She had always felt that Tiana Thorne bore a seven-point resemblance to her, especially those fox-like eyes, as though carved from the same mold, captivating all who saw her smile.

She used to believe that her own beauty was unmatched in the world, that only her biological daughter could have such a visage.

But alas...

Poppy passed away before her first month was over, leaving no one behind who resembled her.

When Tiana suddenly appeared, she felt resistant.

Only her daughter, her mother, could have such a likeness in this world.

Her resistance made her subconsciously dislike Tiana Thorne.

Now, after spending more time together, she found herself enchanted by the resemblance, as if her daughter were still alive, right there beside her.

Yet she knew, Tiana Thorne was not her daughter; in this world, many look alike, even in the entertainment industry, there are stars with nine-point likenesses.

She had never doubted her daughter’s life or death; back then, it was Old Ford who had personally identified the body, conducted the cremation, and handled the burial...

Every year, on Poppy’s death anniversary, she would go.

Tiana’s appearance might be fate, not her daughter, but if she could be her daughter-in-law, that would be fine.

Since she, Rouge Jarvis, had chosen her as her daughter-in-law, she would not let anyone harm her.

...

The next day.

When Tiana Thorne woke up, she felt as though she had died; her whole body ached terribly, her head was still dizzy, but it was much better than the searing pain of the previous night’s inferno.

As she moved, her fingers touched Rouge Jarvis’s hand.

Slightly startled, she turned her head to look at her.

She saw Rouge Jarvis, asleep at her bedside.

Her heart moved.

Mother had taken care of her the whole night.

She picked up the small blanket on the bed and spread it over her back, intending to let her sleep a while longer.

Just after covering her, she woke up, her bloodshot fox-like eyes showing exhaustion.

She withdrew her hand, "Ms. Jarvis, did I wake you?"

"It’s alright."

She moved and realized a small blanket was on her, took it off, and rubbed her eyes, "Feeling better now?"

"Yeah, much better."

Only then did Rouge Jarvis get up and head to the restroom.

After freshening up, she quickly came back to her side, offering her a disposable oral hygiene set, "I’ll call Dr. Garrison to come and check you later."

Then, she looked up at Rouge Jarvis and asked, "Do you want to go back and sleep for a bit?"

"I’ll nap on the sofa at noon."

Seeing her weary appearance, Tiana Thorne felt some compassion. She didn’t remember last night’s events clearly, only that she was very ill, so she softly said, "Um... thank you."

She wasn’t someone who easily expressed emotions, but she truly felt grateful.

Without knowing she was her daughter, taking such care, Ms. Jarvis truly was a good person.

"Last night, I confirmed with Chloe Vance again, you can be discharged tomorrow morning, how about I take you back to the Thorne family?"

Tiana Thorne was slightly stunned; though her face showed no change, her heart was puzzled. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wasn’t the plan to take me to the Ford family’s old residence?"

"Last night, I heard you kept calling for your mother."

Tiana Thorne: "..."

Rouge Jarvis spoke earnestly, "You’ve been away from home for a while, if you miss her, I’ll take you back to the Thorne family. I know, a biological mother always takes better care than a future mother-in-law."

Tiana Thorne looked at her.

She was right, a biological mother is always the most caring and warm person. But what she didn’t realize was that she herself was Tiana Thorne’s biological mother~
