Chapter 484
“Seren, you should go to work tomorrow or open your shop. You don’t need to come over; I can take care of Sonny.”
Serenity remained concerned. “Then I’ll ask Mrs. Lane to stay here.”
Mrs. Lane was primarily hired to care for Sonny during the day, with cleaning Zachary’s and her home being a secondary task.
Liberty felt somewhat embarrassed.
Her brother-in-law hired Mrs. Lane to prevent his wife from getting tired, yet Mrs. Lane often ended up helping Liberty instead.
“We’re sisters, Liberty. We should support each other.”
Serenity didn’t want her sister to feel overwhelmed. “As long as Sonny and you are doing well, nothing else is more important.”
Zachary said warmly, “Liberty, we’re family. Don’t be a stranger. Serenity and I have a good income and no children yet, so we don’t have many commitments. You don’t need to worry about Mrs. Lane’s salary; we’ll treat her well.”
Liberty felt increasingly pleased with her brother-in-law.
Her sister was a bit luckier than she was,
and Zachary was a responsible man.
At nine in the evening, the young couple left Bright Boulevard.
Grandma May was already sitting in the hall, watching TV. She beamed with joy when she saw the couple enter while holding hands.
Zachary felt slightly awkward, but Serenity maintained a calm expression.
They were husband and wife. What was unusual about holding hands?
“Where did you go, Nana? I didn’t see you this afternoon.”
Serenity only released Zachary’s hand after approaching the elderly woman and taking a seat beside her.
“I met up with some friends for a chat. Have you just come back from your sister’s place? Is Sonny feeling better?”
Serenity nodded. “He’s much better. I asked Mrs. Lane to stay and help my sister take care of Sonny.”
“That’s good to hear. By the way, you mentioned that Mrs. Stone’s sister and Sonny look alike… When Mrs. Stone visited your sister, did she say anything about it?”
Grandma May was particularly curious to find out if Serenity’s deceased mother was the long-lost sister that Audrey had been searching for over the decades.
“Mrs. Stone didn’t say anything during her visit. She just turned pale and frightened Elisa, prompting her to take Mrs. Stone home quickly. I think… perhaps my mom was the sister she has been seeking.”
Audrey was pale because she struggled to accept the truth that her sister had been dead for fifteen years.
She spent decades searching for her only sister, but when she finally received a lead, she learned that her sister had passed away fifteen years prior. No one could come to terms with that.
“The decision is now in Mrs. Stone’s hands. My sister and I can’t do anything more.” Serenity’s mood darkened as she discussed this.
Grandma May nodded. “Mrs. Stone will need some time to accept the reality that her sister may have passed away. She will certainly come to both of you and suggest a DNA test in a…
A few days passed. She gently patted Serenity’s hindquarters and said reassuringly, “Seren, regardless of the outcome, we will accept it with grace. If your mother truly is Mrs. Stone’s sister, even though they can’t reunite, at least she has relatives who are searching for her and thinking of her. This way, she can find peace.”
Serenity blinked back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes. She pondered, ‘If Mom and Mrs. Stone really were sisters and had met sooner, perhaps Mom wouldn’t have lost her life in that accident.’ It was the living who remained to mourn.
