Mama Katz would forever carry the name of a murderer’s wife.
Lucy Katz would also be the daughter of a murderer.
It was clear that her so-called father never did his duty to them.
That man and herself did not even have any blood relation at all.
Lucy did not want any remnants of this man to stain her and her mother.
It was not that she was heartless, but when she thought of what Fourth Cecil had done to herself and her mother over the years, she felt that it was too revolting to die with his name.
Therefore, she had to resolve this matter.
Mama Katz’s health had improved significantly after this period of postoperative treatment.
After the surgery and under the doctors' attentive care, the wound healed quickly.
When Lucy spoke to her mother on the phone this morning, she even heard a bit of youthfulness in her middle-aged voice.
Even the doctor said that she was in pretty good shape now.
As long as she did not get too agitated, did not get overworked, and go back regularly for checkups, then she would be fine.
This was certainly good news for Lucy.
After all, over the years, she and her mother had been dependent on each other. Her mother was practically her whole life.
It was just that now, there was Joel as well.
However, that did not mean that her mother was not as important to her.
On the contrary, her mother was even more important now.
As she thought of this, Lucy suddenly realized a problem.
Her relationship with Joel was in such haste that even obtaining their marriage certificate was pulled off in such a dramatic way, so the fact that she and Joel got married was something that Mama Katz was not aware of.
If Mama Katz knew that her daughter got married and kept her in the dark, she would be furious.
It was not that Lucy was afraid her mother would be angry, she was just afraid that because her mother just finished her surgery, her body could not take the anger.
As Lucy thought of this, she could not help but blame herself a little.
It was all her fault. She was so busy during this time that she forgot to tell her mother about it.
It would be troublesome to explain it now.
At that time, Lucy did not know that Mama Katz had always thought of Joel as her rightful son-in-law.
The old lady had lived for so many years and her eyes were very sharp.
Since the last time Joel helped her with the hospital transfer, judging by his interaction with Lucy in the hospital, Mama Katz had already figured something was going on.
It was just that Lucy refused to admit it at the time, and Mama Katz being a parent, could not blindly meddle in the youngster’s affairs.
Lest the more she helped, the messier it would be. In the end, things would not get done and might even lead to a deeper misunderstanding. That would not be good.
Therefore, Mama Katz held back from saying anything.
Due to this, the mother-daughter pair fell into a strange circle of lull and guilt for each other.
The good news was that Lucy returned to China quickly.
The day after she returned was the day that Mama Katz was discharged from the hospital.
Joel knew the date of Mama Katz’s discharge and had already arranged for several maids and nursing staff to be at Orchid Villa.
Whenever Mama Katz returned, they would come over.
On that day, Lucy had specially gone to the hospital to pick her mother up.
Mama Katz had not seen Lucy for a long time, and needless to say, once she saw her daughter, she kissed and hugged her.
The mother-daughter pair were delighted.
Lucy was afraid that if her mother was too happy, it would lead to too much excitement and affect her health.
Therefore, after a while, Lucy excused herself to fill out the discharge papers.
The maids had already received the news and were waiting at the door.
It was also Lucy’s first time seeing these maids.
Since she did not live here before, they were not scheduled to come over.
They only knew now that the housekeeper was called Aunt Moon. Several maids were responsible for cooking as well as attending to Mama Katz. There were also a few others who were responsible for cleaning.
When they saw Mama Katz, they all bowed in a very disciplined manner and greeted in unison.
"Hello, Old Madam."
Mama Katz was shocked by this gesture and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"Hello to you all."
At the same time, she secretly tugged on Lucy’s shirt corner.
"Ah, Lucy! When did you buy such a big villa? It's also expensive to hire so many servants! It’s only the two of us, why do we need so many people to serve us?"
Lucy smiled helplessly when she heard this.
Actually, she was not the one that hired them.
It was obvious that she did not even have a say in this and a certain someone had already arranged it all for her.
Lucy was not living alone anyway.
There was also Mama Katz, who had just finished her surgery. Lucy did not allow her mother to interfere in household chores for fear that she would get overworked, which was why she did not refuse when Joel hired so many maids.
After all, the villa was so big and needed people to take care of it.
She thought about it and explained, "Mom, go take a look and see if you like the villa. These people are in charge of all kinds of different jobs because the villa is so big. A few people won’t be able to handle all the tasks here. Let us know if you like the place."
Mama Katz nodded and walked inside with Lucy’s help.
In fact, when Joel bought this villa, he specially prepared it for the mother-daughter pair.
