Chapter 372 "Mom, chere." Elliot, with a mask on, took Elysia's hand and led her back inside.
Tarquin tried to follow them, but Elliot stopped him, "Wait out here!" Tarquin was left standing at the door as Elliot brought Elysia into the house.
He guided Elysia to the study, first making her sip swarm tea to calm down, then handed her a pill. Elysia was confused, "I'm not sick, Elliot. What's this for?" "Just take it, Mom. We need to talk." Elliot knew his mom's mental fortitude well; he wouldn't dare to tell her the truth without preparing her first! Even though puzzled, Elysia trusted her son and swallowed the pill.

I know why you suddenly wanted to leave today, and I also know that the man outside is my dad." Elysia leapt up, shock written all over her face, "Who told you that?!" Elliot gently pulled her back down, fibbing, "I accidentally overheard you talking to Blossom about the past. That's how I found out." Elysia panicked, "Elliot, I'm sorry, I... I lied to you. Your dad... he isn't dead. He's..." "It's okay, Mom. You did nothing wrong." Elliot cut her off, then added, "He's just biologically related to us. We don't like him. We only love you, Mom." Hearing this seemed to ease Elysia's anxiety. She tentatively asked, "What else do you know?" Elliot carefully chose his words, "I also found out about how six years ago, at the airport, he wronged you by accident, and then you were vilified, before moving to the countryside to live through tough times while pregnant with us." Mentioning the past choked Elysia up.
Before she could speak, Elliot looked at her tenderly and said, "Mom, you've worked so hard these years." Hearing her son acknowledge her hardships broke Elysia's defenses.
All the suffering and hardships seemed worth it at that moment! What could be more touching for a mother than hearing, "Mom, you've worked hard"? "Mom didn't have it tough, not at all. If anyone has, it's you... Stuck with such a foolish, incapable mom. You started facing difficulties right from when you were in my womb. You didn't get to taste anything good, which is why you were all so tiny and skinny when you were born..." Recalling the first tshe saw her children, tears began to fall from Elysia's eyes.
They were so tiny, looking malnourished like little refugees, a clear sign of nutritional deficiency.
Being pregnant with triplets meant they were bound to be smaller, but her lack of nutritional intake during pregnancy, coupled with her constant hard work to earn money, resulted in the babies being born small and frail, their skin wrinkly, resembling little old men.
Elliot, ever so understanding, wiped her tears away, "We weren't suffering. We're happy, Mom. We're lucky to have you as our mom." Elysia sobbed uncontrollably, "I'm the lucky one. Thank you for being my sons..." In that moment, Elliot seemed more the parent, and Elysia, the child.
Elliot's eyes were merely red, but Elysia had already beca mess of tears.
As he gently wiped her tears, he reassured,

After she calmed down a bit, Elliot brought up Elijah,
"I also heard your conversation with Elijah's dad earlier. He r. He wasn't dying.
You really are Elijah's biological mother." Elysia's eyes widened in shock again, "How can that be?!"
"It's true, Mom. You don't believe him, but you believe me, right? I wouldn't this..
lie about something this serious. Elijah has already done a paternity test."
