Not A Small-Town Girl

Caleb had been trapped in a vegetative state. They were conscious, but their bodies could not move. It was a form of torture for her.

She initially believed that she would remain in this state until she died. To her great joy, she was healed by her biological granddaughter.

"Mom, you and Dad have been sleeping for so, so long. We’ve been hoping for you to wake up every day. We’re so happy to see you awake," Vivian said with tears in her eyes.

Howard choked and said, "Mom, I’m sorry for what you’ve been through."

Not wanting to see Howard and Vivian sad, Alice comforted them, saying, "It was nothing. I got to sleep all I want without any worries."

Alice looked around the room and saw Danielle. She said, "You’re Danielle, I suppose. My dearest granddaughter."

Vivian took Danielle’s hand. She was busy crying just now and forgot about Danielle. Vivian introduced her to Alice, saying, "Mom, this is Danielle. You recovered because of her prescription and acupuncture treatments."

Alice examined Danielle and was in awe of her beauty. Her skin was flawless, and her facial features were distinct. Her eyes were as bright as stars.

Although Alice had been lying dormant in bed for a few years, one could still tell from her demeanor that she was a strong and decisive woman when she was young. Alice ordered, "Danielle, come to me."

Alice waved at Danielle.

Danielle approached Alice and sat beside her.

Alice explained, "I knew who you were since the first time you came here, but I couldn’t wake up to greet you. Thanks to you, my precious one, that I get to wake up.

"Caleb and I have always believed that there was more to your kidnapping case than met the eye. However, we didn’t manage to find any useful clues. A few years ago, we finally had some clues. We wanted to go home to share them with your parents, but we got into a car accident on the way home."

Alice held Danielle’s hand and stared at her fondly.

Danielle was shocked to learn that Caleb and Alice got into a car accident because of her case.

It seemed that her suspicions were right. Someone had orchestrated her kidnapping. She vowed to unveil the truth regardless of how difficult the process would be.

Danielle did not want to worry her grandparents too much. She smiled and said, "I’m beyond grateful that you and Grandpa can regain your consciousness."

Only then did Alice remember her husband. She was awake, but Caleb was still unconscious. Alice said, "Danielle, how about-"

Danielle interrupted her and said, "Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll attend to Grandpa now."
