A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 430

Quintis was at a loss for words.

"I remember now!"

Suddenly, a flash of insight lit up Emily's mind. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Quintis, I remember! He… He really could be our child, our long-lost baby! It's true. I'm sure of it. It must be him!"

She was so overwhelmed with emotions that she began to tremble, and her words tumbled out in a jumble.

Seeing her so certain, Quintis was deeply moved. "How can you be so sure? Do you have any proof?"

She nodded, her thoughts drifting as if she were in a dream, and she said softly, "It just hit me! It was right here, at the same spot. He clashed with Tris, and I gave him a piece of my mind.

"I saw the hatred in his eyes. He spat out that I was a vile woman, a coward who'd run out on her own flesh and blood. Then, he went on about how we were all rotten from the top down, the whole damn lot of us."

At the time, Emily had been struck to the core by Jack's words. She had been stunned, unable to refute him. In the end, she had waved him away.

She hadn't even thought to dig deeper into how Jack could have known those things. And why had he looked at her with such hatred, such venom?

Now, looking back on it all, could it be that he had already seen through everything? Was that why he had looked at her with such resentment?

Yes! It had to be!

His emotions were real. There was no faking them.

Otherwise, how else could his intense hostility toward her be explained?

It was a pity that she had been so blind back then, never even considering this possibility.
