However much she disliked her, she was still her flesh and blood.
How could she despise her?
Her voice became even softer as she took a handkerchief from her bag and handed it over: "Don't cry anymore, wipe your tears quickly. There are some things I can't say for sure right now, but your encounter with Cecilia is almost identical, and you are both the same age."
"So, I hope we can do a paternity test." Madam White fell silent for a moment, then continued, "If you really are Cecilia, and you are willing to acknowledge us, your dad and I will make it up to you and love you. Whatever we can do for you, we will do."
Annie Lawrence lifted her already swollen eyes.
She spoke, her voice hoarse and choked: "Madam White, I am willing. I have always missed my biological parents so much and wanted to find them. I thought I would never have a chance in this life, but now.... So, whether I am your daughter or not, I am willing to accept the paternity test."
