Chapter 3 Fake Daughter
Blood ties were amazing. Even though she hadn't seen Monica for many years, Nancy could instantly recognize the young girl in front of her was her own daughter.
Monica also had this wonderful feeling. So, when Nancy rushed to hug her, she did not resist.
"Thank god! I found you!" Nancy said, in a choked voice. "Sorry Monica, sorry ... It's my fault. You were abducted by a child trafficker because I didn't protect you."
It turned out that she was abducted by child traffickers.
Monica had also wondered why her family of origin had abandoned her. Only because she was a girl? Now Monica Knew that her relatives were caring for her, a soft place in her heart had been touched, and her expression was not as distant and cold as before when they first met.
"Mom, please let sister sit down, we haven't rested on the way back, she should be tired." Gavin thoughtfully reminded.
"Oh sorry, I am too excited." Nancy agreed without letting Monica's hands go and pulled her to sit down.
Seeing all the people gathered around Monica, a trace of jealousy crossed the face of the young girl on the side. But she hid her expression and showed a smile, "Monica, are you thirsty? Here is a glass of water for you."
The families noticed Anne until now. Nancy felt warm because of Anne's maturity and sensitivity, and she said, 'Anne, you are so considerate."
Anne said shyly, "sister just came back from the countryside, I deserve to care for her."
'Thank you." Monica took the glass of water indifferently and glanced at her.
Gavin noticed Monica's gaze and introduced to her, "Monica, she is Anne, I had told you earlier on the way."
"Yes, I remember." Monica responded.
Gavin did say this earlier. The reason why Nancy and Jeffrey did not look for Monica years ago is that they found Anne, who had the same birthmark behind her ear as Monica's in the third year after their daughter was lost. At that time, they took Anne home mistakenly and did not continue to look for their lost daughter.
It wasn't until recently that the police informed them that they had a match for the DNA data they had uploaded years ago. Nancy and Jeffrey realized that they had made a mistake. But they had raised Anne for so many years, and they couldn't bear to send her away. So, Nancy and Jeffrey decided to let Anne stay here, and promised to help her find her family.
In other words, they still need to spend time together for some time.
'Nice to meet you, Monica." Anne smiled warmly and extended her hand to Monica friendly.
Monica was naturally cold and did not like physical contact. She hadn't even been too enthusiastic when she met her parents, let alone facing a stranger. So she ignored Anna's hand and just nodded lightly, "Nice to meet you."
Anne's outstretched hand froze. She looked at Nancy and Jeffrey injured.
Just like she was being bullied by Monica.
Gavin frowned slightly and said, "Monica is introverted, please don't mind."
Anne bitted her lip, and looked stoic but understanding, she said, "I know. I've occupied Monica's identity for so many years, it's reasonable ... She should hate me. Gavin, I'm fine, don't worry about me ..."
Anne's words instantly drew everyone's attention to her.
"No, Anne, don't think too much." Nancy felt heartbroken for Anna. Although she was not her own daughter, after all, she was raised by herself, and Nancy had deep feelings for her.
A trace of a smile appeared on Monica's face. Monica thought, she can even make an issue of greeting … What a funny guy.
"You are so aggravated just because of a greeting. You even speculated I hated you. Fortunately, Mom, Dad, and brother were there and knew the truth, otherwise, they would have thought I was bullying you."
Monica's words silenced the other three people.
Gavin's tightly furrowed eyebrows loosened, she looked at this new sister, and a trace of appreciation appeared in her eyes.
Jeffrey also realized something. He gave a glance at Anne and said, "Well, Monica just got back, you shouldn't be too sensitive."
Anne bitted her lips and looked at Monica.
She thought Monica had been living in the countryside and would be a village girl with no idea of the world. She didn't expect her to be not only good-looking but also so hard to deal with.
Anne came back and apologized immediately, "Sorry Monica, it's all my fault. I am too sensitive. You're right, I shouldn't indulge my speculations."
Since Anne was so sensible, Monica didn't pursue the matter further. She turned back and looked at the others, "May I ask where my room is? I want to pack my things."
Nancy smiled and got up, "On the second floor. May I take you there?"
'Please, thank you." Monica nodded and went upstairs with Nancy and Jeffrey.
The image of a happy family hurt Anne's heart.
Before Monica came back, all of her parents' favor belonged to her. Now they know she's not their own child, so they give all their concerns to Monic
"Anne." Gavin said suddenly. Anne hid the emotion in her eyes immediately when she heard Gavin's voice and turned back with a smile.
"What's wrong, Gavin?"
Gavin looked at Anne deeply. He hoped that the gloom in Anne's eyes was just an illusion.
"Monica just came back, your second brother and I are busy with work, and the other two brothers are still in school. So, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Monica in the days before she starts school."
Why it was for her again? Anne felt irritable and depressed, but she still smiled against her will, "Of course, Gavin brother, don't worry."
Gavin was finally relieved, "I also sent your DNA sample to the police station, I believe there will be information about your family soon, don't be anxious.
"Ok, thank you." Anne said stiffly. Her heart was filled with hatred. Did they want to get rid of her quickly so that they can be reunited as a complete family?
