Chapter 199 - Chapter 199: Chapter One-Hundred and Ninety-Nine: Photograph (2/2)

Shi Nian frowned. “Is there a problem? Why are you suddenly interested in the photos?”

Hai Hua softly exhaled. “Yun Nan, to tell you the truth, I was shocked when I first saw this embroidered portrait because your mother looks very much like my aunt! They look so alike!”

Yun Nan was too stunned to react. Shi Nian questioned, “What do you mean?”

Hai Hua told them, “My aunt’s family only had one daughter. She was kidnapped when she was a child. My aunt and uncle have been looking for her for their entire lives. However, you guys know that if a child is lost, it’s very unlikely to find them. Even if you have a lot of money, it won’t do you any good in such cases. There hasn’t been news about my cousin for decades. *Sigh* My aunt and uncle’s health hasn’t been good these days, and they miss their daughter more than ever.”

Yun Nan’s heart suddenly quivered, and she pulled Hai Hua towards the stairs. “Hai Hua, come with me!”

She quickly ran upstairs and went into the bedroom to rummage through the metal boxes she’d collected when she was young. She found five or six yellowed photos and handed them to Hai Hua as she anxiously said, “I also have a few photos of the three of us together; they’re at my home in Rong City. I’ll show them to you when we get back.”

Hai Hua took the photos and looked at them under the light. Her eyes became a little wet as she stared at them. She sat on the floor as Yun Nan did, held the photos, and said, “Yun Nan, your mother really resembles my aunt when she was young. I really think that they look exactly the same.”

Yun Nan could feel her breathing become lighter. She couldn’t believe it; she was afraid that if she breathed a little too hard, all this before her would disappear.

“Hai Hua, my mother’s biggest regret was that she didn’t find her biological parents,” Yun Nan uttered softly.

Hai Hua nodded. Yun Nan inquired, “Hai Hua, do you think… Is it possible… that my mother is your aunt’s daughter?”

Hai Hua smiled wryly as she held the photos and shook her head lightly. “I don’t know. Yun Nan, they’ve been looking for their child for decades, and us relatives feel sorry for them. When I suddenly saw your mother’s pictul and thought of this possibility, to be honest, Yun Nan, I couldn’t believe it. aunt and uncle have experienced too many disappointments in their lives, too many.”

Yun Nan nodded. “I know; I understand. My parents have been searching for my mother and I’s biological parents all their lives. We know the feeling all too well; from when hope was ignited to when it was shattered, over and over again—it was too torturous. My mother was always the fastest to adjust her mood to welcome the next round of hope and disappointment.”

The two didn’t speak for a long time. Shi Nian looked at the two sad women and said, “That’s enough moping. Let’s think of a way to verify it.”

Hai Hua raised her head. “I called my aunt earlier today. They should be on their way.. “
