Chapter 1761 Lilin nodded honestly. "Miss Emily, any normal person would be scared out of their wits when you knocked on our door at this time. | almost entertained the thought that you teleported from Molomia." Emily smiled apologetically and lowered herself to embrace Lilin. "I'm really sorry... | didn't mean to startle you.
Here's the thing. When | saw the portrait your mom senttoday, it looked exactly like my daughter. | hurriedly bought a plane ticket and flew over to find you guys." Lilin was stunned as she began to connect the dots. 'Miss Corinne is probably Miss Emily's daughter who she thought was dead! No wonder Dad's people didn't do anything to stop her. They recognized her to be Mom's best friend." Melinda looked at her best friend and sighed. She carried Emily's suitcase in and slowly closed the door.
"Emily, please have a seat. Letget you a cup of warm water," said Melinda.
Emily stood up and shook her head. "Don't bother with the water, Melinda. Taketo Corinne now. | want to see her as soon as possible." Melinda was a bit overwhelmed. "I'd love to take you to meet her, but look at the tnow. Visiting someone at four in the morning might make US seem a bit...eccentric, don't you think?" It was only then that Emily realized the awkwardness of the hour and sat somewhat absentmindedly on the sofa.

Oh... right... | can't freak her out. She's quite timid..." In matters concerning her daughter, Emily, who had always been elegant and dignified, found herself in a situation where she becvisibly flustered as if she transformed into a different person, completely lost and bewildered.
Lilin sat beside Emily and shook her head. "You're wrong, Miss Emily. Miss Corinne isn't timid at all. She's an independent and brave woman!" [x] Emily stared at Lilin in a daze and asked, "Is she truly?" Lilin nodded confidently. "Yes! Like | told you, Corinne risked her life to save my mommy. She's not only brave but also very kind!" Emily teared up yet she managed to hold back her tears. Her heart seemed. to be engulfed by a complex mix-of emotions. After examining the portrait painted by Lilin, she had a strong gut feeling that the woman in the portrait was her beloved daughter, Luna.
However, as she listened to Lilin's description of the girl, a hint of doubt welled up in her heart. In her memories, Luna used to be a timid girl, afraid to engage with strangers. Whenever there were guests at home, she always hid behind her brother, reluctant to greet anyone.
From the moment of her birth, Luna had been the apple of the Riveras' eye and received the utmost care, especially from Lucas. He showered his precious sister with care, remaining highly vigilant against anything that could pose a threat to Luna. He would never allow anyone or anything that Luna disliked to step into their home, prioritizing her protection above all else.
Therefore, she could not imagine how the once timid, innocent daughter evolved into an independent and brave adult.
Emily entrusted her daughter to an old classmate and asked him to care for her for a period of time. Afterward, when her trouble subsided, she quickly went to retrieve her daughter.
However, the old classmate told her that the child had unfortunately passed away due to illness and that they had buried her. Overwhelmed with grief, she blamed herself incessantly and went to Luna's resting place. She went to her ' ] q daughter's resting place with the thought of bringing back her ashes.

At that time, the Carews had not erected a tombstone for the daughter. As they were not relatives of the girl, they did not know how to inscribe the words on the gravestone, so they decided to wait for Emily to cand decide personally. She struggled to imagine the suffering her daughter endured in iliness, and she could no longer bear to part with the girl who had once been the apple of her eye. Therefore, she left with her daughter's ashes.
For many years, she believed that her daughter had passed away. She never thought her daughter was alive after all this time.
How is this possible? Why would the Carews lie to me? Why would they claim Luna died of illness and refuse to tell me where she is? Various questions rose one by one in Emily's mind. She hated herself for not thoroughly investigating and blindly believing their words at that time! If that girl Luna was truly her daughter...
