"Our lives are filled with laughter because of her. I'm so thankful that God gave us a daughter."
One named Lucinda, another also named Lucinda. They're both just half a year old, and they’re both as cute as a pair of perfect doubles. For many years, the villagers had no clue that Lucinda was not the original Lucinda.
If it weren't for Lucinda's entry into the Anderson family, the Andersons, with their wealth and power and their vast network of information, wouldn't have found out that Lucinda wasn't actually a blood relative of the Moore family.
Perhaps Vincent was seen when he found Lucinda years ago, but he himself didn't notice it.
After hearing the story of the past, Keith got up, walked over to Vincent and Fiona, and knelt down.
"What are you doing?"
The couple was startled and hurried to help Keith up, but Keith didn't get up.
Lucinda also knelt beside her biological brother, both of them showing their gratitude to Vincent and Fiona.
Janice, holding a doll, was at a loss.
"Thank you for saving my sister's life, for raising her, and for teaching her so well. My dad isn't here, my mom's not in a good mental state, Lucy and I are twins, and as her brother, I'm representing my parents to thank you."
Keith thanked the couple.
Lucinda also tearfully said, "Dad, Mom, thank you for giving me a second chance at life. From what I can remember, you've always taken care of me, treating me even better than your own daughter. Even if I've found my biological parents, I'm still your daughter."
She joined her brother in showing their gratitude to their parents.
"It's a godsend; you don't have to say all this. You've brought us joy too; we should thank you."
Fiona helped Lucinda stand up.
Vincent pulled Keith up.
Janice, holding the doll, watched her children with a puzzled expression, but she wasn't sad. Even after listening to Vincent's recollection of finding Lucinda, she cried, but she couldn't remember her past.
She would just hold the doll tightly, relieved that the baby was still in her arms and not taken by bad guys.
The children she gave birth to, no matter when, even if she couldn't see them for a day, felt like a part of herself had been cut off.
After a while.
Savannah looked at Lucinda and said, "So you're the daughter of the Blue family from Skywatch? I thought you looked familiar; I've met your grandmother a few times."
Keith said that Lucinda had inherited her grandmother's looks.
Savannah's maiden family and the Blue family from Skywatch, although not related by blood, shared the same surname. Decades ago, she had met Grace Blue, and because Grace's husband shared her surname, she felt a kinship with her and still remembered her.
That's why she thought Lucinda looked familiar the first time she saw her.
Similarly, Trenton had also met Grace, so he thought Lucinda looked familiar.
