Chapter 976
“Daddy, I saw Mommy in Cloud City!” Melody had stopped crying. She fumblingly took out the phone in her pocket and tapped on a few pictures. Duke was caught off guard when his eyes landed on the woman‘s face. He grabbed the phone at once and zoomed in on the picture. At a closer look, he could see that the outline of her facial features were quite familiar, and the tenderness in her eyes made his heart beat wildly in his chest.
He suppressed his joy and slowly asked, “Mel, when was this picture taken?”
“Daddy, didn‘t you see me and Mommy hugging together?” Melody pouted. “I‘m wearing the same clothes as in that picture. It was taken today.” Only then did Duke realize that Adina was hugging her daughter in her arms. He cleared his throat and said, “Sorry, Mel. I got too excited. Where did you say you met Mommy?”
“In Cloud City!” Melody pursed her lips. “Mommy is now called Adeena, and she said she doesn‘t remember the past. She must have amnesia.” She took out a delicate–looking box from her pocket. “This is the hair I took from Mommy. Daddy, you can send it to the lab for a paternity test. As long as she sees the report, she can‘t deny that she‘s our Mommy!
Duke held the long and slender strand of black hair. Suddenly, the previous joy he felt dispersed. He slowly asked, “When you met Mommy, did she seem different from how she was four years ago?”
“The two months leading up to her disappearance, she was irritable and flew into a rage at random points... I still remember how Mommy looked when she got angry.” Melody spoke in a cool voice. “But, today, Mommy was gentle, and she spoke softly. I dirtied Mommy‘s skirt, and she didn‘t get angry, she even comforted me...” Duke stared at the face on the phone screen. Although her face was somewhat different from the one four years ago, he was 100% certain that this was his Addy!
