CHAPTER 461 SAM’S MOTHER CALLED

"Of course!" Sam nodded.

Yvonne pursed her pale lips. "I’ll admit that I'm a little tempted, but I still can't say yes."

"Why?" Sam didn't understand.

Were his promises not enough for her?

Yvonne probably noticed what Sam was thinking, so she smiled bitterly and said, "A kind grandmother, loving parents, and a gentle brother. They're all great, but they don't belong to me, they belong to Shannon. Even though she has passed away, it’s like I'm taking her place and taking away everything that should've been hers."

"Do you really think so?" Sam smiled, "If you deliberately want to take those things away, and if you actually manage to take them all away, then you are intentionally taking her place. But we are giving you all of that voluntarily, so you're not trying to take her place. We're the ones who want to bring you into our world, understand?"

Yvonne didn't expect him to say that, but the wall of defense that she had built back up in her heart cracked again.

She gritted her teeth. "The reason why you all wanted me to be Shan in the first place was because of my face. But now that my face is ruined, I can't really

console Grandma and your parents anymore, so...

"Let’s not talk about Grandma now, but my mom first. She knew that your face was hurt because I told her about it. She felt very sorry for you because you and Shan look alike and now that Shan's gone, she doesn’t want to see another girl who resembles Shan gone too. You're worrying for no reason." Sam refuted Yvonne's words again.

Yvonne was still fighting for herself as she tried to refuse Sam’s offer for the last time. "But I have a kidney disease. Even if I become Shannon, I won't live for long, do you understand?"

"I sent your medical information to my father. My father has found a suitable kidney source for you. I wanted to tell you some time later to surprise you, but since you’ve mentioned it, then I won’t hide it from you." Sam smiled.

"You...you..." Yvonne was completely speechless.

For every excuse she could think of, he already had a reason to turn it down.

How could she refuse?

And what surprised her was that they had already found a kidney source for her. She could not fathom how they would do all of that for her!

Yvonne felt a lump in her throat and she started choking up so much that when she opened her mouth, her voice became even hoarser. "You don't need to do all that. I'm just a nobody to you. You didn't have to...'

"Because you're the second Shan God gave us," Sam said.

His words completely tore down the wall in Yvonne's heart, and she started to cry.

Sam stepped forward with a smile and gently hugged her in his arms. "Now, you should call me brother instead."

Yvonne was a little shy. She was sobbing and choking, so she didn't say anything.

Sam didn’t rush her either because he knew she needed time and he would gladly wait.

"It just so happens that your identity was annulled so I've asked my parents to arrange a new identity for you so that you can go abroad tomorrow. Starting today, Yvonne, you’re no longer Yvonne Frey, but Shannon Smith. Do you understand?" Sam asked her seriously.

Yvonne nodded quietly.

Sam nodded with satisfaction. "From now on, I’ll call you Shan. I’m going to call our parents now to arrange your identity."

"...Okay," Yvonne responded in a low voice.

Sam let go of her and went to the balcony with his phone.

As Yvonne sat on the hospital bed, she was still in a daze.

Things changed so quickly, and in just ten minutes, her identity had completely changed. She was no longer Yvonne-she was Shannon.

And from that moment on, Yvonne's identity had officially vanished from the world, and it was replaced by Shannon.

As she thought about it, Sam returned from the balcony with his mobile phone and said, "Shan, it's for you."

"Huh?" It took a while for Yvonne to realize that she was Shan.

She was not used to being called that.

"Pick it up, Mom wants to talk to you." Sam put the phone in her hand.

Yvonne immediately became nervous as if the phone i n her hand was like a time bomb, and she almost felt like throwing it away. "Talk...to me?"

"Yes."

"But I don't know what to say." Yvonne was too anxious.

She just agreed to become Shannon, and now Shannon's mother was about to talk to her. She felt a little nervous.

Sam understood her awkwardness and he smiled lightly, "It's okay, Mom’s very kind, just pick it up."

As Sam said that, he grabbed her hand and raised it u p to put it to her ear.

As soon as Yvonne was about to break away from his grasp, she heard a gentle voice with a hint of excitement from the other end of the phone call." Shan..."

When Yvonne heard that, she suddenly paused and said, "Mhm."

The female voice on the other end of the phone sounded even more excited. "It's Mom."

Mom...

Yvonne whispered in her heart what she thought was one of the most intimate words in the entire world, and it felt bittersweet.

Sam's mother did not hear her calling her mother. Although she was a little disappointed, she could understand. After smiling, her voice became softer." Shan, I've heard so much about you, and now we finally get to talk. Do you know how happy I am now?"

Yvonne still didn’t answer, but she was listening very carefully.

Sam’s mother didn't mind her silence, so she continued speaking.

After a long chat, the tension in Yvonne's heart gradually eased a little, and she started talking.

At the end of the call, before she hung up, she called her "Mom."

It made Sam's mother burst into tears with excitement, but even Yvonne was shocked.

Because she knew that by calling her "Mom,” it meant that she was part of the Smith family! 2 This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"What did Mom tell you?" Sam asked as he took the phone and looked at Yvonne who was in a daze.

Yvonne's face was flushed, but she was wrapped in bandages so she was not worried about someone seeing her. She whispered back, "Mom said she looks forward to meeting us."

"Yes, we’ll be able to meet her tomorrow. You should rest first. I'll go to the embassy to help verify your identity, apply for visas and other procedures," Sam said as he put away his mobile phone.

Yvonne knew that Sam had deliberately made an excuse to leave, so that she could have her own space t 0 digest the fact that she had just changed her identity. He could leave those procedures to other people after all, and he didn't need to go do all that by himself.

"Okay." Yvonne didn't expose him either, and she was very moved by his thoughtfulness.

Sam helped her lie down and tucked her in her blanket before turning around to leave.

Yvonne heard the sound of the door almost closing and she suddenly said, "Wait." "What's wrong?" Sam stood outside the door as he held the doorknob.

Yvonne gritted her teeth and mustered the courage to say, "It's nothing, I just want to tell you to be careful on the road, brother!"

Sam was shocked, and he looked at her with excitement in his eyes as he tried to understand her words. "What did you call me?"

"Brother!" Yvonne said again.

This time, she said it even louder.

Sam heard it clearly and his eyes turned a little red.' Okay, sister!"

"Be careful on the road!" Yvonne was blushing for calling Sam "brother,” so she hurriedly blurted out the same sentence again.

Sam could tell that she was shy, so he smiled softly and closed the door.

Yvonne heard his footsteps fade away and finally disappear. She felt like everything was so unreal, like she was walking in the clouds.

She actually had a family!

Moreover, Sam’s mother accepted her, but she didn't know whether Sam's father and the other people in the Smith's family would accept her.

Yvonne was anxious and nervous.
