When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 996: Reunion

"Any good news you’d like to share with me?" Mrs. Xavier, gentle and kindhearted, gazed at the young couple with a smile in her eyes.

Afraid they might be too shy to speak up, she initiated the conversation, her gaze full of anticipation.

From the bottom of her heart, she was ready to accept Gia as her daughter-in-law, so her gaze at her son was filled with support and affirmation. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

When she looked at Gia, her eyes were full of love and approval.

Clearly, the mother misunderstood.

Gia met her gaze, already aware that she was her daughter, and at this moment, emotions surged within her...

Just staring at her biological mother, the girl’s nose tingled, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

Her chest rapidly rose and fell, revealing deep unease... she was so afraid this was an illusion, a beautiful dream that would shatter upon touch.

Nathan Xavier handed over the identification report, "Mother, I have finally found my sister. She’s right in front of you, Gia is Shane. Here is the identification report." His voice appeared calm but trembled slightly with excitement.

What?

Mrs. Xavier looked at her son, not immediately reaching out to take the report, her eyes wide with shock, her mouth slightly agape!

Daughter? Shane? Is Gia?

This...

Nathan could understand his mother’s excitement; his eyes were filled with tears as he once again reached over to put his arm around Gia’s shoulder—

"Mother, I found my sister!" He stood side by side with Gia, smiling at his mother.

At this moment, Gia’s heart was filled with tearing pain, the joy of reunion, regret, gratitude, strength, and vulnerability.

All the childhood memories were awakened.

She was the most cherished little princess at home, the scenes of her mother caring for her, accompanying her, vividly appeared before her eyes...

"Shane..." Mrs. Xavier’s voice trembled, emotions finally bursting forth, she did not take the identification report offered by her son, and instead stepped forward to embrace the girl!

"Daughter, my daughter..." She held her tightly, finally understanding where that familiar feeling came from; it was blood ties.

"Mother..." Gia’s voice choked, perhaps due to the herbal medicine, she suddenly remembered what her mother looked like when she was young, and the scenes of her mother teaching her to walk and eat at the age of one or two.

Each moment was particularly clear.

Mrs. Xavier cried tears of joy, sobbing uncontrollably! Holding her, crying until she trembled...

Gia held back the tearing pain in her heart, tears flowing incessantly.

Meanwhile, Nathan could not help but wipe his tears, deeply moved himself, his heart that had always been anxiously hanging, finally eased.

Just like that, the mother and daughter recognized each other ahead of time.

Soon, Simon Xavier returned home as well, now in his own residence, "Where is my wife?" He asked the servant while changing out of his formal attire, the day’s tasks completed.

Before the servant could answer, he turned around and saw his wife, Nathan, and Gia walking towards him.

His wife was in the middle, Nathan and Gia holding her hands on either side, it was only then he noticed, their expressions were somewhat different than usual...

It looked like they had cried, their emotions were both excited and restrained, somewhat joyful yet seemingly heavy.

Simon Xavier momentarily froze, his eyes fixed on them, puzzled by the situation?

As everyone came in, he softly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Father, take a look at this." Nathan handed it over with both hands, "We found Shane, my sister."

The middle-aged man, upon hearing they found their daughter, quickly reached out to take the identification report and opened it.

The names Nathan Xavier and Gia were written inside, his gaze quickly bypassed the professional data, landing directly on the final identification result—

Are Nathan Xavier and Gia siblings by blood?

Simon Xavier’s face, etched with wrinkles, displayed clear shock, as if frozen, eyes wide open, before slowly coming to his senses after a long moment.

When he looked up at Gia, her tears fell, "Father..." She bent her knees and knelt down.

"Mother." She lowered her head, seeing the wrinkles on her parents’ faces, filled with self-blame, "I have been an unfilial daughter, not having been with you all these years."
