Jessie's gaze wavered. Her smile seemed forced. "Young lady, is your background very important to you?"

Natalie nodded solemnly, saying, "I want to know who my parents are and where I came from. Auntie, do you know about it?"

The hesitation in Jessie's eyes grew deeper.

After a while, she looked at Natalie and said, "Young lady, if your parents aren't alive anymore, would you still want to know about your background?"

Natalie stiffened.

She looked at Jessie in astonishment.

Her parents weren't alive anymore.

Natalie's head buzzed. Her body wobbled.

Tobias strode towards her and held her in his arms. "Natalie, I'm here."

His words were firm and reassuring.

They slowly gave strength to Natalie's limp body.

No matter what, she still had Tobias.

Natalie bit the tip of her tongue.

She looked at Jessie and said clearly, "Auntie, regardless of whether my parents are still alive or not, I want to know about my birth and background; I want to know where I came from and who I really am. Everyone has a place from when they came, and my purpose for coming here is to figure that out."

Jessie had a complicated gaze.

After a while, she let out a long sigh.

"Young lady, I used to work for the government. Back then, I was assigned a task, to send a newborn baby girl to an orphanage. This baby girl had only just been born from her mother's womb, but before she could even get a sip of milk, her mother shot herself in the mouth."
