Chapter 1111 Your Dad and I Were So Worried
After three days of returning, Evelyn had sorted out all her emotions and finally decided to meet the people she
should have met long ago.
Her first destination was the residence of Ben and Lucy, where she had lost some memories, but it didn't affect her
feelings for the elderly couple much.
The car stopped outside the Hub Apartment, and from the moment they got off, Huston held her hand. The old
residential building had no elevator, so they climbed up to the fifth floor. Standing in front of the familiar door, she
hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the doorbell.
Even before the door opened, Alivia heard Lucy's anxious voice from inside, "Who is it? Coming."

widened, the familiar figure gradually appeared in her sight.
They hadn't informed Lucy in advance about their visit, fearing she might change her mind during the journey, so
as not to disturb the elderly couple.
Now, inside and outside the door, their eyes met. Evelyn looked at the few months that had passed, causing Lucy's
hair to turn white. Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant, "Mom..."
Hearing her calling, Lucy seemed to finally believe that the person in front of her was not an illusion.
She stood still in a daze until Evelyn came forward and embraced her. Only then did she dare to believe that this
was not a figment of her imagination.
"Evelyn?" She seemed unable to believe it, raising her hand to tightly hug her daughter, patting her back with her
hands that had calloused over time, "Why did you come back so late? Your father and I were so worried..."
"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry..." Tears fell uncontrollably. Apart from apologizing, she didn't know what else to say.
Ben, who had been inside the house, also rushed to the door when he heard the sound. Seeing the mother and
daughter embracing and weeping, even this man, who was not good at expressing himself, couldn't help but wipe
away a tear discreetly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
"Come in quickly, let Mom have a good look at you," Lucy said as she pulled Alivia into the house.
Inside the living room, everything was just as she had remembered. Evelyn felt a bit more at ease in her heart.
Sitting on the sofa, holding the coffee handed to her by Lucy, she began to open up and talk to her from her heart.
"You've been away for so long, and you rarely call or text. What have you been doing all this time?" A mother
couldn't help but worry, even though her daughter was now right in front of her. She anxiously asked one question
after another.
Fortunately, before coming here, Huston had already told her how to handle such questions.

Alivia wasn't good at lying, even if it was a well-intention lie. When faced with Lucy's deeply aged eyes, it would
make her feel extremely guilty.
So, when she said this, she deliberately avoided Lucy's eyes and lowered her head, taking a sip of the coffee in her
cup, "We were investigating a case involving cross-border smuggling. There are some details that I can't disclose
due to the requirements from higher authorities. During this time, contact also needed permission, so it's not that I
didn't want to get in touch, but there were restrictions I had to follow."
"Cross-border smuggling case?" Lucy's face changed after hearing this, "Isn't that very dangerous? Evelyn, you're a
mother now, no longer the person you were before. Whatever you do, you have to consider your family and child.
This..."
Evelyn knew what she wanted to say, and she put down the cup in her hand, reaching out to cover Lucy's dry and
wrinkled hands, "Mom, I know. I promise this will be the last time. I won't do it again, okay?"
