Oliver and Anna had never once looked away.Due to their special identities, all of the personnel in the testing center had no choice but to stay back and work overtime nervously. In the end, the result was released at dawn on the second day.“What does it say?” Even though Oliver looked calm on the surface, his trembling hand had bellied his true emotions.Anna was more straightforward. She went forward and asked, “What is the result?“This test is to examine whether the bearers of the two DNA sequences are related by blood or not. Under such circumstances, we had to cross-check with many DNA sequences to look for similarity. A total of ten experts are handling this test together, and we…” The personnel from the testing center wanted to brag about their deeds, but Oliver interrupted, “Cut to the chase!”The manager cleared his throat and then continued, “We found that there are a lot of similarities in this lady’s DNA sequence and General’s DNA sequence. The probability of you

“In other words.” Jacob’s voice was raw and raspy. "Susie is really the child that the Wrights lost 25 years ago.”“Yeah.” Anna looked straight at Jacob. “And her name is not Susan Shelby. She is Rosalie Wright, and I want to take her home.”Jacob closed his eyes, but he soon opened them once more. “It’s no use talking to me, Anna. You should talk to Susie. As long as she is willing to go back to the Wrights with you, I’ll not stop her,” Jacob said calmly. Initially, Susan was the only family Jacob had, and Jacob was the only family Susan had. However, things had changed. Not only did Susan had a new family, but it was also a huge one. He felt Susan had the right to know about the truth and make her own decision. After all, they were her real family, but he had no idea why there was an indescribable mixed feeling in his heart. “Erm…” Anna felt embarrassed under his gaze. “I’m just afraid that Susie won’t come back with me… I don’t know how to talk to her, Jacob. Could you do

“Jacob, I’m tired,” Susan interrupted before Jacob could say anything, imploring him with tears in her eyes. Her heart was trembling slightly.Did her brother want her to reunite with the Wrights as well? What would happen after she reunited with the Wrights? Would her brother not want her anymore?Susan felt a pang of pain shoot through her heart. She only wanted her brother. She did not want to become one of the Wrights.Initially, she thought Anna was nice, but right now, she only wanted her to get out of her house. Jacob was surprised by Susan’s reaction as well. He did not want to force her to do anything that she did not want to do, so he said, “Have a good rest, then.”Susan fled the dining hall as if she was being chased by a monster. Staring at Susan’s back, Anna gave Jacob’s shin a kick and said exasperatedly, “I already told you to not be too straightforward. See, you scared Susie away!” “Truth is the truth. No matter how I phrase my words, if Susan cannot

“Jacob…” Susan nervously grabbed the hem of her dress. “What is the thing that you want to talk to me about?” she asked, her eyes darting around the room as she refused to meet Jacob’s eyes. She did not want to see the disappointment on Jacob’s face after he knew that she was not his biological sister. “Susie,” Jacob called out to her. His gaze softened when he saw the panic that lined Susan’s face.It was only now that he realized that he was not the only one who was shrouded in fear. They depended on each other for so many years, and they were inseparable. He was afraid that Susan would not want him to be her brother anymore, and the feeling was mutual. Both of their worries were totally unfounded. The thought put a smile on Jacob’s face. He ran his fingers over Susan’s hair as he said, “Susie, the reason I gave them your hair to do the DNA test is that I found the witness that year and I already knew that you’re not my biological sister. Secondly, the Wrights are tenacio

Piqued by his curiosity, Oliver went forward and asked, “What’s going on, Marilyn?” Marilyn was delighted when she saw Oliver. She hastily said, “Mr. Wright, please go and talk to madam. She has been crying all morning in front of Lady Rosalie’s portrait.” Oliver hastily went over and he saw his mother, Luna Harris, holding a portrait of a baby in her hand. Her eyes were wet with tears. As she looked at the portrait, she used her handkerchief to wipe the tear off the corner of her eyes, for she did not want the falling tear to smear the portrait. Oliver’s heart ached when he saw the scene. His mother missed his sister too much. She would look at the portrait almost every day, and sometimes she would be so overwhelmed by her sadness that she would cry. His mother’s health was deteriorating day by day, and all of them were worried about her. However, there was nothing they could do. Unless they could find Rosie, everything else was nothing but only a band-aid attempt. But

