Chapter 159 If I had known what you would go through , I wouldve kept you by my side , never letting you stray even a step away from me .
But Noelle , as hard as those years were for you , they werent any easier for me .
You once nearly became a mother yourself .
Surely , you can understand the love a mother has for her child , cant you ? Tears streamed down Matildas face .
Noelle stared at her for a long moment .
Just say it .
What is it that you want from me ? Her voice was unnervingly calm .
It was clear she refused to pay along with Matildas charade .
Matilda looked up at her in disbelief .
H How could you speak to your own mother like that ? Did I guess wrong ? Noelle smiled faintly .
If this isnt about anything , thats even better .
Ill be on my way , then .
Seeing Noelle actually stand to leave , Matilda couldnt hold back any longer .
Wait ! It was exactly as Noelle had expected .
She didnt respond right away .
Instead , she turned and looked at Matilda with mockery in her eyes .
Matilda hesitated , seemingly well aware of how difficult het request was to voice .
After a brief pause , she finally asked , Do you know what illness I have ? No.
I have acute kidney failure , Matilda said softly .
The doctor told me its serious , and the only hope for a cure is a kidney transplant .
The moment Noelle heard those words , her expression instantly went blank .

She had never truly believed that a persons mindset could completely change in just a matter of days .
Even so , it would be a lie to say she wasnt stirred by Matildas words .
For a brief moment , she actually believed that she might finally receive the understanding she had longed for from her biological mother .
But now , it was clear she had been completely wrong .
That whole heart to heart conversation ? It had all been a setup , a ploy to get her to help with the matching process .
Noelle tightened her fists even more as she stared at Matilda .
Then , unexpectedly , a cold laugh escaped her lips .
She really did find it all absurd , Noelle , I know you must feel wronged.
But dont worry .
If the match is successful , your father and I will do everything we can to compensate you .
Compensate me ? How exactly do you plan to compensate me ? Are you going to hand over the company ? Matilda had prepared her response , but she hadnt anticipated Noelle starting the negotiation with such a demand .
She immediately frowned , and her voice was tinged with displeasure when she replied , Your father is still around , so how can we possibly hand the company over to you ? Oh ? So , youre unwilling ? Noelle smiled .
Then , theres no need for further conversation .
I only came here to see you .
Now that thats done , Ill take my leave .
With that , Noelle turned around , but before she could take step , Matildas frantic voice rang out , Noelle , I am your mother ! Are you really going to just stand there and watch me die like this ?
