My Wife Is A Seer

Emily had always been fond of Helena.

If she met Helena by chance outside, she would always buy her a cup of coffee.

She liked Helena for two reasons: Helena was not the daughter of Lyla and Hugo and did not have those nasty genes of theirs in her. Helena was pretty with high IQ and EQ. And it was pleasant to talk to her.

“Helena, I heard that you were injured by Lyla.”

“Yeah!”

“Why did she hit you?”

Helena briefly talked about what happened that day, and finally said, “After what happened like that, I no longer want to go back to the Yip family. Emily, I came to see you today because I want to ask you for some clues to see if I can find my real parents.”

Emily’s hand frothing milk stalled: “You want to find your biological parents?”

Helena nodded: “Before Rebecca came back, they didn’t like me. After Rebecca came back, I was even more redundant in the Yip family. If I didn’t leave the Yip family, they would constantly disgust me. Even if I live outside, they will constantly harass me. The only way I’m going to avoid them completely is to find my real parents.”

Emily put the brewed cappuccino in front of her: “Helena, you’re already at the age of marriage. Instead of spending your energy looking for your biological parents, why don’t you go and find a man to marry as a support? You still can’t let go of Elias?”

“Don’t mention Elias, it’s disgusting.”

“Then why don’t you go and find a man to marry? With a man to back you up, why do you need to be afraid of them?”

“How long can a man be relied upon?”

“And how long can your real parents let you lean on them?”

“……” Helena was speechless.

Emily held her hand: “Helena, don’t look for your real parents, if they could give you something to fall back on, they wouldn’t have thrown you away in the first place. If they threw you away and never looked for you, what kind of support could they have given you? Helena, don’t look for them, don’t give yourself any pain, stop thinking about it, understand?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Maybe they had their reason?”

“What kind of reason could make them throw away their child?”

“……”

“Helena, Hugo said that your biological parents preferred sons to daughters and dropped you after having several daughters and not wanting to raise any more. This claim is false, but I think it fits reality.”

“……”

“What do you do when you go to them and they don’t want to acknowledge you? Do you want to jump into another fire when you haven’t jumped out of one?”

Helena held her coffee cup, her gaze deep: “Emily, do I look pretty? Is my backbone hard enough? Is my IQ enough? For someone like me, do you think my real parents would be that bad?”

“……”

“Emily, I still want to believe that they had other reasons and that they had no choice but to throw me away. I still want to find them, just give me some clues!”

Emily really liked her and really wanted her to have a comfortable and good life. During these years in the Yip family, when she was living a miserable life, to be honest, Emily did not feel good in her heart and always felt that she had done her harm. But she was an outcast, and if Emily didn’t take her in, someone else would, and if they all didn’t take her in, she was just waiting to die. If she was taken in by someone else, her fate could be better or worse than it was now.

Helena grabbed her sleeve and tugged: “Emily, please, give me some clues! Or I’ll go to them hiding my identity. Make sure they’re reliable before I identify with them, okay?”

In her heart, Emily believed that there were no reliable families who abandon their children: “I don’t know. I don’t have a clue. I bought you in the first place, a friend took you to me directly, I didn’t meet the seller at the source.”

“Just ask your friend!”

“How can I ask after so long? They don’t remember!”

Helena found her eyes dodging, she was not unable to ask, but did not want to ask. She got up and sat next to Emily, hugging her: “Emily, just look at the fact that I have nowhere to stay and help me! Although I don’t like Rebecca, I envy her. She has her own mother and father, her own home. That’s her retreat, her safe haven, and I want that too.”

Helena did not know how to pamper herself, her pampering was clumsy.

Emily’s heart softened and she patted her arm, “Helena, after I divorced Hugo, I haven’t remarried nor had any children. You want to leave the Yip family, I’ll help you leave, how about you being my daughter and inheriting everything from me?”

Helena did not hate Emily.

If it wasn’t for Lyla, Helena would still be very fond of Emily.

Emily was a strong woman and had the good qualities of a modern woman who was indefatigable and did not complain about everything.

But Emily and the Yip family didn’t get along, and for her to be a daughter to Emily would undoubtedly be to cause trouble for her: “Come on! If I were to make you a daughter, my mother could cause you into troubles.”

“I ……”

“Emily, I really want to meet my real parents. When my mother beat me up, she said my real mother was stubborn. If they are really patriarchal and have an unbearable character, I’ll be relieved of my worries.”

Emily was silent.

Helena had her own obsessions. Considering from her experience, she did not support Helena’s search for her family.

So she said, “You were born prematurely, at less than 10 months of gestational age. You were born very small, 42 centimetres tall and weighing 3 catties and 8 taels. The source seller was a single old man who was out on a market trip, he heard a baby crying in the grass by the roadside. That’s how he picked you up, but he was too poor to feed you, so he carried you to the market and gave you away.”

She took a sip of coffee to moisten her throat: “You may be small, but you were pretty and many people wanted to adopt you. The old man even helped you pick out a family, and finally gave you to a decently dressed man, who was my friend. He brought you back to me, and I put you in the bed room for Rebecca.”

Helena circled the key points: “Since I was born prematurely, and you knew about my premature birth, that means a note was left with me. Is that note still here? I want to see it.”

“You’re right, you do have a note on you. But my methods were dishonourable, and I did not want to leave evidence for myself. I tore up that note, and you have no other token on you.” Emily grabbed her hand, her tone sincere: “Helena, that’s all I know. If you insist, go and find them, if you fail, it’s God’s will, don’t be obsessed.”

Helena didn’t come for nothing, and these count as clues: she was born premature! Left in the grass by the roadside!

After chatting casually for a while, Helena got up and said goodbye. Emily stood at the door and watched the car disappear before reentering the office. She locked the door behind her, opened the safe and took out a square wooden box.

Inside the wooden box lied a baby bracelet!
