Chapter 214
Jade suddenly froze.
Mia didn''t push her, extending her hand to take back her phone. But Jade pulled her hand back,
subconsciously not wanting to hand over the phone to Mia.
She asked Mia, "When did you find out I was Molly?"
"That day we went to the ssroom, I saw how you were, asked you why and you mentioned the scar
department. I took you to the hospital to visit Leo who was also hospitalized, secretly took your hair
samples to do a DNA test. I''m sorry, Jade, I was suspicious of you from the start when I saw your
childhood photos at your house." Mia said.
Thinking about it, Jade hadn''t noticed anything unusual at the time.
Leo squatted down on the side, looking at theke, appearing quite dejected. His brows were furrowed,
asking, ”Jade, are you really my aunt?"
Jade turned to look at him. So, she liked him from the start because they were actually family.
"You used to drink up your juice, pee in the bottle and trick grandpa into having it. You ended up getting
a spanking from Andre, your butt was swollen and you had to sleep on your stomach. From then on,
you never dared to pee in a bottle again." Jade said.
Leoined, “Geez, only a few people know about that secret.”
"I was the one who exposed you and got you beaten." Jade said.
Leo was furious, "Damn, you betrayed me, I told you to give the bottle to grandpa."
"That''s my dad." Jade said.
Just with this one anecdote, Jade had proved her identity.
"And when you were in kindergarten, you were sleepy and didn''t want to go to school, so you faked a
fever by putting the thermometer in a thermos. But your mom found out when she saw your
temperature was skyrocketed but your forehead was normal. In the end, your parents handed you over
to Andre." Jade said.
"And then what?" The one curious about the story was definitely Mia. She knew Leo was a
troublemaker as a child, but she didn''t know he was such a handful. No wonder he was such a pain, he
was like this even as a child.
Leo blushed, "Stop talking."
"Keep going, Jade, I want to hear." Mia and Jade sat on a rock, each upying half of it.
"In the end, Andre brought his nket to the ssroom and let him sleep there. Leo had the maid
dress him at the ssroom, then went to ss. Since then, he never dared to fake being sick to skip
school." Jade said.
Miaughed out loud, "Is there more?"
A smile also appeared on Jade''s face, "There is a lot, but my memories are blurred." In the end, a bitter
expression appeared on her face.
Leo squatted at the side, looking at the two women sitting side by side.
"You two are peers, and now I''ve be your junior." Leoined.
Leo had already been shocked on the way here. Seeing Jade, he just found it unbelievable. He
became the nephew of his two good friends?!
Such bad luck, and it happened to him.
"Jade, my grandpa was even nning to make you my girlfriend." Leo said.
Jade was startled, "What?"
Leo said, "My dad thinks I''m not good enough for you."
"He sees it very clearly." Jade agreed to his words.
Leo continued, "My mom really likes you."
"I''ve been her favorite since I was a child." Jade said.
In Naomi''s eyes, Jade was so sweet, gentle, and obedient. Her son always seemed like a naughty
child, making her want to discipline him. She always wanted a daughter, and often asked Bruce to help
her fulfill this wish. She even considered artificial insemination. But, her wish never came true.
Mia said, "No wonder when I married into the Cedillo family, your mom treated me much better than
treated you. If I didn''t know our rtionship, I would think I was her biological daughter and you were
adopted."
Leo said, "You''re a girl, that''s why my mom likes you. If you were a boy, would my mom like you?"
"If I were a boy, would your uncle marry me?" Mia asked.
Leo had no reply, and stopped talking.
Mia chatted with Jade, "Jade, do you have any memories of Andre?"
Jade looked at theke in silence, her mind filled with his care and protection for her.
"Brother, I identally broke dad''s cup." Jade said.
Andre picked up the broken ss from the ground and threw it away,forting his sister, "Don''t worry,
I''ll take care of it."
She kissed him, and he solved all her problems for her.
"Brother, I identally spilled mom''s perfume." Jade said.
"It''s okay. I''ll take care of it." Andre answered.
"Brother, I don''t want to study." Jadeined.
"You don''t have to. Let''s go have fun." Andre told her.
"Brother, I''m really scared." Jade was worried.
So, Andre protected her, even if he got seriously injured, he would never let go of her. He had to protect
her.
She was very afraid to leave Andre, so she bit her teeth hard, enduring the pain. When she left Andre,
her memory got mixed up and she mistook Chad for her brother.
"Mia, was he very worried about me?" Jade asked.
"He''s been worried about you for fifteen years." Mia said.
Jade looked at her phone in her hand, staring at that number, her mind filled with his care for her.
Finally, she dialed Andre''s number. After the call connected, "Mia, did you find Molly?"
Jade didn''t speak.
"Mia?" Andre asked.
Jade opened her mouth, but couldn''t speak, tears slid down her cheeks. At this point, Andre on the
other end of the phone also fell silent.
"Molly, where are you?" Andre asked.
"Andre, I..." Jade’s chin trembled as she cried.
Hearing her call, Andre felt a heaviness in his heart. He raised his head and closed his eyes, trying to

control his emotions.
Mia reached out and hugged her, giving her support.
"I''m at Emerald Lake." Jade said.
Hearing this answer, Andre let out a sigh of relief. He turned around, with his back facing everyone
else, and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes.
The call ended.
Miaforted Jade, "What are you afraid of?"
"Mia, I''m afraid I won’t have a home." Jade answered.
"Don''t be silly." Miaforted her, “Coleen and Mr. Kendrick understood from the start that you were
not their real daughter, but they still treated you like their own. Coleen even transferred Chade Inc. to
you for free to keep you. In their eyes, you are always their daughter, how could you not have a home.
The Cedillo family has been on the lookout for you, waiting for your return for a long time now. Your
home has always been right where you left it. And hey, don''t forget me. We once made a promise.
We''re like family, stick together through thick and thin.”
"I''m here too, what''s there to be scared of?" Leo chimed in.
"You''ve got so many families and people who love you. Your happiness is double the average Joe''s,
why on earth are you scared?" Mia queried her buddy.
Jade responded, "But if this happened to anyone, they''d need time to process it."
Everyone understood she needed time to chew on this, so they gave her space.
Mia, hugging Jade and gazing into the distance, said, "Jade,e back, the Cedillo family needs you
too."
Leo, looking at the calmke surface, had a silent moment for his future life.
