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.

Before this, Elspeth only had a vague glance at Helen. Still, she felt a connection with the poor woman. She already knew that there were definitely some similarities between them, so she was convinced that Helen was her mother.

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.”

When Elspeth heard her name, she wasn’t just shocked. The reveal was so out of this world that she froze in utter astonishment.

Helia Joneson?

Wasn’t she the aunt who jumped off a building and died?

“Are you sure? Didn’t you commit suicide decades ago?”

Right now, Elspeth couldn’t even bother to word her sentence nicely as she all but pressed for answers.

“I did commit suicide more than 20 years ago, but I didn’t die.” Helia sighed. “The thing is…”

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