Daniel immediately called his mother Margaret.
When she arrived and saw Emily, her face went pale.
Daniel noticed.
You know her.
Margaret tried to deny it.
Daniel held up the photograph.
Enough.
Finally, Margaret admitted the truth.
Sarah had never died or simply disappeared.
Years earlier, Daniel’s father forced her out of the family after an inheritance dispute.
Margaret later discovered Sarah was still alive.
But she kept the secret.
Daniel stared at her.
Why?
Margaret lowered her eyes.
Your father made everyone afraid to talk about her.
Daniel pointed toward Emily.
Then explain why Sarah’s daughter was hidden inside my wall.
Margaret started crying.
Sarah contacted me recently.
She was afraid someone was looking for documents she had found.
She sent Emily here temporarily.
Daniel looked furious.
So you hid a child instead of telling me?
Margaret whispered.
I panicked.
Daniel looked toward Lily.
His three-year-old daughter had shown more courage than every adult involved.
