Chapter 1204
Eventually, Blake regained consciousness. She had suffered severe internal bleeding, and her
condition had been critical. If her injuries had been slightly more severe, she might not have survived.
Liam had stayed by her side at the hospital, aiding her recovery. He had not disclosed the full extent of
her injuries to her, wanting to shield her
from further trauma.
The sun shone brightly as Liam wheeled Blake outside to enjoy it.
Since waking up, she had not spoken a word, her usually lively and cheerful demeanor replaced by
silence, a change that weighed heavily
on Liam.
Kneeling in front of Blake, who looked pale and haggard, Liam gently rearranged her windblown hair.

about you not eating or talking.”
Blake hadn’t eaten the nutritious soup Liam prepared for her, prompting him to resort to feeding her
nutrient solutions. Her noticeable weight loss was a source of distress for Liam.
Suddenly, Blake’s gaze shifted. Following her line of sight, Liam saw Cecilia approaching with a
bouquet of flowers and gifts. As Cecilia drew near, Blake met her eyes silently through her sunglasses.
Finally, Blake spoke, “Ms. Samford. Sorry to disappoint you by not dying.”

“Let’s go, Liam. I don’t want to see her,” Blake said.
As Blake and Liam departed, Cecilia stood there, her bodyguards
picking up the discarded flowers. She had never felt so publicly
humiliated.
“Deliver these to her room, whether she accepts them or not,” Cecilia instructed her bodyguards.
“Yes, Ms. Samford,” they replied.
Left alone, Cecilia gazed at the wilted flowers in her hand, a symbol of
her failed attempt at reconciliation. She thought, ‘I’m sorry. I should have recognized you sooner. Your
actions, your words, they reminded me of when you were lost as a child. If I’d investigated your identity

The bellflowers had been Blake’s favorite since childhood, valued not
just for their beauty but also for their medicinal properties. Cecilia
remembered their days of collecting these flowers to sell when they
could not afford food, barely managing to scrape by. Most of their
meals consisted of scraps and wild vegetables. In winter, they
collected firewood to sell.
Blake used to follow Cecilia everywhere. Despite their difficult life, Cecilia found solace in Blake’s smile.
