My Extraordinary Wife

The woman in the picture looked malnourished and thin.

She also looked depressed and was a huge contrast compared to the other smiling women.

However, Alice was born beautiful, so she still looked amazing in the photo, despite being sick.

Ashlyn’s heart couldn’t help thumping wildly.

“How did you get this photo? Where is the woman in the photo? Where is she right now? Is she still in your village?” asked Ashlyn, who could barely contain her emotions at that moment.

Mom… The woman in the photo has to be my mother!

Ashlyn was sure that she hadn’t made a mistake.

“Dr. Berry, this photo was taken on the year I got married. The village organized an event, and we took a group photo. It has been over a decade since the photo was taken. The woman in the photo is no longer around.” Cadence shook her head.

“She’s no longer around? D-do you mean she has passed away?” asked Ashlyn.

All her excitement and happiness had faded in an instance.

“She hasn’t passed. She simply left one day without a word. The guy who bought her said that he sold her to someone else. May I know who she is to you?” asked Cadence curiously.

“She might be my mother,” answered Ashlyn as her eyes reddened. She later took a deep breath to regain her composure and asked, “Cadence, can you tell me the year she went missing?”
