Chapter 450: She Was Johanna’s Daughter

Johanna suddenly got overly emotional, which had a way of overwhelming Janet, who then said in agentle voice

“Yes, it’s true. I was adopted by the Lind family.”

Tears started to well up in Johanna’s eyes. She patted Janet’s shoulder and went on to ask, “How did theLind family adopt you?”

Janet shook her head. Her memory of it was long gone. Besides, she didn’t want to recall such sadmemories from her childhood, so she had been deliberately avoiding thinking about what happened inthe past.

At the same time, Johanna had nothing to do with her. Why was she asking so many questions? Janetwas feeling a bit confused about what was going on.

“Mrs. White, if there’s nothing else you’d like to talk about, I have to go now.” Janet thought that therewas no more need to say anymore to a stranger. More tears welled up in Johanna’s eyes. Her hope,which had been long lost, was now back again. She clutched onto Janet’s hand and smiled lovingly ather.

“I’m sorry, Janet. I must’ve scared you just now. I was being too overly emotional.”

Seeing this, Janet proceeded to sit down again and said in a resigned tone, “I can’t remember whathappened that day in the past clearly. I’ll have to think it over.”

She tried her best to recall the past. She had no idea why this lady suddenly burst into tears, but she hada feeling she might feel better if she told her something.

“I don’t know exactly where it was they found me. But I’ve heard my adoptive father say that I was pickedup by an acquaintance of his in Barnes. At that time, there had been an earthquake that turned the whole

city into chaos. Many people were seriously hurt, leaving behind a lot of orphans and I happened to beone of them, I suppose. That friend of theirs heard that they wanted to adopt a child. That was why hesent me to them.”

After having said that,Janet was lost in thoughts.She had never even talked about this with Ethanbefore, but now she was telling it to a woman she had just met for a few minutes.

Hearing this, Johanna’s face turned extremely pale and her whole body shook. She covered her faceand suddenly burst into tears, unable to hold in her excitement.

Janet had no clue what was going on. She patted her on the shoulder and tried to comfort her, “Mrs.White, what’s the matter?”

Johanna took out a handkerchief from her bag in her hand and proceeded to wipe her tears. She lookedup at Janet again with a serious expression on her face and said while sobbing at the same time,“Twenty-three years ago, when my daughter was born in the hospital, there was an earthquake. It wassuch a chaos and I mistakenly took someone else’s daughter home. Over the years, my husband and Ihave always been looking for our real daughter but never managed to replace her. Not long ago, I saw onthe news of your marriage with Brandon Larson. I noticed that you look a lot like my husband and me, soI came here to see you.”

Janet was shocked and didn’t know how to feel. She looked at Johanna with a faint smile on her faceand said, “Maybe this is just a coincidence. Things like this happen in the world.”

Johanna wiped away her tears. After that, she argued, “I didn’t make a mistake. I just knew it. I’ve beenhaving a familiar feeling ever since I saw you. Families are linked by blood, you know? I believe that. Ireally think that we’re family.”

Janet also had the feeling that Johanna was familiar and kind. From what Johanna said, that might betrue. After all, everything from her age, appearance, and her story all matched that of Johanna’sdaughter.

Noticing the panic and hesitation in Janet’s eyes, Johanna held her quivering hand and asked cautiously.“Janet, would you like to undergo a paternity test with us?”
