“I actually went for a DNA test,” she confessed.
Her admission left them momentarily taken aback.
“Rosa, with whom are you trying to match your DNA?” Lyndon inquired.
“Myself and my birth parents,” Rosalynn responded.
A flicker of confusion crossed Brian’s face.
“Honey, have you located your real parents?”

Anticipation tightened Brian’s features.
“Who are they?”
“Mr. and Mrs. Moreno,” she revealed.

Lyndon recalled, “Mrs. Moreno had only one daughter, yet she passed away as an infant. Rosa, you
mean…”
“There must have been a mix-up. The child didn’t die,” Rosalynn interjected.
“So, you believe you’re that child?” Brian pressed.
Rosalynn affirmed with a nod, “Yes. Remember the jade pendant I mentioned before? It has a dragon
on it and ‘Moreno’ inscribed on the side. That pendant undoubtedly belongs to the Moreno family.”
Upon hearing Rosalynn’s words, Lyndon recalled, “Mrs. Moreno indeed possessed two ancestral jade
pendants. One she gifted to Selina, the other was with her late daughter.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBrian’s pulse quickened. He knew of the Moreno family’s jade pendant heirlooms yet their appearance
eluded him.
If Rosalynn had a pendant, it would simplify matters greatly.
“Do you have the jade pendant with you? Revealing it to Mrs. Moreno would clarify everything,” he
inquired.
Rosalynn’s lips tightened.
“By some ill-fate, my home was robbed, and the jade pendant taken,” she revealed.
Brian, taken aback, questioned, “Your home was robbed? When did this happen?”
“While you were overseas, I discovered the theft. A thief had broken in and seized the jade during a
moment of emptiness at home,”
Rosalynn explained.
