Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 450

Johanna suddenly got overly emotional, which had a way of overwhelming Janet, who then said in a gentle voice, "Yes, it's true. I was adopted by the Lind family."

Tears started to well up in Johanna's eyes. She patted Janet's shoulder and went on to ask, "How did the Lind family adopt you?"

Janet shook her head. Her memory of it was long gone.

Besides, she didn't want to recall such sad memories from her childhood, so she had been deliberately avoiding thinking about what happened in the past.

At the same time, Johanna had nothing to do with her. Why was she asking so many questions? Janet was feeling a bit confused about what was going on.

"Mrs. White, if there's nothing else you'd like to talk about, I have to go now." Janet thought that there was no more need to say anymore to a stranger.

More tears welled up in Johanna's eyes. Her hope, which had been long lost, was now back again.

She clutched onto Janet's hand and smiled lovingly at her. "I'm sorry, Janet. I must've scared you just now. I was being too overly emotional."

Seeing this, Janet proceeded to sit down again and said in a resigned tone, "I can't remember what happened that day in the past clearly. I'll have to think it over."

She tried her best to recall the past. She had no idea why this lady suddenly burst into tears, but she had a feeling she might feel better if she told her something.

"I don't know exactly where it was they found me. But I've heard my adoptive father say that I was picked up by an acquaintance of his in Barnes. At that time, there had been an earthquake that turned the whole city into chaos. Many people were seriously hurt, leaving behind a lot of orphans and I happened to be one of them, I suppose. That friend of theirs heard that they wanted to adopt a child. That was why he sent me to them." After having said that, Janet was lost in thoughts.
