Raelynn froze for a long time.
"...Mine?"
She had only intended to ask Arthur about the pendant so she could relay the message to Dr. Evelyn Hayes, perhaps even broker a sale to the Yves family. She never expected an answer like this.
Her childhood had been turbulent, dotted with fleeting moments of happiness. The trauma had effectively wiped away most of her memories from her early years.
Arthur's eyes gleamed with an intense light. Mumbling to himself, he seemed lost in a distant memory. "You were such a wild child, always running around. Rowan was terrified you'd smash that jade to pieces while climbing trees, so she tucked it away for you. You were so little back then, and it wasn't safe to leave it with the Vance family. So, it ended up in the antique shop. Your father... he was never dependable."
The old man's voice drifted, frail and unfocused.
His thoughts were jumping from one disjointed memory to the next.
A storm raged in Raelynn's chest.
She was utterly appalled.
Her heart completely lost its rhythm.
The wild thought screamed in her mind, impossible to suppress.
Her connection to the Yves family...
Arthur, who rarely stayed lucid for long, abruptly shifted topics. "Where is Rowan? Why hasn't she come to see me?"
The question snapped Raelynn out of her terrifying speculations.
Meeting her grandfather's longing gaze, she realized his mind had clouded over again. He couldn't remember where his daughter had gone, only that it had been far too long since he last saw her. He desperately missed his daughter.
Tears pricked Raelynn's eyes.
She quickly said, "Mom is busy, you know how she is. She's a total workaholic. She'll come visit you another day, okay?"
Arthur sighed in disappointment. "I suppose."
After stepping out of the suite, Raelynn sat in the hospital corridor for a long time.
Her mind was a chaotic mess.
Too much had happened lately.

I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
