Never Late, Never Away Chapter 472
“I do want you to save my mother, but I wasn’t lying!” Vivian racked her brains as to how to get Evelyn to believe her.
Of course, the birthmark! Vivian recalled that it was precisely that which led the Morrisons to believe that the baby Rachel brought to them was theirs.
“Do you have a butterfly-shaped birthmark on your waist?” Vivian asked.
“I don’t suppose that this was something your mother told you as well,” Evelyn sounded markedly calmer as she spoke with arms akimbo. “Now, it’s about the birthmark, huh. Get to the point.”
“Look.” Vivian did not elaborate much as she lifted her own top to reveal the birthmark on her own hip.
“Why do you also have one?” Evelyn said in astonishment after she had a closer view of it.
“I had this from birth. The one you have was branded onto you by my mother. I think you ought to believe me now.”
Evelyn was stunned. Everything could have been fabricated, but this birthmark was something else.
It was pointed out to her on one occasion when she was being bathed by her mother as a little girl. “This is my baby’s lucky butterfly. I wouldn’t have been able to get you back without it.”
The sight of a similar birthmark on Vivian had her reconsidering the certainty in Vivian’s demeanor. Evelyn began to buy into the possibility that she might really not be a Morrison.
The very notion of that made her furious with Vivian. Her eyes burned as she regarded her counterpart.
As if it was not enough that Vivian stole the love of her life from her, she was now going to rob her of brother and her identity as the young lady of the house from her as well.
