Amy pulled out her tablet, excitedly handing it to Monbatten. The screen displayed videos and photos of her younger self with the real Keera. Monbatten froze as his gaze landed on the screen. Those eyes—gentle yet filled with determination—were so familiar they stopped him in his tracks.

They belonged to the woman he'd spent that unforgettable night with back in Crera. In disbelief, he turned to Amy, scanning her features more carefully.

For the first time, he noticed she shared a faint resemblance to his mother. The realization hit him like a lightning bolt. Whipping around to face one of his guards, he commanded urgently, "Get me a DNA test with Amy. Now!"

The guard nodded, plucking a strand of Amy's hair before dashing out the door.

Monbatten let out a shaky breath and crouched down to lift Amy into his arms.

Amy didn't squirm or protest. Instead, her tiny hand patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Daddy, you're so late! I've been waiting forever, but it's okay now that you're here."

Her sweet words struck a chord deep in his chest. Monbatten's heart clenched.

This child was far too mature for her age, and it made her all the more endearing.

He ruffled her hair gently and carried her over to the couch, settling down with her. His eyes scanned the lavishly decorated living room before glancing at Keira. "Your home is beautiful," he said politely.

Keira, seated across from him with Lewis by her side, nodded with a small smile. "Thank you."
