Believe Her
The person in front of her was wearing a black baseball cap, black sunglasses, and a black mask.
She wore a black overcoat with her hands tucked into the pockets, the loose-fitting clothes obscuring her figure.
One could barely make out that she was a woman.
Upon hearing Keira’s words, she nodded and sat down opposite Keira. She then said, “It’s me.”
Keira stared at her face, trying to discern what she looked like.
But the other party was well-covered, and it suddenly seemed pointless to Keira. “Was it you who impersonated me and married Lewis with a fake identity?”
The woman nodded. “It was me.”
Keira leaned back and looked at her casually. “So, who are you, really? Why all the mystery?”
The woman fell silent for a moment, “Keira, I can’t tell you who I am, but I came here to let you know that I mean you no harm. I truly just want to stop your divorce. Only Lewis can protect you.”
Keira sneered. “Like I said, I don’t need protecting.”
“No, you do!”
The woman’s emotional outburst came in a low growl. She slammed on the table, her demeanor intense. She leaned forward. “Keira, you do need it! You have no idea how much danger you’re in!”
Keira scoffed. “Danger? I grew up safely and soundly, never encountering any real danger.”
The greatest danger might have been Poppy.
She nearly didn’t survive Poppy’s beatings several times.
But after leaving the Olsen family, her life had gone quite smoothly…
Keira narrowed her eyes. “Compared to the unknown, it seems like you, who hide your face and are afraid to show your face, are even more dangerous.”
The woman tried to convince her. “Keira, I’m not. It’s just not time for you to know yet… that’s why I can’t tell you.”
“Oh?” Keira remained firm. “If you don’t want to talk, forget it. I have an appointment to divorce Lewis, sorry, but I have to leave.”
She stood up to leave, but the woman rushed to grab her arm in desperation. “Keira!”
Keira turned around.
Pressed into a corner, the woman seemed to have made up her mind, and she took off her sunglasses and mask without further ado!
Upon seeing that face, Keira’s pupils shrank slightly!
The woman had a pair of gentle and timid eyes, her expression cautious and tentative, mixed with fear.
That face was identical to Keira’s!
The only difference was that she didn’t have a mole at the corner of her eye.
Keira frowned. “Who are you?”
The woman immediately donned the mask and sunglasses again and then pleaded. “Please believe what I say, Keira. I won’t harm you!”
But Keira kept staring at her intently. “Who are you, exactly?”
The woman bit her lip and finally said, “I am your twin sister!”
Keira’s eyes widened in shock. “What?”
The woman gripped Keira’s hand and pulled her into the private room. Then she looked around anxiously before carefully closing the door.
It was only then that she took off the mask, sunglasses, and even her hat.
Her dark hair cascaded down.
The woman in front of Keira lacked some of the firmness of Keira and seemed visibly nervous and uneasy.
Whatever she had experienced seemed to have left her extremely frightened.
Keira asked, “What’s going on? Didn’t Mom only give birth to just me back then?”
Tears rolled down the woman’s face. “No, Mom was pregnant with twins. I was born with no breath, and Taylor threw me away without telling Mom, afraid that it would upset her…”
Keira was taken aback. “You mean Mrs. Olsen doesn’t know she had twins?”
“Correct, she never knew, and you were switched with Isla!”
Keira frowned. “How could that be? Didn’t Mom have prenatal checkups?”
The woman shook her head, “Mom has never had a prenatal checkup.”
Keira felt something was amiss and asked again, “Then how do you know all this?”
“Know what? That she’s our Mom? Or that you are my sister, that I also have a family?”
Just as Keira was about to speak, the woman gestured with her hand. “I can’t say, Keira. I can’t tell you w know, otherwise, my child will be in danger.”
Her child…
Keira remembered the woman’s message from last night, saying her child had just fallen asleep…
The woman grasped her hand. “Keira, I’m your biological sister. I wouldn’t harm you. Please believe
me! I swear!”
Keira narrowed her eyes. “Then swear on your child.”
Since yesterday, Keira knew that the woman’s Achilles heel was her child, which was why she made such a request.
But unexpectedly, the woman didn’t hesitate at all. “I can swear on my child that I have absolutely no intention to harm you! I discouraged you from divorce for your own good! If I’m lying, may my child…”
She trailed off, struggle flashing in her eyes.
It was a normal mother’s reaction.
Her unhesitating oath indicated she wasn’t lying.
And when it came to her child’s misfortune, she couldn’t bear to voice it…
Keira’s trust in her grew a little, “Alright, there’s no need to say more.”
She asked, “Is your child a girl or a boy?”
Upon hearing this, the woman instantly showed a tender expression, smiling kindly as she took out her phone. She entered the lock screen password. “It’s my daughter’s birthday.”
Then she opened her photo album and handed it to Keira. “Keira, this is my daughter Amy. You’re her aunt.”
In the photo, a little girl around two or three years old looked very cute, her beautiful eyes gazing at the camera.
Perhaps there really was a blood connection, for when Keira saw the child, her heartbeat quickened slightly.
A sense of inexplicable intimacy welled up inside her.
She looked at the woman again. Intuition told her the woman hadn’t deceived her.
There were secrets about Jodie South, and Keira had always been aware of that.
The absence of prenatal checkups during pregnancy was plausible…
As for what followed, the sister being discarded and her being swapped, all these might be inseparably linked to Taylor!
While Keira was contemplating this, the woman turned off her phone and looked at her again. “Keira, do you believe me now? I truly wouldn’t harm you. You mustn’t divorce…”
No divorce…
Keira’s eyes darkened.
If possible, she too wouldn’t want a divorce.
But given the circumstances, Lewis had essentially already made a choice.
She glanced down at her own phone, where a message from Lewis a few minutes earlier read, “Keira, 2 p.m.,
the courthouse. You must come.”
She looked down with a bitter smile, her heart aching
slightly. With things the way they were now, how could she not divorce?
Meanwhile, her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Mrs. Olsen, “Aren’t you meeting a handsome uncle at Fragrance Hall at twelve? I’m heading out first to wait for you there. Come after you’re done with your business.”
Keira promptly replied, “Room 8. If you get there first go right in.”
Having sent that message, a message from that handsome uncle arrived. “Little friend, I’m in room 8. When will you be here?”
Keira immediately replied, “Please wait. My mom will come by first to entertain you on my behalf.”
After replying to messages from both sides, she finally turned her attention back to the sister in front of her.
