CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 817

Nina was stunned. She held out her hand, showing the string of beads she always wore. "What did you say? This was your mother's keepsake?"

"Yes," Micah said, staring at her wrist.

"Impossible," Nina protested. "How can you be sure it's your mother's? It's just a string of beads. There could be many like it."

"This is the only one," Micah said firmly.

Nina stared at him in shock.

"You don't understand emerald, do you?" Micah began. "This region is known for emerald. No two pieces are alike in the world. Your beads are unique, which is why I'm questioning your identity. Are you really just Nina?"

Nina clenched her fists and took off the beads, placing them on the table. "These weren't originally mine. They were given to me by a friend. He gave them to me..."

Wilfred had given her the beads. He hadn't explained why, which was odd. These beads were precious to him. She remembered the words he had said when he gave them to her. "For your safety." That was all.

Looking at Micah, she realized he wasn't lying. He had always been interested in her beads, even asking her about them before. These beads were likely connected to him, but that didn't mean they were connected to her.

"I told you, a man gave them to me. If you want answers, you'll have to ask him. These beads are important to him," Nina said.

"If they're so important, why did he give them to you?" Micah asked.

Nina was at a loss for words. "I don't know."

"Maybe you are the rightful owner of these beads," Micah suggested.

"That's impossible. I have parents. I'm an only child. You must be mistaken, Micah. Maybe you and your sister have some unresolved issues, but I won't get involved in your family matters," Nina said, standing up, ready to leave.

Seeing the beads on the table, she turned back. "Regardless of whose beads these are, they're important to my friend, so I'll keep them."
