Liam is getting better

Mrs. Smith and Chris came home from the restaurant on that day, and both felt a bit under the weather as they got caught in the rain.

Chris, being a boy with a good physique, was just fine after having a bowl of pepper soup made by the nanny that night.

However, Mrs. Smith fell seriously ill.

It seemed like a disease borne from external factors, but in fact, it was heartache.

The Smith family knew why, but they were powerless.

Maureen was almost eighteen years old.

They couldn't possibly force her to come back. Moreover, even if she did come back, they couldn't return to the past.

Maureen would despise them even more.

The Smith family finally soberly realized this point. Regardless, they didn't give up, believing that bloodline ties are the most unbreakable things in the world.

Maureen might be angry and resent them for one or two years, but she couldn't possibly discard them forever.
