Barbara's eyes widened. "Why would I lie? Rainie is our daughter... Are you messing with us now?"

Zachary said unhurriedly, "I have proof. That's why I said that. N

Barbara panicked then and hurried off to her husband, Tobias Lang.

As they conferred with each other in their room, Zachary simply waited outside without hurrying them.

Still, it took a while for them to return, and Tobias asked," Who are you?"

"I stayed here because I recognized her and came to investigate her identity," Zachary admitted. "Be honest and I

won't make things hard for you, but if you insist on denying it, you can't blame me if I get rough."

Nonetheless, Barbara and Tobias had made their choice after discussing it in their room.

Rainie Lang was not actually their daughter, and they could not hide it any longer now that someone came

knocking on their doorstep.

Moreover, the rest of the village knew that, since a stranger suddenly appeared in their house. Zachary just needed

to ask around for proof.

"Could you tell me who you are to her?" Tobias asked.

"Family," Zachary replied.

Barbara sighed then. "We fished her out of the sea, but she had no memories-the doctors claim that she had brain

damage from losing too much oxygen."

Zachary slowly clenched his fists at his side.

"So you kept her here all this while?"

There was no accusation in his words-in fact, he was grateful, because Lulu might really have been killed if not for

Barbara and Tobias!

"...Yes," Barbara said. "She's forgotten where she's from or even her name, so we allowed her to stay.

"Actually, we had a reason for keeping her," she paused, her voice choking with tears as she confessed, "My

husband and I only had one child, but he drowned in the ocean when he was twelve. It almost killed us, and even

when we tried to have another, the doctor told me after a check up that I was infertile, denying us from having

more children in this lifetime... and though we resigned ourselves to that fate, Rainie suddenly came to us."

"We named her so because it was pouring the day we saved her, and we used our husband's last name for her.

We've been caring for her as if she's our own daughter ever since and we've let her stay here with us, but we never

called the cops or tried looking for her real family..."

"Thanks for telling the truth," Zachary said then, "but more than that, thank you for saving her and taking you in. If

there's anything you want. I'll grant it as long as it's within my abilities."

"Oh, we're fine," Barbara said. "We're self-sufficient with this homestay, and we'd never go hungry. What good is

getting rich too? We have no children to inherit our fortune."

Zachary pursed his lips in silence.

Barbara was right, but he could not give them a child.

"You can take her with you. You know where she works, don't you? You can find her there!"

With that, she and Tobias headed to their rooms.

Zachary put a business card on the front desk. "Call me if you need me."

There was no reply, but he could tell that the people inside heard him.

After that, Zachary intercepted Rainie while she was leaving work and showed her a photo of Lulu from university,

which he had kept all this while.

Rainie saw it, and she said, "Oh? She looks just like me..."
