“Are you really okay?” Fabian was still worried, seeing how Hannah was acting.
Nevertheless, Hannah nodded without saying anything.
Fabian let out a sigh but said nothing more, walking out of the washroom.
The two of them quickly got everything ready and head off to Hannah’s house.
In the car, Hannah repeatedly visualized her meeting with her biological parents. Do you feel guilty for abandoning me? Was it an accident? If so, why are you only here now? If it was intentional, why reunite with me now?
Hannah had always been a pessimist; she was always prepared for the worst-case scenario. That’s why she would always be able to keep her cool.
In this situation right now, the worst-case scenario would be that they intentionally abandoned me. They’re only looking for me now because the family was facing a crisis and needed help from me. What would that crisis be then?
Hannah shook her head. We’ll see. Things might not be as bad as I think.
On the other hand, Fabian was hand had been on his phone, tapping away as he sent out messages after messages.
He sneaked a glance at Hannah as she was dazed, concerned about how she was doing. Fabian already knew the full story and thought that Hannah’s biological parents were too merciless. Even if she’s a girl, she’s still your daughter.
Even so, it was Hannah’s decision to make. Fabian knew what was going on and could not agree with it, but he had no right to stop Hannah. He did not want to anyway.
The car sped on the road, and the scenery outside changed rapidly, reflecting Hannah’s current state of mind, anxious and conflicting.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Hannah’s foster parents’ house. When they stepped inside, A middle-aged woman immediately came and pulled Hannah by the hands. “Hannah! You’re back!”
It was Gillian, Hannah’s foster mother. She was not really well educated, but she taught Hannah a lot and cared about her for all those years.
“I’m back, Mom. How are you feeling?”
As Hannah spoke, waves of warmth pulsated throughout her body. Hannah was immensely grateful to all the love that Gillian gave her. I would never be able to fully repay you for all that you’ve done for me.
Naturally, Hannah showed no signs of hesitation, answering her mother’s questions while inspecting her to see if anything was wrong.
“Everything’s alright. Don’t worry…” Gillian was happy to hear how her daughter was concerned about her, but she was interrupted by a potbellied middle-aged man.
“So, this is Hannah?”
“Yes, I’m Hannah Young.” There was a flash of detest in Hannah’s eyes, but her response was polite.
Right after her introduction, Hannah ignored the man and turned back to her mother. “Mom, who’s this man?”
Truth be told, Hannah had already guessed the man’s identity, but she still wanted to ask.
“He’s your biological father. The birthmark you have and the time… The time your father got you, they both match his statement,” Gillian said with a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
She had been treating Hannah as her own daughter for so many years now, and she actually envisioned the day where someone would come looking for Hannah. However, it had been twenty years, Hannah’s parents did not show up for over two decades, but suddenly appeared out of nowhere when Gillian was planning to arrange a blind date for Hannah.
Even though she knew Hannah was not the ungrateful type, part of her still thought that the daughter that she raised was about to be taken away from her.
