Chapter 271 Fanny's Backers Fanny recounted somewhat apprehensively, “Dickson and I wanted to sell you off as quickly as we could, but that thing around your neck was an eyesore.
"We couldn't find a buyer. That sugilite pot glowed and had an engraving on its back." The engraving was a single word, but it meant neither wealth nor good fortune. It was "soul". No one would dare to acquire something like that, much less keep it.
Shuddering, Fanny continued, "I had an elder in our village take a look at the thing around your neck. He toldit was made from something deep under the earth.
"He claimed that it was cursed and told us to get rid of it quickly. That included getting rid of you too.
"Dickson and I abandoned you out of fear. We later sold the pendant to Mr. Rathbone, a jewelry collector in Southdale." Mr. Rathbone, Southdale. Wynter stroked her chin as she considered this information. "What about that landslide that year?" "Dickson and I ran off after we swapped you with the Yates' daughter, Fanny said. Fear flashed in her eyes when she met Wynter's gaze." We thought you were the cause of the landslide.

"As for you, you were mistaken for the Yates' daughter and taken away" away." Wynter lowered her gaze. “So where did you kidnapfrom?" "Kingbourne, of course," Fanny replied. She paused in hesitation and asked, "I mean, isn't your brother..." "My brother?" Wynter's eyes narrowed.
"The man you rescued from the cellar, he's..." Fanny broke off as realization dawned upon her.
Her eyes widened. "You tricked me! You don't remember anything. from when you were young!" Wynter didn't deny this as she rose to her feet. True to her intelligence and with the help of Fanny's story, she had already figured out her identity. In that case, Ryan's behavior earlier made sense.
It was medically discouraged for siblings to donate blood to each. other because their blood was too similar. That was why Wynter's blood couldn't be used for Elliot's transfusion.
Blood from closely related or immediate family could lead to the recipient's white blood cells attacking the recipient's lymphatic cells. This might result in serious complications and put the recipient's life in danger.
Wynter clutched her pendant. Her beautiful face was impassive. After so long, she turned out to be a daughter of the Quinnell family in Kingbourne.
It wasn't as if she hadn't guessed it. She had a feeling that might be true after coming to Paradise Village. Now that she had her answer, she didn't feel any differently about things.
When the Yates first kicked her out of their home, Wynter thought her real parents were living in a village somewhere.
She had planned on making big bucks so that she and her family could thrive together, but that dream was long gone. The sugilite charm was the only lead she had left.
Wynter didn't know why the memories were coming back all of a sudden. When she first saw Fanny in Southdale, certain images surfaced in her mind. Now, she finally found the missing links that had kept her from seeing the full picture.
However, there was still something Wynter couldn't figure out. She leaned forward and whispered into Fanny's ear, "You strikeas the money-grubbing type. You could have made a small fortune if you'd just told the Quinnells my whereabouts.
"So why didn't you tell them the truth instead of giving them false clues?" "I- I was worried about getting caught," Fanny stammered.

She avoided Wynter's gaze as she continued, "Our livelihood would have been cut off if someone could just walk up to us and ask about their kid's whereabouts.
"It would be fine if they were from the county. But if word got out, then we Le could get caught if someone simply did sdigging. I doubt anyone would let us off the hook. So I kept quiet about this." Analytical as ever, Wynter mused, “When was the last tyou didn't risk something for money, Fanny? Fear would never stop you from taking the Quinnell's money.
"I can only think of one good reason why you kept my whereabouts an secret from them. Someone offered En. you more money." Fanny shuddered.
