Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 488 Carved Out Of the Same Mold

Elspeth felt as if there was no need for a stupid DNA test. She could immediately tell that this person right before her was her birth mother.

“Madam, you…” Elspeth blurted, utterly overwhelmed by a tidal wave of emotions.

After all, they had the same blood and a similar face, so there was no room for doubt.

And now, the woman in front of her looked as if she was carved out of the same mold as Elspeth!

“Madam, what’s your name?”

The woman in front of her couldn’t control her emotions any longer, and her tears fell from her eyes. “Helia Joneson.”

Finally, Helia sat on the couch and opened up to the couple about what happened to her in detail.
