Chapter 58 The Dove and the Magpie
Sam’s name was written on her phone screen. Madeline let out a sigh of relief. Great. Now I don’t have to think of what I have to say to Sebastian. “I’ll pick a phone call up,” she told Sebastian with a smile. He nodded.
“Hello? Sam?” Madeline placed the phone by her ear as she walked to a quieter spot.
“Madeline…” Sam started on the other end of the line before pausing for a long while.
Madeline noticed how he sounded rather odd. “Yes, Sam? Is anything the matter?”
“Um… I heard about your birth parents…” Sam muttered.
“Oh… That…” she muttered. “The DNA test results aren’t out yet, so I’m not sure…” She kept telling herself the same thing. She didn’t want to get excited over nothing. If things didn’t turn out the way everyone expected them to, she would be extremely disappointed.
“Dan told me about most of what happened. If it’s true…” Sam paused for a moment. “I’m sorry for all these years, Madeline…”
“It’s no big deal…” Madeline smiled. “It was hard in the past, but now that everything is over, it all feels like a dream now that I look back at it. Once I got through it, it no longer seems that hard anymore…”
