Faux Vows, True Desires
Chapter 165

"What a coincidence; my family and friends also call me 'Lucy'."

Lucinda said it with a smile. Janice was not in a good state of mind at the moment. In her memory, her children were only a few months old; her consciousness stuck in a time more than twenty years ago. Lucinda was especially gentle with her, with a lot of patience.

When the DNA results confirmed their mother-daughter relationship, she tried to see if she could awaken her mother's consciousness and recover her normal state.

By now, she had a rough understanding that she was not abandoned by her biological parents but was separated from them. Whether it was a simple separation or there were other reasons, she was not sure yet.

Regardless of the reason, it had a significant impact and caused damage to her mother.

She felt sorry for Janice, not knowing what she had gone through after losing her daughter.

Now only Ethan was with Janice, and Lucinda guessed that there might be problems in Janice's marriage.

"Really? What a coincidence! I liked you the moment I saw you and wanted to get close to you. So, you're also called Lucy, just like my daughter."

Janice was very happy; her smile was pure and innocent.

Lucinda swallowed her sadness and began unpacking the insulated lunch boxes she had brought. The breakfast she made was taken out one by one and placed on the bedside table, quickly filling it.

"I got up early today and made some soup for you, as well as some breakfast. Try it, and if you like it, I can make it for you every day."

She saw Janice's hands wrapped in bandages.

Lucinda washed the bowls she brought and poured a bowl of soup for Janice. She sat by the bed and fed Janice the soup.

"I can drink it myself."

Janice said, but she was very compliant. Lucinda fed her a spoonful, and she took a sip.

"You have wounds on your hands. Although holding a baby is not a problem, holding a soup bowl may hurt your wounds. Let me feed you."

"Is the soup good?"

"It's delicious, very delicious; I like it."

Janice nodded earnestly, answering seriously like a child.

Lucinda then fed her braised shrimp.

Skywatch and Pinehurst were far apart, and the living habits of the two places were naturally different.

Janice probably hadn't tasted braised shrimp very much. After eating one, her eyes lit up, and she said to Lucinda, "Lucy, this is delicious. The shrimp is very fresh. It's freshly caught, right?"

Although Janice was not in a good mental state right now, her taste was still there. After tasting Lucinda's braised shrimp, she praised the freshness of the shrimp.

Lucinda complimented her, "You're really good; you could tell right away. All these ingredients are very fresh."

The Anderson family was wealthy and had a private island. If they wanted fresh seafood, all they had to do was give the order, and they could eat seafood that had just been caught and delivered to their villa, ensuring the Anderson family could eat fresh seafood.

When Lucinda first entered the kitchen and saw the ingredients, she was amazed at the wealth and luxury of the Anderson family. The daily ingredients were prepared very abundantly, each one of the best quality and fresh.

With such rich and fresh ingredients, the breakfast she made was naturally more attractive.

"I used to like cooking, too. My husband especially liked the food I made. Later, when I had to take care of my child, a lot of people wanted to take my child away. I had to hold my child all the time, so I stopped cooking."

Lucinda gently asked her, "Who wanted to take your child away?"

"Bad people, very bad people. She always bullied me when my husband was not at home. I couldn't beat her; she was very powerful. I'm scared when I see her now."

The bad person Janice was referring to was probably Madeleine. When she mentioned her, Janice still seemed very scared.

Hearing this, Lucinda felt both sorry and angry.

She didn't continue to ask; seeing Janice's fear, she couldn't go on asking.

Ethan watched the two of them. When he saw his mother and Lucinda chatting casually, their conversation was normal, and he was very relieved. If Lucinda was really his sister, having Lucinda with his mother might help her recover slowly.

"Ethan."

Lucinda suddenly turned her head to look at him.

"You should also have some soup and eat something. You've been taking care of her all night, and you must be tired. After you eat, you should rest well. I'll stay here with her."

After finishing speaking to Ethan, Lucinda turned to Stefan and said, "Stefan, you should go to work. I'll call Cecilia later to look after the renovation at my shop."

Stefan silently nodded after a moment, saying, "I'll go back to the office first. If you need anything, give me a call."

Lucinda taking care of his mother made Ethan very happy.

He said to Stefan, "Mr. Coleman, I'll walk you out."

Stefan reluctantly left the room.

The two men walked side by side, neither of them speaking.

Ethan walked with him all the way to the hospital entrance.

"Mr. Coleman, thank you!"

"I didn't do anything. You don't need to thank me. Even if I did do something, it was for my wife."

Ethan showed a rare smile as he looked at Stefan. "It's obvious that you love Lucy very much. I've learned about you two. You've been married for less than a month, but you've known each other for eleven years. Lucy is like a little rabbit, and you're like an old fox."

"If Lucy really is my sister, I want to,"

"Lucy and I have already processed our marriage certificate. Even if we haven't held a wedding yet, we are legally married. I told Lucy that she has no chance of getting a divorce!"

Stefan thought that Ethan would stop him from being with Lucinda after recognizing his sister, so he immediately asserted his ownership.

He was Lucinda's husband! For this life and the next!

If there was a next life, he was a bit greedy and reserved it too.

It took a lot of effort to get Lucinda to accept him in just over half a month and stop talking about divorce.

Her recognizing her family should not affect his marriage plans.

"My twin sister and I are both twenty-four this year, still pretty young. If Lucy really is my sister, I'm not going to stand in the way of you two being together. I just hope you guys could postpone the wedding a bit give Lucy a chance to come home with us, and we could make up for lost time."

"We only need two years."

"Lucy coming home won't mess with our wedding. I've already started planning our wedding; once my parents are back from their trip, we can tie the knot."

Stefan was stubborn as a mule; he said, "Even if Lucy and I get hitched, I can still go with her to spend some time at your place."

Ethan said, "But if Lucy is my sister, returning to the Blue family, she could inherit half of my dad's fortune. His assets include the company, shops, houses, you name it."
