Cedric could see as his assistant froze next to Marisa.
He nodded at Marisa's words.
What happened next surprised everyone who hadn't known Marisa in the past.
She turned and faced Mae.
"In Fernando's last two letters, he told me he met both of our children." Marisa said as she struggled not to tear up. "He told me that he had found both, one going by the name of Mien, and the other kept her name, Mae."
"I don't know -" Mae began to say, but she stopped abruptly as Marisa shook her head.
"I know you aren't sure if you are mine and Fernando's daughter, and even I don't want to get my hopes up." Marisa explained. "There have been so many times where I thought I found my daughter, only to realize it wasn't her."
Mae gave Marisa a slight smile, she was surprised that the older lady who was possibly her mother didn't push her to accept it.
