First, I need to find a way to get Rachel to go back with me.

Beatrice chuckled, “Honey, this friend of yours is clearly of good character. You’ve made a great friend. How about we take her with us to visit home during this trip?”

“Mom, she, like me, is a senior this year. She probably doesn’t have time to go back with you right now.”

Upon hearing this, Beatrice’s expression changed slightly.

A girl, studying so hard?

What a waste of money and energy!

She’s just going to get married eventually anyway!

Beatrice grabbed Rachel’s hand, “Honey, do you know how many years your father and I have been looking for you? All these years, we’ve been dreaming of reuniting our family. Your sister, your brother, they think about you coming back every day. Especially your little brother, Qi Bao, he’s such a sensible boy!”

Bringing up her son, Beatrice felt a wash of pride, but this sense of pride quickly turned into tears. With so many children, she knew that it was easy to manipulate those her child’s age, a few shed tears would easily fool her.

“When we came here, Qi Bao wouldn’t let go of your father’s and my hands, reminding us to bring back his sister. Can you imagine how disappointed he would be if you don’t come back?”

At that point, Beatrice broke out in tears.

Seeing this, Gregory Diet immediately joined his wife in this spectacle, “Mamma, don’t cry. Our honey is a sensible girl. She will definitely go back with us.”

As the words fell, Gregory Diet held Rachel’s hand, “Honey, your mom and dad have let you down for nineteen years. Please give us a chance to make it up to you, otherwise we won’t be able to rest in peace even in death.”

“Your father is right.” Beatrice immediately nodded.

Looking at her parents, Rachel was deeply moved.

But.

She remembered Viola Thompson’s reminder.

Not all parents deserve to be called parents.

Rachel handed her parents tissue to wipe their tears and then asked, “Have you really been searching for me all these years?”

“We have, of course, we have!” Beatrice, fearing that her husband might say something wrong, snatched the reply, “but as you know, our family lives in the countryside, and where you were born, they had just been connected to electricity, and the village didn’t even have a telephone. Communication there was not advanced; we could only search for you house by house, we didn’t even know about reporting to the police.”

“We searched for a long time, then I accidentally got pregnant. Your father insisted that we not keep the child, but your younger brother was resilient; he survived several attempts to abort him. So your father and I decided to give birth to him. After giving birth to your younger brother, we gave up the idea of having more children and devoted all our efforts to finding you.”

“We’ve been looking for you for nineteen years! Thankfully, persistence finally pays off, we found you!”

Upon finishing, Beatrice embraced Rachel tightly.

Hearing this, Rachel was touched, “Mom, don’t cry. I’m back now, aren’t I?”

She could feel from her mother’s words just how difficult these years have been.

May all abducted children be able to reunite with their parents.

Beatrice continued, “Honey, will you agree to give your parents a chance to make it up to you?”

“Hmm.” Rachel nodded, “Mom, don’t feel guilty. I know that this isn’t your and dad’s fault. We should blame those damned traffickers. If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have been separated for so many years.”

So, she doesn’t blame her parents.

Gregory interjected, “Honey, then we will leave tomorrow and go home with us.”

The most important thing now is to take Rachel back and find a good family for her.

Upon hearing this, Rachel looked troubled. She could understand her parents’ feelings, but her situation was different from Viola Thompson’s.

Viola Thompson was smart. Even if she skipped school for two months, she could still keep up with the teacher’s pace when she returned.

However, Rachel wasn’t confident academically. If she skipped school at this critical juncture, she wouldn’t be able to perform well on the College Entrance Examination.

“Dad, being in senior year is very critical. I don’t want to be distracted at this point,” Rachel continued, “tomorrow is Sunday, I can take you and Mom for a stroll around River City. As for going home, let’s wait until after the College Entrance Examination.”

After all, it won’t be long before the College Entrance Examination is over.

Beatrice frowned subtly.

If Rachel was a daughter she raised, she would have slapped her by now.

But not now.

She needed to play the long game, so Beatrice voiced sweetly, “Honey, you’re right. Education is the only way out, you need to hold your ground and aim for a good university.”
