Chapter 359 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets
Mrs. Nichols thought for a long time. As she counted with her fingers, she muttered, “My old bulk passed away in
2002. They came a long time after my old bull passed away. Let me think about it carefully. The second year after
my old bull passed away, I started rearing pearl clams. After two years, I harvested a batch of pearls. That was
2005.” Which month? Which month was it?” Lee asked emotionally. His Heather was also involved in a car accident
in 2005. The girl saw that Lee was agitated, and her emotions were also infected. She quickly asked Mrs. Nichols.
Mrs. Nichols thought for a moment and said, “It was winter. I was wearing many layers of clothes. It should be
December. Ah, yes, it was December.” The girl told Lee the month. Lee’s hopeful expression gradually became
desolate, and the sparkle in his eyes gradually dimmed. Heather’s car accident happened in July, which was the
hottest time of the year. When Jeremy saw Lee like this, his heart ached. He said, “Mr. Xander, let’s not be
discouraged. In this world, it’s impossible for there to be someone who looks so similar to another. Perhaps Madam
was injured after being rescued back then and was treated elsewhere for a long time before coming here?” “Yes, it
must be Heather. It must be Heather,” Lee mumbled with trembling lips. His Heather must still be alive. However,
she happened to be injured in the head and met a kind-hearted person who saved her. He brought her to the
hospital for treatment for a few months. After that, he casually gave her a name, Tina. Seeing that Lee and the
others were here to inquire about someone and were not distant relatives at all, Mrs. Nichols’ daughter-in-law was a

10 thousand dollars in cash and handed it to Mrs. Nichols in front of Kelly. “Mrs. Nichols, please take this money. “Oh
no, I can’t.” Mrs. Nichols waved her hands repeatedly. When Kelly saw the money, her expression was not as dark
as before. She gave Mrs. Nichols a look, indicating for her to take the money quickly. Mrs. Nichols felt like she was in
a dilemma, so she frowned. After some hesitation, she accepted the 10,000 dollars from Jeremy. Kelly took her
daughter from Mrs. Nichols’ arms and said, “Mom, take your time to chat. I’ll make some food for Natalie. I’ll also
be making dinner. Ask the guests to stay for dinner. The girl who translated for Lee was speechless. Kelly was too
snobbish! Lee glanced at the money that Mrs. Nichols had placed beside her. He thought, “As long as there’s news
of Heather, I don’t mind spending money.” He was even willing to use all his assets to exchange for it! He continued
to ask Mrs. Nichols questions. “Where did the pair of mother and daughter come from?” Mrs. Nichols said she didn’t
know. Lee asked again, “Is there anything special about Tina’s mother?” Mrs. Nichols said that she didn’t look like a
villager. She was probably from the city. Although she wasn’t dressed particularly well, she had a refined aura. Lee
asked, “Why did they come to this village? How many days did they stay? What did they do during those few days?”
Mrs. Nichols shook her head as she thought about it. She suddenly thought of something and said, “They came here
to visit Meazu Church. The second day after they came, they went to Meazu Church. “Tina’s mother asked me for
some ingredients to make her own pastries. She went to pay her respects at Meazu Church for three consecutive
mornings. After paying her respects for three days, she left.” “What pastries did they make? Who made them?” Lee
asked anxiously. Mrs. Nichols thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know what kind of pastry it is. Tina’s mother
made it.” “What ingredients did she use?” “I think she used chestnuts. She also asked me to buy some milk or
something. I forgot,” Mrs. Nichols recalled. After the girl translated, Jeremy immediately said, “Mr. Xander, it’s
chestnut cake. It’s our Jadeborough specialty. Lee-nodded. “Yes.” He then asked Mrs. Nichols, “What language did
they speak?” Mrs. Nichols shook her head. She was a native fisherwoman. She only knew how to distinguish a local
language from a foreign language and couldn’t identify other languages. “Did they speak in the same language?”
Lee asked again. Mrs. Nichols said that she didn’t remember. Lee asked Mrs. Nichols to call him if she thought of
any details in the future. “Okay, okay,” Mrs. Nichols said repeatedly when the girl translated. Lee and the others
stood up and bade farewell. Lee had been thinking about something. If Tina was Heather, why would her “mother”
bring her to pay respects at Meazu Church for three consecutive days? Could it be that she could not be cured after
being treated in the hospital, so she became a believer and went to pay her respects at Meazy Church? How long
had she been going to Meazu Church? No matter what, he would go to Meazu Church and ask around. Perhaps the
priests inside would be able to recognize the person in the photo and remember why they came here. Lee
immediately asked the girl who acted as his interpreter. “Where’s the nearest Meazu Church?” The girl knew that
Lee was looking for someone, and she was enthusiastic about helping. “I happen to have nothing to do. I’ll go with
you.” “Thank you so much,” Lee said. The girl was called Susie Strome. Susie led them to walk for more than half
an hour. Finally, they arrived at Meazu Shurch. “Are there many Meazu Churches nearby?” Lee asked. Susie shook
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher head. “Not many. This is the only one within a radius of dozens of miles.” “Alright, let’s go in. Wait a moment, I’ll
ask for a candle.” Lee went to light a candle. He was not a believer in the past. Ever since that day when the
exorcist said that Heather’s fate should not end, he began to believe in religion. Since he was here, he would pray.
He would pray to God to take care of Heather. He knew that it had been 17 years. Even if Heather was still alive,
things would have changed. However, he didn’t care. He only wanted her to be alive and happy no matter what she
was like now. After lighting a candle, Lee immediately donated a large sum of money to the church. Then, he took
out the photo and asked the older priests about what happened 17 years ago. Several priests had been working at
the church for more than twenty years. However, they saw countless devotees every day and really could not
remember the person in the photo. Lee originally wanted to come to Meazu Church to find out some information
about Heather’s whereabouts, but he did not expect that there would be no news again. He said to Jeremy, “It
doesn’t matter. Let’s continue asking questions. We’ll go to all the Meazu Churches. He believed that there would be
a priest with a good memory somewhere. Perhaps this priest would happen to remember Heather? Just as they
were about to leave, a priest said, “Show it to Hugh. Hugh has a good memory. Come, I’ll take you there. “Thank
you!” Lee immediately thanked him and followed the priest to see Hugh. Hugh was in the Blessing Hall. In front of
the statue at the front of the hall, some devotees were praying silently with their heads bowed. Hugh said a few
words from time to time. A middle-aged woman brought a necklace with a cross to Hugh and asked him to bless it.
He lit a candle and chanted an incantation to bless the necklace. After he was done, he looked at the priest who
brought Lee over. “Why aren’t you guarding your hall?”
