Chapter 615 Search For Biological Daughter
Meanwhile, at the Lambert family, Nicole had been gued by nightmarestely. In her dreams, her
misdeeds were exposed for all to see, leading to her adoptive parents abandoning her!
In her dream, Avery returned to the Lambert family, taunting her with the triumphant air of a victor. She
dreamt of herself bing a starving and freezing orphan again, at the mercy of others'' bullying!
Ever since the day of the reunion banquet, Nicole''s mental state had been quite poor.
ire didn''t dare to ask too much about what happened that day. She stayed at home with her, but her
sighs grew deeper and deeper each time.
That noon, Nicole woke up from a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat.
The once spacious and cozy room now felt eerily silent, causing a sense of unease.
In a sudden fit of madness, Nicole dashed out of the room, barefoot.
The housekeeper in the living room was startled by Nicole, who looked like a disheveled ghost. “Ms.
Lambert, what happened to you?”
Nicole looked around, but she couldn''t find ire. Gripping the housekeeper''s cor in fear, she asked,
“Where''s my mom? I want to see my mom!”
She could sense it. After a series of scandals involving her, her adoptive father''s attitude toward her
had be distant, even somewhat cold. Now, the only one who could protect her was her adoptive
mother.
“Mrs. Lambert is preparing lunch in the kitchen...” The housekeeper was clearly startled. “I''ll call her
right away.”
ire also heard their conversation.
Dressed in an apron, she came out of the kitchen carrying two tes of fragrant dishes. “Nicole, are
you awake? It''s almost twelve o''clock,e and have lunch. I made your favorite chicken fingers and
barbecue spare ribs.”
Nicole immediately stepped forward attentively, taking the dish from ire''s hand, “Mom, we have Mrs.
Lesley to cook at home, why do you need to cook yourself?”
ire looked at Nicole, noticing that herplexion seemed much better than the past few days, and
she rxed a bit. “I''ve noticed that you haven''t had much of an appetite these past few days, not
wanting to eat anything. I had no choice but to cook some of your favorite dishes myself. Nicole, look at
how thin you''ve be, it breaks my heart to see you like this.”
Nicole pulled out the dining chair for ire, helping her to sit down. With a gloomy expression, she
said, “Mom, I''ve done something wrong. Can you forgive me? I didn''t do it on purpose. I saw how
worried you''ve been recently, trying to find out where my sister is. You''ve been so anxious that you
can''t eat or sleep properly. I was afraid you''d be depressed and unhappy like before, even more
afraid that you''d fall ill from all the stress. That''s why I asked Dr. Sollo to fake the results. I really didn''t
do it on purpose...”
“Nicole, your filial piety is deeply appreciated, but you really didn''t need to resort to such a degrading
method. Although I desperately want to find your sister, I can''t bear to see you demean yourself like
this. I''ve told you since you were little, as a woman, you must understand the importance of self-
respect and self-love, and you must have your own principles and boundaries. No matter the reason,
you should never let yourself go, and you certainly shouldn''t use your body as a bargaining chip with
men. What you''ve done this time has truly disappointed your father and me!” Thinking about Nicole
faking the report, ire felt a lump in her throat.
However, seeing her daughter''s pitiful, pleading expression, ire found her heart softening a bit.
No matter how misguided the daughter may be, her ultimate goal was still looking out for ire. Nicole
just chose the wrong way to achieve it.
Nicole clenched her fist tightly, not daring to meet ire''s eyes. “Mom, I''m sorry,” she said. “I promise
I''ll never do something so foolish again in my life.”
ire took Nicole''s hand, gesturing for her to sit down, and continued to educate her with a serious
tone, “Nicole, one should not be arrogant, but one must neverck pride. I hope that you can live your
life openly and honestly. Do you understand what I mean?”
With a heavy nod, Nicole lowered her head in shame, “Mom, I understand all these principles. I was
just momentarily confused, I''m sorry... So, how did you for Evangeline?”
“I gave her apensation and sent her back with her adoptive parents. She is innocent. It''s us, the
Lambert family, who owe her an apology for dragging her into such a pointless turmoil,” ire said with
regret.
Deep down, Nicole scoffed. The idea of Evangeline being innocent was trulyughable.
Even though she hadn''t spent much time with Evangeline, she knew better than anyone how difficult
that woman could be.
It''s a good thing she''s driven away. Otherwise, my days in the Lambert family would probably have
been even more tumultuous.
However, thinking of the “bullying” she had endured in the Lambert family thanks to Evangeline, a trace
of coldness suddenly shed in Nicole''s deep eyes.
That impostor had left the protection of the Lambert family. Let''s see how she can still be arrogant.
After all, she has lost the status of the Lambert family''s daughter. From now on, there will be plenty of
opportunities to deal with her!
Upon seeing Nicole eating quietly and peacefully, ire finally breathed a sigh of relief.
ire stopped speaking, yet the profound pain in her eyes didn''t diminish in the slightest.

It seemed she must find a way to meet Allie again. No matter what, she had to find her biological
daughter.
The garden, nestled halfway up the hillside, basked in thezy afternoon sun. Yet, due to its elevated
position, it was spared the stifling heat of summer. Instead, refreshing breezes swept through, carrying
the fragrance of blooming flowers to every corner of the mansion.
Under the shade of the wisteria blooms, Avery, dressed in loose maternity clothes, was sitting in front
of an easel, teaching her twins how to paint.
Beside them, therey an array of colorful oil paints.
She pointed to a watercolor painting and an oil painting with her brush, patiently exining to them,
“Sweethearts, oil painting is different from watercolor painting. The former has richer colors and is
better preserved than thetter. Let me first teach you how to mix oil paints and match colors...”
The reason Avery wanted to teach the twins oil painting was not only because it could hone their
perceptual skills but also because it was rtively easy to get started.
The oil painting colors were rich and intense, so even if the children made a mistake, they could simply
mix another simr color to cover it up. Moreover, oil paintings had a strong sense of three-
dimensionality. Once the children finished their paintings, they could be framed, giving them a sense of
satisfaction and pride.
Rory, dressed in a verdant princess dress, was attentively listening to her mother''s exnation. Her
big, sparkling eyes shimmered with curiosity as she asked in a tender voice, “Mommy, oil paintings are
even more beautiful than watercolor paintings, aren''t they? Once I learn how to paint with oils, can I
paint our whole family into an oil painting? Would that be okay?”
Avery gently stroked her daughter''s little nose, smiling tenderly. “Of course, Sweetheart. I''ll be waiting
for that day as I look forward to your masterpiece.”
Zachary diligently followed the painting method taught by his mother.
As he sketched lines on the canvas, he also had to keep an eye out for his sister''s mischievous
paintbrush.
Avery watched the brother and sister interact with each other in a friendly and joyful manner. Suddenly,
her phone, which she had ced next to her drawing board, began to ring.
It was from Cecelia.
Thinking that Cecelia was about to give birth next month, Avery pressed the answer button.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a sharp and urgent cry from the other side, a woman''s
voice filled with tears, “Avery, help, save my child...”
