Chapter 623 Find True Love
Stefan raised his eyebrows slightly, took a step back, and handed the medicine to Martha.
Martha froze for a moment, her face full of unwillingness.
But on second thought, it was rare for Stefan to prepare a mysterious gift for her, so it was okay for her
to take it.
For the gift, taking medicine was just a small sacrifice!
Thinking of that, Martha showed a somewhat determined look on her face, reached out and took the
medicine from Stefan, closed her eyes, and gulped it down.
Just when she finished and was about to cry out, someone suddenly stuffed a round candy into her
lips.
She opened her mouth subconsciously, and the candy was sent into her mouth by Stefan.
The sweet taste immediately filled her mouth, causing the smell of medicine in her mouth to dissipate a
lot.
After Martha regained her composure, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the latter
expectantly.
Stefan curled his lips, and glanced sideways at Jimmy who had been looking at them.
"Come over."
Jimmy saw Daddy waving at him, and walked over.
He thought that it was rare for Mommy to still laugh so happily after taking medicine, there must be
something good going on.
But who knows, just as he walked over, Stefan stuffed the candy wrapper into his hand and asked him
to throw it into dustbin.
Then, Stefan reached out and took Martha by the hand, turned around and walked into the room,
leaving Jimmy standing there alone.
After the two walked away, Jimmy came back to his senses and looked at the candy wrapper in his
hand with a bitter face.
He had thought Daddy called him over because Daddy had some good news for him.
But the result was really disappointing.
Sure enough, Daddy and Mommy were together because of true love, and he was just the result of
unexpected pregnancy.
...
In the room.
Martha watched the man close the door mysteriously, and her doubts became more.
He was always in her sight these days, how could he have time to prepare a gift?
Could it be an excuse to trick her into taking medicine?
With that thought in her mind, she asked cautiously, "Is it a lie to make me take medicine?"
Hearing that, Stefan frowned slightly, and asked with a chuckle.
"I am such a man in your mind?"
Martha felt somewhat guilty when she looked at Stefan, but she continued this topic.
"Where is my gift?"
"Wait."
Then Stefan turned and walked towards the desk not far away, and opened the drawer.
He took out a wrapped gift box from the drawer, turned around and walked towards Martha step by
step.
"Open to take a look."
She couldn't wait to open the packing bag, and after seeing the contents in the box, she froze in place.
She stared at the photos in the box with sour eyes, followed by a smile on her lips.
The person in the photos was her mother, wearing Z Country's dress, looking at her with a big smile on
her face.
Stefan reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Martha's eyes, and pulled her to sit
on the sofa.
As soon as Martha sat down, she couldn't wait to take out a small stack of photos in the box.
The photos were all about her mother, standing or sitting, with an elegant and calm posture, which
made people aware of how gorgeous the eldest daughter of the Lucas family was back then.
Martha took a photo, stretched out her hand to gently caress the person in the photo, tears fell drop by
drop on the photo.
She still remembered that when she was a child, her mother always took good care of her.
Even if she did something wrong, her mother would tell her why she was wrong and why she couldn't
do that in a soft voice.
But later, her mother died in the sea trying to save Hollie.
The mastermind behind this incident was the fake old Mrs. Lucas.
If it wasn't for that fake, her mother wouldn't have died...
Seeing Martha crying, Stefan didn't try to comfort her. Instead, he handed her a tissue.
After Martha vented his discomfort, he reached out and hugged her gently.
"Okay, it's in the past, and the mastermind behind the scenes has also been punished as it should be."
"But my mother will never come back."novelbin
Martha buried her head in Stefan's arms, and couldn't help crying.
The man patted her on the back again and again, and said distressedly, "If my mother-in-law saw how
sad you were, she would feel so bad."
Martha wiped her eyes, yet the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing out.
Stefan reached out and touched her head lightly, "If I knew you would be so sad, I wouldn't have given
you these photos."
"You dare!"
Martha pushed the man away, glaring at him angrily.
Those were photos of her mother. How dare this man keep them from her!
Seeing her angry look, he said helplessly, "I don't dare."
"Humph."
Martha snorted, and looked at the photos in her hand with gentle eyes.
After looking at them for a long time, she carefully put these photos back into the box one by one.
After closing the box, Martha looked at Stefan suspiciously, and asked a question.
"Where did you get these photos of my mother?"
"Catherine gave them to me." Stefan gave the answer in a deep voice, and his meeting with Catherine
in Z Country unconsciously appeared in his mind.
He was shocked to learn that his mother was Catherine.
But he still didn't have much affection for Catherine, after all, Catherine had never played a role of
mother in his life before they met.
However, he knew clearly how deep Catherine's feelings for him were.
So in order to fulfill his due obligations, he chose to go to the royal palace to meet her after he came to
Z Country.
When he went to the royal palace that day, she was obviously very happy, and the smile on her face
never disappeared.
She prepared a lot of food for him, looked at him expectantly and apprehensively and said, "I made it
by myself, have a try."
Stefan looked at her with complicated emotions, yet he couldn't bear to let her down.
He picked up some food and tasted it, then his eyes widened, and he said softly, "It's delicious."
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
Stefan, the only son she had with her beloved, meant a lot to her.
But she was absent from a large part of his life, and in the future, as the queen dowager of Z Country,
she couldn't always be by his side.
So she knew that they couldn't spend much time together.
Sophisticated as Stefan, he naturally understood this point, so he came to accompany his biological
mother.
At the dinner table, the mother and son were chatting and laughing, not like the mother and son who
hadn't seen each other for many years.
Later, after dinner, Catherine pulled Stefan into her bedroom.
She smiled kindly, and the look in her eyes was full of complex.
"You wait here. I have something for you."
"All right." Stefan responded in a low voice, standing still.
Soon, Catherine came over with a stack of things and put them on the table.
The man looked at the old cloth bag on the table, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"
Catherine smiled very gently, as if all the hatred in the past disappeared at this moment.
"Inside are Elsie's photos. Take them to Martha."
Catherine once hated Elsie very much, for Elsie ran away from marriage. If it wasn't for Elsie's running
away, she wouldn't have experienced so many painful things.
But now, she understood that Elsie had her own reasons for escaping marriage.
The tragedy of her life was not caused by Elsie, but by human desires.
If her parents hadn't insisted on letting her marry the king to raise the Hopper family's status to a higher
level, the matter would not have reached that point.
But her parents had raised her for more than twenty years, and she had no reason to hate them, so
she chose not to see them.
And this man in front of her was her long-lost child. He loved Elsie's daughter deeply, so she was
willing to try to let go of the past grudges and prevent the tragedy from happening again.
Stefan froze, looking at Catherine with obvious shock.
"Where did you get the photos?"
Catherine smiled elegantly.
"The eldest daughter of the Lucas family was famous in Z Country. She was so gorgeous, and her
photos can be seen everywhere. And it's not surprising that I collected a few."
When she was young, she had envied Elsie deeply.
She envied Elsie, for Elsie could live freely and casually, and she longed to be that kind of person.
But later, she met her beloved man. She no longer envied Elsie, but was full of longing for a happy life
with him.
But in the end, her wish failed to come true.
Now that she was old, she only hoped that her two sons could find someone they love and spend their
lives safely and happily.
Stefan could feel Catherine's distress, and he stepped forward, taking her in his arms for the first time.
"Thank you."
He knew that Catherine gave him these photos in the hope that he and Martha could have a happy life
together.
She used to be so envious that the two people who loved each other could live their lives together, but
now she hoped so much for her sons to live happily ever after.
In the end, Martha's puzzled voice sounded in the room, interrupting Stefan's thoughts, "Why did she
give you these?"
