Chapter 397
Pattieâs hair used to be thick, hiding the small birthmark. It would be impossible to notice
it if she didnât shave her hair
The more Salma stared at it, the more excited she became a theory began to form in her mind Pattie might well be the granddaughter she lost all those years ago. Such a distinct birthmark could not be a mere coincidence. Surely no one else could have one that was identical to her granddaughterâs
Anna, Anna, come here.â Salma called out to Anastasia. Her excitement was palpable.
âWhat is it mom?â Anastasia asked, seeing the strange expression on Salmaâs face
âLook at this âSalma pulled Anastasia closer to observe the birthmark on Pattieâs head. Her excitement was barely concealed. âDo you see this heart-shaped mark?â
Hmm, I never noticed it before.â Anastasia admitted. It was her first time noticing the heart-shaped birthmark on Pattieâs head. But it was just a birthmark. Why was Salma so
excited?
Salma laughed excitedly. âYour daughter, Anna. The child you gave birth to all those years ago, has the same birthmark on her head. I remember clearly because I was the one who
put her bonnet on.â
Her words were like a bombshell. Anastasia stammered, âMom, are you saying that Pattie is my daughter?â
âYes, it canât be a coincidence. The same heart-shaped birthmark in the same location.â Salma was so excited that her eyes began to glisten with tears. Iâm certain of it. Pattie looks just like you did when you were a child. And remember, Pattie is an orphan too. Sheâs about to turn five. It all lines up.â
This was a lot for Anastasia to take in, and it was all too sudden.
âPattieâs biological parents died in a car accident. Thatâs how she ended up in the orphanage.â Anastasia mumbled, struggling to believe it. âHow can Pattie be my daughter? And what about Layna?â
Despite her words, Anastasia was beginning to believe it, because Salma herself had identified Pattie, and because Pattie gave her a sense of familiarity, thatâs like they had been mother and daughter in a past life.
Anastasia said excitedly. âLetâs get a DNA test. Iâll ask the doctor to do it right now.â
Salma was equally thrilled. If Pattie truly was her granddaughter, it would be wonderful.
Tâll go find the doctor,â Salma said
The hospital was equipped to do the test, and soon a doctor arrived. Anastasia requested
