He remained silent for a long moment.
“Because if you find out now, everything could fall apart.”
The following Wednesday, I left work early and decided to follow them.
Robert’s car stopped outside an old building on the outskirts of town.
He got out, took Emily’s hand, and led her inside.
There was a sign above the entrance.
When I read the words, my heart began pounding uncontrollably.
It was a family reunification and missing relatives assistance center.
Missing relatives?
What was my daughter doing there?
I approached a window.
Inside, Robert was sitting beside Emily. Across from them was an elderly woman who was crying.
Suddenly, Emily threw her arms around the woman.
Then I heard my husband’s voice.
“She already knows half the truth. But her mother still doesn’t know anything.”
The elderly woman placed her hand on Emily’s head and said,
“Then it’s time Sarah finally learned who this child really is…”
