After half an hour, Titus reached home. The butler came up to greet him and he handed his coat over, asking, “Are Miss and Mrs. Gray home?”

“They’re in Miss Gray’s room, sir,” the butler answered after draping the coat over his arm.

After a hum of understanding, Titus headed toward the staircase.

Meanwhile in the room upstairs, Julia and Tina were sitting at the foot of the bed flipping through a photo album together. Pointing at a picture of herself, Tina asked, “Do you remember this photo, Mom?”

 

Fondly stroking her daughter’s long hair, Julia replied, “Of course I do. You were six when we took this picture. You liked playing hide-and-seek that year and no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t find you. I was so scared that I lost you, but it turned out that you fell asleep hiding in the attic.”

“I remember. When I woke up, I came down from the attic by myself to find you crying. You had even lodged a police report,” Tina recalled.

The smile on Julia’s face faded and there was a touch of hatred in the bottom of her eyes. How could she not cry out of panic and file a police report when she couldn’t find her child? At the time, she even thought Henry had kidnapped Tina. It was a good thing that it turned out to be a false scare in the end.

Presently, Tina flipped a page. All of a sudden, a yellowed photograph fluttered out of the photo album and landed on the floor. She bent down to pick it up. There was an infant of a few months old in the photograph. The baby was smiling widely and looked adorable, and a single glance would endear anyone to it.

However, for some reason, Tina did not like this baby at all. In fact, she disliked and even hated this baby a little. Nevertheless, she didn’t show it and only handed the photograph to her mother, asking with a smile, “Is this Rina?”
