The matter of her family background was a sensitive issue for Natalie, so she was grateful for the other woman was consideration

But she sensed no malice from Johanna, so after a moment’s hesitation, Natalie decided to answer her question.

“l was adopted by the Quinn family. As for my biological parents, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I have no idea who they are.” Her voice instinctively quieted down as she spoke, and the words fell heavy between them.

Johanna’s face immediately changed. A mix of complicated emotions flashed across her eyes.

“Are you saying that you’re adopted?” she asked urgently, as if to confirm a crucial truth.

Johanna suddenly got overly emotional, which had a way of overwhelming Natalie, who then said in a gentle voice

“Yes, it’s true. I was adopted by the Quinn family.”

Tears started to well up in Johanna’s eyes. She patted Natalie’s shoulder and went on to ask, “How did the Quinn family adopt you?”

Natalie shook her head. Her memory of it was long gone. Besides, she didn’t want to recall such sad memories from her childhood, so she had been deliberately avoiding thinking about what happened in the past.
