"Make sure you rest up, dear. Godfather's been swamped with his new project and hasn't had the chance to visit, but you're not holding it against him, are you?" Desiree's voice was weak but carried a touch of elegance. "He's got a lot on his plate too." Annie lowered her lashes. "I'll check what the kitchen cooked up today." "Sasha, I'd like to be alone for the rest of the afternoon. No visitors." "Of course, Grandma. I'll let everyone know." Once Annie left and gently closed the door, she turned to the nearby guard. "Did anyone else cin earlier?" The doorman shook his head. "Today, you were the only one who entered, Annie." Annie frowned, her eyes clouded with doubt. Where on earth had Brielle gone? "Cough, cough." Desiree cleared her throat and reached for her handkerchief to dab at the corners of her mouth. Her aged hand patted the bed.
"Cout now." Brielle slowly crawled out from under the bed, her gaze meeting Desiree's kind eyes. Sunlight streamed into the room through the open window. She hadn't used the front door; she'd cthrough the window.
The doorman wasn't there to monitor Desiree but to be at her beck and call. When Brielle first arrived, Desiree merely glanced at her. Now, in the stillness, Brielle didn't know what to say.

Technically, it was Annie who resembled the lady from the Lynch family, Dustin's mother. Brielle resembled her too et but since Annie wasn't a Lynch by blood, her appearance seemed to inoculate the Lynch family against the resemblance - there are plenty of lookalikes in the world.
The reason the powers that be hadn't let Annie assthe identity of the Lynch daughter outright could be that the Lynches weren't easily, fooled. With so many in the family particularly one close to Raymond, a renowned doctor, it was hard to pull the wool over their eyes. So Annie was placed in the open as a reminder to the Lynches: resemblance doesn't prove lineage.
And if it cdown to it, Annie bore even more resemblance to the Lynch family Brielle's features weren't an exact match for anyone in particular; she was a blend of two people Annie had been deliberately brought closer to the Lynches in appearance, and Brielle wondered whether this was by nature or a carefully crafted facade.
