With tears streaming down Mrs. Stone’s face, Serenity handed her a tissue and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Stone p>
“Serenity p>
Mrs. Stone grasped her hands, choking on her sobs. “I’m so sorry about your childhood. I wish I had found you sooner. Maybe your mom wouldn’t have died if I had tracked you down earlier p>
Had her sister been located sooner, Mrs. Stone would have brought her to live in the city. Then, her sister would never have lost her life, along with her husband, in a tragic car accident in that small town.
Although the DNA test had not yet been conducted, Serenity felt a lump in her throat and tears welling up in her eyes as she listened to Mrs. Stone’s words.
It would have been wonderful if her mom were still alive.
“Stop crying, Mom. Dad asked me to keep an eye on you and not let you cry. You were crying all day yesterday p>
Elisa took the tissue from Serenity and gently dried her mother’s tears while comforting her. “Mom, you can take the DNA test with Serenity. If it comes back positive, at least you still have Serenity and Liberty p>
Mrs. Stone wiped her tears away. “I can’t help but get emotional p>
Back then, Mrs. Stone and her sister had also lost both their parents at a young age. Lacking the means to care for her sister, Mrs. Stone had to be separated from her.
The separation lasted for fifty long years. Now that Mrs. Stone had finally received news about her sister, she discovered that her sister was long gone.
Despite being known as a strong and resilient woman, Mrs. Stone was overwhelmed with grief.
heartbroken.
She felt a deep resentment toward the world’s unfairness.
The two girls put in considerable effort to calm Mrs. Stone before Serenity could contact Liberty. After hearing her sister’s thoughts, Serenity agreed to undergo the DNA test with Mrs. Stone.
“I’ll watch the shop for you,” Elisa offered.
Serenity grabbed the car keys and walked around the cash register, saying, “I’ll close the shop. Let me treat you to lunch later p>
Thinking of her craftwork, Serenity returned and picked up a few items to give to Mrs. Stone. “Mrs. Stone, I made these myself. They may not be worth much, but they’re my creations. These are for you p>
Mrs. Stone accepted the crafts and praised her, saying, “Your handiwork is beautiful. I love them p>
“That’s not fair, Serenity. You only gave me a maneki-neko while my mom received several. They’re prettier than mine,” Elisa complained.
Mrs. Stone replied, “You can place an order through Serenity’s online shop if you want more p>
Serenity smiled and said, “Let me know what you’d like. I’ll make a few to your preference p>
Elisa’s maneki-neko was originally intended for Zachary, but Serenity gave it to Elisa instead, causing Zachary to throw a tantrum over it.
“I need to go back and think about it. I’ll let you know once I have an idea. I’ll order through your website to help boost your sales p>
These little knick-knacks may not have been worth much money, but they were exquisite. Elisa was a big fan and had the funds to purchase them. She would order from Serenity as long as Serenity could create them.
“Thank you in advance. I owe you for recommending my business everywhere p>
Serenity took the mother and daughter out before closing the shop.
“Elisa, I’ll ride in Serenity’s car p>
Mrs. Stone wanted to learn more about her sister, so she chose to ride with Serenity to the DNA testing center.
“Look at my mom, Serenity. She’s choosing you over me even before the test results are out p>
Serenity burst into laughter. “Mrs. Stone will always love you the most.” Elisa was deeply cherished by the Stone family.
