Lilian gently pushed open the door. The medical equipment had already been removed. Jorge stood beside the bed, taking Mr. Robert’s blood pressure. The old man, now propped up in plaid pajamas, looked much better-his color had returned.
When Lilian entered, the doctors in the room all looked a little awkward.
Jorge smiled and said, “Lilian, you’re finally here. We’ve just finished running tests-everything looks perfect p>
Ever since he had witnessed her skills, Jorge had developed deep respect for this young girl. For someone her age to wield such mastery over medicine-it was nothing short of astonishing.
And it made him realize just how far he still had to go. I medicine, there truly was no end to learning. Lilian walked to the bedside and checked Mr. Robert’s pulse. A soft smile curved her lips. “Everything looks stable. As long as Mr. Robert follows the treatment plan I believe he’ll live to see his great-grandchildren p>
Jorge was about to say something when Mr. Robert cut in with a gruff voice, “Enough. I know my own body. You all can leave now p>
Jorge smiled and quietly ushered the other doctors out of the room.
Once the door closed, silence fell.
Lilian calmly met Mr. Robert’s gaze as he studied her. Neither of them spoke right away.
Then the old man finally said, his tone laced with mock severity, “Hmph. You really are an impolite little thing. You didn’t even greet your elder properly p>
His words made Lilian laugh. Of all the reactions she expected from the legendary Mr. Robert-the man once feared on every battlefield-this wasn’t one of them. “With you staring me down like that, I was too scared to remember my manners p>
“Such glib excuses.” Mr. Robert snorted under his breath.
Lilian didn’t argue. She smiled. “Well, you’re the patient now. Whatever you say goes p>
Her calm yet respectful demeanor made Mr. Robert warm to her even more.
“You must know who I am p>
His tone suddenly shifted, sharp and heavy.
Lilian didn’t shy away. She met his eyes. “I do p>
“And you weren’t afraid? That failing to save me might ring you trouble p>
Still smiling, Lilian replied, “To me, you were a patient. Nothing more. If I had to weigh a person’s identity before deciding to save them, then that would go agains the very reason I became a doctor p>
Mr. Robert’s stern expression slowly softened. “Rare. Very rare indeed. Someone with your background, and you still remember your original purpose. No wonder you’ve risen to where you are p>

That he knew her identity didn’t surprise Lilian. A man like him could uncover anything if he wanted to.
So she didn’t try to hide it. Calmly, she said, “Thank you for the compliment. Medicine is my life’s pursuit. The rest-titles, positions-those are just things I happened to pick up along the way. Nothing more p>
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his admiration deepene.
“You saved me,” he said. “That entitles you to a request!
Lilian didn’t hesitate. “Skyreach Group will be launching in Kingston soon. I hope you’ll lend us your support when the time comes p>
Mr. Robert stared at her for a beat-then burst into laughter. “You really don’t hold back p>
This girl… she didn’t ask for money or power. But what he asked for tied the Hawk family directly to Skyreach Group’s future. Anyone who dared go against hem now would have to think twice, knowing the Hawks stood behind them. Clever-like a fox.
Reaching to his bedside, Mr. Robert picked up a folder and handed it to her. “Here. I figure this is something you’ll need p>
Lilian accepted it without hesitation.
After leaving the Hawk family estate, Lilian bought a bouquet of sunflowers and made her way alone to a cemetery on the outskirts of the city.
Compared to the bustling downtown, this place was quiet, even desolate. Everything was blanketed in snow.
She walked slowly, her steps leaving soft prints in the white powder. It had been nearly twenty years—two lifetimes-since she had last come here. Not once since her mother’s death had she returned.
Guided by memories from her past life, she found the grave.
It was silent, untouched. No one had visited for a long time.
Lilian stared at the photo on the tombstone-a beautiful woman, elegant and radiant, her smile delicate and full of life.
She knelt and gently wiped the snow from the headstone, her tears falling silently.
Her fingers brushed the carved image with reverence.
“Mom. Mom… Mom, Mom… I haven’t called you that in so long. So I’m going to say it over and over p>
“Mom, I’m back. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to come visit. I’ve been unfilial. In my last life, I wasted everything. You must’ve been so disappointed in me. But somehow… I got a second chance. And I believe it was you-watching over me-who gave it to me. So dont worry, I will take back everything that belongs to us. And I’ll make the people who hurt us regret they were ever born p>