Luna lifted her leg, wanting to go over, but she felt a little overwhelmed. She stood at the door, staring at Susan unblinking.George and Oliver went over as well.George could still suppress his raging emotions, except his eyes were already rimmed red.“Dad, Mom, let’s go in,” Anna said with a smile. “Rosie and I have been waiting for you guys.”“Rosie, yes, your elder sister.” Luna’s gaze was still trained on Susan as she went along with what her youngest daughter said. She probably had no idea of what was coming out of her mouth.Susan felt a range of emotions looking at the family by the door. She could totally see how they were anticipating to see and reunite with her. Looking at how they wanted to come closer to her yet remained a little worried, Susan took a glance at Jacob only to be replied with a gentle gaze.Her heart felt at ease instantly.She told the Wrights softly, “Come in. Come have a seat.”Luna’s tears fell like a broken string of pearls then. Those were

After the little episode with the cigarettes, Marshal Wright was Marshal Wright no more. He insisted on chatting the night away with Jacob and Julian, asking repeatedly about events from Susan’s childhood to when she had grown up.As they chatted, Julian served them an exquisite wine that he had been keeping. The men then complemented their chatter with the liquor.After a few glasses, George flushed a little as he stuttered, “You guys… just wait. I’ll tell Rosie tomorrow to come back to the family officially with me.”“I don’t think she’ll agree,” Jacob said casually.With a slap on his lap, George made a glare. “Not agreeing? That’s not for her to say. I have the last say with the Wrights. She has to listen to me… since she’s my daughter.”George’s brazen but drunken words only earned him eye rolls from the rest.It was midnight when George dragged himself to rest in the guest room.Despite drinking a little too much last night, Marshal Wright’s circadian rhythm from years of

After hugging Susan, George side-eyed Oliver. “You saw it? Parting hug. Do you have one?”Oliver was speechless, quickly staring at Susan with a kicked puppy look.Unable to resist him, Susan gave him a light hug as well.Oliver bloomed like a child who got his candies instantly as he looked over to George. “I counted the time just now. Susie hugged me for a second longer.”George was upset, turning to look pitifully at Susan again.“Enough, both of you. Out, right now.” Having enough of them, Luna spoke up to chase them away.It was only then that the father and son left reluctantly.“Aha, the two noisy ones are finally gone.” Anna hooked arms with Susan, grinning. “Susie, you must be annoyed with them, yeah?”“No.” Susan smiled. “Marshal Wright’s a little… different from what I imagined.”“Hah, don’t look at his tough and serious face on TV. He’s a softie at home. Once Mom glares at him, he won’t dare to say another word,” Anna chuckled.Susan smiled at that, feeling more r

George’s humbleness had instead escalated the barb in Madam Shaw’s gaze.She took a glance at him before saying in a patronizing tone, “It’ll be more difficult for both of you to find a job since you’re older, but your son looks robust. Hmm, if he’s an honest person and is willing to work hard, I can find him a job. After all, you’re related to Susie. I should help out anyway.”She sounded like she was giving charity. Madam Shaw honestly thought that she was doing Susan a huge favor by offering her help.Finding Oliver a job… Julian arched his brow, floored by his mother’s absurdity. In spite of it, he took a sip calmly without the intention to explain.His mother had left the business sphere for far too many years, but her character grew more domineering and brittle. What happened today would do her good as a lesson to remember.Contrasting Julian’s composure, Susan blinked. She wanted to speak up but was stopped by Luna with her gaze.Luna asked with a smile, “Oh, what kind of

This was irrelevant to whether one was well to do or not. As long as there was time, everyone would gather in front of the television.The show would only start at eight. Before that, there was another program, the news broadcast.The news just went on air when Julian switched the TV on.Uninterested, Madam Shaw continued chatting with Luna after catching a glimpse of it. Everyone else continued with dinner with their eyes on the television, painting a rather harmonious scene.“The chief has gone to the grassroots to pay a visit and convey his greetings to the frontline staff for the holiday. This is coming to you live.”“The holidays, according to our tradition, means to go home and spend it with your loved ones. There is, however, such a group of people who continue to guard their posts and are unable to reunite with their families. They’re our heroic garrison at the border. Yesterday, Chief George Wright…”Catching something on the news, Madam Shaw looked at the television in
