âYou⦠How could you look like that?â George took a few steps back out of instinct.

He wasnât shocked because Lenneberg looked hideous or weird. In fact, she was actually very
beautiful. Having the finest of facial features, her skin was smoother than most women her age,
flawless and soft. Her eyes looked like crescent moons,curving up slightly. She didnât look old at all.
Those with high cultivation levels like hers had great longevity and could easily live a few millennia.
Thus she looked at most to be twenty eight.
However, George was mainly surprised that her face looked exactly like Maya. If he wasnât informed of
this womanâs identity, he wouldâve mistaken her as Maya herself.

âAre⦠Are you in disguise, or did you have plastic surgery?â George asked.
George
Alex
âThis is how I originally looked,â Lenneberg groaned grumpily. Georgeâs words would infuriate any
woman after all.
George
Alex
George asked, âSo, youâre Mayaâs⦠Twin sister?â
George
Alex
Lenneberg rolled her eyes. âIâm her mom!â
âHuh, mom?â
Lenneberg nodded gently. âHmph. And you should call me Mom because of your relationship with my
daughter.â
âI⦠You⦠Are you really Mayaâs mother? But Iâve never seen any daughter look exactly like her mom.
Humans arenât single-cell organisms.â
Lenneberg said, âMaya is indeed my daughter. Youâre a doctor. You should trust your own judgement.
Call Maya over, and youâll be able to tell our relationship.â
âWe look alike because my DNA is dominant. The martial art techniques of Snow Dragon Valley are
rather special. Thatâs why my children would look exactly like me.â
As George listened, his brows furrowed together slightly. âSo you came today to bring Maya away?â
George
Alex
âYes! Sheâs my daughter, I have the right to take her away.â
George shook his head. âShe might not want to leave with you.â
George
Alex
Lenneberg nodded. âThatâs why I came to beg you.â
âBeg me..?â
âShe listens to you. If you ask her to do so, sheâll leave with me.â
George said, âI wonât, and I canât! Even if youâre Mayaâs biological mother, youâve never taken care of
her. She knows nothing about you and has no actual relationship with you. She might not even
recognize you as her mother!â
George
Alex
Listening to Georgeâs words, Lennebergâs eyes reddened immediately. She then started crying in front
of George.

âUhmâ¦â George felt awkward. âMissâ¦â
George
Alex
âMiss? Iâm your mom!â Lenneberg glared at him and continued crying.
Things were getting tricky now.
âAlright then, Mom. Could you tell me what happened back then?â
âTo be honest, I donât know much about Mayaâs background. Every time I asked, she would switch the
topic. I think she must have some bad memories of her parentsâ¦â
âSo if you want to reunite with her, you canât just take her away like that. Youâll scare her, and I wonât
allow thatâ¦â
Lenneberg said, âWhat do you suggest I do then? You have to come up with something. I have no
other ideas.â
âThatâs straightforwardâ¦â
George was troubled. âSo that means I have to come up with a way to send Maya away?â
George
Alex
âTell me about what happened back then, and Iâll think about it.â
