The unease Ingrid felt grew more intense when she learned that Ned had regained some of his memories.
"Angeline is already married, and the young girl might just be tall for her age."
Ingrid tried to calm her rapid breathing and steady her emotions. She supported Sherryn on the other side.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Fletcher. We were too late to buy the Silver Petals you wanted. I'll keep looking for a florist willing to sell."
Sherryn was not in the mood to talk about the flower now. Her mind was filled with Yasmine. Yasmine resembled Angeline so much when she was young. She wondered how, if the little girl was Ned's child, she could let her granddaughter wander outside.
Angeline drove with Yasmine to the entrance of the old Lawson residence. She looked back at Yasmine, sitting obediently in the car seat.
Yasmine immediately raised her hands above her head and made a heart shape at Angeline.
"Mommy, love you!"
Angeline was amused by Yasmine and gathered the courage to lightly step on the gas pedal, driving the car to the front door.
She rolled down the car window and pressed the doorbell. The intercom connected.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Hello, I am... Angeline. I made an appointment with Mr. Lawson Senior to bring the child to visit him today."
"Okay. Please wait a moment. I'll open the door for you."
The beautiful iron gates slowly opened shortly after. At the end of the road was a castle-like building.
