Chapter 978 - As if relieved
"Then you never suspected him?"
Kiera was a little stunned, her gaze tinged with bewilderment and confusion.
"Why would I doubt him? Ian is so good to me, he's the best person in the world for me, there's no way
I would doubt him."
This innocent and naive look of hers gave Natalia a bit of a headache.
She sighed lightly helplessly, "Well, even if that's the case, then why are you avoiding me? Don't tell me
that this time you're in a hurry to leave and it's not because of me."
Kiera sniffed, as if the painstakingly hidden lie had been uncovered, and twisted her fingers a little
nervously.
"I ...... didn't mean to avoid you either, I was just scared ......"
"Scared?" Natalia raised an eyebrow, "What are you afraid of?"
"I ......" She was suddenly flustered, her eyes darting from side to side as if she was looking for
something.
Natalia knew that she was looking for Ian.
That man, now it's as if he's her backbone, can't leave within her sight, otherwise, she'll somehow get
nervous.
Although Natalia is not a doctor, but for this aspect of psychology, but also know some common sense.
She found that Kiera's current situation was much like a traumatic stress reaction.
She had been hurt badly, and in that hurt, the person she trusted most betrayed her and wanted her
dead.
Therefore, she was terrified, she was uneasy, even if she had lost all her memories after she woke up,
but that subconscious fear still stayed deep.
The person who saved her was Ian.
Just like a drowning person, suddenly grabbed a straw, will take him as the only sunshine in life, dead
tug refused to let go.
Everything around her is strange and unsettling to her, except Ian, the man who saved her life, who she
trusts and relies on.
Natalia was suddenly relieved.
So, what is one counting on?
As Archie said, in the middle of such a big accident, she survived, is already a gift from God to them.
What she needs to do is not to blame and complain, but she should cherish her, love her, and make up
for the ten years they did not have the opportunity to spend together.
A smile pulled up at the corners of Natalia's lips as she thought about it.
"Well, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."
She paused and asked tentatively, "Can I ...... come closer to you?"
Kiera froze and looked up, bewildered, at her.
Natalia moved her feet carefully, "Don't be afraid, I'm your daughter, I'm your family, I won't harm you,
just like your Ian, we both love you very much, so please don't worry, I just miss you a lot and want to
be closer to you, don't you hide from me, okay?"
Kiera stared at her blankly, perhaps because she understood her words, so although her body was
visible to the naked eye, she still insisted on standing still.
Natalia finally walked up to her.
She reached out her arms, wrapped them around Kiera's shoulders, and took her into her arms.
"Mom."
A word shouted out, tears have overflowed in the eyes.
Kiera stood there dumbfounded, and sensing Natalia's emotions, she too reached out and gently
wrapped her arms around her body.
"Mom, it's good that you're okay, over the years, I had countless dreams of you carrying me when I was
a child, I thought I would never see you again in this life, but now we can see each other again, I'm very
happy and grateful, I don't want to force you to remember those painful things, it doesn't matter if you
don't want to remember me, just count on me to beg you, Mom, don't hide from me anymore,. Is that
okay?"
Kiera was stunned, not knowing why, she couldn't remember anything, but her eyes were sore from
listening to Natalia's voice.
"Okay, I'm not avoiding you."
She spoke softly.
Natalia froze, surprised, and let go of her, holding her hand.
"Really? Mom, you promised me?"
By this time, Kiera had let her guard down, and although she wasn't able to get too close like Natalia,
she wasn't as repulsed as she had been at the beginning.
She smiled coyly and nodded.
Natalia was thrilled.
"Mom, I promise you that I will never bother you as long as it's when you don't feel like it, but if you're
upset about anything or if anyone bullies you, you have to tell me too, okay?"
Kiera smiled again, for a moment, before saying, "I'm fine, no one is bullying me."
Her kind and simple look is still exactly the same as ten years ago.
Natalia sighed helplessly.
"All right!"
She paused for a moment and then asked, "So where do you guys want to go next? Is it set?"
Kiera shook her head, "I'm not lying, we really haven't decided where we're going next, although ......
suddenly decided to leave, indeed because your presence made me feel some fear, I'm sorry Natalia, I
didn't mean it like that, I mean I wasn't afraid of you ......"
Kiera realized what was going on and suddenly tensed up, explaining in a sharp voice.
Natalia quickly interrupted her and said soothingly, "I know, you don't have to be nervous, I know you're
not afraid of me, you're just afraid that if I talk to you about the past, it will remind you of those painful
past too, isn't it?"
Kiera paused for a few seconds and nodded.
Natalia breathed a sigh of relief and softly reassured, "Don't be afraid and don't worry, since you don't
want to remember those, let's pretend that none of those things ever happened and no one will
mention them, okay?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Kiera then nodded again as if relieved.
Natalia smiled, "Since you haven't decided where to go, why don't you stay in Eqitin for two more
days? I don't believe you when you said you've been everywhere, I know a few good places that you
must not have been to, stay here for two more days and I'll show you around, okay?"
Kiera froze and seemed a little hesitant.
But she is a soft-hearted person in the end, Natalia just showed a pleading and reluctant look, she
immediately surrendered.
"Okay, I promise you."
Natalia then broke into a big smile.
At this moment, outside the parlor.
The three men stood there in silence.
Mr. Robinson is naturally embarrassed, although this side is his friend and the other side is possibly his
future business partner, to say the least, both know each other.
But after all, this is a family matter, he is an outsider, standing here there is always a very abrupt and
superfluous feeling.
But now there are only two people inside Kiera and Natalia, Ian and they are foreigners, the first time
they came to Eqitin, if you really leave them here and go, it is not good.
After all, although she is a biological mother and daughter, Kiera doesn't remember anything these
days.
