Chapter 129: Decision...
In another room...
Jessica slid on a pair of clean gloves. In front of her, she had three glass cups, scotton swabs, and three
small clear transparent pouches. Inside each pouch were strands of hair—slong, sshort, and sgrey.
She worked slowly and carefully, just like a professional. She picked up the first glass cup, swabbed it gently to
collect anything left behind, and sealed the sample. Then she did the sfor the second and third cups. Once
done, she turned her attention to the hair strands. Each type was easy to tell apart—Bella’s hair was long and
brown, Davis's was short and dark, and Elliot's hair was grey and thick.
Jessica had always felt the girl in the picture had an uncanny resemblance to her best friend Bella whom she had
met by coincidence and had since shared everything with.
Not having a recollection of her past memory, Jessica had let her bury the past and start a new life. It was funny
that on the day of her nshe had asked her nto choose a nfor herself and she subconsciously said
Bella but that was all
And for the past decade, she has been with her but meeting Davis who had mentioned his sister's nas Bella
and with their similarities Jessica had been suspicious.
But then, her worry and suspicion increased with Elliot's visit. Looking at Davis and Elliot, It was as though they
were cut out of the smold.
Earlier that evening, while they were all having dinner together, Jessica’s sharp eyes caught something strange.
It wasn’t something loud or obvious—it was subtle, but she couldn't ignore it with the rising suspicion.
Even though Bella, Davis, and Elliot were different in age and background, they all seemed to enjoy the same
dish. Not just that—they reacted the sway to most things on the menu. It felt unusual.
Jessica had always trusted her instincts. And her instinct tonight told her that this wasn’t just a simple
coincidence. Something deeper was going on. The strange similarities in their behavior pushed her suspicion
even higher.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, after the meal, while everyone was distracted with laughter and conversation, Jessica whispered to one of
the maids. She told her not to wash the cups. Instead, she wanted them brought straight to her room. The maid
obeyed without question. With a plan in mind, she played along with them.
Later, she suggested they all go up to the room set up for fun—karaoke and music. While Bella sang joyfully and
Elliot chatted with Davis, Jessica slipped away quietly. She needed this moment to do her little investigation.
As she placed each swab and hair into a labeled pouch, she thought back over the past months, years and week.
She had been watching closely. All three of them—Bella, Davis, and Elliot—had so many things in common. Their
preferences, their reactions, their gestures. At first, she thought it was simply because they were spending time
together. But now, she wasn’t so sure.
The only clear difference she had noticed so far was their opinion on strawberries. Bella loved them—she would
eat anything with strawberries. But both Davis and Elliot seemed to dislike them and avoided them completely.
That small detail made Jessica even more curious yet was the only thing stopping Jessica from leaping to
conclusions
She had series of questions echoing in her mind all through the tthe dined "Could they be related? Why the
similarities? Why the staste and preference?" She didn’t want to say it out loud yet. But the thought kept
coming back.
There was something strange about how similar Davis and Elliot were. Their preferences, their way of speaking,
even the way they smiled sometimes—it all felt too close to be a coincidence.
Jessica hated uncertainty. She didn’t like to guess or make assumptions. That was why she had taken the lead in
suggesting they go to the karaoke room—it gave her the perfect opportunity to gather the samples without
raising suspicion. Now, with physical evidence in hand, she could finally begin testing and confirm whether her
instincts were right.
Jessica carefully placed all the samples inside a box and sealed it. She planned to send them to her lab tonight
but with Davis clingy habit she had to wait till morning. She would have delegated Richard with the task but this
she needed to handle carefully and discreetly.
Standing by the table, Jessica looked out of the window. The moonlight poured gently into the room. Her face
looked calm, but her heart was beating fast.
She knew that truth had power. It could heal—but it could also hurt. Whatever she found from the test, she had
to be ready. And she had to prepare Davis for it too.
As she turned off the light and left the room, her thoughts raced with questions and assumptions. "What if Davis
was connected to Elliot? What will be the case after the result comes out positive?"

"Sister..." Davis murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
Jessica's heart skipped. Her eyes widened in surprise as she slowly straightened up. For a moment, she thought
he was talking to her—but when she followed his gaze, she realized he wasn’t looking at her at all.
His eyes were fixed in the distance, lost in thought. His expression was soft, yet shadowed with a deep longing.
Jessica let out a quiet breath and lowered her hand.
