It’s what caused the clue to come to a standstill at a certain point, and it couldn’t progress any further, wasting so many years."
As Gary White spoke up to this point, he looked at Joanna Lawrence again with a complicated gaze, "You’re also from Closia, and when I first saw you, I inexplicably felt fond of you. You feel like my sister. So, I’ve been thinking, could you really be my sister?"
"But it’s impossible, right?" Gary White forced a smile and sighed, "My sister was adopted, so how could you be her?"
Joanna was silent for a while, and somehow, she felt a little sad.
She knew she shouldn’t have such emotions.
Perhaps soon, Gary White would find his sister.
And their family would be reunited.
This was a joyous event worthy of celebration, and she should be happy for Gary White.
After all, she was well aware of how much he wanted a sister and how much he cared about the sister who had been lost for many years.
His whole family had been looking for that girl for over ten years.
One could imagine how important that girl was to their family.
But, she found that she couldn’t seem to be happy.
Instead, there was a faint feeling of loss in her heart.
Once Gary White found his sister, all his future affection would surely be devoted to her, right?
Could she, a person who reminded him of his sister, still receive such warm and attentive treatment?
Would he still treat her this well as he does now?
With his biological sister back by his side, there was no way he would treat an outsider so well.
In fact, all of this was quite normal, and she could understand it.
But deep down, she couldn’t help but feel sad and at a loss.
If he had never treated her well, she wouldn’t have felt anything, but these past few days, he had treated her like a gentle mentor, doing so many things that warmed her heart, making her suddenly greedy.
She became attached to this warmth and kindness.
So that was why, upon hearing Gary White mention having clues to find his sister, she suddenly experienced a sense of loss.
People truly are greedy creatures.
It was only just these past few days that Gary White had been good to her, and she had already developed attachment and reluctance to let go.
"Mr. White, well... congratulations," she suppressed the sourness at the bottom of her heart and squeezed a smile from the corner of her lips, unwilling to let her emotions show too obviously, "It seems that soon, your family will be reunited. It really is a great joyous event worth celebrating."
"Yes, indeed it is." Gary White nodded, "Our family has been searching for her for eighteen long years, and now we finally have a clue. Joanna, I think you’re my lucky star."
Joanna was startled, "Why do you say that?"
He chuckled, "Didn’t you say before that our family would be reunited soon? Well, as soon as you said it, we found the clue quickly. Isn’t that lucky? I always have the feeling that you brought me this good fortune."
"We searched for eighteen years and never found any clues, but soon after meeting you, we found one. Joanna, you bring good luck to those around you, so you don’t have to worry anymore. I believe Maddox Allenson will be just fine."
Was she really a lucky star?
Joanna recalled how Maddox Allenson was injured because of her and slightly hooked her lips in self-mockery.
