"I... I..."
Tara Hammond staggered backward several steps, finally realizing all was lost.
Evelyn Lucas was about to step forward when Theodore Lucas, her escort, suddenly flung off Evelyn's hand.
He took a step forward, grabbing Tara's wrist. "Tara, what is going on here? Nolan isn't your child—then who is that mute girl? I don't know any mute woman; why..."
"Heh... hehe..." Tara suddenly started laughing. Her laughter was bleak and desolate.
Seeing her despairing smile, Theodore suddenly felt a sharp pain between his brows.
"Theodore Lucas, do you want the truth? Fine, I'll tell you the truth... That year, after I aborted our first child, the doctor told me I might never conceive again. Did you ever think about how young I was then, how scared I was?"
"But... But you later gave birth to Evelyn?"
Theodore had been at Tara's side every day during her pregnancy with Evelyn.
He was certain Evelyn must be Tara's biological daughter.
