Chapter 13: Awful Reaction
Anastasia stared at Amelia with a quizzical expression. She had anticipated their arrival, and the first thing Amelia did was call her a ghost. Anastasia couldn’t help but smirk faintly at the remark.
"Who the hell are you calling a ghost?" Old Wallace asked Amelia, high on alert. But when her gaze followed Amelia’s, she frowned. "Are you calling Selene a ghost?"
Michelle and Richard were rendered speechless, caught off guard by her parents’ sudden entrance and their unexpected reaction. She hadn’t been able to explain things to them beforehand, leaving her frustrated by the way they had acted.
Old Wallace pulled Anastasia towards her and Amelia’s eyes widened in shock. She had just touched Anastasia and she didn’t fade away, which only meant she was real. In flesh and blood, she was real.
Robert was the first one to recover from his shock before he pinched Amelia on the wrist.
"We are so sorry, Old Wallace. It’s just that...’’ he drawled, still hesitant to believe that Anastasia wasn’t a ghost. He was aware he didn’t kill her with his own two bare hands, but there was no way she could have survived the fall.
"It’s just that what?" Old Wallace questioned, driving him out of his thoughts.
"She’s Anastasia, my daughter," Amelia replied before Robert could. Tears pulled in Amelia’s eyes as she repeated. "She’s my daughter."
’This family could win an Oscar award with how good their acting is,’ Anastasia thought to herself as she maintained an oblivious expression.
