"Hollis Greene?"

"Vince's first thought was of him.

"Yes," Jessica answered.

The siblings had come to the same realization.

Vince was now certain Jessica was his sister, but he still needed to find out how

she had ended up with the Greene family.

Jessica remembered nothing about her life before the Greenes. Her grandmother

had told her that she'd suffered a severe fever as a child, and that was why her

memories were lost.

As she grew up, she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, most people only

remember fragments from when they were six; some remember a lot, some just

bits and pieces.

There was no memory of Vince in her mind, no warm images of a childhood spent

with an older brother.

She'd never even known she had a brother, so she had never missed him.

Her connection with Vince was only a month or two old, so naturally, her feelings

for him could not run as deep or intense as his for her.

Still, she wanted to understand everything.

Vince, meanwhile, could hardly wait to take Jessica back to Riverside City, to

bring her home, to tell their grandfather that he'd found Salome, to tell their

parents their daughter had come back.

Vince led her to the car, opening the door for her. But as Jessica glanced over,

she remembered Herbert. She quickly walked over to him. "I'm heading back to

Riverside City in a hurry. Are you coming?"

Herbert smiled. "I'm going to visit my family, so I won't be back for a while."

He knew Vince would want to bring Jessica home, to introduce her to their family,

and that would take time. He didn't want to intrude on their reunion.
