"Who are you? Do I know you?" The aged woman turned to her. Most of the times, Jessica's mother was in a confused state. She was rarely conscious too. Although she didn't recognize Jessica, her condition was much better than how she usually was. Probably that was because she felt her daughter close to her. A mother could always feel her daughter.
"Jessica, it's Jessica! Mom, can't you recognize me? Come and touch me, it's me, Jessica!" Jessica reached out to hold her mother's hand and then pressed the old woman's hand on her face. The feeling of being unrecognized by her own mother overwhelmed her too much that her tears poured down her face.
"Jessica? No, you are not Jessica. You look different from my daughter. I'm not your mother. I'm afraid you are mistaken." Jessica's mother took a look at her with a pitiful expression. Then the old woman took her eyes off her and stared at the family portrait sitting on the bedside table. Her mother stopped reacting after that.
"Mom, I am your daughter! Take a closer look at me, please! I've just had surgery on my face. There is always something that won't change, right? Mom, please. Try it, try to recognize me, " explained Jessica with a choking voice. She turned her mother around to face her and tried to wake her up in a hurry. Everything she did appeared to be in vain though as her mother remained blank and caught in her own world. It looked like she wasn't coming back soon no matter how hard Jessica tried. She wasn't responding to her at all! Not even a blink nor a look.
"Why? Mom, can't you recognize your daughter? Why? What happened t banned by FX International Group. In that case, she could have still been the superstar under the camera and on the screen. She could have still remained as the perfect woman in men's hearts. However, her sorry wouldn't get her cousin back to where she had been anymore.
"Hey, it's nothing. We are still family no matter what happens, aren't we?" Coco smiled faintly. Gone was the proud and arrogant Coco that everyone remembered. She became much milder in both mind and behaviors. She realized many things after what she had gone through. She clearly figured out how to keep herself from hatred. Thus, she stopped fighting for things that did not belong to her. She accepted whatever life offered her such as her cousin. It was the reason why she decided to take care of her cousin's mother.
Jessica did not come back to Kate Hotel as soon as she left Coco's home. She drove to FX International Group instead. She decided to take her plan into action after seeing what her mother was like. Edward had already known her real identity anyway. There was no need to hide.
