Everything was fated. What Sabrina said was especially appropriate.
Mila smiled in relief. "That's right."
Sabrina hugged Yvonne and was extremely emotional. "I finally understood why you had to suffer like that, Yvonne. Everything, all of it, was for the sake of your condition. Thank heavens! Everything will be fine in the future. Everything will get better in the future. I will acknowledge you as Yvonne, and so will your parents and Marcus. In the future, you'll still be that sweet little princess."
Mila hugged Sabrina and cried like a child. "Sabrina, you've finally acknowledged me... I feel I'm already very, very lucky. I'm already very lucky that you're willing to acknowledge me."
Sabrina raised her hand and poked Mila's head. "You're not just very lucky. You're the luckiest silly girl in the whole wide world! Think about it. You've got a condition that only occurred in one out of a million and even maybe ten million people, and you're cured. Say, how lucky you are! We’re not the only ones doting on you. You're simply God's favorite. Yvonne, listen to me. None of the setbacks you've encountered mattered. How could someone not encounter setbacks in life? Everyone had to experience all sorts of things in life to not live in vain. Do you agree?"
Mila nodded her head aggressively. "Mm-hmm!"
Both of them hugged each other and they laughed after crying and cried after laughing.
It was after a while that Sabrina thought of something. "Yvonne, you should have been living quite a good life if you had the pair of middle-aged professors helping you. Why did you return?"
Once I thought of you, I would have the strength to continue down the path."
Mila glanced at Sabrina. "You might not have expected it, but after that middle-aged couple died, I started my long journey to return home. I did not have money on me, so I kept working odd jobs along the way.
Fortunately, I had a good foundation in Spanish, so I was able to communicate with others abroad. I kept begging for food, walking, and working for others along the way. It took me three months on foot to get to the northwestern region of our country."
"The northwestern region? How did you survive in that desolate place?" Sabrina asked with concern.
