They were probably not well acquainted with each other since they had only met once.
Ashlyn nodded and replied, “In a car accident.”
Even after so many years, she had always believed that her mother was still alive, living in a different place somewhere out there.
She was sure that her mother had a reason for never coming back in search of her.
Just like the information she had gathered thus far, she went missing while Alice was sold.
Ashlyn was determined to find her mother.
I must locate her! I must resolve the mystery and discover the truth. I need to know what happened back then. Also, where is my sister? How is she after all these years? Is she alive or dead?
She refused to believe that two people could vanish into thin air without rhyme or reason.
Nicholas tried very hard to suppress his emotions. With trembling hands, he held the photo and shut his eyes.
It's her! It's really her! She was that woman in the past. Yes, she was! If that's the case, then this girl in front of me must be her daughter. It's been such a long time; her daughter's all grown up now. As for me... I've been waiting for her my entire life.
At that moment, an indescribable surge of sadness and distress welled up within him.
When he heard Ashlyn confirm Alice's death, his heart throbbed dully. An immense sorrow and grief washed over him, consuming him to the extent that he felt so suffocated.
This is so painful. I can't breathe...
His eyes reddened as a petrifying look crept up on his face. “Kiddo...”
He had a lot to say but uttered nothing in the end.
Holding the photo, he was devastated to the point of going through a mental breakdown.
That talented woman was just like how he remembered her: beautiful, stunning, and elegant.
However, she was no longer living in that world. Nicholas found it hard to believe the ending he obtained after all those years of waiting and searching.
