire body.
She didn’t want to face Luna.
She was afraid of the disappointment in her eyes-more afraid she would speak the truth.
But staying away only made her even more uneasy. In the end, she forced herself into the gown and followed the
others into the ICU.
Luna’s eyes were half-open when they entered, and she was still murmuring Lily’s name.

Chapter 415 The One Who Stayed
She had been dreaming throughout her coma.
Dreams filled with memories from the tshe adopted Lily.
When she first took Lily in, she truly loved that warm, soft little girl.
She had meant to treat her as her own daughter-to love her forever.
But nothing in this world lasts forever.
Somewhere along the way, her attitude toward Lily changed.

And when her friends kept telling her over and over again that an adopted child could never compare to her real
daughter... that she had to prioritize her biological child or risk losing her... once Mathilda returned, Luna
deliberately began to distance herself from Lily.
She had noticed-more than once-that Mathilda was setting Lily up. And still, she pretended not to see it She let
her husband and sons harshly punish Lily again and again.
Even that time, in the freezing snow, when Lily was thrown into the icy river by her sons-Luna just stood there
coldly and watched.
She watched Lily struggle toward the shore, only to be kicked back into the water again and again.
In the end, Lily nearly lost the ability to have children.
Back then, Luna told herself Lily deserved it.
Why should her own daughter suffer in the countryside while Lily-who had stolen her daughter's rightful life-got
to live so well?
Lily deserved to suffer. She deserved to feel the pain and torment her real daughter had gone through.
All Luna wanted was to make her biological daughter happy. To make up for everything she had lost.
She seemed to forget... if she hadn't adopted Lily, Nancy would have.
She also seemed to forget... eight years ago, during that massive fire-if Lily hadn't risked her life to carry her
out, there would be no Luna left in this world.
And now, as she lay unconscious, all those memories she had tried so hard to bury cflooding back like a
curse, tormenting her soul and conscience until she wished she were dead.
They say blood is thicker than water. But when her life was on the line, it was the daughter she raised who had
risked her life to save her.
The daughter she pampered like a treasure-her biological child-had sent her straight to hell in a single
moment.
She had failed her Lily.
“Lily... Lily...”
She missed her Lily so much.

Luna didn’t answer.
Her body hurt.
But what hurt more... was her heart.
Because all this pain and all these injuries-were gifts from her own daughter.
