Chapter 899: Chapter 519: Human Federation, 9th?_3
“Ellie, this fruit is really delicious, you should have one too.”
Ellie took the fruit from him, tasted it, and with a hint of warmth in her eyes, spoke to Logan.
“This is indeed quite good, crisp and sweet-sour, I actually quite like it.”
“If you like it, have some more, the fruit really does taste good.”
At that moment, Ellie served the last dish on the table and called out to Logan.
“My savior, dinner is ready, please don’t disdain it.”
...
Logan looked at the table, which, even though it didn’t have any exotic delicacies, appeared to have its own unique charm.
It smelled delicious, which showed that Ellie’s cooking skills were quite good.
“What do you mean I couldn’t eat it? Besides, it smells really great, the taste must be very good. I’m not picky, I can eat anything.”
Ellie got up to go into the house, helped her seriously ill mother to the table to eat, and said gently,
“Mother, this is my savior, he saved me twice. I am very grateful to him, so I invited him to stay for dinner.”
Her mother looked extremely kind and amiable, and with a slight smile, she said to Logan,
“Then I thank this young man. Our family doesn’t have much to offer in return, we can only invite you to have a meal, to express our feelings.”
Logan, however, was very open-minded and said, “I think you’re being too polite. Dinner is a great reward, I really wasn’t expecting anything.”
“But Ellie here, this young girl is very filial indeed, not only filial but also very polite. You truly have raised a good daughter.”
“Hahaha, you flatter us, but it’s true that Miss Ellie is very dutiful.”

The three of them chatted and ate together, and during the meal, Logan occasionally praised Ellie’s cooking.
But it wasn’t an empty compliment, it was indeed delicious.
Sometimes it even embarrassed Ellie, who would then humbly reply.
“It’s all just things I should be doing, nothing significant. You don’t need to mind it. On the other hand, you saved me from danger, I should be the one to properly thank you.”
“Thank you for saving me twice. I have nothing to repay you with but to invite you to dinner. You’re really too polite. This is what you rightly deserve, no need for you to be modest.”
Logan smiled gently, looking at Ellie as he spoke.
“Miss Cui Er, what’s wrong with your mother? Has she caught a cold? Or is there some other problem? She seems to be in poor health.”
At the mention of her mother, Ellie felt an immense pain in her heart because her mother had suffered a lot while taking care of her since she was young.
As a result, she had developed a chronic illness.
Every time winter came, her knees would hurt so much, and her body was no longer as robust as it used to be. Gradually, she had become used to lying in bed all year round.
Seeing her mother growing increasingly frail, the once vigorous strength and vitality fading away, Ellie felt as if her heart was being cut by knives. She remembered how, in her childhood, her mother had taken care of her meticulously, protecting her growth with endless patience and care. Her mother back then seemed to have boundless energy, always able to satisfy her needs and provide a warm haven for her.
Now Ellie had grown up, but her mother was afflicted with illness. Seeing her mother’s increasingly gaunt face filled Ellie with insurmountable guilt and self-reproach. She cared for her mother every day without a word of complaint, knowing it was her duty as a daughter and a way to express her deep gratitude.
Ellie often said to herself that if it weren’t for her mother’s careful nurturing, how could she have become who she was today? Despite their poverty, her mother had given her all to ensure a worry-free life for her. This profound motherly love made Ellie feel incredibly treasured and grateful. Even now, as her mother’s health declined, Ellie remained resolute in standing by her side, repaying her mother’s selfless love in her own way.
As this thought came to her, her eyes instantly moistened, and tears quietly gathered at the corners. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, but the deep emotions and enduring guilt made it impossible to compose herself.
“My mother… Her life has been all for me.” Her voice trembled slightly, filled with indescribable warmth and sorrow. Each word seemed wrung from the very depths of her heart, laden with endless gratitude and longing for her mother.
