Chapter 630: 214: Good and evil will eventually get their retribution.

“Upon hearing these words, Barbara Will was immediately taken aback.

She stood still, unable to react for a long time.

Barbara tried to calm herself down, raised her head to look at Ling, and squeezed out a forced smile, “Kim, Officer Kim, what did you just say?”

That statement was a tremendous blow for Barbara, akin to a bolt from the blue.

She must’ve heard it wrong.

She surely misheard.

Olivia Cooper was two years older than Pearl, and her skin was a bit darker than Pearl’s, she definitely wasn’t Pearl.

She definitely wasn’t.

Barbara just looked at Ling, hoping against hope.

How much she wished, at that moment, for Ling to laugh and tell her that she was just joking earlier.

Just a joke, that’s all.

With a sigh, Ling said, “Ms. Will, I know it’s difficult for you to accept this. But unfortunately, the results show that you are indeed Olivia Cooper’s biological mother. Olivia Cooper is Pearl.”

Olivia Cooper is Pearl…

She was the daughter she had been looking for ten years.

Barbara just opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something, but couldn’t utter a word.

The day, which had been bright, suddenly darkened at this moment.

Pitch-dark, without a ray of light.

Grief seeped into her very soul.

The next second, Barbara’s vision blacked out, and she fainted.

This blow was too much for Barbara to take.

Finding her daughter was her only reason to live on.

Otherwise, she would’ve died a long time ago.

“Mrs. Price!”

Viola Thompson promptly caught Barbara.

“Ms. Will!” Ling was also greatly alarmed.

Just as Ling prepared to call for an ambulance, she saw Viola Thompson take out a small ceramic bottle from bread’s bag. She opened the lid and put it under Barbara’s nose.

The special smell inside the small ceramic bottle went straight up Barbara’s nostrils.

Soon, Barbara opened her eyes.

Seeing this, Ling stared wide-eyed. She first looked at Barbara, then at Viola, subconsciously thinking that this girl definitely possessed talents beyond the field of computers.

She remained composed in a crisis.

Neither flurried nor slow.

Even trained police officers paled in comparison to her.

After opening her eyes, Barbara took a while to recover, then asked, “Officer Kim, what did you say just now? Are, you, are you sure you weren’t joking with me?”

Even now, Barbara dared not admit the truth.

If Olivia Cooper was indeed Pearl…

Then she was the indirect murderer of her own biological daughter.

If only she had come sooner, her daughter would not have had an accident!

At this moment, plain words are nowhere near enough to describe Barbara’s pain.

Upon hearing this, Ling sighed.

Although this cruel fact…

Barbara had to face it.

“Ms. Will, I wasn’t joking, Olivia Cooper is indeed your biological daughter, Pearl.”

The mother-daughter reunion that Barbara had been waiting for many years, turned out to be an eternal farewell.

“Ah!”

Barbara’s last line of defense in her heart completely collapsed.

She sobbed aloud.

Then, getting up from the ground on her knees, she ran towards the Memorial Hall, “Pearl! Pearl! It’s all mom’s fault!”

“Pearl!”

Her cry was both sorrowful and suppressed.

“Pearl!”

Barbara knelt before the coffin, pressing her face against Olivia’s, “Pearl, will you open your eyes and look at mom? I’m sorry, Pearl! I’m really really sorry…”

Olivia’s face was ice-cold.

No warmth at all.

At that moment, Barbara wished deeply that she could die in place of Olivia.

How could she have been so clueless.

“Pearl, Pearl!”

Barbara kept calling out again and again, but Olivia kept her eyes tightly shut without giving any response.

The people who were mourning inside the Memorial Hall were a bit startled when they saw this scene.

They all started whispering.

“Who is she? Olivia’s biological mother?”

“I know her!” Some people in the crowd already took out their mobile phones, opened the news about the search for the daughter and compared, “Is she Pearl’s mother who went searching for her daughter?”

“Yes, that’s her!”

“Oh my god! Does that mean Olivia is Pearl?”

Barbara’s search for her daughter was already pitiful, but now, what she found was a dead body.

Ling walked over to Barbara and comforted her: “Ms. Will, one cannot bring back the dead, you should mourn appropriately.”

Mourn appropriately?

Desolation filled Barbara’s eyes, as the reality of the situation sank in, how could she mourn appropriately?

At that moment, Barbara was filled with nothing but regret.

She regretted her hesitation.

If she had come a few days earlier.

Or even one day earlier.

Her daughter would not have died.
