Chapter 1122


    Zuko was about to reveal the truth when a knock on the door interrupted them. The butler entered with


    Jesse and Melissa, wearing a smile as he exined, “Mr. and Mrs. Jenner got lost in the garden. We


    guided them to the guest room, but they insisted on seeing you.”


    Zephyr and Cordelia exchanged polite smiles and gestured for Zuko to leave first.


    Cordelia poured floral tea for everyone, noticing the perspiration on their foreheads and realizing they


    must have something important to discuss.

    “Please, speak your mind,” she said with a gentle smile. “We’re going to be family, no need to be too


    formal.”


    “In that case, I won’t beat around the bush,” Melissa said, taking out a photo. It showed the two of them


    holding a young Lina, taken on a ship with a dock in the background as they were about to buy snacks


    for her.


    That act had saved them from their biggest disaster.


    Cordelia’s gaze changed as she saw the face of the little girl, her heart racing.


    After Pam disappeared, Linda would cry every day. She would even go out alone, dazed, holding


    Pam’s photo, asking anyone she came across if they had seen the girl. The photos Linda had of


    Pam were only up until she was four years old. The appearance of Pam at four years old


    matched the girl in the photo they were holding.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Jenner, as residents of Centrolis, you must be aware of the shipwreck that happened 20


    years ago, right?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    Cordelia nced at Zephyr subconsciously, and he too had a deep gaze, his brows furrowing even


    more.


    “This ship was called the Latitude… We met Lina on that ship. She was being carried by a man who


    seemed quite terrified and didn’t appear to know how to care for a child. So, we took care of her all the


    way.


    “Perhaps it was because of this child’s blessings that we survived the sinking of the Latitude and


    brought Lina back home.”


    Cordelia could hardly believe her ears. The Latitude, the shipwreck, a man carrying a child—everything


    matched, and every clue pointed to the impending answer!


    Cordelia took a deep breath,posed herself, and said, “So, Lina… She…”


    “She is not our biological daughter,” Melissa admitted with an unusual calmness. She had feared and


    detested this sentence for many years, but now she could say it calmly.


    Cordelia took the photo, gently running her fingers over the young and innocent face, feeling a sudden


    pang in her chest. The girl in the photo had her hair cut and was wearing in clothes. Her cheeks


    were reddened from crying, and tear stains were still visible. Perhaps only in this disguise could she


    remain unnoticed.


    If Nichs and Linda saw their beloved baby in such a state, how heartbroken would they be?


    Zephyr ced his hand on Cordelia’s shoulder and gently squeezed twice, hinting at something.


    Cordelia snapped back to reality and silently listened as Melissa continued.


    Melissa stood up and respectfully bowed. “Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton, we find sce ining to


    Centrolis and seeing that Lina is able to marry into a family like yours…


    “But I have one more request, which is for you to help her find her biological family. It would… also be a


    way for me to atone for my past actions!”


    Cordelia epted the photo, her mind in chaos even as she returned to the room.


    Zephyr remained calm. As soon as he entered the room, he began searching for the few photos they


    had of Pammy.
