Chapter 286

Audrey’s POV

“It’s from Evelyn,” she said. “During her final days, she dreamed about you often. After learning you existed, finding you became her greatest wish.”

My fingers trembled as I took the envelope. Inside was a letter written in shaky but careful handwriting:

*Dear Sister,

By the time you read this, I’ll be gone. Though we’ve never met, knowing someone shares my exact DNA brings me strange comfort.

I don’t know what kind of life you’ve lived, but I hope it’s been happier than mine. My life, though brief, was fulfilling – loving parents, a career I loved, and my precious Emma.

My only regret is missing her grow up. If possible, I hope you might care for her. This is just a dying woman’s wish you have every right to refuse.

Whatever you decide, I wish you happiness. Perhaps someday, you’ll tell Emma that she has another mother who loves her, watching from above.

Forever loving you,

Evelyn Knox
