Jane rolled down the window and let the cold wind blow in, trying to calm herself down.
But somehow, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. All she could think about was Ruby's ugly face and the words said by Bennett.
It was like a magic spell, making Jane almost out of breath. Through the reflection of the rearview mirror, Melissa also noticed that. She turned around with a little worry and asked tentatively, "Jane, are you okay? You don't look good."
Jane seemed to find a sense of survival when she heard the initiative conversation of Melissa. She smiled faintly and then asked in a low voice, "Melissa, what do you think... If I am not his daughter, then who am I? Probably I'm a kid no one wants, right? "
Wait? A kid that no one wants?
Indeed, children who were abandoned were usually taken in places like welfare houses and orphanages, and Bennett directly pointed the finger at them.
"It's okay. Maybe it's a lie that the man told to deceive you. Don't take it to heart. You'll know after investigation. It's useless to think too much now, right?" said Melissa, reaching out her hand and patting Jane on the shoulder.
It seemed that what Melissa said made sense. Jane closed her eyes and began to have a short rest.
When she woke up, she had already arrived at the destination. Mason carefully locked the door and then walked down.
He was not in a hurry to tell the two of them down, but observed the surrounding things vigilantly. This place was somewhat remote and suitable for ambush. If there were enemies, it would be bad.
About a minute later, Mason hinted that Melissa could get off the car with Jane.
A gust of cold wind blew, making Jane feel colder. She had never been here before, but somehow she felt a sense of familiarity from her heart.
But this sense of familiarity was exactly what made her feel the most uneasy. No one would have such a feeling when they saw a strange environment. The only possibility was that she had lived here before!
Her body trembled unconsciously. When she was lost in various fancies and conjectures, she was held by a warm little hand of Melissa, and then she encouraged Jane with her eyes.
Seeing that the two of them had stabilized their emotions, Mason began to hint, "Let's go. I heard that the master is also here. Maybe we can ask him something important. "
Then the three of them walked in side by side. During this period, Mason's vigilance had never been relieved.
He pushed open the door with a squeak, but the view inside was dazzling.
Although the house looked a little old and s
wander around again.
With a soft heart, Melissa squatted down and held the old woman's arm. "We're not landlords. We came here for something else. You might have mistaken us, grandma. Get up. The ground is cold."
Hearing the voice of Melissa, the dean raised her head in astonishment and asked, "What? Not a landlord? Then who are you? "
Indeed, when those people came here before, there were no women. There were only strong men. Once they were dissatisfied with something, they would be brutal in minutes.
Most of them were old people and children. Even if they were nuns, they were weak. How dare she fight against them? The nun must have been scared just now, so she misunderstood these people as the landlord.
After gently supporting the old lady to the chair, Melissa began to tell her their purpose, "Yes. Yes, we are just here to ask you something. Grandma, you don't need to worry. We won't do anything to hurt you... I want to ask if there was a child named Jane who was adopted in this welfare house. "
After thinking for a while, the old lady shook her head and denied, "No. We have never had such a child. "
They didn't have so much money to continue to adopt children in the past few years. They had to pay for it themselves. Every time they had one more child, their burden would also increase a lot. So they had been like this all the time.
Hearing this, Melissa and Jane breathed a sigh of relief. It meant that what Bennett said was false, and Jane was his biological daughter!
However, Mason seemed to think of something all of a sudden. He stared at the grandmother's face for a long time, and then reached out to pull Jane over. "It was about twenty years ago. Grandma, look at her. Do you remember her?"
