All Chapters of Mom Finally Loved Me, But I had Forgotten Who She Was: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

When I entered the living room, Mom was warmly embracing Tara and speaking to her softly. When they noticed me, Mom’s smile instantly faded. "Gosh Serena, you did that on purpose! If you weren’t coming, fine. But now, coming here an hour late and making it awkward for everyone else?" In truth, I hadn’t meant to. I had simply woken up to find it was already so late in the day. But I knew Mom wouldn’t believe me, and I couldn’t be bothered to explain. "If I come back later, wouldn't that just make it easier for you to avoid seeing me?" I said."You!" My mom hissed. I gave her a mocking smile. "Aren't I so well-behaved and obedient?" I asked sarcastically.I had once tried to be dutiful but no matter what I did, Mom always thought I was scheming or trying to steal attention from Tara. So I thought, I may as well face her head-on. Tara lowered her head."Aunt Margaret, Serena, please stop fighting. It’s all my fault. You two are a family, I shouldn’t be here." Tar

The original timeline for the project was 20 days, and Mom had even extended it by another 10.Of course, she’d never make things difficult for Tara. That privilege was reserved solely for me. After that incident, Tara didn’t trouble me again, and I gradually handed over my responsibilities to other colleagues. Meanwhile, my illness started taking a visible toll on me. I became increasingly drowsy, often losing half the day in a daze. I thought everything would progress smoothly until I officially resigned. But on the day of the project presentation, Tara’s PowerPoint was embarrassingly crude. She turned to me, her face a mask of panic. “Serena! This isn’t the presentation I told you to prepare! Why did you switch it?” So, this was her game all along. Mom, seated at the head of the table, immediately bristled with anger. Her voice thundered across the room. “All of you, follow me to my office!” The moment the door closed, she rained down her accusations on me witho

But now, nearly a month had passed, and Serena still hadn’t returned.She had never been gone for so long before.A sudden wave of panic surged in Margaret’s heart as if she were about to lose something important. She quickly suppressed it.Ha, how could she be intimidated by Serena?That kind of troublemaker would only bring harm to the family. Why would anything happen to her?She couldn’t possibly go to Serena, begging for her forgiveness. If she did, Serena would become even more unmanageable.Another half month passed, but Serena didn’t soften as Margaret had expected. She didn’t return, nor did she even leave a trace of news.Although Margaret didn’t want to admit it, she was starting to feel uneasy.Yet, she refused to humble herself by seeking reconciliation. Instead, she subtly inquired about Serena’s whereabouts.That’s when she realized that if Serena didn’t come to her, Margaret had no way of contacting her. She had no idea who Serena’s friends were, where she li

While urging her people to find her daughter, Margaret went to the hospital where Serena had been diagnosed and inquired about her condition. "Miss Serena has a rare tumor with a very low survival rate. However, with proper treatment, she may live for over a year. "The problem is that her will to live is weak. When she was diagnosed, she didn’t show any sadness or distress. In fact, she seemed somewhat relieved. "She hasn't come back for any treatment since. As her relative, if you can, please try to encourage her to return for medical care. Life is precious after all."…Margaret listened to the doctor’s words, her mind in turmoil. Serena really didn’t want to live anymore. When she had once said she wanted to die, perhaps it had never been just a tantrum. And the last time Margaret had seen Serena, she had coldly told her to die if she was sick. She had gradually destroyed her daughter’s will to survive. She was a terrible mother. When Margaret stumbled back home

After Serena's death, they buried her according to her last wishes at a picturesque cemetery at the foot of the mountain. Once everything was done, Margaret completely broke. She moved into the courtyard where Serena had once lived and refused to eat or drink. She suffered from sleepless nights and would sit in the same reclining chair Serena had sat in, often for the entire day, crying and laughing uncontrollably."So…It feels like this, being abandoned by someone," she would murmur to herself."I want to join her down there, but she probably doesn’t want to see me. In her heart, her parents died when she was ten," Margaret whispered, her voice breaking. "Do you think, when we meet down there she’ll recognize me?"Her will to live faded at an alarming rate, and Collin had no choice but to drag his wife to the hospital for a glucose infusion. But once they left the hospital, Margaret returned to her old ways, refusing to eat or drink.Then, one day, a man named Sebastian Bl
