Chapter 1066
You Hit My Heart
Cecelia knew that Luther had extraordinary feelings for Joyce.
Since Joyce's disappearance, Luther had been dedicated to finding
Joyce over the years.
He would not move on so quickly.
So, since Zora suddenly appeared next to Luther, she could not think of
any other possibility than that Zora was Joyce herself.
At this moment, she felt so much more glad, if indeed she was right
about everything.
If Joyce was no longer alive, what was the point even if she found out
about the truth?
She could not accept such a tragic truth.
Hopefully, Luther had found Joyce and had found the truth.
She seemed to remember something and hurried back to her room to
continue rummaging and retrieve the paternity report from four years
ago.
She opened it up and read it through. Although perhaps there was
nothing wrong with the report, she remembered that there was another
sample from another girl back then. If there was a mistake in the
middle, they might have gotten the wrong result. She searched around
and could not find the DNA identification report of the other girl.
She should not have taken it back together at that time.
So, in the end, was the other girl Joyce?
Suddenly, she thought of something, something that had been forgotten
for too long.
At that time, the police department had brought them along to Khebury
Orphanage and they asked Ms. Armstrong many questions on the spot.
She remembered that the police made a statement. And, she made a
copy for her file.
After too many unsuccessful searches, she left the file behind each
time, in case she would need it again someday.
Only she knew what kind of hardships she had gone through in her
long journey of finding her daughter.
It hurt so much that she did not even dare to think about it.
So, when she found Charlotte, she immediately dusted off these painful
memories and put the documents into the bottom of the box. She would
never want to think about it again for the rest of her life.
With this in mind, she hurried to the small room next to the master
bedroom.
With trembling hands, she found the key she hadn't used in years and
opened the box.
With the lid lifted, a refreshing fragrance of camphor wood wafted out.
She took a deep breath. Khebury Orphanage was the last place she
searched, so naturally, the document was on the top. She saw it at
once, the long-dusted transcript.
She read through the pages and the words that were a record of the
painful past.
One disappointment after another.
Again and again, hope was rekindled.
Week in and week out.
She looked carefully and found this description in the transcript, in a
conversation with Ms. Armstrong.
"Oh, that year, we got so many new children coming in, and many of
them were adopted and taken away. I have a deep impression of
Joyce, and she is the pride of our orphanage. There was someone who
wanted to adopt her, but she didn't agree, so the process never worked
out. So she has remained in the orphanage all the time. About the other
children... Charlotte is the same age, so she must come here at the
same time. There are two other boys, but they are certainly not what
you are looking for. Officer, I can't remember that many people. I'll have
to go back and look through the information and then I'll give you a list
of children who actually qualify.â
Cecelia held the transcript in her hand.
She could not help but have moist eyes.
So that was really the truth!
