    "That''s good to hear, otherwise I would feel very guilty," Selina said.

    "Yes, I believe you." She beamed at him.


    Her eyes were sparkling with joy.


    They were enjoying themselves thoroughly that none of them noticed that they were being photographed.


    In the Whitlock family''s vi, Natalie was apanying Cecilia.


    Cecilia had lost a few pounds in the past two days.


    She did not have any appetite to eat.


    Natalie''s heart ached at the sight of her.


    Although she had no blood rtion with Cecilia, she often thought of her as her own mother.


    Apart from James, she saw Cecilia as her most beloved elder.


    She had specially boiled some soup for Cecilia.


    "Mom, please drink some soup. Could you please at least do that for me?" Natalie pleaded with Cecilia. Cecilia took a nce at Natalie.


    She reluctantly picked up the bowl and took a sip.


    At that moment, a maid walked over to them.


    She nced at Cecilia uneasily and then turned to look at Natalie.


    "What''s the matter?" Natalie asked.


    "Miss Godfrey, there... there''s someone looking for you," the maid stuttered.


    Natalie was stunned for a moment.


    Who would it be? She wondered.


    "It''s ady," the maid added.


    Natalie could only think of one person, and that would be Yvonne.


    No one else woulde to look for her other than her.


    Natalie''s mood lightened.


    She had not seen Yvonne for a long time.


    "Mom, I''ll be out for a moment," Natalie informed.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Cecilia nodded and said, "You''re excused."


    Natalie followed the maid to the vi''s entrance.


    She asked casually, "Is it a young and beautifuldy?"


    An awkward expression shed across the maid''s face.


    "Miss Godfrey, please go and take a look," the maid replied.


    When they arrived at the entrance, Natalie was stunned by the sight.


    The person in front of her was not Yvonne, but a stranger.


    It was a woman in her fifties. She had a darkplexion and was short and skinny. She was wearing a cheap white shirt and a pair of ck pants with the bottom rolled up, revealing her bony ankles.


    She was also carrying arge sack with her, making her look like a farmer who sold vegetables in the market.


    Natalie stared at the woman for a few seconds before asking, "May I know who you are?"


    She was sure that she had no acquaintance with this woman.


    "Are you Natalie?" the woman inquired.


    She had a strong local ent, but her words were clear and understandable.


    Natalie nodded.


    The woman immediately cried out, "Oh my, I''ve finally found you, Natalie. My poor brother can now finally rest in peace," she said.


    The woman rushed to embrace Natalie.


    The maid stopped her and warned, "Please refrain from touching the esteemed Miss Godfrey."


    Upon hearing the maid''s words, the woman''s eyes started to shine with greed.


    Esteemed!


    It seemed that those people were right!


    James''s daughter had indeed married a rich man!


    The woman started to search for something before finally fishing out a photograph.


    She handed the photo to Natalie and said, "My dear niece, please take a look at this."


    Natalie was shocked when she nced at the photo.


    It was an old ck and white photograph.


    There were four people on it.


    Two of them appeared to be older while the other two were younger.


    The woman was apparently one of the younger ones in the photo, while the other one was a younger version of James.


    Natalie was absolutely certain.


    That person was definitely James.


    Natalie choked on her sobs, her eyes started to well up with tears.


    It was her father.


    the only light that shone through her dark and miserable childhood.


    The man who sacrificed his life to save Tobias.


    All that she was blessed with, everything, was all due to James.


    Without his sacrifice, she would never be able to achieve the happiness that she had always longed for.


    "Dad," Natalie sniffled, her eyes were red with tears.


    The woman felt her joy and relief grow the more she saw Natalie''s expression.


    She cleared her throat loudly before saying, "My dear niece, I know that you and my brother had a good rtionship, I give you my deepest condolences," she tried her best to console her.


    Natalie''s eyes widened, "Are you my dad''s sister?" she asked.


    "Of course I am. I am his elder sister and also your aunt," the woman added.


    Natalie''s heart jumped with excitement.


    "The person in front of me is Dad''s sister!" Natalie thought.


    Natalie immediately weed the woman into the vi.


    The woman told Natalie that her name was Francia Godfrey.


    It turned out that she used to live at the ce where she was born.


    Every year, James would return home to visit her, but in the past two years, James had yet to visit.


    Francia was worried for him, so she had asked around, hoping to hear some news about him.


    It was only then she learned that James had passed away.


    Francia''s eyes were filled with tears as she spoke, "My dear niece, you are my only remaining family, and I can only rely on you. They said that you are doing quite well, so Kcame here to seek refuge."


    Natalie was so excited to see James'' sister that she agreed wholeheartedly.


    After Francia had settled down, Natalie immediately gave Tobias a phone call.


    "That''s great news. Let''s discuss more about this when Ie backter," Tobias said gently.


    After chatting for a while, they ended their conversation.


    Tobias'' eyes shed with suspicion.


    His instinct, which was sharpened by his years of experience in the business world, pointed out to bìm that things were not as simple as they seemed.


    Why would the elder sister of the deceased James appear out of nowhere?


    Not to mention that she had even managed to find her way to the Whitlock family''s vi.


    Tobias felt that it was necessary to investigate Francia''s identity thoroughly.


    Matthew and Selina spent the entire afternoon in the amusement park.


    They both enjoyed the Ferris wheel, pirate boats, and other fun rides.


    After a ride on the pirate ship, Selina felt sick and even threw up.


    Normally, she would avoid the thrilling rides in the amusement park, but the only thing she wanted to do that day was indulge herself.


    Matthew patted her shoulder lightly, "Are you alright?" His voice was filled with concern.


    Selina finally stopped heaving.


    "I''m fine," she said weakly.


    She was trying to raise her head when she suddenly froze.


    Not far ahead, she saw someone.


    A person she had never expected to see.
