The Silent Daughter

I was the real daughter who had just been found and brought back to my wealthy family.

But the moment I stepped through the door, the fake daughter Barbara threw herself into my parents' arms, sobbing.

"Dad, Mom, forgive me—I really can't accept her."

"She's that transfer student who spread rumors about me at school and gave me depression!"

Mom Lucy held the fake daughter close, comforting her with heartache in her voice.

Dad Patterson's face was full of anger, his eyes looking at me with utter disappointment.
