For the value of this set of jewelry that Adeena wore four years ago to be worth more than all her
belongings... Especially the Heart of the Ocean. The people of Cloud City have heard this name, but no
one had ever seen it before.
“She‘s not an ordinary person,” Jada said coolly, “Because we had to treat your illness, your father and
I stashed away her possessions for fear that her family would come to retrieve her. But your illness has
gotten better, so I‘ve decided to help Adeena find her family. I also don‘t want her to call me mother in
vain.”
“Mom, don‘t you think she may have stolen all these?”
“Who would wear stolen things in public?” Jada asked. “She is also acting so naturally about it, so
she‘s most likely not the daughter of an ordinary family.”
“If that‘s the case, then all the more reason that we can‘t let her marry into the Finnian family and come
into contact with more powerful families.” Ruth had a cunning glint in her eye.
“If she found her family, they would thoroughly investigate the past four years. By then, we won‘t be
able to hide that she almost died when her blood was completely changed, and we can‘t hide how that
led to the premature death of her baby, either.”
Jada pursed her lips. “Aside from the three of us, no one else knows about this matter...”
It was precisely because it had been four years since the incident, and all records of the surgery had
been destroyed, hence why she allowed Adeena to marry into the Finnian family...
And she had been having endless nightmares for the past four years.
To cure her biological daughter‘s illness, she drew out all of Adeena‘s blood and even indirectly killed
her baby. Hence, there was always a child in her nightmares.
She had been plagued by her nightmares for four years and had never gotten a good night‘s sleep
during that time.
Once Adeena was married, through the connections of the Finnian family, she would have access to
the more powerful families of Cloud City. Then, she would be able to find her family.
‘When Adeena reunites with her family, only then will my inner demons be gone...‘
“Don‘t take this jewelry out.” Ruth closed the box. “When she gets married one day, they can be given
to her as a dowry.”
A gloomy look emerged in her eyes. ‘Adeena had always been aloof. If she really finds her family, won‘t
I just get trampled under her feet for the rest of my life?‘ She looked up and happened to see that
Adeena had finished her shower and was going up to read in the study.
Adeena only wore a loose embroidered nightgown with no makeup on her face. Her whole appearance
looked refreshing, which gave her another air of beauty.
She pushed open the door of the study and leaned back against a chair while flipping through an
ancient Gansternian book
When she saw this, Ruth was convinced by what Jada had said. If Adeena was the daughter of an
ordinary family, why would she know the Gansternian language?
Ruth slowly walked to the door of the study and whispered, “Adeena, how are you going to deal with
the issue with Jack?”
Adeena diđ not even raise her head. “I have a recording, so Jack would not dare mess around, let
alone tell his parents. Don‘t worry, this issue won‘t escalate much.”
Sure enough, the matter passed so quietly that, after several days, Jack‘s parents did not even come to
ask for an explanation.
For the past four years, Adeena‘s condition had not been good, and she needed to go to the hospital
every week for a check–up.
Usually, the Willis family‘s servant or Jada would accompany her. Today, she drove alone to the
hospital.
Usually, she went for a consultation at the internal medicine department, but this time, she applied for a
consultation at the gynecology department.
Jack‘s words from that day were still ringing in her ears, and she had not wanted to take him seriously
at first. But last night, she had dreamed of a child covered in blood...
