Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 82

"My baby..."

A soft whisper escaped Janice's lips, "My baby is gone, they took my baby from me."

Tears slid down her cheeks.

Ethan, heart aching, helped his mother sit down on the bed. He knelt before her, taking her hands in his, and said, "Mom, I promise you Lucy is safe. You just chill, no matter where she is in the world, I'll find her."

"Mom, can you snap out of it for a bit? If you can pull yourself together, I can go find Lucy."

Ethan had been sending people to search for Lucy, as he couldn't go himself for fear of leaving his mother vulnerable.

Janice stared blankly at him.

"Mom, I'm Ethan, your son, not Dad. Look at me clearly."

He thought his mother had come to her senses.

"Ethan...my son, yes, my son's name is Ethan, and my daughter's name is Lucinda. Honey, we had twins, our son looks like you, but our daughter looks like your mother, that's why your mom loved Lucy the most."

Ethan was stunned.

He always thought his sister and he looked alike. Hence, when searching for his sister, he looked for girls that resembled him.

Sometimes, they did find girls who looked like him.

But, even though they looked like him, DNA tests showed they were not his sister. They had no blood relation at all.

To protect them, they only had photos of them at one month and one hundred days old, no more pictures of his sister.

From the photos at one month and one hundred days, it was hard to tell anything.

Turns out, his sister took after their grandmother.

Ethan had seen photos of his grandmother when she was young.

She was incredibly beautiful.

Otherwise, his grandfather wouldn't have married and adored her for decades.

Ethan felt a pang in his heart.

Now, his grandmother treated his mother terribly, and even favored his uncle's family. And his only sister looked like his grandmother!

"Mom, does Lucy have any distinctive features?"

Janice smiled, gently tapping Ethan’s forehead, "You and your memory, can't even remember your sister's features. Let me tell you, our Lucy has a mole the size of a green bean behind her left ear."

"Lucy...Lucy is gone. Honey, Lucy is gone."

Mrs. Janice grabbed Ethan's hand again, starting to sob.

"Mom."

Ethan couldn't help but stood up and hugged his mother tightly.

His poor mother!

For his mother's sake, he had to find Lucy.

Lucy, she might still be alive.

It took Ethan a long time to get his mother to sleep.

Meanwhile, Lucinda was awakened by a dream and couldn't fall asleep again.

Stefan noticed her room light is on and immediately came to knock on the door.

"Lucy, what's up? I saw your room light on, have you had a nightmare?"

Stefan asked worriedly from outside the door.

Lucinda opened the door and threw herself into Stefan's arms.
