Chapter 340 Cecily, It's Me, Your Mom
The doctor hadn't spoken yet when Darian glanced over. He had greeted the doctor earlier, and the doctor cooperatively said, "Miss Cecily, as long as you stay calm and cooperate with the treatment, your eyes will eventually get better."
Cecily listened to the doctor's brief response and knew that the doctor couldn't give a specific time for her recovery; it mainly depended on her own recovery process.
Cecily didn't make things difficult for the doctor. "I will, thank you."
"Your temperature has come down. Make sure to rest and eat nutritious food recently," the doctor advised.
"Okay, I understand."
Cecily turned her head toward Darian and said, "Darian, did you hear that?"
Her temperature had come down.
Darian helplessly rubbed his forehead and looked at the doctor. "Can she go out in her current condition?"
The doctor thought for a moment. "If she doesn't feel uncomfortable, she can go out and get some sunlight, but she must avoid strenuous activities."
"I understand, thank you, doctor."
Cecily patted Darian's hand, and Darian helplessly held her hand in his palm.
"Now you have no reason to stop me from going out, right?"
Darian sighed. "The banquet is in the evening; I'll take you out in the afternoon."
"Okay." Cecily smiled.
"By the way, I haven't called Rowan and Griffin yet. They must be worried sick. Can I borrow your phone to call them?"
"I already messaged them last night. They know you're safe. Let's finish breakfast first, and then you can call them."
Cecily sat up. "Then I'll go freshen up first."
"Don't move." Darian bent down and easily carried her to the bathroom.
Cecily didn't refuse. She found it difficult to take care of herself now and, indeed, needed Darian's help.
Cecily suddenly smiled. "Darian, will you despise me if I never regain my sight?"
"I won't despise you, and you won't be blind forever. Don't say such things." Darian squeezed the toothpaste and handed it to her.
Cecily heard the displeasure in his voice and muttered, "I was just saying. It's not like I won't get better. Why are you so sensitive?"
"Don't say such things."
"Okay, I won't say it anymore."
Cecily focused on brushing her teeth and stopped talking to him.
After freshening up and having breakfast, Cecily took Darian's phone and called Rowan and Griffin.
They seemed terrified this time, secretly wiping their tears on the other end of the line, thinking she didn't notice.
Cecily comforted them for a long time, and eventually, she felt sad, too.
Vivienne's welcome banquet was held in a hotel ballroom, attended by prominent figures from various fields.
When they saw the invitation, Hunter and Keaen only found out that Vivienne had returned. Vivienne knew they liked to stir things up behind the scenes and deliberately guarded against them.
Vivienne's plan to hold a banquet caught them off guard, making them laugh in anger.
Eliza had already arrived at the hotel. The banquet was nominally hosted by her for Vivienne, so she had to come early to handle many things.
At this moment, she kept dialing Matthias's phone, but none of the calls were answered. She didn't know what had happened and couldn't stop feeling anxious.
"Damn it, what is that useless man up to?" She pressed the phone again and dialed another number.
Eliza paced back and forth on the marble floor, having already prepared for the worst.
That was Matthias had been caught.
If Matthias had indeed been caught, it meant Cecily had been found.
As soon as this thought came up, Eliza immediately dismissed it.
No way.
That place was hidden and remote, with mountains connected to mountains. Without a specific location, it was impossible to find anyone. Cecily didn't have a phone to send messages, so they couldn't have found her so quickly.
"No way, it must be Matthias messing up," she muttered to herself to calm down.
If Cecily had been found, it wouldn't be so quiet today. Darian would have come to her already.
Yes, that's how it was.
Eliza kept comforting herself, but she still couldn't calm her heart.
Matthias wasn't answering the phone, and she didn't know their current situation. This feeling made her terrified to the point of madness.
"Miss, the guests have arrived. Are you going out?"
Eliza was startled by the sudden voice at the door. She frowned. "Got it, I'm going now."
"The master just sent a message saying he will be late and asked you to handle things first."
"Okay."
Eliza put down her phone and took a deep breath. She had no way back at this point and could only wait and see.
She looked at herself in the mirror. She had deliberately chosen a dress that exposed her arms today.
Previously, Sandra had identified her scarred hand as evidence of Eliza's plastic surgery. This scar had become a mark to distinguish her from Cecily, so she had to show it openly.
Many people were waiting to see the final result back then, but now, standing beside Vivienne and being recognized as Ms. Bennett was still her.
Eliza straightened her back and walked out.
At this moment, the Bennett family.
Cecily held Darian's hand and followed him into the Bennett family.
She walked with varying speeds, both eager and hesitant. She clutched Darian's arm tightly and asked many times, "Darian, is my mother really back?"
"Yes, you'll see her soon." Darian patiently answered her.
Cecily's heart kept racing. She feared it was all a dream and it would be a disappointment when she woke up.
She hadn't seen her mother since she was fifteen, and now she was twenty-eight.
Thirteen years.
In those thirteen years, she had searched for her mother for many years.
The Watson family often told her that her mother was dead.
Cecily believed it for a while until Desmond found her and brought her back to the Bennett family. That time, she had hope again, but it was a disappointment.
This time, Darian firmly told her that her mother had really returned.
Cecily felt everything was unreal.
"Cecily?" A familiar yet strange voice sounded.
Cecily stood still, extremely nervous, and turned her head toward the voice.
Vivienne's eyes sparkled as she looked at the person standing not far away, her only daughter.
Cecily hesitated for a moment, then tentatively reached out her hand, suspended in mid-air.
The next moment, a warm hand firmly grasped hers.
The real touch made Cecily feel her chest filled with complex emotions.
Her lips trembled. "Mom, is it you?"
Vivienne looked at Cecily, whose eyes were still bandaged, covered her mouth, and couldn't help but cry.
Her daughter if it weren't for her, her daughter wouldn't have suffered so much.
During this time, she had sent people to find out how Cecily had endured these years.
The Watson family didn't love her and abandoned her. After marrying into the Fitzgerald family, her husband didn't love her. She endured all of Owen's hatred, and now, because of past events, she was blinded by Eliza.
She had thought that by leaving, her daughter would be safe. She had been too naive and had harmed her.
Her poor daughter hadn't had a good day in these thirteen years. It was her fault, bringing endless harm to her.
Vivienne was in immense pain at this moment.
"Cecily, it's me. I'm your mom."
