The person in front of her was wearing a black baseball cap, black sunglasses, and a black mask.
She wore a black overcoat with her hands tucked into the pockets, the loose-fitting clothes obscuringher figure.
One could barely make out that she was a woman.
Upon hearing Keiraâs words, she nodded and sat down opposite Keira. She then said, âItâs me.â
Keira stared at her face, trying to discern what she looked like.
But the other party was well-covered, and it suddenly seemed pointless to Keira. âWas it you whoimpersonated me and married Lewis with a fake identity?â
The woman nodded. âIt was me.â
Keira leaned back and looked at her casually. âSo, who are you, really? Why all the mystery?â
The woman fell silent for a moment, âKeira, I canât tell
you who I am, but I came here to let you know that I
mean you no harm. I truly just want to
âStop your
divorce. Only Lewis can protect you.â
Keira sneered. âLike I said, I donât need protecting.â
âNo, you do!â
The womanâs emotional outburst came in a low growl. She slammed on the table, her demeanorintense. She leaned forward. âKeira, you do need it! You have no idea how much danger youâre in!â
Keira scoffed. âDanger? I grew up safely and soundly, never encountering any real danger.â
The greatest danger might have been Poppy.
She nearly didnât survive Poppyâs beatings several
times.
But after leaving the Olsen family, her life had go quite smoothlyâ¦
Keira narrowed her eyes. âCompared to the unkno it seems like you, who hide your face and are afraidshow your face, are even more dangerous.â
The woman tried to convince her. âKeira, Iâm not. Itâs just not time for you to know yet⦠thatâs why Icanât tell you.â
â
âOh?â Keira remained firm. âIf you donât want to talk, forget it. I have an appointment to divorce Lewis,sorry, but I have to leave.â
She stood up to leave, but the woman rushed to grab her arm in desperation. âKeira!â
Keira turned around.
Pressed into a corner, the woman seemed to have
made up her mind, and she took off her sunglasses and mask without further ado!
Upon seeing that face, Keiraâs pupils shrank slightly!
eyes,
The woman had a pair of gentle and timid her expression cautious and tentative, mixed with fear.
That face was identical to Keiraâs!
The only difference was that she didnât have a m the corner of her eye.
Keira frowned. âWho are you?â
The woman immediately donned the mask and sunglasses again and then pleaded. âPlease believewhat I say, Keira. I wonât harm you!â
But Keira kept staring at her intently. âWho are you,
exactly?â
The woman bit her lip and finally said, âI am your twin
sister!â
Keiraâs eyes widened in shock. âWhat?â
The woman gripped Keiraâs hand and pulled her into the private room. Then she looked aroundanxiously before carefully closing the door.
It was only then that she took off the mask, sunglasses, and even her hat.
Her dark hair cascaded down.
The woman in front of Keira lacked some of the
firmness of Keira and seemed visibly nervous and
uneasy.
Whatever she had experienced seemed to have ler extremely frightened.
Keira asked, âWhatâs going on? Didnât Mom only gi birth to just me back then?â
Tears rolled down the womanâs face. âNo, Mom was pregnant with twins. I was born with no breath, andTaylor threw me away without telling Mom, afraid that it would upset herâ¦â
Keira was taken aback. âYou mean Mrs. Olsen doesnât know she had twins?â
âCorrect, she never knew, and you were switched with
Isla!â
Keira frowned. âHow could that be? Didnât Mom have prenatal checkups?â
The woman shook her head, âMom has never had a prenatal checkup.â
Keira felt something was amiss and asked again, âThen how do you know all this?â
âKnow what? That sheâs our Mom? Or that you are my sister, that I also have a family?â
Just as Keira was about to speak, the woman gestured with her hand. âI canât say, Keira. I canât tell youw know, otherwise, my child will be in danger.â
Her childâ¦
Keira remembered the womanâs message from last night, saying her child had just fallen asleepâ¦
The woman grasped her hand. âKeira, Iâm your biological sister. I wouldnât harm you. Please believe
me! I swear!â
Keira narrowed her eyes. âThen swear on your child.â
Since yesterday, Keira knew that the womanâs Achilles heel was her child, which was why she madesuch a
request.
But unexpectedly, the woman didnât hesitate at all. âI can swear on my child that I have absolutely nointention to harm you! I discouraged you from divorce for your own good! If Iâm lying, may my childâ¦â
She trailed off, struggle flashing in her eyes.
It was a normal motherâs reaction.
Her unhesitating oath indicated she wasnât lying.
And when it came to her childâs misfortune, she
couldnât bear to voice itâ¦
Keiraâs trust in her grew a little, âAlright, thereâs no need to say more.â
She asked, âIs your child a girl or a boy?â
Upon hearing this, the woman instantly showed a tender expression, smiling kindly as she took out herphone. She entered the lock screen password. âItâs my
daughterâs birthday.â
Then she opened her photo album and handed it to Keira. âKeira, this is my daughter Amy. Youâre heraunt.â
In the photo, a little girl around two or three years old looked very cute, her beautiful eyes gazing at the
camera.
Perhaps there really was a blood connection, for when Keira saw the child, her heartbeat quickenedslightly.
A sense of inexplicable intimacy welled up inside her.
She looked at the woman again.
Intuition told her the woman hadnât deceived her.
There were secrets about Jodie South, and Keira had always been aware of that.
The absence of prenatal checkups during pregnancy
was plausibleâ¦
As for what followed, the sister being discarded and her being swapped, all these might be inseparablylinked to Taylor!
While Keira was contemplating this, the woman turned off her phone and looked at her again. âKeira,do you believe me now? I truly wouldnât harm you. You
mustnât divorceâ¦â
No divorceâ¦
Keiraâs eyes darkened.
If possible, she too wouldnât want a divorce.
But given the circumstances, Lewis had essentially already made a choice.
She glanced down at her own phone, where a message from Lewis a few minutes earlier read, âKeira,2 p.m.,
the courthouse. You must come.â
She looked down with a bitter smile, her heart aching
slightly.
With things the way they were now, how could she not
divorce?
Meanwhile, her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Mrs. Olsen, âArenât you meeting a handsomeuncle at Fragrance Hall at twelve? Iâm heading out first to wait for you there. Come after youâre donewith your
business.â
Keira promptly replied, âRoom 8. If you get there first,
go right in.â
Having sent that message, a message from that handsome uncle arrived. âLittle friend, Iâm in room 8.When will you be here?â
Keira immediately replied, âPlease wait. My mom will come by first to entertain you on my behalf.â
After replying to messages from both sides, she finally turned her attention back to the sister in front ofher.
