Sophie Allen was taken aback, feeling even more bewildered.
Jason Thompson revealed a kindly smile. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were filled with joy at finding his granddaughter. "Yes, indeed, twenty years have passed, and I had no idea you existed. It was really by chance that I found you now."
"You’ve suffered so much over the past twenty years!"
As Jason spoke, his yellowed eyes grew moist.
Somehow, despite not recognizing the man in front of her, when he choked up, Sophie felt a sharp, sudden pain in her heart.
Could this be what’s call familial bond?
Moved as if by some unseen force, Sophie reached out to wipe away the tears at the corner of Jason’s eyes. "Don’t cry."
Yet this gesture only made the old man cry harder.
Only when Jason had calmed down did Sophie express her confusion.
"I...I always thought my mother was an orphan, that I didn’t have grandparents..."
This kind of plot twist showed up in television dramas, but now it was happening to her.
Her mother had once told her that she was all alone in the world, and had grown up in an orphanage. She thought she had been abandoned. Her parents merely left her a name, written on a piece of paper, hidden inside her clothing.
Because of that piece of paper, the orphanage director had used the name--- Sophia Thompson.
"Did you abandon my mom back then?" Sophie hurriedly asked.
Jordan hastily shook his head, he wiped away his painful tears, crying uncontrollably, "No, not at all. If I had known I had a daughter, I would never have abandoned her. I would have raised her like a princess..." Follow current novels on novel·fire.net
Mentioning this, Jason, in his old age, started crying like a child.
The expressions on everyone present were extremely solemn.
Only Sophie was still in a state of confusion.
At this moment, Jordan stepped forward to explain everything that had happened from beginning to end.
"Sister, the grandmother I’ve told you about, who you closely resemble, is your maternal grandma--- Artsy Ellis."
Just half a month ago, when Jordan first saw Sophie, he was struck by how closely she resembled Grandma. He immediately contacted his eldest brother, Henry Thompson, to investigate Sophie’s background.
After taking several twists and turns, they finally confirmed that Sophie was Sophia Thompson’s daughter.
The key information was that Sophia Thompson, though an orphan, was the biological daughter of Artsy Ellis.
Sophia had once d blood. Fortunately, a sample was still preserved in the blood bank. Henry retrieved Sophia’s blood, DNA tested it with Jason and confirmed that she was the biological child of Jason and Artsy Ellis.
When it was confirmed, Jordan didn’t waste a second, immediately trying to contact Sophie through social media, but received no reply.
He had no choice but to go search for her at the Blue Tone.
Unfortunately, he found out Sophie wasn’t feeling well and was resting.
He went to the underground garage where she rented space but he still couldn’t find her.
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Jordan leveraged the influence of the Thompson Family, obtained several surveillance videos, thereby tracing her to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of town.
"Sister, when we found you, you were beaten up so badly, barely hanging on to life. I was scared to death!"
Even as Jordan spoke, his face still showed a lingering look of fear.
Jordan had saved her, so naturally, Sophie was grateful.
"So, that’s how it is, but..."
Sophie was puzzled. "Grandpa, how did my mother get separated from you? You haven’t been able to find her all these years?"
Mention of this made Jason sigh deeply.
"It’s a long story, mainly due to my impulsive youth and your grandmother’s stubborn temperament."
Jason recounted the events from those days, and Sophie finally began to understand...
