Chapter 574
“My name is Nova. You can call me Miss Nova, okay?” Nova introduced herself, and Joy nodded obediently. “Joy, do you know where you live?”
Joy said nothing upon being asked. Nova looked down at her and thought, ‘She seems so young, and she’s already separated from her parents? I guess I’ll have to ask the police to help her find her family.’
Nova and Joy had entered the elevator, and Nova squatted down to look at Joy’s eyes. “Joy, do you mind telling me your parents’ names?” Nova probed. But Joy still shook her head.
Nova sighed while looking at Joy’s chubby face. She couldn’t help but reach out and gently rub the top of her head. “It’s alright, I’ll help you find your family.”
When the elevator stopped, Nova held Joy’s hand and walked out. Someone saw Nova carrying a child and asked in surprise, “Miss Nova, is that… your daughter?” Nova smiled and replied, “No.”
“Ah, I’m sorry, I thought she was your daughter. Her eyes look just like yours!”
Nova asked in surprise, “Really?”
“Yeah, and not just her eyes, but her gaze is an exact copy!” the employee seemed to remember something and added, “Miss Nova, please excuse me. I forgot I have an appointment.” “That’s okay, see you!” After that, Nova looked at Joy. She seemed to be anxious somehow.
Meanwhile, Carson arrived at the art school and learned that Joy had already gone. He was sweating bullets as he called Vivian.
Vivian was still on her way to the hospital. But hearing Carson’s news, she rushed back to the art school. The two of them split up and searched all over the streets. They were anxious.
On the other side, Nova retrieved the documents she needed. She held Joy’s hand and asked, “Are you hungry? Would you like to have lunch with me?”
Joy nodded repeatedly and excitedly. Seeing this, Nova stroked her hair and smiled. “So you are hungry. What do you want to eat?”
“I’m not a picky eater,” Joy said politely. It was as if she was afraid to say the wrong thing and hurt Nova’s feelings.
Nova’s heart was about to melt. She even had the urge to hug her. But when she realized Joy was someone else’s child, she held back the urge.
Nova drove to a Western restaurant and ordered a steak for Joy. As the steak was served, Nova cut it into pieces before serving it to her.
Nova sat opposite Joy and observed
as she ate. Joy wore ordinary clothes and looked like a child from an ordinary family. But she had a sophisticated table manners. She found it strange that such a young girl could have a sense of nobility as if she was born with it.
“Joy, how old are you?”
“Five.”
Nova looked at her and murmured, “Five years old…” Her daughter would be around her age if she lived. At the thought of this, her heart suddenly ached. She also recalled the words of the employee she met recently. ‘Could it be that this girl is…’
Nova’s heart was pounding. She even wanted to take her for a DNA test. However, she thought this would scare the child. Besides, she had yet to find her family, so Nova suppressed the absurd guess in her heart. . FindNovel
After lunch, Nova held Joy’s hand again and walked towards the police station. Joy had been dragging her feet with her head down since she left the restaurant. She looked somewhat sad.
Joy knew where her home was but didn’t want to go there. She liked Nova very much. However, she didn’t dare to disobey for fear of losing Nova’s attention.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind. “Joy!”
