Pattie’s hair used to be thick, hiding the small birthmark. It would be impossible to notice it if she didn’t shave her hair.

The more Salma stared at it, the more excited she became; a theory began to form in her mind. Pattie might well be the granddaughter she lost all those years ago. Such a distinct birthmark could not be a mere coincidence. Surely no one else could have one that was identical to her granddaughter’s.

“Anna, Anna, come here,” Salma called out to Anastasia. Her excitement was palpable.

“What is it, mom?” Anastasia asked, seeing the strange expression on Salma’s face.

“Look at this.” Salma pulled Anastasia closer to observe the birthmark on Pattie’s head. Her excitement was barely concealed. “Do you see this heart-shaped mark?”

“Hmm, I never noticed it before.” Anastasia admitted. It was her first time noticing the heart-shaped birthmark on Pattie’s head. But it was just a birthmark. Why was Salma so excited?

Salma laughed excitedly, “Your daughter, Anna. The child you gave birth to all those years ago, has the same birthmark on her head. I remember clearly because I was the one who put her bonnet on.”

Her words were like a bombshell. Anastasia stammered, “Mom, are you saying that Pattie is my daughter?”

“Yes, it can’t be a coincidence. The same heart-shaped birthmark in the same location.” Salma was so excited that her eyes began to glisten with tears. “I’m certain of it. Pattie looks just like you did when you were a child. And remember, Pattie is an orphan too. She’s about to turn five. It all lines up.”

This was a lot for Anastasia to take in, and it was all too sudden.

“Pattie’s biological parents died in a car accident. That’s how she ended up in the orphanage.” Anastasia mumbled, struggling to believe it. “How can Pattie be my daughter? And what about Layna?”

Despite her words, Anastasia was beginning to believe it, because Salma herself had identified Pattie, and because Pattie gave her a sense of familiarity, that’s like they had been mother and daughter in a past life.

Anastasia said excitedly, “Let’s get a DNA test. I’ll ask the doctor to do it right now.”

Salma was equally thrilled. If Pattie truly was her granddaughter, it would be wonderful.

“I’ll go find the doctor,” Salma said.
