"Sorry, I don't know…" Hazel looked a little overwhelmed.
Joshua's adoptive father was also her biological father, but she was not prepared for him to say that.
"Don't worry," he whispered. "I didn't mention it to you."
Joshua gently held her hand as they got into the car. Hazel's palm was cold as she was nervous.
He stretched out his arm to gently embrace her.
Surrounded by his familiar, tender aura, Hazel sucked in a deep breath and gradually calmed down. Although she had heard a lot about her parents from Joshua, she was really not well-prepared to meet them.
She wouldn't even meet them, she would meet their graves. She didn't know how to face them.
Knowing what she was worried about, Joshua whispered, "Hazel, don't be stressed. If they were still alive, they would be ecstatic to know you were safe."
"Mmm." Hazel nodded heavily. She went to meet her biological parents mostly because Joshua missed them.
