Save Myself From Desperation by Cara Agnes novel Chapter 248

The staff looked at Cara considerately and said, "Ms. Ward, you grew up in an orphanage. How great would it be if you found your family?"

Cara had always been sweet and kind in public. Everyone liked her so much that they wanted to help her find her family.

Dumbfounded a little, Cara replied with a sweet smile, "Thank you all for your concern."

She looked over and saw an elegant middle-aged man holding a girl's hand. The girl looked five or six.

Everyone around was whispering.

"This middle-aged man seems to have a lot of class and a great taste in clothes. Judged by his fancy clothes, I bet he's some kind of successful businessman. It's good news if he's Cara's true family."

"That little girl... Is she his daughter?"

"But Cara looks nothing like him..."

Luciano and the little girl came over hand in hand. When he saw Cara, a lump rose in his throat, with tears in his reddened eyes. To take a good look at Cara, he wanted to get closer, but he seemed afraid of being rude.

Luciano's acting was so good that everyone took it for granted that it was exactly how a heartbroken father would react when he finally met his lost child. People were deeply touched.

The staff reminded softly, "Sir, this is Ms. Ward."

Luciano choked on tears and looked at Cara lovingly. "I know. I've seen her on TV. I've watched all her shows and played them dozens of times. She indeed is a beautiful artist with talent."

The crowd looked sad. What Luciano said tugged at their heartstrings. He sounded like a father who was so proud of his child that he kept repeatedly watching her shows on TV.

Cara looked at him carefully and said softly after a while, "You said I look like your lost daughter, didn't you?"

"Yes." He handed her the photo and continued, "Check it out. This is your mother. You two look so much alike. Right?"

She looked down at the photo and found that she herself looked just like the woman in the photo.

The crowd gathered around and took a look at the photo. They exclaimed in surprise, "They indeed look so much alike. Especially the mouth. Cara had the same one as the woman's."

Luciano snorted inwardly, 'Of course they look alike. The photo was edited in Photoshop.'

The staff looked at him and asked, "Sir, is she Ms. Ward's mother?"

Luciano nodded and wiped his tears from his eyes while sobbing.

"Yes, she is. We lost Cara when she was a child. Her mother shed tears every day. We had tried to find her since then but failed...

"Later, we had Mara, Cara's little sister. Even so, we never stopped finding Cara. However, my wife had been in poor health and hospitalized for the past two years."

As he spoke, he shed tears and said to the little girl he was holding, "Mara, the person in front of you is probably your sister. Do you like her?"

Mara looked up at Cara and said in a sweet voice, "Are you my sister? Mommy misses you so much."

Mara's baby voice made everyone's hearts melt.

The staff looked at Cara and advised, "Ms. Ward, how about you taking a paternity test?"

Cara said nothing.

Cara wondered, 'It's impossible that I have anything to do with the man. What's going on?'

Luciano looked at her who remained silent and said considerately, "Cara, I know you don't trust me, but my instincts told me that you're my lost daughter. Please... I beg you to go to the hospital with me for a paternity test.

"And your mother... She misses you badly. If you're indeed our lost daughter, we feel honored and happy. If not, it's okay. We'll keep looking for her."

Luciano sounded really sincere.

Everyone turned to look at Cara.

Though she looked moved, she was overwhelmed with doubt and concern inside.

If she refused Luciano's request, she would be judged as a heartless woman.

What was more, she was sure she had nothing to do with Luciano, so she wasn't afraid of taking a paternity test.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cara looked at the staff next to her and asked in a soft tone, "If I go to the hospital now, will I slow down the shooting process?"

The staff quickly answered, "Don't worry, Ms. Ward. I'll tell the director that you have something important to do and need a day off."

She smiled, "Thank you."
