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 explained, “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 Pamela disappeared, Linda would cry every day. She would even go out alone, dazed, holding Pamela’s photo,

asking anyone she came across if they had seen the girl. The photos Linda had of Pamela were only up until she

was four years old. The appearance of Pamela 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?”

Cordelia glanced 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, composed 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 plain clothes. Her cheeks were reddened from crying,

and tear stains were still visible. Perhaps only in this disguise could she remain unnoticed.

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

Zephyr placed 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 solace in coming 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 accepted 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.
