Despite having thought about it, I still felt uneasy. What if I actually found her? Would it be like I imagined? She might have already built a family, had kids, living a happy and fulfilled life. My sudden appearance could just be a pebble disrupting her peaceful life. Plus, I lost the pendant two years ago. Trying to find her now seemed more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.


    Unexpectedly, Be offered, "I can help you, whether you want to search publicly or privately, it''s up to you."


    I was surprised. "Really?"Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "Of course." Be nodded, her gaze briefly drifting towards Summer, who was blending smoothies in the kitchen. Her eyes were tender, radiating an unmistakable motherly warmth. "If someone had offered to help me find my daughter sooner, maybe I could have reunited with her earlier."


    "You and Summer..." I hesitated, "Were separated before?"


    If that was the case... I couldn''t help but doubt whether Summer truly was Be''s daughter.


    Two years ago, she was involved in some shady dealings with the Myers family. And now, it wasn''t out of the question that she''d be here trying to deceive Be as well.


    Be didn''t hide anything, her smile fading as she spoke with a hint of sorrow, "Yeah, she was switched at birth just two days after she was born."


    "Who switched her?"


    "We haven''t found out yet." Be sighed.


    I asked softly, "What about the child you were given?"


    "It was a stillborn."


    Hearing this, I was momentarily stunned. Be then spoke with self-reproach, "After that, and a series of other events, I left Vista Town and moved to North City. If I had known she was switched at birth, I would never have left Vista Town. I would have done everything to find her."


    "It''s not your fault," I consoled her, "The me lies with the person who switched the babies."


    "Let''s not talk about me now. At least, I''ve found my daughter now," Be said with a smile, appearing somewhat relieved. "Let''s talk about you. Are you from Vista Town or RiverCity?"


    "Vista Town." I pursed my lips, "From the Myers family of Vista Town."


    "ng-" The ss Be was holding shattered on the floor, tea sshing everywhere. She was visibly shaken, "You''re a Myers from Vista Town? One of the four big families?"


    "...Yes."


    "Your father is Victor?"


    "Yes, that''s him."


    Seeing her so knowledgeable, I couldn''t help but ask, "You... know the Myers family?"


    "Not at all!" She answered abruptly, quickly bending down to clean up the mess. But somehow, she cut her finger in the process.


    I rushed to grab some tissues, pressing them against the wound, "Do you have band-aids?"


    "No need." Be suddenly became distant, stepping back, "It''s gettingte. You should head home. I''ll message you about the dresster."


    I was somewhat perplexed but knew better than to overstay my wee, "Alright, then I''ll be going."


    Just as I was about to leave, I turned to her, "Oh, Ms. Taylor, there''s something I think you should know."


    "Go on."


    I carefully began, "Two years ago, Summer had..."


    "Ms. Webster!" Summer came over with two sses of smoothie, handing one to me with a bright smile. "Were you about to tell my mom how we met two years ago?"


    Then, she handed the other ss to Be, sweetly saying, "Here you go, Mom!"


    I chuckled, "Yes, that was the n."


    "If my mom''s interested, I''ll tell her


    e


    about it," Summer winked, leaning on Be''s shoulder yfully, "Ms." Webster, please don''t deprive me of a conversation topic with my mom."


    With the conversation heading in this direction, it wasn''t my ce to say more. Moreover, after Be


    heard + was from the Myers family, she seemed to be somewhat wary.
