President's Substitute Wife

When Inez talked about the past, her mental state seemed to change.

She was pushed away by the police at the detention house. When she heard me calling her, she turned to me and said, “I will never tell you! Ha ha!”

Inez laughed and was taken away.

I sat there and was in a complicated mood.

How come?

I was not her daughter.

But so many things made sense.

I doubted before. She gave birth to twins. How could she have left only one child?

It turned out that Inez had only one child.

While I was sitting inside, Ming came in. He patted me on the shoulder and asked, “what’s the matter?”

“I...” I looked up at him and my eyes were complicated, “Inez said I’m not her own daughter. My biological mother is someone else.”

After listening to my words, Ming was also surprised, “how could it be?”

“I think so, but it’s true. Molly and I are twins. No hospital would be so negligent as to send one of the two children to an orphanage.”

“What did she tell you?”

Ming asked me.

I watched the door Inez left. I hesitated for a moment and said, “let’s go out and talk.”

I was confused here. I couldn’t think at all.

Ming accompanied me out of the prison. I stood outside the prison and told Ming what Inez had just said.

After that, I looked at him and begged, “can you help me find out who my biological mother is?”

“OK.” Ming agreed without hesitation.
