at her.”So that’s how it is. Winnie’s gaze darkened. “No wonder you didn’t recognize her.”“What do you mean, Winnie?” Rufus stared at Winnie with a perplexed look. “Are you saying I’ve already met Stuart’s mother? But isn’t she dead?”Winnie forced a smile. “To be honest, I hope she’s not who we suspect she is. We were nearly done with our investigation, but a crucial piece of evidence was destroyed in a fire.

I need some time to straighten out this mess too.”Winnie and Josiah rushed to the hospital.Running a DNA test would take at least three hours, so the two had no choice but to wait outside the laboratory.Winnie wasn’t in the mood to talk during the wait. She decided to
