Chapter 5 - Uncanny Resemblance (2) (2/2)

I quickly washed myself clean and left the bathroom feeling refreshed. Somehow, I feel much lighter. I feel like a different person and I don’t know why. It has also been a while since I wore such a nice dress.

When the handmaiden saw me, she looked even more peculiar than the first time she saw. She bit her lower lip and looked as if she was holding back her tears.

Why is she crying?

Did she also mistake me for someone else like John and Joshua?

“I will show you where the master resides…”

She said, her voice faint and solemn.

I nodded and followed her.

We soon stopped in front of a door and she stared at me for a long time.

Finally, she spoke.

“You look so much like her.”

“What?”

I asked, but the maid shook her head from side to side.

The maid hurriedly opened the door and left quickly as if to prevent me asking asking further questions. Sighing, I walked inside. No sooner had I entered the room, I saw him, John Lancaster. He sat on the sofa, legs crossed over. His eyes looked over and met mines.

Then…

His face fell and bore a deep look of longing similar to the way the maid looked at me.
