"That's right," Cora confirmed. "But after all this time, the medical staff I tracked down couldn't remember if the other baby was a boy or a girl. If you want real answers, you'll have to ask your birth parents." Athena acknowledged this with a thoughtful hum, emotions churning in her chest.
Cora added. "Both the Donovan and Kennedy twins were born on the same day. A fire broke out in the hospital early that morning. The staff only managed to save two babies, saying one belonged to the Donovans and the other to the Kennedys.

out of the car and walked up to a nearby pedestrian bridge to get a better look at the situation.
