Chapter 628: I Finally See You

In the Farrell household, Marie had just picked up Sophia from school and was preparing to enjoy some afternoon snacks and anime together. However, the incessant ringing of the doorbell interrupted their plans. "Mrs. Brown, who is it?" Marie called out.

Mrs. Brown stammered, "Madam, perhaps you should come and see for yourself, this..."

Hearing Mrs. Brown's hesitation, Marie hesitated for a moment before setting down the snacks and rising from the sofa.

As she approached the door, she asked, "Who is it really? Why all the secrecy?" But as she reached the door, her steps halted and her expression froze, words caught in her throat, unsure of what to say. The reason was the shocking sight before her, leaving her at a loss for words.

Sophia rushed over. "Mom, what's wrong? Hey, is this person a beggar?"

Sophia looked at the disheveled figure standing at the door, with hair as messy as a lion's mane, a face grimy and indistinct, and clothes emitting a foul odor-it was indeed the appearance of a beggar. More terrifying was the fierce and fearsome scar across the person's face.

Hearing Sophia's words, the person at the door suddenly knelt down, crying out, "Auntie, I finally see you!"

Startled, Sophia instinctively clung tightly to Marie.

Marie quickly regained her composure, handed Sophia over to Mrs. Brown, and approached the beggar. She knelt down and gently brushed the person's hair, "Stephanie, how did you end up like this?" The beggar was none other than Stephanie, the daughter of the Lyon family, Marie's niece!

Stephanie sobbed breathlessly, tears streaking down her face, making her look somewhat comical.

"Auntie, I finally found you, I finally found you!" Stephanie repeated, nearly collapsing to the ground in despair.

Marie didn't ask further questions and quickly asked Mrs. Brown to prepare a bath and fresh clothes.
