Chapter 703: It Was Her

Chapter 703: It Was Her

After leaving the Reed family, Tina first called Marie to tell her she was taking Sophia out to play. By the time she arrived, Sophia was already waiting at the door. Seeing Tina, Sophia was very happy, exclaiming, "Tina, I missed you so much!" Tina, warmed by the affectionate greetings from her and Zackary, took a hand of each and walked on. Sally's home was in a suburb, quite far away.

Following the address given by Jennie, Tina discovered it was a very dilapidated neighborhood. Sally lived in a storage room beneath the complex, rented because she couldn't afford the rent for anything better, as Jennie had said. Tina knocked on the door which was quickly opened by a woman in her thirties, looking very worn out. Her clothes, washed countless times, had yellowed. At the sight of the woman, Tina froze. It was her! Years ago in Ensford, her mother, concealing her identity, was driven out of their home by Elizabeth. It was raining heavily, and with no cars near the mansion, she and her mother had nowhere to shelter.

By chance, a woman driving by offered to help. At that moment, they truly needed assistance. Unbeknownst to her, a single call from her mother could have easily resolved their predicament, but her mother couldn't expose her identity or contact any of her subordinates, making the stranger's help invaluable.

They only learned that the woman was a tourist caught in the Ensford downpour after they got into her car.

Dressed elegantly and with a kind heart, the woman checked them into a hotel and ordered them a meal. When the rain stopped the next day, the woman left them $5000, explaining she wouldn't stay in Ensford for long, and although she couldn't help further, she hoped they might meet again if fate allowed.

To that woman, $5000 might not have been significant, but for Tina and Natalie, it was a timely blessing.

Natalie, holding the money, earnestly told her that if fate allowed them to meet the woman again, they must repay her double. Tina had always remembered this. After reuniting with Natalie, Tina mentioned this story, questioning why her mother, despite her need to hide, couldn't just make money.

Natalie explained that indeed, she could make millions in no time, mere "pills" to her. However, back then, agents from GTO and X Bureau were searching for her. Using her abilities might have led to her capture; while she wasn't afraid for herself, she was terrified of not being able to protect Tina.

"Zackary, Sophia, what brings you here?"

Mrs. Dyer was surprised to see Zackary and Sophia. Jennie hadn't told her that Tina was taking Sally out, so she was unaware.

"Mrs. Dyer, we came to play with Sally," Sophia politely said. Mrs. Dyer smiled, "Thank you."

Then, looking at Tina, she asked, "And who is this?"
