She fought back tears and answered, "Your mother... she was a very gentle and kind person."
"She... was really good. And believe me... she actually loved you very much..."
"I know." Ben Lucas's restrained voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I know, she was good, she loved me... If it hadn't been for that accident, she wouldn't have left me."
His rare display of true emotion, while being mightily restrained, still let his trembling voice betray the longing for his deceased mother deep in his heart.
Lily clutched her lips tightly on the other end of the phone, already in tears, her condition was not much better than Ben Lucas's.
But now, she felt happy, very happy, incredibly happy!
She had never thought that one day, she would be able to hear Ben Lucas say those words to her.
"She was good, she loved me..."
In that moment, she truly did not regret her decision.
