Chapter 58 Entrusted With a Task

She was not pregnant yet. He must continue visiting her!

Nic’s eyes burned with intensity. “Evan’s men have uncovered some information about me. I’m

concerned that they might track me down.”

“He’s still investigating?” Daniella asked

He nodded. “Not only that, I found out I was being followed here.”

Daniella was taken aback, almost jumping up. “Then why did you still come?”

“Keep pushing me, and you’ll meet your end!” His glare was chilling. “You’ll live only as long as I

allow it, and you’ll die when I decide!”

Suppressing her anger, she clenched her teeth. She despised her inability to fight him.

For now, she had no choice but to obey him, like an obedient girl

But once she became pregnant, she vowed to silence him forever.

There was no way she would let a man who knew her deepest secrets continue to exist.

Taking a deep breath, she asked, “What do we do now?”

A faint smirk appeared on his lips. “I want to capture those who followed me before Evan finds out.

On Wednesday, Caroline went for a check–up at the suburban hospital.

As she discovered her baby was healthy, her spirits lifted.

During her journey back home, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

“Hello, is this Caroline Shenton?‘ the voice on the other end inquired.

Caroline was cautious and suspicious. “Who is this?”

“I am your mother’s trustee. I wonder if you have a moment for me to deliver a letter.”

Perplexed, she thought to herself, ‘Trustee? When did my mom appoint a trustee?”

Maintaining her skepticism, she continued, “Sure, where shall we meet?”

“Why don’t we meet at Starry Cafe on North Sea Street at 10:30 a.m.7” the caller suggested.

Checking the time, Caroline agreed, ‘Alright, I’ll head there now.”

She arrived promptly at the cafe.

As she entered, a bespectacled middle–aged man stood up and waved to catch her attention.

Her guard immediately went up when she saw the strange man.

He recognized me the moment I walked in?‘

However, the presence of other patrons put her slightly at ease.

Approaching him, she noticed an envelope placed on the table.

Taking a seat, she greeted him, “Hello.”

The middle–aged man smiled. “Hello, Caroline.”

He then handed her a business card. I am Mr. Hall.

Caroline was direct. “Mr. Hall, could you please tell me your connection to my mother?”

“We have no personal relationship. I am merely entrusted with a task,” Mason Hall explained.

“You mentioned my mother wrote a letter for me,” she said and looked at the envelope, “Is this it?”

He nodded and slid the envelope across the table. “She prepared this a year ago. She told me to

deliver the letter to you if she dies from her illness. My mission is now complete.”

Caroline was taken aback. A year ago…

She swiftly opened the envelope and retrieved the letter enclosed within.

The letter read-

[My dearest Carol,

By the time you read this letter, I will have departed to another world.

Time has flown by, and you have grown into a remarkable person in the blink of an eye.

I wrote this knowing that I am losing my battle with cancer. Please don’t resent me for leaving you

behind. Take care of yourself while I am gone.

What I am about to reveal has been a secret for two decades. You may hate me and hold me responsible once you discover the truth.

Carol, you are not my biological child, nor are you Bradley’s.

I adopted you from an orphanage. However, I cannot disclose the identity of your birth parents,

because nothing good comes from knowing it.

I understand that you may be driven to investigate, and I can’t stop you, but I implore you to refrain from uncovering their identities and the circumstances of their death until you possess the power to do so.

The person to whom I entrusted this secret is capable. Seek his assistance if you ever need clues in the future.

Carol, you will spend future New Year’s celebrations without family, but fear not. I will bless you from above. 1

That is all I have to say. I don’t know much. but I have shared all that I can.

Remember this, my child!

Do not investigate the identity of your parents until you you possess the power and capability! Don’t forget that!

With all my love, Katie.]

Contained within the concise, single–page letter were profound expressions of Katie’s love and longing for Caroline.

At the same time, it conveyed astonishing revelations that shattered Caroline’s perception of reality.

She was not her mother’s biological child?

How could this even be possible?
