Chapter 48 

She hadn’t seen her mother for years. In her memory, the once young and beautiful face now had some wrinkles, and under the sunlight, the white hair at her head was clearly visible. 

At this moment, her mother was sitting in a wheelchair, basking in the sun with her eyes closed. Everything around her looked so peaceful, and there was a hint of gentleness on her face. 

Seeing Andrew nod, Elizabeth pinched her fingertips again. It wasn’t until the pain came that she realized this wasn’t just her imagination. 

Looking down at her mother’s photo, she felt a strong sense of longing and her heart felt heavy, as if weighed down by a stone. She felt stuffy and uncomfortable and couldn’t control the pain inside any longer as tears welled up and rolled down. her checks. 

Seeing the tears in Elizabeth’s eyes, Andrew felt a faint ache in his heart. 

He crossed over the desk and walked up to Elizabeth, pulling her into his arms. 

“I’ve located the sanatorium where your mother is staying. It took me some time and connections to take this photo, but I believe that soon you’ll be able to reunite with her.” 

Andrew hugged Elizabeth tightly, feeling her body trembling from her sobs. For a moment, he felt unsure of what to do, so he could only pat her shoulder and comfort her tenderly. 

“Do you know why my mother left back then?” 

Elizabeth asked as she leaned against his warm embrace. The pain inside her slowly faded away and was replaced by a sense of peace that she had never felt before. 

“She was poisoned back then. I haven’t investigated the details. But I do know that she was taken away later and has been detoxifying herself all these years.” 

“Is her condition very serious?” 

Elizabeth looked up at Andrew with misty eyes filled with concern. He felt his heart tighten and reached out to stroke her furry hair. 

“I… don’t want to hide it from you. Her condition at that time was indeed quite serious. If it weren’t for timely treatment, it’s very likely that she wouldn’t have made it…” 

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth’s body stiffened, and tears fell uncontrollably again. 

“But after all these years of rehabilitation, her body has improved a lot. She still has difficulty moving around, but I will let you know the rest of the details once I find out, okay?” 

Andrew comforted her in a soft voice. 

“Yes, Andrew. Thank you.” 

Elizabeth sniffed, then nodded. 

“It can also be inferred that your mother is doing well now and receiving good care, isn’t she?” 

In order to prevent Elizabeth from keeping this matter to herself, Andrew comforted her. 

“Now that we know where the sanatorium is, can I secretly visit my mother? Just a quick glance would be enough.” Elizabeth pleaded anxiously. 

After seeing her mother’s photo, her desire to see her mother became more and more urgent. She was like a person who had been thirsting for water in the desert for years. When she suddenly got a sip of water, she realized it wasn’t enough to quench her thirst. 

Only by getting more information could she reduce her fear of the future and feel more confident. 

I’m afraid that won’t be possible. Taking this photo has already alerted them, and the sanatorium has increased security. If we alarm them again, they might move your mother somewhere else, and all our previous efforts will have been in vain!” 

Andrew persuaded earnestly. For the first time, he began to examine himself and realized that he couldn’t do everything. It seemed that only by working hard to become stronger could he fulfill the wishes of those around him. 

“What about taking a look around, okay? I just need to know my mother’s exact location. Is that okay?” 

Elizabeth begged, tugging at Andrew’s arm with a hint of grievance in her tone, but also with a hint of coquettishness that caught him off guard. 

He found that he couldn’t bear to see Elizabeth unhappy or being coquettish. 

“Okay?” 

Seeing Andrew remain silent, Elizabeth couldn’t help but feel anxious. 

Chapter 48 

It had been more than a decade since she was separated from her mother. For these ten years, she had been searching for any news of her mother in a hopeless mood. 

But now that they finally had some information about her mother’s whereabouts, all she wanted was to be closer to her. 

Even such a humble request could not be fulfilled? 

“Okay, disguise yourself tomorrow. I’ll take you to see her near the sanatorium.” 

After a pause, he finally relented. 

“Andrew, you’re the best!” 

Getting his permission. Elizabeth finally broke into a smile and hugged Andrew tightly. 

Andrew was momentarily stunned before returning her embrace. The atmosphere in the study room became extremely warm and cozy. 

The next afternoon, after spending the entire morning dealing with work. Andrew’asked the driver to pick up Elizabeth. They met in the maple forest opposite the sanatorium. 

Surprisingly, they had not discussed it beforehand, but both of them dressed up in a particularly youthful way and put on masks tightly. 

“Andrew, you still look good in this outfit. Now you look especially approachable,” Elizabeth sald. 

Looking at him in his gray sweater and jeans, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances. 

“Do you mean that I usually look very scary?” Andrew narrowed his beautiful eyes and asked in a resentful tone. 

“It’s true. You wear black every day and look like you have a face that could curdle milk. It feels good to dress differently occasionally, and it gives off a nice vibe,” she replied. 

“Oh.” Andrew frowned. He had already made up his mind to try various styles of dressing in the future. He definitely could not leave such a stereotypical impression on Elizabeth. 

“It’s also good for you to dress like this.” He returned her compliment. 

But Elizabeth did not smile at his words. Her previously high spirits instantly decreased. She shifted her gaze from Andrew to the sanatorium opposite. 

It was said that the sanatorium took in all kinds of incurable patients, including those with physical and mental illnesses. 

To prevent patients from escaping and to protect their privacy, a ten–foot–high wall was built. 

From here, they could only see a white wall. They couldn’t see anything else. 

Elizabeth sighed faintly. “Andrew, if I say that I’m starting to feel unsatisfied again, will you scold me?” 

After coming here, she realized that she could not pry into anything about her mother. Elizabeth’s mood instantly became heavy.
