CHAPTER 25: THE NECKLACE

After they told them their engagement few months ago. It was not really two weeks thou.

Sophie got time on her day off in Henna and Henley's parent's home. Henna called her last night and asked for help with their old rooms. Lovely and Sophie agreed to help her arranged and fixed their things. Steve was getting bigger and growing faster. Henley has an operation schedule that day.

In a few days, she will be part of their family and happy to be a part of it. Sophie's parents knew Henley and Henna's family ever since. So, it was good thing they were very supportive to her.

They reached in their ancestral house and Henna was already there with the kids and their nannies. Their parents were there too; spend their time with their grandchildren in the playroom. When they arrived, their mother greeted them.

However, her eyes fall into Lovely. Mrs. Wu never took her eyes of Lovely. It was her first time seen her. Sophie immediately introduced each other.

"Aunt, this is Lovely and her son Steven." Sophie said smiling. But Mrs. Wu's eyes were still never left her face. Lovely got conscious but remains smiling.

"Good morning, Mrs. Wu." She greeted but Mrs. Wu suddenly focused on her necklace.

"W-where did you get that?" She asked Lovely nervously as she pointed the necklace and touched it. "Where did you get this?" She asked again.

"Ah! This is always in my neck since I remembered." She replied touching her necklace.

Mrs. Wu suddenly collapsed; luckily Sophie caught her just in time. Henna and her daddy rushed when Sophie called for help.

"What happened?" Mr. Wu asked as they saw his wife on the ground with Sophie holding her.

"She suddenly fainted and I do not know why exactly." Sophie replied.

Mr. Wu carried her wife to their master bedroom while Lovely remained still. She was shocked. Her feet could not even move from the position she was standing. Her mind was also confused what just happened.

Henna and Sophie went back to Lovely. Sophie grabbed Steve and gave it to the nanny. They pulled Lovely to the living room.

They sat altogether in the couch. "What just happened?" Henna asked them.

"I do not know exactly. But when she saw Lovely she was acting not normal." Sophie answered doubtfully. "I mean, she was looking at Lovely all the time and asked some questions with her necklace."

"What necklace?" Henna confusedly asked and looked at Lovely.

Lovely was holding her necklace and removed her hand from it to let Henna see.

Henna stared at her necklace and examined it thoroughly. "Where did you get this?" She asked her.

"This was already in my neck all the time ever since I was little." She said looking at it. "I removed it not long ago because it was broken and have fixed it to the goldsmith. I just got it back."

Henna nodded and stood up. "Wait, I need to get something." She walked away from them and go upstairs.

Henna went to her room and look unto her drawer. She needs to be sure if it is the same. She took out her old jewelry box and found what she was looking for.

She never took too long and returned with Sophie and Lovely who were waiting for her in the living room area. There was something in her hand that she hides it before she went back to Lovely side.

"Can you take that necklace off from your neck?" She asked and Lovely removed it then gave it to her.

When the necklace was in Henna's hand, she opens the other hand and it turns out it was the same as her. Her mind was blank for a while there then looked back at Lovely.

Even Sophie was also puzzled when she saw what she saw in Henna's both hands. "Hey, Henley got one too." Sophie said.

"Yeah, Henley and I have this together with my younger sister, given to us by Mommy." Henna said.

Lovely did not say a word because she was still confused about the necklace.

"What sister? I thought it was just the two of you." Sophie asked.

"I do not know exactly because we were so young then and my parents never mentioned about her." Henna added. "But we remembered that we have a younger sister because I saw some pictures when she got her third birthday party. A picture of us three and the rest was kind of blurry to me."

Mr. Wu came to them. "Henna, bring them to your mother. She wants to talk about Lovely." He told them.

"Okay Dad, we will be right there." Henna replied and held Lovely's hand. "Come on, we need to know why my mother was fainted and about that necklace too." Lovely nodded and Sophie also holds both of their hands.

They proceed to the master's room and walked towards the bed. Henna sat to the other side while Sophie gently pushed Lovely to be near to Mrs. Wu. She stood behind Lovely.

"Mom, are you alright?" Henna asked with concern.

Mrs. Wu nodded but exhale deep before she says a word. "I am okay baby. But I guess I need to calm for a minute before I tell all of you some part of our family that we have tried hiding it." She said wiping some tears in her eyes. She took a deep breathe before telling them some details.

"I do not know if Henna and Henley remembered this. But we had another child actually their young sister. Both of the girls were still confused about Mrs. Wu's revelation. "Their father's secretary was obsessed with their father. Your father did not know that she will go to the point of abducting our youngest child." She cried after telling them the whole story. "That necklace was made for my children with their name on it at the back. Henley, Henna and Helena"

Lovely knew that name was written at the back of the necklace. She used that in school but preferred to call her second name which is Lovely.

Mrs. Wu grabbed Lovely's hands. "Without doubt I know you are our Helena. My youngest daughter that we thought died long time ago." She sobbed. "That secretary even sent us that you died. It broke my heart knowing we lost you." They both cried when they heard the whole story behind the disappearance of Lovely.

"If you want, we can make some DNA test." Mrs. Wu suggested and that's what their family doctor came with Mr. Wu.

Lovely nodded just to be sure because ever since she wanted a family. A family that would accept her and her son. The doctor got her DNA and rushed back to the hospital for further test.

"I am 100 percent sure you are my child."
