Chapter 10
You Hit My Heart
After Joyce bought dinner and helped Justin settle down, she went
back to the hospital billing center to pay off the 300,000.
After everything was done, she came to the orphanage in the
afternoon.
Last time she could not make it to the orphanage because of what
happened that night. She made a new appointment with the dean to
come over this afternoon.
She grew up in an orphanage and was always treated well by Mother
Rachel.
The orphanage had been keeping their information, and once someone
came looking for their family, they would call them over to identify them.
As a child, Joyce was quite looking forward to finding her biological
parents, but unfortunately, she found the wrong one every time.
Over time, with one disappointment after another, she had long been
indifferent.
She survived without her parents, didn't she?
On her way upstairs, Joyce met Charlotte, who had just arrived, at the
corner.
Charlotte smiled sweetly and greeted warmly, âJoyce, you're here too?"
Joyce smiles and nods. She and Charlotte grew up together and are
now at the same university.
They didn't really meet each other much, but their relationship was
okay.
The two pushed the door into the dean's office together.
In unison, they called out, "Hello, Dean!"
Rachel looked up from the pile of documents, saw them, and said
happily, "Finally you are all here, I know you're busy, but this can't be
delayed any longer."
Joyce asked, "Dean, I've come to look up information in the past for
family searches, what exactly do I need to do this time?"
Joyce and Charlotte entered the orphanage in the same year and
month, and they were close in age and height, so every time someone
came looking for a family member, they had to call them together and
tell each other apart.
"Oops, this time we test your DNA, you each leave a strand of hair and
a cut nail.â
"Oh."
Joyce didn't think much of it.
Charlotte, on the other hand, had her eyes rolled back in suspicion.
Joyce and Charlotte both kept their nails and their hair separately and
put them into the bag designated by the dean.
âI tell you, the background of the people who came to find their relatives
this time is remarkable ..."
Joyce had just come from the hospital and was still in a hurry to get
back and pack up her things and move to Luther's house for the night.
She wasn't interested in listening further and said urgently, "Dean, I
really have an emergency and I have to go."
"Get on with it." Rachel nudged Joyce with a smile, "Know you're a
busy man! I'll let you know if there's any news."
After Joyce left, Charlotte affectionately came up to Rachel and rubbed
her shoulders, inquiring, "Dean, what kind of person is looking for a
family member and making it so complicated?"
Shaking the bag in his hand, "Look, I brought the dried beans you
love."
Charlotte had always been good at pleasing people, and Rachel liked
her a lot.
âYou know me best! Did you know that the Heath family from the
capital?"
Charlotte was stunned, "The Heath family? I don't think that means the
Capital family, the current Commander-in-Chief Rodney Heath, and
General Ralph Heath."
âThe Heath family lost their granddaughter and have been looking
everywhere for her ever since. They found Khebury in a roundabout
way, and I heard she was about your age.â Rachel returned.
"Wasn't it like looking for a fine needle in a haystack? Do they have
tokens or anything like that?" Charlotte queried.
âI heard there was a silver pendant, but you don't have it in your file
bags, and I don't remember seeing it, so the DNA test is the most
accurate.â
Charlotte's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she knew Joyce had a
silver pendant. And when they were young, she was particularly
envious! And she stole it from her when she bathed, and Joyce did not
even notice a thing.
She might be able to find this silver pendant if she did not lose it.
Could Joyce really be the daughter of the Heath family, the warlord
family? The granddaughter of the commander-in-chief of the military
district? The daughter of a general?
No wonder, Joyce was a natural marksman?
Was it genetic?
Charlotte's heart was burning with jealousy, why was Joyce so lucky?
First she met Luther, and then she became the daughter of the Heath
family.
No, she's going to take it all for herself.
With that in mind, Charlotte warmly pulled Rachel up from the table and
said with a smile, "Dear Dean, change out of these work clothes. I must
take you to dinner today, I've missed you so much."
"Charlotte, you, your mouth is still so sweet.â As she spoke, Dean
Rachel had already been pushed into the bathroom by Charlotte to
change her clothes.
The corner of Charlotte's lips curled up in a wicked way as she sent
Rachel away.
She wants a step up, money, status, Luther.
She had to have them all.
When the dean was away, Charlotte looked so calm and...
Switch the hair and nails that she and Joyce left behind just now...
