Edwin’s surprise only lasted for a few seconds, then he calmly asked, Mrs. Brenna, you have quite the memory, remembering that detail so clearly after all these years.” 

Brenna sighed deeply and said, I was friends with your mom, and she got hurt so bad trying to protect the baby she was carrying. Its a memory etched deep in my heart. Your sister was different from other babies right from the startso pretty and chubby, with those big eyes just like your mom’s. And that birthmark, shaped like a petal, had me in tears. I thought it must be your mom leaving her favorite. thing with your sister” 

Edwin stepped out of the doctor’s office, his mind swirling with Brenna’s words. Brenna had been his mother’s dearest friend and the doctor who had taken care of his mother during her pregnancy. Her words rang with truth

His sister had a petalshaped birthmark on her back. That was the legacy his mother had left for his sister. She must have been so worried about her, and she wanted that birthmark to be a guardian, as if she were always by her side

However, the sister he had watched over since childhood bore no such mark on her back

Edwin felt a visceral pain, convulsing from the inside out. He was now certainHeidi was not his mother’s child

He took several deep drags. The heavy smoke made him cough violently, his eyes reddening intensely

James sounded surprised and after a few seconds replied, She had a petal birthmark on her waist. Why do you ask all of a sudden?Edwin’s back hit the wall with a thud. The same cherry blossom birthmarkit couldn’t be a coincidence. He gripped the phone tightly. his long fingers turning pale

Uncle, I think I’ll come visit grandma and grandpa in a few days. I’ve been missing them,he said

James laughed heartily. Your grandparents will be thrilled to hear that. Bring Heidi along. They’ve been missing her too.”
