NovelEnglish807 Chapter 806 Uncle Olsen froze for a moment before he spoke, his tone both amused and exasperated. "Amy, do you miss your dad? Fine, I'll get that rascal back to spend twith you!" Recently, Amy had taken to calling Keira "Mommy" and had been gently persuaded into calling Lewis "Daddy." Uncle Olsen assumed Amy was calling for Lewis.
But the little girl shook her head vigorously and pointed at the TV. "Daddy! That's Daddy!" Uncle Olsen blinked, puzzled. "What?" Later that evening, when Keira and Lewis returned home, Uncle Olsen, with an unusually serious expression, pulled them into his study.

Uncle Olsen frowned deeply. "I mean, Howard's trash-I've got him working hard labor out in the middle of nowhere. He won't be seeing daylight again. But if Amy really misses him, what are we supposed to do?" Keira's expression froze for a moment before she shook her head. "That's not possible. She's terrified of him. Besides..." She hesitated before continuing. "Howard isn't her father." Uncle Olsen stared at her, dumbfounded. "What did you say?" Keira sighed. "The day Sean cover pretending to be her father, I took Amy's DNA and ran a test. Howard's not her dad." Uncle Olsen's brows furrowed deeply. "I looked into your sister. She always seemed so... straight-laced. I didn't think she'd pull something like that. But honestly, thank God he's not the father. I was thinking of letting him live, but now? Forget it!" A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.
Keira, remembering what Howard had done to her sister, didn't find this decision unreasonable.
Maybe Howard had known Amy wasn't his child all along. It would explain his cruelty toward her. Uncle Olsen, still frowning, asked hesitantly, "So... do you know who Amy's real father is?" Keira let out a bitter laugh. "I have no idea." Uncle Olsen groaned, shaking his head. "Your sister and your mom... both of them were full of secrets. I still can't figure them out." Keira fell silent.
Her sister truly was an enigma-a walking treasure map. At first glance, she seemed plain and easily bullied, but every now and then, she'd reveal something completely unexpected.
Maybe she wasn't as helpless as everyone thought.
Keira mulled over the thought for a moment.

Amy was sitting on the floor, playing quietly with her stuffed toys, while Mary watched her from a nearby chair. Despite her heavily pregnant belly, she seemed completely at ease.
"Are you sure you're okay being around her like this?" Keira asked, eyeing Mary's stomach. "What if she accidentally bumps into you?" Mary laughed. "Amy's so careful. I've never met a more well-behaved child. She knows exactly what she can and can't do, and she remembers everything the first tyou tell her." Keira's chest tightened.
She suddenly recalled the first tshe met Amy, how frail and tiny she had been.
At Amy's age, most kids still had chubby cheeks and soft, pudgy arms. But Amy's face had been unnaturally gaunt, her body so thin it looked as though a single gust of wind might knock her over.
"She must've had a rough childhood," Keira murmured softly.
The room fell silent for a moment.
