Chapter 3
At this point, she had not yet returned to Jahren to reunite with her biological family
Upon recalling the scene in het dream earlies, Oneida instinctively reached for her lips
For some reason, every time Oneida closed her eyes in the three days since she was back, she would dream of the scene from her previous life where she was about to die.
Oneida silently pronounced the name “Jackson” in her heart, her face filled with affection.
She then swore secretly. “Twill come looking for you!
u this Be.”
“Cece, some wealthy people are looking for you!” Oneida’s neighbor, Lydia, burst into her house with excitement at that time. The latter’s eyes sparkled as she knew that gossip was coming her way. “They came in a big, cool–locking car”
Lydia went on. “They came all the way here for you. They’re determined to see you!”
Upon hearing this, Oneida began to count the days. She remembered that in her previous life, the Chaser family had come to Nusridge Village to bring her back around the same time
Oneida’s life was actually y rather ridiculous.
After Oneida’s mother gave birth to Oneida, the nanny swapped Oneida with her own daughter so the latter could become the fake daughter of the Chaser family. Oneida, the real daughter of the Chaser family, was then abandoned by the nanny and later adopted by a poor woman in the village.
Oneida’s adoptive mother was a mentally disabled woman who did not have a proper name and was referred to as “Dummy” by the villagers.
As Dummy’s daughter, Oneida didn’t have a name at first.
Eventually, the villagers started calling her “Cece” because that was the manner Dummy addressed her.
Three months ago, Dummy had accidentally fallen into the reservoir and died. Oneida didn’t even have a chance to see her one last time.
Meanwhile, the Chaser family stumbled upon the shocking secret after the death of the nanny.
After that, the Chaser family made great efforts to find their real daughter. They eventually succeeded in tracking down Oneida in Nusridge Village.
“Okay,” Oneida replied coolly, her tone devoid of any hint of excitement. With that, she loft Lydia behind and exited the adobe house alone.
Ever since she was back three days ago, Oneida had been waiting for the Chaser family to come and bring her back to Jeahron.
Only by going to Jeahron could she meet all her old acquaintances.
A sleek black limo was parked outside the courtyard fence.
Then, someone pushed open the car door,
A plump middle–aged man stepped out of the car, accompanied by a middle–aged woman dressed luxuriously.
They were taken aback when they
y saw Oneida in the yard.
At first sight, they knew that this girl must be their daughter as her face was a combination of all their best traits.
Lucas Chaser appeared excited to see Oneida, but Tatiana Chaser’s expression became slightly rigid.
Although the girl before her was her own daughter, Tatiana had raised Jennifer for 19 years. Even if they were not related by blood, Tatiana still had an emotional attachment to Jennifer.
Chapter 3
Except for her poor health, Jennifer excelled in every other aspect. She was intelligent and graceful, and Tatiana couldn’t help but wonder if her real daughter possessed these qualities.
Tatiana calmly sized up Oneida, taking note of the her washed out shirt, crumpled jeans, and sneakers stained with mud. Her expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
It was difficult for Tatiana to accept the fact that her own daughter was an unsophisticated country bumpkin.
Tatiana was deeply affected by this realization and struggled to hide the contempt on her face.
“If I bring this girl back home, she will definitely embarrass mel” Tatiana reasoned silently.
“Dear child, I’m from Jeahron,” Lucas said with a kind smile to Oneida, unaware of what his wife was thinking. “We’ve come to pick you up and take you back to your real home!”
Oneida looked at them with a half–smile.
This time, she didn’t hesitate at all and answered firmly, “Okay.”
