Chapter 453: 453: Daniel Marshall’s Heart Aches

“From what I can see, besides traces of hardships and the passage of time dotting her face, they do resemble quite closely. Her delicate facial features haven’t changed. She does indeed own a leek dumplings store, and business seems to be doing well.”

An unexplained wave of warmth spread through Daniel’s heart. A satisfied grin gradually crept on his face, “Is there a video?”

“Yes, there are some other complications too. But have a look at the photos first, I’ll tell you more about it later.”

“Alright!”

After hanging up the call from Martin Wallace, Daniel, in a slightly joyful mood, opened WeChat.

With suppressed excitement, Daniel’s hands trembled slightly.

It had been twenty-eight years since he last saw his mother. He finally might have an opportunity to meet her.

Strangely, Daniel felt a twinge of bitter-sweet pain that lingered in his heart.

His eyes even began to cloud with tears unexpectedly.

Taking a deep breath, another one, Daniel tried to manage his own emotions. With trembling fingers, he opened the picture, zooming in to take a careful look.

There was no trace of his mother in his home, and due to his young age, he didn’t have any recollection of her appearance. The only thing he remembered was the leek dumplings she made, a memory that was preserved through his grandmother.

It was his grandmother, knowing that her own time was approaching, who had secretly given him a family portrait taken when he was one year old.

Only through this photograph could he remember his mother’s face, remember what she looked like in her younger years.

Looking at the photo on WeChat, Daniel’s eyes moistened.

The lady in the photo, the owner of the leek dumplings shop, bore a striking resemblance to his mother.

It must be his mother!

Daniel immediately called Martin Wallace.

“Send me all the videos, including the audio.”

Martin hesitated for a moment before replying, his voice heavy, “I’ll send you everything shortly. Daniel, it’s been so many years, the occurrences faced by your mother might be indescribable, brace yourself. During a casual conversation while eating leek dumplings, someone unintentionally mentioned they were from Serene City to carry out a large-scale mineral purchase. The shopkeeper’s discomfort was quite evident, it seemed as if she was trying to avoid something.”

“I understand, Martin. Thanks for everything.”

“What’s there to thank for? Now watch the video first, if you have any questions, call me.”

After ending the call, Daniel received high-quality videos sent by Martin just a few seconds later.

Daniel was certain, this woman was his mother!

As he continued watching the video, Daniel felt uneasy; a sour sensation began prickling the insides of his nose.

[Ma’am, how many children do you have?]

Without a moment’s hesitation, his mother replied with a smile.

[I have a daughter. She graduated at the end of June and is currently working in Kyoto.]

[Ma’am, you can finally enjoy your golden years]

[I’ve already grown accustomed to this life. I won’t go anywhere else but here. If my child wants to make a career for herself elsewhere, I will support her. She’s a recent graduate and doesn’t make much, but it’s enough to maintain her livelihood. I fear her hardships, so I support her financially every month.]

[Ma’am, your daughter must be very filial.]

[It’s enough that she managed to attend university. I don’t harbor any extravagant hopes.]

[Ma’am, does your daughter ever come back to visit you?]

The camera suddenly turned to the wall of the shop, where Daniel noticed a certificate bearing the name Grace Ziegler.
