“It was Loretta.”

“Who?”

Natalie’s eyes narrowed slightly. What was Loretta doing at the Stone residence?

She suddenly remembered that Loretta might’ve been involved in the baby mix–up that happened over twenty years ago. Could that incident be connected to the Luke family too?

Natalie’s mind raced, but Yvonne’s next words stopped her cold.

“It really was Loretta! I’m sure of it! That old woman gave you a hard time before; I remember her face clearly!”

Yvonne’s voice quickened, as if afraid Natalie wouldn’t believe her.

Worried the topic might upset her sister’s wounds, Natalie quickly said, “Okay, I understand. Don’t get worked up; take time and tell me everything.”

Only then did Yvonne calm down a little.

“When I saw that old woman, I remembered she might’ve had something to do with the mix- up from twenty years ago. So I went up to ask if she was the one who made that strange phone call, and what her purpose was in bringing me here. But before I could get a word out, she pricked me with a tiny needle on her ring; there must’ve been some kind of anesthetic on it, because my vision immediately blurred–and then I blacked out.”

Yvonne went on to describe how she had met Alden and how he recognized her.

Ruby and Flynn stayed quiet in the back, listening without interruption.

Natalie glanced at Ruby. “Mom, does Yvonne look like Uncle Xenon?”

“She does! She looks almost identical to your uncle when he was young.”

Ruby had met her brother–in–law before.

Hearing that, Yvonne’s eyes grew red.

“Aunt Ruby, what kind of person was my dad?”

She knew very little about her parents. And since she had once believed that Xenon had been involved in Natalie’s disappearance, guilt had kept her from ever asking.
