Even After Death

Chapter 1179

“There aren’t any ingredients at home. This is all I can make for you.”

“It’s fine. It’s nice to switch things up occasionally.”

Mason seemed to be very easygoing.

There were no housekeepers in this house. Ethan took up the job of washing the dishes. He picked up the plates that the others used.

Linus frowned. Although the two of them were divorced, it seemed like their relationship didn’t really change.

Olivia brewed stea for Mason and Linus.

Then, she sat down and said, “Since it’s getting late, I’ll make it short. I happened to see a picture in your drawer.

“It was a picture of a woman. Is that woman called Natalie?”

Mason’s expression visibly changed after hearing that name. He grabbed Olivia’s arm excitedly.

“Do you know her? How are you related to her?”

Was her speculation wrong?

Olivia shook her head. “Honestly, I don’t know who she is.”

“But you…”

“A few years ago, I suddenly found out that I wasn’t my father’s biological daughter. I know nothing about my birth parents.

“Then, I met an old lady out of pure coincidence. She toldthat I looked like someone she knew. She was the one who toldabout Ms. Nat.”

“What happened next?” Mason grabbed her hand with an urgent expression.

“Where … Where is Natalie now?”

“That old lady was already very old. She was illiterate and wasn’t always in her right mind. She wasn’t able to provide much useful information.

‘We found Warlot Street in Seaburg City. The house there had already been torn down. There was a nursing hin its place.

“The only proof that she was telling the truth was the cherry tree at the gate. We don’t know where Ms. Nat has gone.”

Olivia sighed. “As you know, those were turbulent times. The warlords ran rampant.

“A lot of data wasn’t preserved. There also weren’t any registrations. It’s very hard to find a person.

“I don’t even know where my birth parents are. Since I look like Ms. Nat, I wondered if we could be related.”

Olivia explained all she knew in a concise manner. Then, she shifted the subject to Mason.

“I saw the cherry tree when I arrived at the Heath Residence. Very few families grow cherry trees at home.

“You also felt like the angel food cake I made tasted familiar. Then, there’s the picture in the tea room. I had to wonder if you knew Ms. Nat.”

Olivia took the old picture out of her wallet. “Please look at this.”

Mason looked at the picture of an elegant woman sitting under the cherry tree.

She had her head raised, looking at the young man picking cherries above her.

He looked away from the woman with great effort. His gaze fell on the date.

He looked at the young man on the tree. A thought formed in his head.

Could it be…

Noticing that Mason was getting emotional, Olivia quickly said, “Don’t get worked up, Mr. Heath. We can talk about it.”

Mason didn’t reply. Instead, he beckoned toward Linus.

Seeing that Mason was so excited that his arms were shaking, Linus asked, “How can I help, Dad?”

Mason’s lips were quivering. Olivia handed him a glass of water. He calmed down slightly.

He grabbed Linus’ arm. “Linus, get a DNA test done quickly for Vanessa and me.”

Linus started to feel uneasy.

“Why, Dad?”
