However, Caleb interrupted before Abby could answer, “Zoe, take her to the quest room. She’ll stay there for the night.”
Zoe, the servant of the Shaw Family, immediately stepped forward and made an invitational gesture. “Please come with me, Miss Wright.”
Abby nodded slightly. She glanced at Caleb before thanking the others with sign language.. ‘Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw. I’ll go upstairs and rest now.
But, Jamie and Daisy couldn’t understand Abby, so Caleb explained, “She said thank you, and she will be resting upstairs.”
“This lady is quite a sensible one,” Daisy stared at Abby as she said. She even followed them for a few steps after they headed toward the stairs.
Daisy couldn’t help but ask when Abby and Zoe had reached the third floor and disappeared. from her sight, “Who is she? Why does she look so much like your deceased sister?”
Caleb walked to the couch and sat down. Then, he lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took a puff. “I thought of the same thing when I first saw her. She looked a lot like my sister. But, she is not Tracey Shaw.”
“Are you sure she is not Tracey?” Jamie adjusted his glasses before looking up in the direction of the third floor. “She would be about the same age if Tracey is still alive.” “Are you sure, Cal?” Jimmy asked doubtfully.
Caleb nodded firmly. “I secretly took her hair and ran a DNA test to see if it matches our parents, and the result showed that she is not Tracey. Moreover, Tracey has been missing for more than ten years. We have no idea what she looks like if she’s still alive now.”
Caleb had a biological sister named Tracey, but few people knew about her existence. Even Matthew, Skyler, and Miguel didn’t know about Tracey.
So, he took Abby away from the countryside to Bloomstead when they first met by the river during his visit to Veronica’s old residence. It was because she looked very much like Tracey.
Daisy’s eyes reddened at the mention of Tracey. “That’s right. We haven’t seen Tracey for so long. Even if Abby looks like Tracey, she only looks like the Tracey we know from more than ten years ago,” Daisy choked as she spoke, and Jamie patted her back. “It’s all in the past now. Don’t be sad.”
“You shouldn’t have brought her back and made our parents sad, Cal,” Jimmy said calmly.
“Don’t listen to your brother’s nonsense, Caleb. It’s good that you brought her here. I feel peace with her here.” It was more like a consolation for her at that instant.
“Why not let her stay with us from now on since your mother likes her so much?” Jamie was always a loving husband to Daisy, and he knew that she had a tough time recovering from Tracey’s incident.
Now, there was finally someone who looked so much like their daughter who went missing without a trace. So, they thought it would be comforting, at least psychologically, to have Abby by their side.
“Yeah, why not? Let her stay with us, Caleb.” Then, Daisy moved to sit beside Caleb and asked, “What do you think, my son?”
However, Caleb didn’t answer anything. He only silently smoked. Eventually, he exhaled a cloud of smoke from his mouth and replied, “I’ll ask her about it tomorrow.”
“Wonderful. That’ll be great.” Daisy was extremely happy. They chatted in the living room for a long time following that. Caleb went to the guest room where Abby was resting after they all had returned to their rooms to rest.
He knocked at the door of the room when he got there, but there was no response. He couldn’t help but frown slightly. Did she fall a sleep so soon? What a sleepy head.
Caleb returned to his own room after that. He opened the drawer of his desk and took out a thick photo album, and he noticed a particular old photo.It was a photo of his younger sister, Tracey. It reminded him that Tracey went missing while she was under his care.
