"Feeling okay?"
Two bodyguards asked Janice first.
Janice didn't answer them; she was busy coddling the doll in her arms.
Lucinda wasn't sure if this woman was her birth mother, but she had seen her twice in her dreams. Seeing her treat the doll like a child really tore at her heart, so she stepped forward and helped her up again. Janice, being held by Lucinda, looked up at her.
Lucinda looked back.
"Can you check if she's hurt?"
The two bodyguards didn't dare touch Janice, and she wouldn't let them either.
They felt like they recognized the young woman in front of them but couldn't put a finger on where they'd seen her before.
Only when they saw her fancy car did they realize that Janice was out of it. They had been following her and had seen her narrowly escape being hit by a car several times.
That softened their attitudes toward her.
"Baby."
Janice suddenly grabbed Lucinda's hand, holding it tightly, as if letting go meant Lucinda would fly away.
Stefan stayed silent.
Was this woman the one Lucy saw in her dreams?
Was she Lucy's birth mother?
Looking closer, they didn't look alike at all.
"Your hand is bleeding."
Janice was gripping Lucinda's hand so tightly that Lucinda finally noticed her skin was abraded and bleeding.
Lucinda immediately crouched down to check her legs.
Luckily, her legs were fine.
She had just scraped her hands when she fell.
